Ready to Rest!

Eric, Bob and Rohan landed just before 12:30 this afternoon. Zachary, Jason and I were there to meet them, along with Rohan's wife and son (their 2 daughters were in school). They were glad to be back, and we were all glad to see them!

Eric had a nice time over in Goroka. The PAC is a nice airplane, but not the ideal aircraft for our operations here. There's a guy in Australia who's trying to get us to lease a PAC from him, but he has quite a few requirements that we're not sure we can fulfill with this type of plane.

Our puppy dog is finally getting a new home! We only had 4 puppies this time around, so I didn't advertise. Three went right away, and we sort of got stuck with this fourth one. She's nice, but we really don't want two dogs. Anyway, in a passing conversation Bob found a missionary couple in town who were wanting one of our puppies should Panda ever have more. Bob mentioned that we in fact still had one left from her last litter! They came out Tuesday afternoon to meet the puppy, and since deciding to take her, they will pick her up momentarily.

Eric's outside planting some Brazilian cherry tree cuttings he brought from Goroka. I think it's too hot to have success with those, but Eric has fun trying anyway. I'm going to take a quick shower and then it will be Eric's turn.

We're having Friday night supper here this evening. Jan's bringing broccoli salad! (They get broccoli year-round in Goroka...lucky dogs!). I've made a spinach soup and toasted French bread with garlic/olive oil toasted on top. We'll have fruit and other things as well.

Happy Sabbath!!! (though I know it won't reach the rest of you for another full day...)

Stay tuned...
