Good Morning LL! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (YUM! I Love coffee!), and Happy Sunday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! Lola and Bug have finally come to realize that they cannot sleep in on a Caturday - way too many Paw Prints Pizza orders to do yesterday. There was the OTJ party, and Maui's party and just WOW, LL orders coming in right and left. They may need to hire help! I had to shove them out of bed this morning - we have another OTJ kitty! COOL! 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 and caramel swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, and a chocolate caramel drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are along for the ride.

I hope everyone had a great Caturday. Mine was catch up day, and I did get alot done. My to do pile has shrunk substantially! YAY! I spent sometime compiling some SS's for pool stuff for Nicholas, so we can figure out how I will juggle two boys and a pool schedule when I really need to be one on one with Nicholas. This is going to be a challenge! I also managed a couple of short walk/hikes too, all local stuff. We had rain in the morning, first time in several days. By afternoon the sun was out, and it turned our to e a very nice afternoon. I think we reached 80, with sunny blues skies, and a very nice sunset. Here are some photos that I took while out and about: More Meadowdale.

The kitties have been good kitties today, just very playful. We didn't have any dirt piles, or torn papers, just a TON of scattered toys. :lol: :lol: Lola somehow managed to get a hold of a plastic tub that had at one time some cooked chicken cubes in it and was running around the house with it in her mouth, trying to figure out where the chicken was,. She could smell it, but... NO CHICKEN! So to relieve her of her misery I went to get it from her, but NOPE! She clenched her teeth on that thing and would not let go. :roll: :roll: :roll: I even got a few very low level growls. :roll: :roll: :lol: Her catch, and BACK OFF BEAN! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: That was just to funny! I did eventually prevail. I had a chicken ceasar salad for dinner last night, and Bug decided that he was entitled to the chicken that was in my salad. It was such a Mannie moment, as he did that all the time: sit right next to me, paw on the leg, THAT look, and a few very soft meow's, and would bite into and take the piece in his mouth. Bug did the exact same thing last night. What a trip down memory lane. Thanks Mannie for teaching him how. Elsa has been good too. I finally made her vetty appt for her SR Wellness exam. She goes in next Saturday. :-D She had a good day yesterday - sunning herself out in the yard, in between naps. :cool:

Have a great day everyone. I hope to hike today, we shall see how I feel about that in a few hours, and also on how the weather is shaping up. We had morning rains yesterday, are due for a few today too, so.... I need to wait some and see how things develop this morning,. They keep saying sun, but well, who knows here. There are also a couple I am very anxious to do, but the temps there are on the 90's, and almost too hot. I may wait until we are into fall before doing those. maybe.... ;-)

KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!!

Hey Elsa, It's a good thing those pizza kids have you to get their day started! There's soooo much to do today. Can't wait to start the party for Lucky! See you in a sec. ollie

hi Michelle, Congrats on your to do pile. It's sooo much easier to put off a small pile than a large one. :-D :-D :-D I hope your weather shapes up for your hike!
Lola and her plastic tub!! :lol: :lol: :lol: She is a real stitch. AWWWWWWW about Bug and sharing your dinner. It's another sign from Mannie. Magic Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xoxo mary and ollie
 


Hey Lil Bit Pit - Whadda ya mean those little uns went back to bed! Don't they realize that my party isn't over it! It's a 2 day fiesta and they better get outta bed and start making more pizzas. We gots lots of hungry kittehs and need to fill em up.

Otherwise they may have to walk the plank! Ooooh and maybe Jake & Dylan will let them play in the kitten zone with them when they finish working and walking the plank of course. We need someone to do that. Since today we have a special game to play - Balloon Pirates!

And I pick Lil Bit for my team! Hurry over to my place ok! Check out today's fun!

Signed Maui the Magnificent, Chief Pirate!
 
That's so funny on Lola and the plastic tub. :lol: Yesterday Furball was trying to open an empty pizza box. :lol: I don't know what she smelled that tempted her. That's so cute Bug wanted to share your dinner with you.

I love those pictures with the insects on the flowers. That's so neat you captured them.
 
Hi Michelle. Hope you have an enjoyable hike today. Sounds like you managed to put a pretty large dent in your to-do list yesterday. That's quite an accomplishment :lol: . Got a chuckle when I read that you were putting a SS together for Nicholas and his pool time. You will have your hands full with both of them but it will be fun.

Have a great day Michelle.
 
Morning Michelle, I had to come and get my Lola and Bug fix and also Lil Elsa Bit's coffee for today. Ahh Elsa, always a treat with the 10 Hour Energy coffee and love the Triple Espressos today. I agree with John, sounds like you made a big dent in the "to do" list. I had a feeling you might take a hike to Meadowdale, always pretty pics. I was wondering when you start watching both Nicholas amd William. I'm sure you will juggle everything fine. Too funny on the chicken tub with Lola. :-D
Have a great day, Michelle, and hope it works out for a hike.
 
