Good friends of ours have taken Woody, our much loved Golden Retriever, to live with them. They have 10 acres and lots of room to run which he craves. They have two boys who just love having Woody be their dog. He is a boy's dog! And yes he has already eaten chocolate chip cookies off her counter top just like he did at my house so he must feel right at home!
We had given our little dachsund to my mom in February. She had been a bit sick before we made the handoff, but just last week, she went down hill fast and had to be put to sleep. We found out that it was kidney failure. We are sad for all of us. Miley/Mindy was a cheerful, fun, sweet, mischievous little thing that was hard not to love.
We still have a lovely snowshoe cat that needs a home. She is 4 years old and is very snuggly and cuddly. If you know of anyone, please let us know! We would love to give her to a good home.

Flight news!
After trying for a few days to find a good deal on airline tickets for July 31st, we heard of a travel agent who can book missionary prices. We were able to find one way tickets on British Airways for only 570.00 for the four of us and only 460.00 for Andrew. We are thankful for the deal we were able to land on those!

House news!
A family working with Vienna Christian School is leaving for a year and we will be renting their home while they are in the States. They have three children as well. Their home will be great for us to use and it works out perfect for them not to have to pack up their things for one year and move. We are thankful for their generosity letting us use their home and things. I don't have to pack my kitchen up and I will leave most things here for the guys to use who are renting from us.
The Vienna home has three bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, dining room and living room. There is also a garage and another small two room "cottage" on the grounds. It will be great for hosting students and guests. We actually will have a fenced in yard! Room to throw a football and kick a soccer ball! I think that the boys will love that and so will I when it is time to shoo them out of the house and they can play safely in the yard.
