Good Morning LL!! 
(Ahhhhhh.... elixir! Thanks Elsa~), and Happy Catmint Caturday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! GUESS WHAT! Lola and Bug's new leaf continues, even after being up late for the Full Moon Party at Rusty's! AMAZING!! !! Once again, on a Caturday, there has been no more sleeping in! So many Caturday's in a row!!! :shock: Paw Prints Pizza is open and ready for business! They are running a Caturday Catnip special today, in honor of Catmint Caturday - lots of nip in those pies! They have even used their signature nip cheese.
Best order early! so. well. anyways. Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and Double shot espressos, with beans from deep within the mountain slopes of Africa, AND.... for all my Mocha fans: a venti quad peppermint white chocolate mocha, with peppermint infused whip, garnished with peppermint candy chips and white chocolate shavings... It is my bean's fav! SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of peppermint and vanilla and chocolate and caramel swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, sprinkled with peppermint chips and a chocolate caramel drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts too!
I could not help but think of Mannie yesterday. It was 6 months ago yesterday that he crossed to the Bridge. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him. I still feel that Bug reminds me of him in so many ways. It's been a while since I've had a sign for him, though I do know all with well with him. Bug came into sit with me for a few yesterday. I knew it was Bug, but when I looked at him I saw Mannie, his face, shape and form, with those goofy squinty eyes he used to do, Maybe it was a sign, maybe it was just becasue I was thinking about him. Yesterday Linda of Linda and Bear Man posted a photo on FB of Bear Man and Teddy together, as it was one year since Teddy had crossed, three years since Bear Man. It is uncanny how much Mannie looked like Bear Man - they could have been twins. Perhaps they were, some kindred spirit. The timing of the photo post was uncanny too. well... here's to you Mannie! My Nanner King, president and CEO of the CPC, Chef extraordinaire, BMG founder, fellow companion for the KTSS, FDMB Olympic Diving Champion. Enjoy life at the bridge, take good care of the new arrivals... In my heart forever little one. We all miss you.
I hope everyone had a great Furday. Mine was so busy and so crazy, but we all had a great time. It was the last of my weeks where I have the boys for five days during the week. It will seem odd to be back to the three days. We all had a GREAT TIME before heading on out for our adventures.
We stayed local today, in an effort to have a more mellow day out with the boys. oh sure, and HAHA! Once Nicholas gets going and into wherever he is the is no mellow. ENERGIZED on all levels. Why do I think William will be the same.... ;-) Here is what I wrote about yesterday in last night's post: "Hi everyone! I hope your day has been a good one. It was the last of my five days a week stint with the boys. Today we headed on out to two local parks: one a river park, the other a beach park. The day was a busy one for us, but wow, what fun. The weather was another gorgeous fall day here: sun after a very dense foggy morning, and maybe 50 tops. We did the Sammamish River at Bothell in the morning, somewhat in the fog, with not much sun there until we left about noon to head on over to the beach at Juanita Beach Park. Bothell was really great - from the kids stuff to river wading, all of it. He was out in the river trying to catch ducks. It is interesting though that he knows without my telling him how far he can safely go. Kid came out of that one a tad bit wet. Just good ole boy fun. I do not know of many kids that would want to be out in the river, in all that wet and fog and upper 40's and not be cold. He was having such a blast. We ate lunch on a park bench, William liked that too, and then headed to the car to warm up, plan adventure #2 to the beach. Juanita Beach was nice - lots of sun there. Little guy had a blast, tons of sand rolling, and digging himself in, and the inevitable ducks. Here he is on his belly, digging in the sand, tuning to the water, tossing this and that, over and over again. What fun! I wore them out today. Both crashed when I loaded them in the car at 4 to meet with their dad. Bet they sleep well tonight. " Picassa links: Sammamish River @ Bothell's Landing and Juanita Beach Park
Normalcy in MusketeerVille!! It is oddly quiet here this morning.... too quiet.... the calm before the storm? It seems this is the norm every Caturday... hmmmm... somehow I remember writing this last Caturday too. The heat has been on in the house the past few days. it is interesting to see who flocks to the heat registers,and who doesn't. Bug has adopted Mannie's other bed that sat right next to one. Elsa still ignores them, sleeps on the bed downstairs. Lola sits and stares at them, lets the heat blow in her face. No surprise there! I can be using the blow dryer on my hair and she will come an see what the noise is. I can blow her fur with it and she just sits there, lets me do it. Tilts her head up some. What a cat! :lol: :lol: :lol: I learned yesterday that I cannot leave a wrapped loaf of bread out... she had that all over the floor: bag torn, bread scattered. :shock: :roll: :roll: :roll: WOW: now even bread isn't safe. LOLA! :lol: :lol: :lol: As I type she has just started a kitty marathon run... up and down the halls, wrap speed. The thundering herd has returned....
Have a great day everyone. it is a for sure catch up day here: shopping, errands, laundry and some cleaning. And recovery time. I thoroughly enjoyed having both boys for five days, but need some regroup time. :lol: :lol: So that shall be today. That and an afternoon walk, to the shore I hope!
