Good Morning LL!! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (lots, just cuz I LOVE ~O) ), and Happy Wednesday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista! I have the bestest job ever. Mannie was so right - being a barista is so mega cool. I needs a logo, a company name though.... Mannie was the Flying Cat Company, which was so cool, and so Mannie. I wonder what I should be? Hmmmmm..... what'd'ya guys think? PawPrints Pizza has been mega busy - the orders just keep flying in from all over LL! They are one set of happy kitties. OOOOOO They have been thinking abut catering new moon parties. I dunno.... Rusty, our very own LL chef - what do you thinks? so. well. anyways. onwards! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and triple shot Breve's made from New Orleans Chickory beans. 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......... YUM!!! I LUVS Choco whip! and no worries! an Ice cream dollop included: orange and vanilla and chocolate Neapolitan!

What a day yesterday! I had a great breffis with my son. it is always so fun to hang out with him over plates of good food. as always I took some photos, much to his dismay. :lol: oh well he takes such fun photos! :lol: :lol: See? : Anthony The morning yesterday was interesting. I started to do yard work, ended up dislodging and disturbing, big time, a yellow jackets nest, who in turn decided I was the bee's public enemy number #!. OW! Those stings really HURT! Thank goodness it was only one.... I now sport this huge welt on my arm. D*** Bees! I decided enough was enough, so came in, hung out here for a while , voted for DCIN. Much more fun, and painless. Be sure and vote BTW, you can vote daily.

I spoke with my daughter yesterday. My new DGS, #2, aka William, is doing very well. He had his 4 day after being born appt on Monday, passed with flying colors. Nicholas just adores his baby bro. Mom and dad have decided to keep him in all his normal activities, so he was off to the other grandma's yesterday. When he came home the first thing he did was go and find William. Erin says he wants to help with everything: the diapers, wrapping him in his receiving blanket, holding his hand, baths, just anything and everything. He checks on him all the time when he is sleeping. Nicholas has become quite the little helper at home too - laundry, cooking, cleaning, plants watering, vacuuming, garbage dumping, making sure the recycling is correct, and the list goes on and on and on.... This little boy will make the best big brother. So far he is having such fun with it, and I so hope he still will a year from now, 5 years, 10, the rest of their lives. :-D Somehow I think they will.

For any of you that are interested, the work on our fallen Interstate freeway bridge continues, and they are almost ready to join the temporary span repair to the main bridge and freeway. It should be a few more weeks, maybe days. It is amazing how quickly that have pulled this off. Once in place and all is well, they will begin work on the permanent repair. We all will be ever so glad when normal traffic flow north has been restored. YAY!!! Here's a link to some of the photos of the temporary fix: WSDOT: Skagit River Bridge Repair

Have a great day everyone. Nicholas and I and his dad will be going swimming today, just as we would on any other Wednesday. it should be fun having his dad there too. Jason has taken two weeks off from work to spend time at home with Erin, Nicholas and of course William. He is very excited to be able to come and see the energizer FISH in action. We hope to also explore the pool trails. YAY! I hope to be able to get to condos later in the day. :-D

And kitties! THINK BLUE!! THINK GREEN!!
 
Morning Michelle, that sounds like such a fun time with Anthony and breffifs. Those pancakes and eggs and potatoes look so good, yum, and I am hungry for good breffifs food. I had some cereal, no comparison! :lol:
How adorable with Nicholas wanting to help with everything with William. That is so sweet the way he can't wait to see him first thing.
Amazing work on the Bridge and so fast getting it on it's way to fully repaired.
Elsa, thanks for my coffee and the neighboes thank you, too. I think it would be a great thing if the kitties want to host the Full Moon parties. Le me think a bit on the Logo for Elsa's company. I'm sure w will gets some good feedback.
Enjoy your time with Nicholas today and his Dad with swimming and a trail picnic.
 
HI Ann ~O) ~O) ~O) THX: we do have a great time at breffis. it is a small family owned restaurant, with good basic food, and lots of it. LOL on your cereal... but you are right: no comparison. :lol: ;-) I thinks o too on Nicholas - he really likes his little bro - we will see how he feels when William starts getting into all his stuff. :-D oh yes on the bridge - those photos are quite fascinating. I am looking forward to today - it will be great for his dad to see for himself all that we do in the pool: the energizer FISH in action. :cool: I bet too the Nicholas wants to take him on the trail - berry hunting awaits! :-D
Auntie Ann! I gots you covered! I am so glad your neighbors like my brew. Mannie always said they were cool people. They even gave him kitty treats - very cool! ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista
 
Oh Elsa, all that ~O) ~O) ~O) sounds wonderful! Sorry about the bee sting Michelle, they hurt! I got stung on my lip once, that was the worst place...not a fun time. I've been voting for DCIN too:) I'm glad you could have a nice meal with your son, it doesn't look like he's too disturbed at the photos :lol: Have a great day with your family!
 
