Good Morning LL!!!! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (lots! recovery day!), Happy 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 are still asleep! They said they were mega tired from TPIF day, and were sleeping in. Sheshhhh...... I guess that means they are taking the day off. I dunno! so. well. anyways. ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and Double shot Breve's, with beans from high in the Brazilian Mountains.... and for my mocha fans: a VENTI Quad Blueberry infused white mocha/mocha blend with white chocolate chips melted within, swirled with a raspberry purree, topped with a strawberry infused whip garnished with caramelized berry sprinkles and white chocolate curls and a caramel drizzle........ SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of four berry swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, sprinkled with crystallized berry bits and a chocolate caramel drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are along for the ride!

SO SORRY I didn't get to any condos last night. I sat down to do so and the darn internet went out... and the phones.... :roll: :-x ;-) for 5 hours!!!! DANG-NAB-IT! sorry guys!

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday. I sure did! Nicholas and I went to Snoqualmie for the Thomas the Train event. Crazy fun times! He had such a good time. Being able to ride on the train was such a thrill for him. Tis is waht I wrote in last night's condo about out grand adventure yesterday: "Happy Friday Night everyone!Time for Pizza and a brew or two! It is TPIF day after all. Lola! Bug! order up, please! ;-) Nicholas and I had a great time in Snoqualmie, and the Day with Thomas the Train event. They did a good job there in Snoqualmie, alot of volunteer effort t pull of an event with so many young children involved. The trains they use here in the process of renovation, date back several year, to the days when kerosene lamps were used for indoor illumination. They still have alot of work to do, but that part was kinda cool. I survived my outing with Nicholas to the Snoqualmie RR Museum so he could have a second go around with Thomas the Train. He had a blast. : )!! I'm still trying to recover from three hours of massive quantities of 5 and under kids! and the parents that went with them. O. M. G. it's OK though, the focus was on Nicholas and letting him have some fun. No doubt he did. It was fun to be able to ride on the train for a bit. The ride lasted about 30 minutes, and Nicholas really enjoyed it. You could tell how excited he was to be riding on a train. It was great! We went to the Snoqualmie Falls after that. BUSY there too. All the train folks had migrated there, LMAO, and expected. That trip turned into a berry hunting adventure. Lots of thimbleberries and huckleberries. All in all, he had a very good day. Me?: I so need a beer.... or something.... JUST KIDDING! it was nice to see Nicholas having such a good time, on the Thomas train, and hunting berries at the Falls. I will post the Picassa link in tomorrow's Loose Lips." PIcassa links: A Day with Thomas, Berry Hunting at Snoqulamie Falls, and Mobile uploads from both laces: Thomas and Snoqualmie Mobile Uploads

I was able to spend some time with Erin after I brought Nicholas home. Of course I had to take some photos. He is getting so big! William

ARGHHHHH!!!!! LOLA!!! As said above,... darn internet went our for about 5 hours last night, and with that: the phones. All here is packaged, so if one goes, it all goes. So I fiddled with it a bit b ut nothing worked, decided to wait to see if cable got it's you know what back together after a few hours, figuring that it was just down. Well anyways - I was about to call the cable folks, and thought I'd just check the box one last time, since it is their first question always: "Did you check your connection?" Well duh.... did that, but lo and behold, the phone system plug in was just hair ajar. I'd tested all before, but on the last go around I really pushed on it, heard that "click" . :shock: :shock: :shock: Voila! back online... Weird to think that a phone system plug in would knock out the internet too.... anyways, back to the LOLA!!!! That spot (where the cable connector boxes are) is a jumping/launch pad for her to the upper window sills. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Seems that all that jumping was enough just to loosen it a little, just a microscopic itsy bitsy tiny little... OMG. Never ever a dull moment here with Lola.... love ya little one. cat_pet_icon
Last night Bug and Lola decided to have a mini whack-a-thon. But.... there was a barrier between them: my wood slat binds! :shock: clankity clankity clank, over and over again. Elsa just looked at them, then to me, and back again. She finally gave them her backside and went to bed. Smart girl! :lol:

Enjoy your day everyone! it will be catch up day here for me: errands laundry shopping. FUN! not.... I will hope to be able to get out on a shore walks later today. :-D I will also have Nicholas and William late in the afternoon through the evening, so that Jason and Erin can go to Jason's HS reunion. WOOT! This should prove interesting. I hope maybe to get them out for a walk. We shall see. :-D

KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!!

Hi Michelle

Looks like Nicholas had a wonderful day with Thomas :-D I think I would also need an adult beverage or two after being surrounded by so many little ones for that long. :lol: But so worth it for the looks on his face. William is just adorable, and you can see how much bigger he has grown.

So Lola knows how to knock out the cable, phone and internet. Hmmmm, you have your hands full with her :lol: :lol:

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Morning Michelle, great pic of all three events yesterday. Thomas the train looked like so much fun for the kids and i can imagine so many kids and the need to recover last night. I hope you got your couple brews and a pizza. :lol: Nicholas sure played himself out with his head sideways there with Near baby. That will be a lot of fun today with both Nicholas and William. Nicholas I'm sure will be the little helper.
Elsa, thank you for my Breves and 10 Hour coffee today.
Oh my, with the phone system plug ajar. Was that Lola? :lol: I have had similar problems here when I had two kitties. It seems one of them liked to be underneath my desk with all the wires.
Have a great time today with your two DGS's and hope you get a shore walk in earlier.

PS Adorable pics of little William. Cute kitty there, too.

Morning Ann ~O) ~O) ~O) THX on the pics. :-D It was alot of fun for all of those kids. So many happy faces! Nicholas was so thrilled with the train ride. I will have to see how I can get something like that in the works for him later on. and yes: i DID: brew and pizza!! YUM! I think so too on today - it will be good, I hope to be able maybe to take them both out for a walk. Nicholas will love it, hope William will be "in the mood" ;-) -- yes on the phone system! Lola I am sure. She jumps from the spot where the boxes for the computer stuff is, just enough I guess to loosen things up a bit. :roll: THX on the William pics. The kitty is Puma, one of Nicholas;s kitties at home.
Auntie Ann! You is welcome! You need more? ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

I know it wasn't fun to have everything go out for 5 hours, but I can't help but laugh it was because of Lola. :lol: That's so funny on the whack-a-thon with the blinds in the middle.

It looks like Nicholas had a great time at the trains yesterday. I hope you have a good time with Nicholas and William today.

HI Carla - hey, it's OK. I am laughing now too! Darn cat! I watched her in here today and yupp. sure enough,. she uses that box as her spring board to the window sills.... it is way too funny. :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: oh yes on the whack-a-thon. I am laughing at that now too! THX on yesterday, and today. We had a good time with the trains, and I hope for the same today. Hanging out with grammie. SWEET!
