The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

Periwinkle was so excited about today's Adventure.  She and Stinky planned it out together after their last Adventure and she knew it would be purrfect! This time, she and Stinky are teleporting from their own homes. Both stepped into their own Teleportations in anticipation of their Catskills adventure.

With a little shake of the Tunnel and a WOOSH, Periwinkle suddenly appeared at their meeting spot.

 And then…Stinky arrived! For just a moment, they stared at each other in delighted surprise. Then there was no holding back!  They spent time whisker-kissing and paw patting, and then Stinky looked up.  "Um, Periwinkle, there's a crowd watching us!"  Periwinkle was surprised, but the crowd assured them they were just thrilled to see the famous Periwinkle and Stinky return.  The tabbies explained that their followers agreed that they should come see some more of the wonderful kitties!  

Both tabbies decided they needed to get their map out.  No sooner did they say that than they walked by Cat Mapping.  They giggled and headed out to see the other kitties.

They decided to start with some of the numbers their pals requested.  The Trout Talking Tabbies suggested quite a few.  First was #13...There Was An Old Feline...

Next came #18, which was Emergence...

 Cats Reds Whites and Blues was another favorite...

Suddenly, as he often does, Stinky ran off.  Periwinkle rolled her eyes and wondered what trouble he would get into this time.  She laughed when she saw where he was...

He said, "You thought I was going to do something naughty, didn't you?  I just figured I would help Harold the Vegetable Harvester."  Periwinkle apologized, and he took her paw as they continued their walk.

They stopped to see Jabari and agreed he was a handsome ginger tabby and hoped he got to celebrate Ginger Cat Day!

 Lady Lupine was another favorite.  Periwinkle said she thought Lady Lupine was gorgeous; Stinky agreed but said Periwinkle was much prettier!!  Periwinkle squeezed his paw and thanked him.

Walking along, they spotted Emerald Cat...

 and World Traveler...

Of course, Santa Claws was a big hit.  It was also a reminder that Santa is always watching and you should behave.  Periwinkle hoped Stinky remembered that!

As they approached Snacky Cat, Periwinkle and Stinky looked at each other. Their tummies were rumbling, and they both knew it was definitely time for a snack! 

"Hey, look, there's Lobster Cat, and he's right in front of a seafood restaurant.  Let's go get something to eat," said Stinky.  Periwinkle thought that was a great idea!

They were quickly seated, and the staff all came out to meet them.  They prepared a special plate of Fancy Feast and some Temptations for the two to enjoy.

While they were eating, Stinky, looking a bit embarrassed, pulled out a card.  "I feel awful that I missed your birthday.  I know we celebrated Noelle's, but we didn't do anything special for you.  Please accept my apology and this card.

Periwinkle thanked him and gave him a big hug and a whisker kiss.  "I knew you wouldn't forget me, and you were super sweet to bring me a card today.  It's nice that we get to celebrate together."  Stinky was happy she wasn't mad at him, and the two enjoyed their meal while chatting and holding paws.

They said goodbye to the staff and promised to stop by next year.  They passed Vacation Wonderland and agreed that the Catskills had a lot to offer.

It was getting late, and it was almost time for them to Teleport to their homes.  They took a quick stop at the Gift Shop to buy souvenir mugs for their moms.

A few more whisker kisses and paw pats, a few more "I love yous," and they were on their way.  The crowd waved goodbye as they entered the Teleportation Tunnel and,  with a WOOSH, they each headed home.

Monday Sparks

 Even though McGuffy's reader is taking a break, we are continuing our Monday Sparks posts!  From the original Sparks posts:

Welcome to Sparks. Many years ago, it was my intent to post an inspirational thought each Monday. It would be my weekly meditation, and perhaps feed other people's spirit as well. Life got busy, and this fell by the wayside. Now, I feel a strong need to bring this feature back. 

The negative energy in the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dark, negative storm. There is an obvious universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can all be part of this affirmative change. 
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!
I hope you will join us. Please link up a positive quote, thought, poem, or verse. The badge and code can be found in my sidebar. Add the badge to your post to invite others. The more, the merrier. I welcome your thoughts. Peace.

Today's photo prompt is

The Gondola Ride

A floating dream in Venice,

A grand romantic trip,

Until the gentle rocking

Snoozed the entire ship!

The gondolier just grins and rows,

Enjoying quiet, peaceful views,

While both his sleepy passengers

Enjoy an expensive snooze.

Mom says this is why they say not to wait till you're too old to enjoy traveling!