Thank You for the Paw Prints Pizza they were a big hit with these Surfing kitz here, hope the fog wasn't a problem for you kinda makes the fur stand up, we call it liquid sunshine here it's a real moisturizer :lol: I think we all had a good time but I don't know who is flying the jet home :lol:
 
Hi everyone! FINALLY home! Hike was great, the traffic was not... omg! well,a t least I was ON TIME,a nd the kitties did not have to threaten me with that blood oath I signed (no tardiness allowed - EVER!), though they did have it ready. :lol: :lol: Hike was good today. I was glad I did not attempt the mountain/ridge ones. It was very wet on the trails up there, would have been an issue, and the fog never did break, so wouldn't have been able to see anything anyways, so good deal it was the river. I liked that hike, it is a very easy one, but the river was really nice. Loved Sulphide Creek at trails end. I read that if it is cross-able there are a few more miles that can be spent next to the Baker River. Not today - that creek was really fast, deep, and I would imagine damn cold... SO we sat there for a bit instead before hiking out. Munched on munchies at the trail head, down on the Baker River. That was really nice. It is about the best spot to access the river from. anyways.... enjoyed it, had a great time. I logged about 8 miles, with minimal effort. Sure were ALOT of folks out camping... trail was deserted though. I think we made maybe 75 here today, sun finally broke at home, but more rains are eminent, t-storms predicted for tonight, sun then tomorrow. I'm glad I left Baker when I did: downpour going on there as I type, t-storms there too. wow, our weather has changed! I will post the Picassa link to the photos and videos in tomorrow Loose Lips.

Hi Linda - Awesome on the Pizzas! Lola and Bug are here to serve, plus they LOVE pizza! Hike was great, fog made it rather [errtym atmospheric. Trails sure were wet though. oh oh on the jet.... scary! :shock: :lol:

Hi Ann - LOL on the to do list but yes I did. It sure felt good. Yes on Meadowdale - it is my back up place to go, and my hike when I am not out on the road going to somewhere specific. it's a great place. I start with William and Nicholas together on 9/11. I think that is the official start date, so a month away. I to am sure it will all work out, only area of concern is the pool,a s right now I can't have them both in there at the same time, as Nicholas takes two hands.. it will all work out. I thought so too on Lola and that tub of chicken, it was a great laugh! and yes on the hike - it did workout OK.

Hi john- THX hike was good, I really did enjoy it, even if the weather wasn't the best, No rains wile I was there, so all is good. LOL on the to do list, I was determined! :lol: :lol: Too funny on the SS for the boys huh, I had to laugh too, but that swim stuff is so complex! Sheshhhhh!!!! I agree: BUSY times with them both, but ever so much fun!

Hi Carla - I so agree on that tub of chicken. I really laughed at her antics -she was so focused! Too funny on Furball and the pizza box, Bug tried that once too. I thought so too on Bug and my dinner, it was kinda cool, and very Mannie-ish, THX on the pics! I love it when I can get them with the insects.

Maui! I SO KNOW!! And got those too moving once again. silly kitties!! oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Walk the plank! that is cool! they will just swim. Lola LOVES the water. Bug to. OK - onto your place, I gots to check this out! ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT PIT. Pirate in training....

Hi Mary - LOL, and love the photo. hey - THX on my to do pile. it's down,for now... I wonder how long that will last. :lol: :roll: I sooooooooooooooo agree on the small vs the large. YUPP! Hike was good,weather was so so, but I did escape the monster rains and t-storms, guess they started soon after I left. PHEW! THX too on Bug and my dinner. That is what I thought: very Mannie, very magical. it was great.
Ollie - i know.... those kitties! what would they do without me? Youngin's! I am so ready to party! See ya there! ~~ Elsa
Auntie mary - yupp, never ever any worries, I gots you covered! ~~ lsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista
 
Hi Michelle,

I'm so glad that you got in a good hike today and that you didn't get caught in the thunderstorms. The trails here have been muddy and wet all summer, with water running over the rocks--actually many of the trails resemble rocky streams! Looking forward to seeing your photos tomorrow--I like dramatic foggy shots.

Congrats on getting so many chores accomplished! :lol: I can imagine that you will have to make up schedules for Nicholas and William. When can Nicholas begin swim lessons? That might help a lot.

The kitties look great. So neat that Bug does so many of the things that Mannie did. That is another sign from Mannie, who is watching over the household. Wonderful story about Lola and the chicken tub!!

Elsa, you are so good about getting out the coffee orders even in all the chaos of simultaneous parties. Rusty is grateful that you were able to help out and that you got the young'uns up and about to get those pizzas started.

Have a fine evening,

Hugs, scritches,

Ella & Rusty
 
Hi Ella - me too on the weather yesterday - I got lucky! It was a very nice hike though. oh wow on your trails,and the water! Yesterday was a little sloppy, but over all not too bad. We have been so dry this summer, unusual for us. -- oh yes on the schedules for Nicholas and William. I wish I had a crystal ball that would help me figure it all out. It will be busy! Nicholas can begin swim lessons on 1/1 of next year. I and his mom need to think on that some too. -- I think so too n Bug - it is another sigh from Mannie. THX on Lola, she is quite the cat.
Auntie Ella! THX! I am having such funs! Lola and Bug are getting better, ya know they is just babies. I love helping with the OTJ parties, they are mega fun! ~~Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

Hi Rhiannon - thanks for the visit! It was a good one. I enjoyed it. Oh yeah o Lola, quite the character!
