Good Morning LL!! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (YUM! Elsa outdid herself this morning: PRIMO!), and Happy Wacky Wednesday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, KBP!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT! Today is WACKY WEDNESDAY!!! Just like every Wednesday Lola and Bug SWEAR that it won't be wacky pizzas, just wacky Wednesday. Whatever that means.... The whack-a-thon marathons continue. Excellent pizzas to the best whacker! so... well... Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and triple shot espressos, with beans from Starbucks Pike Place Market, their original blend, 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's Christmas! We have to have peppermint! ....SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of mint and vanilla and cimmamum swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, topped with peppermint chips and chocolate drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts always on the menu!

I hope everyone had a great Tuesday, that the day was been a good one. It was a breffis with my son day, a get a haircut day, and then a let the day evolve day. That evolution led me to the river yesterday. The sun was out, more or less, the temps were up, more or less, and well.... couldn't say no to that so out I went, on a mini adventure. :cool: Here's what I wrote last night about the day: "
Hi everyone! I hope your day has been a good one. Mine was great! Breakfast with Anthony was good. Nice time this morning, they always are. He's doing well. Not too much new at work for him, still treading water there. Boss has been gone alot so he is pretty much running the show. Rest of life is good. He is still trying to make the decision on what to remodel first in the house. He like all of us wishes it were spring. Cabin fever reigns there LOL. anyways - looking good, seems happy, smiles bound. GO KID! After breffis, and my haircut I decided a mini road trip was in order, time for a river visit. The sun was peeking trough, and I just couldn't waste that being indoors. So off to the Snoqualmie River I went. Loved being on the river today. What a great morning. I went to the Snoqulamie River by Twin falls, Olallie State Park, mainly to see how it was, ready for the boys etc. It was nice to see that there are no issues there, and whenever the weather says go, we shall. It wasn't running too high either, so that as nice. Granted that will change with the snow melt in the spring, but for now, not bad at all. One cannot get up to the Falls though. A mudslide has wiped out part of the trail. Bummer on that. well, no matter I guess - river was really great. I stopped in at Snoqulamie Falls on the way home, just cuz I could, and had the time. That was nice too, and not many there at all. LOL: windier there than at the river. I didn't do the trail down to the river, just didn't want to take the two hours time I would have taken to hike it. Anyways - very nice time out on the river today. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:" The River album also contains alot of random shots I took while en-route to the river. The sky was incredible, so thought I'd take a few Photos.

Normalcy in MusketeerVille! :cool: :cool: :cool: The kitties were good kitties yesterday, even Lola, for the most part... When I got home yesterday I decided to unwind a little and ride the indoor bike for a bit. I've been trying to do more of that, bike riding, as I find that those few minutes really do make a huge difference in my energy level. anyways - I get on the bike, and start peddling away. Within a few minutes I had an audience. Bug was just watching me trying to figure out what i was doing. ;-) Lola on the other hand was fascinated with the peddles. They go 'round and 'round, and so would her head. :lol: :lol: :lol: Pretty soon her tail was twitching, as were those paws. :shock: The next thing I knew I had a paw pawing at my foot as I peddled. Whack followed that. Then out came the claws - she was determined to grab that circling foot. I laughed so hard when she connected, the claw got stuck in my sock, and around and around went her foot as she would not let go, and I didn't stop peddling. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: She'd look at me, then at her circling paw with that look of "HUH?????" I was elated that she didn't decide chomping was in order. :shock: :shock: That was so funny. I eventually reached down and un-hooked her. Funny thing was -she did it again, twice! :shock: :roll: :roll: :roll: Silly cat. Bug was still watching this unfold, and Elsa, per the norm, was nowhere to be found. A for sure case of Normalcy in MusketeerVille!

Have a great day everyone. I am back on Nicholas and William duty today. Nicholas and I are off to swim this morning, while William spends that time at the other grandparents. We are due for some possible sunny weather in the afternoon, maybe we will get lucky and see that yellow thing in the sky. :-D HOPE SO! A trip to the park with the beach would be prefect for the afternoon. I will try and get to condos when I can....

KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!! cat_pet_icon
 
Sounds like a great day yesterday! Love the pics of you and Anthony having breakfast. What a wonderful tradition and great time to connect just the two of you. Great to hear his life is going along as planned and, other than work, is having a good time. Nice on the haircut. I need to do that too. Never enough time.

LOL on Lola. Silly kitty. Love her. Have a great day Michelle!!
 
Hi Michelle,
Lola the fearless :-D and a snuggler too. What a good combo :-D
Love the waterfall pics - they look a little wild!
Enjoy your day with the boys :-D Sending you sunshine vines~
 
Morning Michelle, and thank you, Elsa, for the 10 Hour Coffee and Triple Shot Espresso, excellent coffee as always! ~O) ~O) I'll take three wacky pizzas with the usual toppings, many thanks from me and my neighbors.
Katie thanks Elsa for bringing Lola along yesterday to deliver the tuna water personally to Katie. What crazy fun they had yesterday. I left them alone while I had an appt. to get my taxes done. Elsa had other deliveries and so could leave Lola for a play date. When I returned, it looked like they had some party :lol: and tons of fun, Lola has an open intite here any time, says Katie.
Sounds like a great time at breffifs yesterday with Anthony. Ditto on what Melissa said, a great way to stay connected and so enjoyable, too. Now I'm hungry for a good breffifs. Beautiful pics of both spots yesterday. You should be having nice weather, as rain is due down this way soon. Have a great time with the boys.
 
