Welcome to my weekly smile post and I have a lot to smile about these days. I wanted to share that I went and visited my daughter this last weekend and enjoyed some much needed mother/daughter time together. I have been wanting to go see my daughter and her kitty that she adopted at the beginning of this year. I finally got to meet Evie and I have to say she is the most friendly, lovable kitty that I have met in awhile! She walked right up to me like we have met before and meowed, so adorable!
As I visited throughout the weekend there were many times she sat with me or laid on me as we watched some TV. Haha, my daughter was getting a little jealous I think! BUT that’s exactly why we love these animals so much, right? She found the perfect kitty, so snuggly, warm, gregarious, fun to play with and is into everything but in a good way. She finds the silliest things to play with, such a cute kitty! Here is a few photos of Evie! She makes me smile! π
While visiting my daughter she took me out to dinner for Mother’s day which is this coming weekend so we celebrated early. We made reservations and arrived at Ada’s Fish House in Pismo Beach. We got there a little early and walked to the pier. It was a bit chilly with the wind coming off the ocean. It was a great evening and the food was delicious!
I so enjoyed my time with my daughter. It is so wonderful to be together and connect and enjoy each others company. One of the things we like to do together is color in our adult coloring books! Haha, I know it may sound silly but they are a great stress reliever and another fun thing to do is to shop for… try and guess? more adult coloring books! AND colored pencils and crayons which I have plenty of so I bought some colored pencils!
The next day we got up and decided to eat breakfast in Solvang. We had breakfast at Brekkie’s restaurant! I took a photo of their coffee mug which I will be sharing on my next coffee share. We forgot to take breakfast food photos, it was really good. And then we shopped a bit and if you had to guess, we went to a book store and I bought a Swedish book that is really inspiring on how the Swedes live and their philosophy of life and I couldn’t help myself, more coloring books. Haha, this one is all horses! I couldn’t resist and when I finish my first page I’ll share a photo! SMILING!
Sending HUGS AND LOVE to my daughter!! I had a great time and I know it meant a lot that we got to spend this time together. We will do it again soon!
Wrapping up my smiles for this week is being able to see this view! I love the view between my horses ears! My bestie girlfriend and I had super fun trail rides. It is warming up but we ride in the mornings so we aren’t melting. Haha, it’s not that hot yet and I didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole talking about the weather. We are so lucky to have the nice weather that we do, so no complaining from me today!
Thank you so much for visiting and I thank you Trent for hosting all the smile posts and if you want to visit more click here!

Glad you had some time with your daughter and new grand-kitty! I’m sure a horse themed adult coloring book was the best thing in the entire book store π Evie is cute.

ooohhhh kitty is so cute, the little white hairs look like she’s dribbled a little milk, love that you were warmly greeted & loved, the whole time. lol. How awesome Evie allowed you to spend such a wonderful time with your daughter. The food looks delicious & the flowers so pretty to start with.
Colouring in is the best funnerer ever, I have a all horse colouring in book as well, it is in my art room at the moment I haven’t had time to get to it, love to see a photo of your colouring in I’m sure it will be worthy of a gold star. I love the simplicity of Swedish living especially their rural life style.
You & your bestie out on the ponies such a happy place, Roscoe looks like he’s settled in beautifully. Have a funnest of fun weekends, pony friend

Thank you so much my pony sister from across the pond!! π΄β€οΈ I now have a few adult colouring books, but of course my favorite is this horsey one I found. The artwork is so very cool, I’ll share for sure!!
I’m so delighted to share and I’m so happy you enjoyed my beautiful flowers, Evie Kitty and the horse trail rides! My daughter took a selfie of us on her phone and I forgot to have her send it to me, as I would have shared!

Oh New Adventures with Roscoe and Chloeπ₯
The food looks amazing and Evie the cat looks scary… Where I come from some superstitious folk have a tad aversion to black cats π€£π€£π€£

Thank you kindly B ~ it’s so fun to be out on the trail. The food was so delicious, so happy to be able to eat out again, the tables were very far apart and they had outside seating.
It’s a problem here in the states as well as far as superstition and black cats. There’s often an over abundance of them in shelters, kinda sad but true. My daughter’s black Kitty reminds us of Toothless in “How to Train a Dragon”. Her expressions, her green eyes are the same. I think they took some Kitty expressions when developing that dragon! π€£π€£π€£πββ¬πββ¬πββ¬
I’m so happy she found this Kitty as she’s super friendly, not skittish and very snuggly. Lol – some cats are so indifferent, and if too scared they spend all their time hiding! Lol π have a great weekend! β€οΈ