Good Morning, Guys,

Sounds like the day is off to a good start with Elsa's ~O) and the anticipation of a swim day with Nicholas and his dad. How neat that Jason can take off 2 weeks to be with the family. Nicholas sounds like a huge help. What a great kid he is!
Michelle, I hope your bee sting is feeling better this morning. Those are no fun. Stay away from that spot in the yard!!
Love those pics of Anthony.

Enjoy the day,

Ella & Rusty

Hey Bug and Lola, It would be great if we could start a new LL "tradition" of having New-Moon pizza parties at the Paw Prints Pizzeria. And, as LL's NCIC, I'll be sure to order some Paw Prints pizzas for the Full Moon parties, but those parties will continue as usual with lots of other types of fuds and venues appropriate to the time of year and the "theme" of the full moon.
~Rusty, NCIC
 
Morning Rachel ~O) ~O) ~O) Thanks for the visit! oh OUCH! on the lip? That is the worst, I won't complain about mine then. THX on breffis yesterday - and I agree. He always says why all the pics. HAHA, but still let's me take them. What a guy.... :-D THX on today - it will be fun!
Auntie Rachel - YAY! Another customer! it is good, I PROMISE! I brings you two. ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

Morning Ella ~O) ~O) ~O) THX, I think it is good too that Jason could take the time off. it will help Erin alot, as she gets the routine set with William. It is great that Jason can participate in the things that Nicholas and I do. Pics of it all are one thing, but to be a part of it all is another matter. I have no doubt he will have a blast. :-D I think so too on our little helper. He really tries and does a good job too. Too fun! And yes on the spot in the yard. I will have to come up with a solution for removal, as Nicholas plays there.... :roll:
Auntie Ella - Thanks you - it is so cool to help with the start of a day. I will brings more, and some for Uncle Edward too - Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

Just let us know any times you need a PawPrints Pizza - we can crank out great pies mega fast, ~~ Lola and Bug, prez's and ceo's PawPrints Pizza
 
When I read the subject line, I thought Nicholas was fixing the bridge... but it sounds like he's doing everything BUT fix the bridge. :lol: :lol: How great is that! Ouch on the wasp sting! Yikes! We put out a trap this year and there are about 30 in there now. They are annoying in 1s and 2s, let alone a whole angry nest. Sounds like you will need to call professionals? Have a great day at the pool. I'm sure N's dad will be as entertained as we are. :-D

ouch! Bummer on the bee sting! We have tons of wasp nests around our front porch .. it's always a run to any car we are trying to get into, before we get stung!

How sweet of Nicholas to be such a big help to his mom and dad and new brother! I am sure the two of them are going to grow up being best friends .. :-D

Who know? maybe he could do that too! :lol: :lol: Good idea on the bee trap - why hadn't I thought of that? Might take are of some of them. stoopid bees! Might just do the prf thing too. THX on N adn the pool - and his dad - this will be such fun!

Morning Devon ~O) ~O) ~O) I know - the mad dash here i the back yard!! :lol: I so agree on nicholas - love it, and thx!
 
Hi Michelle. As always, great pics. They're moving along on the bridge repair pretty quickly. At-A-Boy to Nicholas for stepping up and helping with his new brother, William. He sure is a smart little guy.

Have a great day at the pool.
 
Elsa, the triple shot Breve's made from New Orleans Chickory beans were just the thing this morning! :shock: Oooooooooooooo, Venti Quad orange and vanilla mocha, laced with orange swirls, topped with chocolate whip, garnished with orange zest, slivered vanilla beans and chocolate swirls, I think I need one of those too! Hey, how about this for your coffee business? -- Auntie Annbean

Ouch on the wasp! The trap is a good idea! Keep everyone safer.

How fun that Jason will get to come to the pool. He will be so proud of Nicholas and he can help pick the highest berries along the trail! :lol: :lol:

It's amazing how quickly they can get repairs don when they really need to! Thanks for the update on the bridge.
 
