Bonjour,

This morning, Joe took Margie, Bonnie, and I up to Lenell's apartment.
We followed Joe and the boys into Abidjan; we went the back way to avoid
the traffic jam. Joe and the boys me up with Dan and his boys; they
went swimming for Gilbert's birthday. Then, they went to Akle for lunch.

We picked Jennifer up. Lenell was going to take Margie to get her hair
cut, but the beautician was sick today. So, went shopping instead.
Bonnie was a good little shopper. Then, we went to the good
Italian/French restaurant for lunch. We had a good time of fellowship.
We stopped at a fabric store before meeting back up with the guys.

Gilbert and Danny had fun with the Post boys. They were telling me all
about their morning. They rode home with the ladies in Lenell's
vehicle. We stopped at a Vietnamese restaurant to get some food to take
home for supper.

Tonight, Danny caught a frog. He brought it in, and I told him to take
it back outside. A few minutes later, he came inside to tell me that
his frog had died. He squished it to death. Danny wanted me to hug
him. I told him he needed to go wash his hands first. He said, "I did
wash them, Mom." I asked him where he had washed them. He said, "In
the dog's water."

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
