Kitty adventures this week. Not good ones. On Monday Iris brought a snake to the back door. Not a good thing to do around here. And Opal's constant peeing on the carpet in the corners, behind the entertainment center, or anywhere she wants if we block those places came to a final end Tuesday. The other day she peed on the couch, and that was the official last straw. I declared her no longer welcome in the house, and she was put down Tuesday. I love my cats but I was not sorry to see her go. So far, Iris does not seem all that freaked out to not have her around either. Wednesday was the kickoff meeting for the Cub Scout popcorn season, which I'm leading up once again. Brad is having surgery and will be out of commission, so this year for a while I will be acting Cubmaster, as well as leading the den meetings for the Tiger Cubs. Saturday I had a nice bike ride (I'm back to running, but biking is nice too, especially for benchmark hunting) before we headed to FW to meet the Purvis' at the new splash pad at that one park by the interstate. I was also going to pick up the coffee table, which has now been fixed (not well, as it turns out, but oh well). Coincidentally we ran into Jeff from Iotron at the gas station near the steel mill just before getting to FW on the way there. Anyway, the splash pad is really nice, and the kids had a great time playing there. It seems like it's not well known yet either. Patrick and I even got some geocaching in.