:lol: on Lola. She sure is an entertaining kitty. I hope you get some sun today and get to do something outside with the boys.
 
Hi everyone! How's life treating you this afternoon. Well, maybe it is evening. I hope your day has been a good one. Ours has been fantastic. it was a pool day for Nicholas, while William spent the morning with the otehr grandparents. We went hiking after that, as the weather was just too good not to! We got very lucky here today - sunny skies for the most part, 55/59 temps. It was so nice to be out today in the afternoon with out a coat. YAY! The energizer fishie was just that: energized, and so at home in the water! Good times! Nicholas did just over 2 hours. and then didn't want to get out. sheshhhh.... after we were dressed and heading out he says he thinks we should now go to the terrace pool. :shock: :lol: Crazy. He did well today, had a ton of fun, spent most of his big pool time fetching things off of the bottom of the pool. Made most of them too. He really loves being able to make the bottom, find what he can find. We had a couple of underwater swims one side to the other. Awesome look on his face when he makes the other side, without any help. GO KID. The first 30 minutes in the beach area was interesting. some little girl decided she wanted to play with him, which was all well and good. but she was one of these kids that has to monopolize all aspects of play. I think I spent more time referring than anything else. Today he learned how to tell another child no, he was playing with whatever it was, and she needs to wait her turn, and let him have is time. :roll: :roll: :cool: She was an annoying child. sheshhhh..... other than that - as always, fun stuff in the pool. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: We did the trail after that, the one by the pool. It's about a mile long, maybe, and he likes it, can pretend he's in the "wilderness." William was so happy to be out there. He will be just like Nicholas, with the love of the outdoors. His face just lit up when he saw where he was headed. Both boys had a great time together hiking. Lots of shared things, smiles, and exploring all we could find to explore. It has been a great day today. I will post the Picassa link in tomorrow's condo.

Hi Melissa :-D It was! I love that river... always a great place to go. THX too on the breffis stuff. It is one of my fav things to do, share those mornings. It is a great tradition, we have been doing this for a few years now, and I wouldn't trade the time for anything. I so know on the "never enough time" - I can so relate to that. Lola is something else isn't she? sheshhhh - I had to laugh at her yesterday - it was just too funny. What a joy she is.

Hi Jane :-D I like the - Lola the fearless. She truly is. What a crazy fun cat. I love that snuggle time -every morning when I put up this condo she will come and sit on my lap, snuggle in for some pets and sleep time, it is great! THX on the pics - that waterfall is very cool! It's a great place to go, get a thunderous waterfall fix. the river below makes for an awesome visit too. Hey thanks on the sunshine vines - THEY WORKED! we had sun!!

Hi Ann :-D Elsa says she made sure Lola and Bug doubled the order, as your neighbors were very hungry. :shock: Elsa also told me that Lola had a blast with Katie, so she hopes she can bring the tuna water next week too. :shock: And you left them alone????? :-D Well ok then on the open invite! :lol: :lol: :lol: I wish we had as much fun as our kitties do! THX, yesterday was fun with breffis with the kid, Always such a great time. THX too on the pics - truly a great river spot. And yes, we had sun today! YAY!!!!!

Hi Carla :-D Crazy cat! :lol: :lol: THX on today - we did get sun. That was so nice, so we all walked the trial by the pool. it is a very nice one, and even has a very small creek that runs through it. it is perfect for after swimming, as it is nearby, we can walk it before Nicholas is too tired, and ready to nap. Works out well for us.
 
Nicholas and the pool always amaze me...so cool that he loves it so very much! Pushy little girl, huh? Hopefully she's not training to be a pushy young woman!

Crazy Lola! You're brave...I would have been afraid she'd latch on and be spinning 'round and 'round!! No surprise she found the bike fascinating...silly girl.

Have a great night, Michelle!
 
Hi, Michelle, sounds like you had a fun day today :-D :-D :-D .
Glad you saw some ☼ !
Leave it to Lola to go after a (stationary) bicyclist :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: .
Enjoy your evening!
 
Hi Amy - I agree. Every time I see him in the pool, and watch him do what he does I am so amazed. He just loves it all, has such fun with it. so so agreed on the pushy girl... :roll: I know on Lola and that peddle. If she was in any danger I would have stopped, but she wasn't, so I had a good laugh and she had fun being Lola. :lol: :lol: :lol: No Spinning Lola, just one spinning paw and leg. :lol: :lol:

Hi Josie - THX for the visit! and I did! It gas been a great day. :-D :-D :-D Me to on the sun, paws crossed it returns tomorrow. :-D I so now on Lola... what a cat! she is so crazy.... love it!
