Good Morning LL!!! 
(Elsa: best make the quad shots today.... one sleepy bean!), and Happy Furday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! GUESS WHAT! today is TPIF Day! YUPP! Thank Pizza It's Friday! Lola and Bug, aka Paw Prints Pizza, love Friday's so they decided that since it is TPIF day that anyone can have any kind of pizza they wants - anythings!!! All with extra nip cheese!!! So get your orders in early! They say this is the way Furday's should be! I am exited too that it's Furday - so... I will make my Coffee Cat special of the day! FRAPPE FRIDAY! YUM!!!! Anything you want - just let me know. OOOOOO this will be such a good day. Rusty - orders are ready for NYC delivery! so. well. anyways. Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and triple shot Cappuccinos with extra foam, made from beans from High in the mountains of Jamaica. And for all my mocha fans: a Venti quad dutch apple infused white mocha, with caramel whip, garnished with caramelized apple clusters, white chocolate shavings and a caramel drizzle...... SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of apple and vanilla and chocolate and caramel swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, sprinkled with crystallized apple bits and a chocolate caramel drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are along for the ride.
WOO HOO!!!! IT ISFRIDAY FURDAY! 
I hope everyone had a great day yesterday. We did well here. It was somewhat cloudy where we went, but no rains so no complaints! We traveled on HWY 2, which runs parallel to the Skykomish River for a while, and also a main RR line for some distance too. Nicholas was so thrilled that he saw 6 trains on those tracks while we were en-route. That was cool LOL: William slept through that part... :roll: We went to Jack's Pass, per Nicholas's request. he is rather fond of the area, and I have to admit I'd go ther any time in a heartbeat. it's just one of those places that is so so nice..... here is what I wrote in last nights post: "Hi everyone! I hope your day was a good one. Ours was great - a road trip with the boys. We went back to the Skykomish River today, to an area known as Jacks Pass. I LOVE this area - it is semi-remote, with the best darn river views ever, mixed with mountain stuff, and some nicely forested areas. Very very primo! Our decision to head on up/over to Jack's Pass, and the River was a great one. I figured, why not. Soon enough the way to get there now will be snow covered, and we might as well get there while we can. The drive up was great. Nicholas managed to see a total of 6 trains coming and going, that always makes his day. The level of excitement rises substantially when that happens. :lol: :lol: Weather report was good, too bad that all that sun never really did make an appearance. We got a few rays every now and then. No matter though, it still was great up there. A tad bit windy, which made it darn cold, but the boys had fun anyways. We explored the usual haunts, then headed in to the town of Skykomish to check it our and see if we could see any more trains. Skykomish is a small quaint town, an old RR town, just west of Stevens Pass. In all the times I have gone there I have never seen a train travel through town. Today we did. LOL: a bonanza day for trains. It was a fun stop for the boys. Even William was awake for that one. He did well today today - awake for most of jack's pass. I suspect that the cold winds helped with that. ;-) All in all a very nice day on the river in a very nice place. Autumn colors were outstanding, as was the river." AWESOME DAY! Picassa links: Waiitng for the trains.... Skykomish and Skykomish River at Jack's Pass One of the things I love about there road trips Is Nicholas, and his session in the back seat. he is alwyas talking, discussing, sharing all that he sees. I just love his perspective on everything: simple, pure, unencumbered. There never is a quiet moment there, unless the sleep thing takes over. :shock: :lol: I took several photos of that road trip... he is such a great travel companion: The Many Faces of Travel
I am constantly taken back by how much Nicholas loves his bro, how compassionate he is, how caring, and helpful. He does have his moments where that isn't the case, he can be a little "rough", but 95% of the time there is nothing but Brotherly love. It is just so cool! There are some photos included in the albums above that tell the story...
Normalcy in MusketeerVille!!
WOW! LOLA!!!! Escape artist extraordinaire.... 
:roll: :roll: :roll: :evil: I am leaving to get the boys yesterday AM, at O-dark Thirty. when out of the corner of my eye I see this FLASH! faster than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet, faster than wrap speed! it was Lola! up the stairs in a single bound and out the tiny crack of an opening of the front door. It took her all of 3 seconds to make it from the bottom of the stairs to the front stoop. OMG!! It was pitch black out there, I couldn't see her anywhere, and was in a semi- panic mode as I just didn't have the time to spend to search the neighborhood for Miss Curious. :evil: :evil: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: So........ ran back inside , grabbed a bag of kitty treats and started shaking it as loudly as I could. silly Lola.... her gut wins every time, and she comes out from the bushes, leaps and bounds, and lands on the treat bag. GOTCHA MISS LOLA!, and drug her back inside. ARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHH! but I made my connection, and got the boys on time. darn Lola. I hope she enjoyed the outdoors. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It sure got my adrenaline working.... :roll: Can I still say Normalcy in MusketeerVille? Guess so....
Have a great day everyone! I will have both boys again today. Swim day for nicholas! YAY! I will try and get to condos when I can. Sorry I missed you many of you yesterday.
KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!! cat_pet_icon