Hi everyone! YaHOO! What a great day at the pool. it was so fun to have Nicholas's dad there too. The energizer FISH did not disappoint. Jason was able to get him to swim the width of the bigger pool underwater. Impressive! He'd then go and sit on the bottom of the pool, asking Nicholas to come and get him once he was there. And he did, made most of the tries. That was fun too. It was great to see both father and son having such a good time. Kudos to his dad for surviving 2.5 hours in teh pool. :-D :cool: We went and did the trail be the pool afterwards, so that Nicholas could show his dad all the salmonberries. We had our very own trail guide. :lol: :lol: Nicholas was so proud to show his dad all his fav places. It really was very cute. I will post the Picassa links in tomorrow's LooseLips.

Hi John ~O) ~O) ~O) THX on the pics. A big yes on the bridge repair - It's such a major travel spot, and so close to the border that the sooner it is done, the better for all. What an ordeal it has been not having that bridge. :roll: :roll: It is wonderful that Nicholas wants to help - sure does make it easier on mom, and dad. THX on all, we think so too.

Hi Ann ~O) ~O) ~O) I could not agree more on that darn wasp. OW!!!!!!!!!!!! Still have a bit of a welt this AM, but much better today. :-D Oh yes on the trap - I will be getting one of those. Like today. Oh yes too on Jason coming to the pool - it was such wodnerful thing to see them together, and for Nicholas to be able to show off for his dad. They had such a good time together. The salmonberry hunt was fun too - thank goodness for a tall dad that could reach those berries wayyyyy upppppppp highhhhhhh :lol: :lol: :cool: -- I agree on that bridge - this sped along at warp speed. They almost had too - all those issues with getting the truckers through. so - temp will be in soon. Then the big repair starts. @-) :cool: :cool:
Auntie Ann!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOO! A double order! I can do that, for sure! Some for Uncle John too? AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LIKES IT! That is mega cool "COFFEE CAT" - perfecto! thanks you Auntie Ann. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista
 
I'm glad Jason was able to go to the pool with you and Nicholas today. It sounds like they had a lot of fun. That's great Nicholas wants to help so much and be around William all of the time. He sounds like he will be a great big brother.
 
Sounds like you had a wonderful day today! I bet E.Fishie loved having his DaddyBean along for the ride! Wonderful news that Erin and William are doing well, and that everyone is settling in so nicely!

Hopefully the bridge is getting fixed safely, since it's getting fixed so quickly :shock: !

Have a great evening recovering, Michelle!
 
Hi Michelle,
(((((((all of you)))))) What a great day! Can't wait to see the pictures with Fishie and dad at the pool. Nichofish :lol: Sounds like there's lots of fun going on over there. :-D :-D :-D Take care of that darn sting. A trap sounds like a good idea.

Elsa Lil Bit. Thanks for leaving my mocha on the counter! It was the most perfect start to the day!! Sorry i missed you this morning. I'll be waiting for you tomorrow. BIG SCRITCH to you!! xoxoxo Auntie mary

Oh This is tooooo cooool. We're gonna have new moon parties?! With pizzas from the PawPrints! YAY! I guess we gotta give the "rookies" the
R E S P E C T they deserve. very cool. - oliver
 
Hi Carla - it was so fun to have nicholas's dad there . What a great time for them both! I think so too on the big brother - so far he rally likes this kid. Erin says it's so fu to watch him with his little bro. :-D

Hi Amy - It was a great day - THX! oh yes on his dad being there Nicholas was so excited! , and more energized than he usually is. :shock: things are rally going well for Nicholas's family - he's one happy little boy.-- And I know on the bridge! They do report daily about the inspections to make sure all is safe. people are a little concerned about the speed, rightfully so. reports are too that they are allowing minimal traffic on the span at a time too, minimal speeds. so though open it won't be totally up to speed. . :shock: :shock: And thanks on the recovery tonight - so needed!

Hi Mary - THX, it was just that: a great day! LOVE THAT: NICHOFISH! :-D :-D :-D It was such fun for him and his dad. THX too on the sting - it is better today, though still visible. I too like the trap idea.
Auntie Mary - no problem! I didn;ts want to wake you,. so.... counter seemed good. I see you tomorrow! better ok? !! Elsa, Lil BIT, kitty barista
Ollie! That is the word! Lola and Bug are so stoked! new moon parties catered by Paw Prints Pizza! SWEET! They make really good pies now. Cool huh. and I suppose.... on the... R E S P E C T. they did do good.... ~~ Elsa
