Good Morning LL!!! 
(Elsa: best make the quad shots today.... one sleepy bean!), and Happy Furday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! GUESS WHAT! today is TPIF Day! YUPP! Thank Pizza It's Friday! Lola and Bug love Friday's so they decided that since it is TPIF day that anyone can have any kind of pizza they wants - anythings!!! So get your orders in early! They say this is the way Furday's should be! I am exited too that it's Furday - so... I will make my Coffee Cat special of the day! FRAPPE FRIDAY! YUM!!!! Anything you want - just let me know. OOOOOO this will be such a good day. I am so glad that I found Mannie's frappe recipes last month. They were in the the treehouse. He kept everything in the treehouse.... DUH! so. well. anyways. Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and triple shot Cappuccinos with extra foam, made from beans from High in the mountains of Jamaica. And for all my mocha fans: a Venti quad dutch apple infused white mocha, with caramel whip, garnished with caramelized apple clusters, white chocolate shavings and a caramel drizzle...... SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of apple and vanilla and chocolate and caramel swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, sprinkled with crystallized apple nits and a chocolate caramel drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are along for the ride.
WOO HOO!!!! IT ISFRIDAY FURDAY! 
I hope everyone had a great day yesterday. We did well here, it was a family day, and I think we all enjoyed the time spent. It is always so nice to see William, and see how much he has grown and developed. What a treat. It is also hard to believe that he will be three months old in a week or so. Where did the time go? Deception Pass was great! I am glad that Erin asked to go there. It was a nice drive up there, 1.5 hours, so we were able to talk about some of the upcoming day care issues involved with caring for both boys. YAY! We got alot resolved, with lots of doable solutions. Another YAY! Here's what I wrote in last nights post about the day: " HI everyone! I hope your day has been a good one. All of us, Nicholas, William, Erin and myself had a great day. We did make Deception Pass - what a ton of fun! Deception Pass was great. We had good weather too, sun for the most part, no winds, no wet, no issues. We started out at West Beach, roamed there, let Nicholas play in the "swimming hole" that is there, did a little of the trail that heads south. The rest of the time was sent on North Beach. Little guy had fun doing little guy things. We are into throwing "boulders" these days, little rocks will no longer do. :shock: :lol: :lol: They need to be at least 4-5" in diameter. Amazing that he can throw those big ones as far as he can. 
To funny. :lol: Latest adventure is log walking. :shock: He does pretty good for a 2yr old. :razz: He loves to jump off the ends, but won't do it without a helping hand. silly kid, but whatever works. We also made some time to walk across the Bridge at Deception Pass. it is an incredible bridge, spans the NW Passage. It is rather high up 
:shock: and narrow :shock: and busy with cars :shock: , but.... WOW! The views from there are outstanding. William did great too, not too much fuss from him. It is amazing though how much time he really does take, between the diaper changes and the feeds. One tends to forget those things as they grow. I will be glad when we are down to just breakfast, lunch and dinner. :roll: :lol: All in all a great day, we did what we could for exploration, before the almighty clock said time to go so Erin could make the connection and time she needed to pick up Jason. Little guy had a good day. As he's getting into his car he turns and says "we swim tomorrow, yes?" Yupp, that we will little guy, that we will. How can I not make that aspect of his life work for him? " Deception Pass
Normalcy in MusketeerVille. and...................... CCCCCC-RASH! I heard alot of that in the early evening. :evil: LOLA!!!!! we knocked over two vases, three phones and their charging stations, one glass with water that held a plant I was rooting (well this is about the 4th time she's done that one), a few books, the tuna can off the counter (it was unopened - how did she know?), the snack jar, the bag of chips, AND the box with the cat fuds in it.... She was very busy, Of course Bug was helping, and then was stating his complete innocence. Elsa, per the norm, left when the fun started, not wanting to have a thing to do with their craziness. Smart kitty! Never ever a dull moment here. all I can say is..... GO LOLA!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Elsa Labs: I finally heard back from the vet on Elsa's labs. All is well. She could be at the very earl stage of kidney disease, but... levels are within range, just the BUN was elevated, a little. For a 17 year old kitty, I'm not at all surprised to hear this. The x-rays, which eh vet said indicated there was something in/near one the the nodules (right word?) in her right lung. The radiological that read the film said there was nothing of major concern, that there several things that could have caused this, primarily asthma, a few others. Since Elsa does not have any outward sign of bronchial problem, or asthma, we will reevaluate in 4 months, with another film, to see if there is any change. All the rest came back in great shape: BP was good, remaining labs, and UA was good. She may need a dental, but we will cross that bridge in a few months. I am leery of putting a 17 year old under anesthesia to clean her teeth, There are no noticeable bad spots in her mouth, just a lot of tartar. so.... all in all ELSA PASSED VETTY! YAY!!!!
Have a great day everyone. I am back on DGS duty today. it will be a swim day for Nicholas, and then whatever else looks good to him. More berries? Maybe ! We should have decent weather, at least there are no rains predicted. YAY! I will try and get to condos when I can.
KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!!
