The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

Periwinkle paced in front of the Teleportation Tunnel as she waited for the arrival of her fiancé, Stinky.  She knew they had a busy day planned and a very special message to share.  Soon, the Tunnel began to shake and, with a WOOSH, out popped Stinky right into her waiting paws.  They whisker kissed, paw patted, and spent some time talking about the fun they had over the weekend.  Yes, Stinky came by for a quick visit so they could go to the 2025 Founder's Day in Periwinkle's hometown of Satellite Beach.

Since parking was a problem this year, the tabbies decided to walk to the event.  Paw in paw, they headed to where Founder's Day was being held. 

They were greeted by many who remembered them from the previous year.

Word about their arrival spread quickly...

The tabbies walked around for a bit, checking out the vendors.  This one caught their eye, 2craftycats

There were many vendors and Periwinkle stopped to look at one when she realized Stinky was not at her side.  She quickly scanned the room and, not surprisingly, found him up high on one of the basketball nets!  Rolling her eyes she said, "STINKY!  PLEASE get down now!" 

Stinky quickly got down and apologized.  They realized it was time for the parade so they walked outside.  They were surprised when, once again, they were asked to be judges.  They quickly accepted and took their spots at the judging table.

No sooner did they sit down than the parade started.

When the parade was over, they stopped at their favorite food truck for a snack.

Since it was getting late, they headed back to Periwinkle's house.  They visited with a sweet woofie named Coco before they left.

Stinky hopped into the Teleportation Tunnel and went home, knowing he would be back for their Tuesday Adventure, which is where we are now.

After they spent time talking about the weekend, Stinky asked what the plan was for their Adventure.  Periwinkle said, "This is a special day in the Blogosphere.  It's #Blogblast4Peace."

 

 Stinky agreed that it is a yearly event that is very impawtent.  "Did you know that this is the 20th year for #Blogblast4Peace?" he asked.  Periwinkle said she did and quoted Mimi Lenox's blog:

"November 4, 2025 bloggers and social media posters from all over the world will blog for peace. We will speak with one voice, one subject, one day

We've been speaking peace for 20 years. It's a beautiful thing.

And now for a special 20th anniversary challenge!

It's called the Blog4Peace SPEAK LOVE challenge and will run from today until the eve of Blog4Peace. Since our 2025 theme is SPEAK LOVE, I've committed to doing one small (or large) thing each day to experience what it means to walk in love. I invite you to do the same! Please share on your blogs and social media if you'd like to participate during the days leading up to November 4th (not a requirement, just lovingly suggested) Are you intentionally doing the love walk with your families, yourselves, your communities, OUR WORLD? I'm going to give it my best this month.

There can be no peace without love.

I want to be intentional. I want to make a positive difference, even in the smallest of ways, to as many as I can, as often as I can."

The tabbies decided to make their own Peace Globe.  Periwinkle's Mom let them use her computer.  They looked for a good quote and came up with one they both liked.

 Since Periwinkle and Stinky were making their globes, Noelle and Reesie decided to make one too.

After making their globes, they decided to have a snack on the back deck since the weather was so nice.  Periwinkle wanted to know how the "interlopers," also known as kittens, were doing at his house.  He said they were doing well.  He asked her if her Mom was thinking of getting her a little brother.  She replied that her Mom really wanted to, but didn't want to upset the balance of their family.  Stinky nodded in agreement and said, "I understand. I am not sure the rest of the Kitties Blue would like that either."

After their snack, they spent time paw-patting, whisker-kissing, and took a quick nap. Since today's theme was love, they held each other close and said how much they loved each other.  

It was time for Stinky to go home.  They both agreed it was nice to have two Adventures so close to each other. Stinky blew one last whisker kiss and, with a WOOSH, was on his way home.  Periwinkle found a sunpuddle and took another nap!
