W'apow mu e,
Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all of those who have fought to keep our nation free.
Joe took the kids to school this morning. Then, he headed to the electrician. He had to wait a while for him to get there. The electrician thoroughly checked everything while showing his apprentices everything he was doing. He wanted to rule out anything else before just assuming that it was the battery, but the battery was bad. Joe bought a new battery, and the vehicle is back up and running. It is quite muddy with all of the rain that we have been having. Joe said that in the area where he went to get the car fixed, a road maintainer had gotten stuck in the mud. Joe didn't know if he would ever get out of there.
This morning, I made a potato salad and an oreo dessert for our Memorial Day supper. I also did some laundry and filtered some water.
Mack Siekbert needed help transporting his group to the ocean. We took half of them out in our vehicle and stayed for a couple hours. Joe went out into the ocean with the guys. I sat underneath a palm tree and read. We took the guys back to the Siekberts' house and then went to get the kids from school.

The boys have been eyeing some slingshots at one of the little stores that we pass on the way home. Joe told them yesterday that he would get slingshots for them today in honor of Memorial Day. That little store didn't have anything that Bonnie would want; so, we found a doll for her before we picked the kids up from school. They were all tickled with their "surprises."
The vet was supposed to come this morning to check on the dog. He finally came this evening. Thumper is starting to get the big lumps that he had a month or so ago. He just lies around. Joe waited around for the vet to come. Then, Joe had to go to town. We waited until he got home to eat supper.
It was raining outside. So, we cooked hotdogs on the griddle, and I made hotdog buns.
Pray for Joe as he travels to Ivory Coast tomorrow.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
