Good Morning LL!! 
(Elsa - lots (!!) please! This bean is so sleepy...), and Happy Monday everyone!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! GUESS WHAT! Today is CHEERY CHERRY MONDAY!! Lola and Bug want to make their cheery cherry pizza pies. It is after all Monday, and that is now tradition! I have to admit that they are pretty good! They finally learned to keep the cheery cherry whip on the pies, and stop squirting it all over the kitchen. They are no longer pink!... not like last week, and the week before, and the week before that. :roll: :roll: I tolds them that LL kitties do not like PINK. so. well. anyways. Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and Double shot espressos, with beans from deep within the mountain slopes of Africa, AND.... for all my Mocha fans: a VENTI Quad cherry infused white mocha/mocha blend with white chocolate chips melted within, topped with a cherry whip garnished with candied cherry sprinkles and white chocolate curls. SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of cheery cherry and chocolate swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, topped with crystallized cheery cherries and chocolate drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are along for the ride!AND!!!! We gots an extra special treat for today: CHEERY CHERRY CHEESECAKE! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! I love cheery cherry Mondays. 
I hope everyone had a great weekend, and a good Sunday yesterday. I did go hiking, to MT Rainier, to a hike that I had not done before. It proved to be wroth the 2.5 - 3 hours that it took to drive there. :shock: :roll: I think too that it would be a very good on for Nicholas and his family. I will have to make sure that they give it a try. There is all in all, not too much elevation gain, some lakes for Nicholas, and some very nice views of t Rainer. Here' is what I posted last night about the hike/day: "Hi everyone. I hope your Sunday has been a good one. I went hiking today at Mt Rainier. it seemed to have the best weather, with no clouds indicated on TWC. So.... took a chance and headed there. I was a little "oh NO!" when I got to the Enumclaw area and it was cloudy. :shock: Sure was nice to see that after another 45 miles the skies were blue, the sun was out, and not one cloud on Mt Rainier. Rainier is known for its "cloud cap". Often one can only see a part of the mountain as the rest is under a cloud cover. not today! WOOT! So ............ today's weather seemed to dictate a trip to Mt Rainier. That, and the fact that SR 20 and Cascade Pass Road are still closed. So..... Off to Rainier and the Naches Peak Loop Trail. I chose this hike only because I had never done it before, have heard it was outstanding, and worth the drive. AND: IT WAS! I'd go back again, no doubt. The views and the small lakes found there were just exceptional. On the way home from Naches Peak I decided to stop in at the White River CG, and see the Emmons Glacier, via The Emmons Moraine Trail. WOW!,and AMAZING!,and AWESOME! It sure was worth the stop. Seeing those glaciers in action is such a treat. I think I did about 8 miles today, maybe climbed 1500 feet all totaled. Not too bad.... ;-)" Picassa links: Naches Peak Loop Trail, Tipsoo Lakes and Emmons Moraine and Glacier
Normalcy in MusketeerVille!! The welcoming committed came through for me again yesterday. I so love that: to be greeted when I get home. Only Bug was on the steps, but the minute I closed the door Lola and Elsa made the mad dash to say "Hey! Mom's home!!" I asked the two late arrivals if I need to get a blood oath, addressing tardiness, from them if they be late to meet me? They said NO WAY, that only applied to Human tardiness, never kitteh tardiness. hmmmmm.... I dunno about that. It seems that they were good kitties while I was gone. Elsa enjoyed the day outside, and is all recovered from her vetty ordeal. Bug seems to have spent the day surveying the yard from his perch on the window sill. Lola seems to have slept the day away. :lol: :lol: I did come home to NO MESSES! :razz: :razz: :razz: however..... I went to shower and remove trail dirt and when done found: one box with it's side chewed off, one Kleenex box with several tissue removed and shredded, and one uprooted rooting plant that was in a glass of water trying to grow. LOLA!!!!! Plus, while I was in the shower she spent some of that time pounding on the door, rapidly, with her front paws. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I so love that kitty! never ever a dull moment with Lola.
Have a great day everyone. I hope to hike again today, we shall see how I feel about that in a few hours, and also on how the weather is shaping up. They keep saying sun, but well, who knows here.I will hopefully be out the door once I post this. Paws crossed anyways. I hope to be off to the Mt Baker area today I think to the hike at Park Butte that I had to abort a few weeks ago. we shall see..... ;-)
KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!!
