Good Morning LL ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (LOTS! I just love ~O) ), and Happy TUNA Tuesday! and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, KBP, kitteh barista pilot!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! GUESS WHAT! Today is TUNA TUESDAY!!! In honor of Tuna Tuesday, once again Lola and Bug, aka Paw Prints Pizza, will make their famous triple tuna pies, with tuna and nip infused crust, tuna toppings, and now triple tuna infused cheese. YUMMMMMMMM! It's tradition!, and these pizza pies totally rock! As a side benefit we have TUNA WATER too! Anybody wanna hang out in Mannie's treehouse today? Bring in the New Year? We are opens to anything, so let us know! PARTY!!! so. well. anyways. ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and triple shot espresso, beans from the heart of central Ethiopia. and for my mocha fans: Venti Quad orange and vanilla mocha, laced with orange swirls, topped with chocolate whip, garnished with orange zest, slivered vanilla beans and chocolate swirls....SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of orange and vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, topped with crystallized oranges and chocolate drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are really good today too! OH!

I hope everyone had a great Monday. Mine was great. It ended up being a let the day evolve day. One of those where one thing led to another, until I finally decided, I need a road trip! :-D So that is what I did: rains or no rains, cold or no cold, fog or no fog... Here s what I wrote Lat night about the day: "Hi everyone! I hope your day has been a good one. Mine has been AWESOME! I got alot done in the morning. One of those days when I was in the mood to toss, so I did. Got rid of alot of stuff, things I don't really use, clutter, etc. I was sitting here about 10:30 thinking ok, now what? - Ii occurred to me that I just didn't care that it was cold wet and rainy on the outside and on the rivers, I was going anyways. It also gave me a chance to assess conditions and see if it is doable for the boys. SO.... off the the Skykomish River! Index area is really as bit cold and icy, might do for a short stop, The river at Gold Bar is in good shape, not too cold... anyways - had a good time on the Skykomish today. A cold and wet one, but still very nice. And.... (!!!) I found a new spot for the boys and I. I have driven by Trout Creek, which flows into the Skykomish several dozen times, never stopped. today I did. One gets through the trees and this is the view you see. Simply outstanding, breathtaking. Almost as good as Jack's Pass. Jack's to me feels more one on one, this spot feels vast, less personal, but ever so good. It is really an exceptional spot. There is a long pull out, camp ground on the other side of Trout Creek, which I will be taking the little guy too, once it warms just a tad, it was a little snowy, alot icy there today. Primo spot. :cool: WOOT! What a day!"

Normalcy in MusketeerVille! :cool: :cool: :cool: The kitties were good kitties yesterday - even Lola. Fancy that! Well, normal Lola. The tree is still standing!, at least for a few more days. I am elated. She did make several trips up the middle yesterday afternoon, hopped around on a few branches before she once again flew, yes flew, on out from the middle, with one of her new "toys" in her clenched teeth. :shock: :lol: :lol: My poor ornaments. Once again I had to go on a retrieval mission yesterday - she has so many scattered around the base of the tree. :lol: :lol: I still sit and laugh every time she goes up that tree, as she just flies up that stalk, no slow climb, it is like catapult.... and yes, still, when the tree starts to sway I still hold my breath that it doesn't fall. The swaying is now more pronounced... hold on Christmas tree! only a few more days.... :roll: :lol: :lol: Bug is such a lovable cool kitty. He is always there to greet me when I come home, so much like the way Mannie did. He follows me everywhere, waits patiently for me to give him rubs and pets. He's such a sweetie. He must really like his new toys that Santa Claws brought him - they were scatted all over the front room, into the kitchen. :lol: :lol: YAY Bug! Elsa has latched onto the new nanner, and in true Mannie fashion, has not shared it. :lol: :lol: :lol: GO ELSA! Sure seems like Normalcy in MusketeerVille to me. :cool:

Have a great day everyone. I am meeting my son for Breffis - YAY! After that I am off to Seattle for a short trip to pick up my new specs. They are finally ready. HOORAY! New specs!!! I so hope I still like the ones I picked out..... :roll:

KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!! cat_pet_icon

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Celebrate well, and safely. Here's to a fabulous 2014!!

Morning Michelle ~O) ~O) and Happy New Year, I haven't been visiting in a while and decided I needed some of Lola and Bug's tuna pizzas and definitely Elsa's Triple Espressos and 10 Hour Energy coffee. That looks like a great place for the boys next adventure, especially the Trout Creek, too. Awesome pictures and video. Love the train. I saw yesterday's video of the trapeze. That would be great for Bug and Lola. I wish I lived closer, as I'd send Katie over for a playdate. :lol: She's been swinging from whatever she can find here or into drawers. I'm glad you're leaving the tree up for Lola, or at least until it is...........ah well you know, not still standing. :lol:
Have a great time at breffifs with your son and yay on the new specks. Hugs and scritches from Katie and me to all.

