Father's Day Weekend

I hope my dad had a good Father's day yesterday. He had a very good sermon Sunday morning.



This weekend:

Mom brought back some yummy treats from Poland, including some mint vodka.




At Paul's parents, we worked on an 1000 piece puzzle. This was when we had just finished it. It was a very difficult puzzle. Everyone helped out. Micheal and Grandma Laing helped out as well, but I forgot to get them in this picture.




Can you find the two pieces that Sophie (the dog) ate?

This morning:

After getting out of bed this morning, I did my usual ritual of checking my e-mail, facebook, foxnews, etc.... Right when I sit down, I hear a cat running up the stairs at full speed, claws digging into the carpet, and the sound of a plastic bag being blown by high speed winds behind it. Now, this wasn't that big of a surprise because I've heard this sound before. It was when Friskie got a bag stuck around his waist. Cats just freak out whenever this happens. Usually, it's the handle that causes so much trouble and that was the case with Honey this morning. She was flying at full speed with the handle of a plastic Walmart bag around her waist (It wasn't even on her that tightly. She was just making it worse running with it on). This makes a lot of noise! After seeing a quick flash of white plastic bag and a blur of orange fur, I see that she's in the guest bedroom. She runs over the bed, around the night table, then under the bed. I quickly go into the room and shut the door behind me, so that I can catch her and get the bag off. All I see is this white plastic bag shooting out one side of the bed and then to the other... popping in and out of the bed shirt. I also see a very fluffed orange tail from time to time! Finally, Honey runs out heading for the door and I grab her. She's totally freaked out! I then tell her "Calm Down". She begins to settle and I take the bag off noticing that the bag is covered in urine! She had peed all over the place while she ran around the guest bedroom.

For about 30 minutes, I went around the entire room with Oxyclean scrubbing up time little yellow spots all over the carpet. Thankfully, she didn't get it on the bed! However, she was one wet cat. I wiped her down with a wet paper towel to get the urine off, but it took her about an hour to calm down enough to lick herself clean. After rescuing her from the plastic bag, she's been around me all day so far. She won't leave my side, but she constantly stares into the guest bedroom as if that's where the evil thing still resides.
