Scrub Your Toilets and Change the Sheets... We've Got Company!

So last week was a week of visitors at the Anglin house. Our first guest was of the furry, four-legged variety -- Boomer, my parents' schanuzer. They were on vacation, and instead of leaving him out in the hot backyard, we offered to keep him over at our house for the week. We figured having two dogs in the house wouldn't be much different than the one we normally have, but it was funny to see how the two "only children" interacted the first few days!



Boomer is older than our dog Toby, and so when we have taken Toby to visit my parents' house in the past, he's usually the one running around and barking while Boomer just lays on the carpet. In fact, Boomer has always been nice and calm, very quiet, and does what he is told. When Boomer came over to our house, though, the roles completely reversed! Toby was the calmer one, while Boomer was much more active than we expected! Boomer also commandeered Toby's bed for the week, which I don't think Toby really minded too much because he's more of a floor dog. In the end, they got along well, and we were happy to keep him... although I think Toby was glad to be the "only dog" and get all of the attention again when Boomer went home!


We also hosted some human visitors last week -- members of Central Baptist Church in Jacksonville, TX. They were meeting up with our church here and two churches from La Grange for a mission trip to Germany to teach a Baseball Camp for kids. They say that the kids are fascinated to learn about "American sports", and they invite all of the families for worship services each evening in the towns. Our church has been involved with this for the last 7 or 8 years, and keeps growing each summer. Todd and I had fun chatting with our guests and getting to know more about them and their mission trip before they left. What a fun week! :)
