Little k,
I'll have a nice cocoa with marshmallow on the top please, the waters freezing in the Atlantic. I have to swim back this afternoon for my supper before work tomorrow. I have been on vacation this week with the odd day out and feel refreshed for the work ahead.
Glad to see Lola is feeling better and in LOVE.
"Springy weather is finally becoming more of the norm. Saw a little green shoot in the yard the other day. Hope springs eternal, pardon the pun. Wassau, cocoas for everyone!"
Stopping by the cafe on her way to work, Lola sits down for a quick lunch and coffee.
"Hey, Wassau," calls Lola.
But no one appears from the kitchen. The cafe is oddly empty and Lola wonders why.
Cheshire sits silently in the corner of the kitchen, his mouth watering for a bite of the little mouse he has trapped between him and the wall.
He notices Wassau, Sal and Prissy, all looking at him in shock and dismay. He hears Lola calling from the front. He smiles.............
And then Maxine the mouse speaks up, "OK, Cheshire, you've got me, now what are you going to do with me?"
As Cheshire contemplates his next action, he hears someone quickly approaching from behind and suddenly the lights go off......
MEOW!!!!! Betty and Bob, get your flippers away from my eyes!!
Cheshire, very upset by the rude intrusion of Betty and Bob, especially because their flippers were still wet from the pool, delicately licks his fur dry and tries to compose himself, looking nonchalant and aloof.
Maxine is heard squeeking her funny little laugh at the embarrassment of the haughty Cheshire. Hee, hee, hee squeak, hic, hee.
Sal and Prissy try hard not to laugh at Cheshire's discomfiture as he strolls into the front room to see what Lola wants.
Lola, just back from shopping at a ritzy pet shop, has a diamond collar and gourmet cat food all for Cheshire. He looks astounded, pleased and a little confused--doesn't she know that I prefer emeralds? They accent my eyes so well.
Cheshire takes his diamond collar and slinks off into his corner to sleep for a while on his satan cushion.
"Betty and Bob will pay for that," he mumbles as he falls off into dreamland.
Can´t help thinking about this cool satan cushion.Is it evil or just bad-ass?
It's bad ass and evil, plus it's all silky too, Hebba. So much for the slip of the keyboard. I'm always giving myself away. Fortunately, in this case, it's no secret.
Why is it that this forum title has a familiar ring to it?
c.i.
Welcome c.i., sit down and have a cup of coffee with some cognac. Sit on the couch by the fire, but your feet up and relax. Anybody want some good music?
Cafe 101
Stradee waves to seal pups and thanks Wassau for power lunch <Stradee on the move again> prepares for a busy work day~
Oh good, there's c.i. ~ "c.i., news from Colorado"! Seems the Air Force Academy replaced the four top ranking officers of the school. All women"
Thought ya might be interested in the outcome of the investigation.
Stradee,
Were the officers replaced by women, or were the officer being replaced all women?
according to the news here in colorado 4 ranking officers stepped down and the replacements include 2 women.
Sad memories with the discussion of the Air Force Academy. I dated a freshman during a summer I spent with my grandparents in Colorado Springs. He later died of leudemia.
Wassau, champagne please and could someone put on Peggy Lee's, Is That All There Is?
Here's to your lost love, Diane. Bottoms up.
Thanks Lola. That was a loooong time ago, when the Air Force Academy first opened.
we all seem to have strange memories, i was a member of the child protection team in Colorado Springs and had one of the most bizarre child abuse cases at the Air Force Academy.
well jeeze it was a really strange case, a high ranking officer. I ended up filing "emotional abuse"- the academy tried to keep it out of local courts but to no avail.