Good morning Michelle ~O) Thanks Elsa! I'm in slow going mode this morning :-D

Sounds like a good day for you yesterday! And happy kitties all around, makes a day even better!
Have a safe trip to Seattle, and hopefully the specs are exactly what you hoped for ;-) If you see Wilson or Lynch please give them a big hug for me. They won me $20 on Sunday's game :lol: :lol:
Have a great day Michelle, and Happy New Year's Eve!!!!

Morning Michelle,

First off, WOW, on your camera's zoom! And love, love the mountain views♥ It is so different from my area, it is like I am watching a movie. :-D It was sweet to see Nicholas' name in the sand. Soon he will be at that exact spot with you and William~
Glad to see all is normal with the kitties - Thanks for the ~O) ~O) Elsa, needed some extra today!

Happy New Years Eve~

I am so looking forward to taking him there, bot of the boys! yupp! another two days for the tree..... GO LOLA!

Re: 12/31 LOOSE LIPS: A day on the Skykomish, & HAPPY NEW YE

I'm glad the tree is still standing. Lola is having so much fun with it. :lol:

I hope you have a good breakfast with your son and like your new specs.
 
Re: 12/31 LOOSE LIPS: A day on the Skykomish, & HAPPY NEW YE

I love that Bug meets you at the door, and follows you :-D Chyna used to do that, but I think her old arthritic bones (and frequent feedings) make her less inclined to do so now, but she still perks up to see me and sometimes comes to find me. I really do have to go find one of those nanners everyone talks about, so glad that Elsa loves it :smile: And Lola, loves that tree. Did you decide to order that trapeze? That would be fun to watch on video with her on it :lol:

Hope you have a good breffis and still like your specs. Happy New Year, Michelle! party_cat
 
Re: 12/31 LOOSE LIPS: A day on the Skykomish, & HAPPY NEW YE

What a great new spot to take the boys, a river and trains! Have a great time today in the City!

Sweet little Bug! Tess used to greet us in the window when we came home, now she raises her head and goes "Oh, were you gone?" :roll: We've become too predictable.

I've looked at that trapeeze too! No where here to put it either and Tess doesn't climb as much anymore. Emma However! :roll: Lola would love it!
 
Re: 12/31 LOOSE LIPS: A day on the Skykomish, & HAPPY NEW YE

Hi everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope your evening is fun filled, a great celebration. I however, will be lucky to see midnight. :lol: I have done absolutely nothing this afternoon -what is up with that? I did see my son for breffis, which as always was alot of fun. We are still going to the same place, as we both like it. No $1.00 pancakes today though - bummer. ;-) His breakfast looked rally good: pancake stack, eggs and bacon. YUM! me? A veggie omelet that was really good. I was able to get my new specs after that, Yahoo! And yes, I still like them. It is so nice to have a pair again that isn't falling apart. :lol: :lol: I really didn't do much in the afternoon - the weather was dreary and wet, so I stayed indoors and worked on a few tings that needed completion. And I cracked open that book, but didn't get too far.... Enjoy your evening everyone. Happy New Year to everyone.

Hi Carla - Me too on the tree, one night to go! That is so true: she really is enjoying it. I will feel bad, well somewhat, when I have to take it down. THC on today - all was great: breffis, and the new specs are good to go. :cool:

Hi Rachel - many thanks! Me too on Bug - it is fun. Lola will most of the time too. Elsa is hit and miss: she too is a senior, who doesn't always see the need to meet and greet mom. :lol: and YES! You gotta try the nanners! They are awesoem, and were without a doubt Mannie's fav toy. I have not ordered the trapeze, I just don't have anywhere to put it. if I did it would be on the next express delivery, as I know she, and Bug would love it. well, i will think on it some, see if anywhere here would be good....

Hi Ann - it is a great spot! This is where we went when Nicholas was learning about salmon runs - it is where he was able to stand in the river with them, so now that I have found another spot close by that, well major goods to go. Too funny on Tess and the greetings. That is how BJ was, and now Elsa, more or less. Yupp on that trapeze - I wish I had a spot for it... it needs room, and I just don't have that. With Lola I know it would be swinging rather wildly.... :lol:
 
Re: 12/31 LOOSE LIPS: A day on the Skykomish, & HAPPY NEW YE

What a sweet kitty report on all three. I hope Lola finds a productive way to spend her energy once the tree is down! Have Happy New Year, Michelle!
 
Re: 12/31 LOOSE LIPS: A day on the Skykomish, & HAPPY NEW YE

Oranges and chocolate drizzle and fudge - oh my! After the tree comes down -WWLD (What Will Lola Do)?
