W’apow mu e,
Joe headed to Kumasi this morning. About thirty minutes later, he was back at the house. He realized that he forgot his hanging clothes. He got those and was back on his way. He got to Kumasi this afternoon.
Gilbert was searching for two certain books this morning. In doing so, he emptied half of their closet contents. Since it was already halfway emptied, we just cleaned out the whole closet while we were at it. He found one of the books he was looking for in the closet; the other book was in a box next to his bed. We did some rearranging to make more room for books on the shelf in the closet.
Then, we went out to the building where the guest room, tool room, and weight room are. Joe wanted all of that area to be swept out while he was gone. I helped the kids, but they did a lot of the work. They all took turns sweeping, and they each got to mop a room.
At lunch, Gilbert wasn’t very hungry. I asked him if he worked too hard and got too hot and lost his appetite. He said he thought so. Bonnie said, “Well, I used up all my energy too, and I’m not hungry either.” as she ate her third hot dog.
After naps, the kids played outside while I worked on supper. The night guard came early, and the afternoon guard was still here. So, the kids had fun playing with them. We did not have anyone wander into the yard today, and we got two balls returned to us today that the boys took yesterday.
We watched more of the Olympics tonight.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
