Happy Caturday!😻............. NW Cascade Wanderings

Happy Caturday everybody! 😻

Today was the day! I was going to brave venturing out into the masses and try to begin my Christmas shopping! I was hoping perhaps everyone had gotten the beginning of the Christmas shopping season out of their systems. My first stop was a locally owned business called Connections, which is a Christian book store, but with so much more! I was looking for a Bible for our daughter who had requested one. I found the perfect one and left it to be personalized. I told them I’d be back in the afternoon to pick it up.

I headed to Starbucks for some morning brew as our espresso machine was on its last leg. I can remember around 2000, I purchased a Mr. Coffee 15 bar pump machine that lasted 8 years! It was only $50! Nowadays, they’re almost twice as much or more and I’m lucky if we get a year out of them. 😏 I found a leftover Black Friday espresso machine while out and purchased that. We’ll see how long this one makes it. I’ll grant you that at least 4-6 espresso drinks per day are made in our household but seriously, is there some magic number where after so many, they automatically break?

I had quite a few stops to make and one of them was the local mall. They are definitely decked out for Christmas!

That’s a picture of Santa’s headquarters in the mall.

As I was shopping, I always buy gifts for the ‘grand dog and grand kitties’. Phoenix so loved her turkey we got her back in September. I can hear her playing with it when we’re on the phone with Bill. It has a definitive sound. So today, I looked for another doggie toy of the same brand and found…….

…..the chicken! Now she’ll have two types of fowl to play with! I hope she like the chicken as much as she likes the turkey!

I found catnip mice and a tri-blend of catnip for Ember and Banjo. I’m sure they’ll love that! 😻

The afternoon rounded out heading back to the bookstore to pick up the Bible and then another run through Starbucks for afternoon refueling and to take one home to @silvertop, as he was banned from going today. 🎅🎁🎄

Here’s a few ‘shroom eye candies to enjoy!

Of course, no Caturday post is complete with kitty pics!

That’s gonna be it for now. Take care and have a blessed Sunday! 🙏🌎🙏

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
