Bonjour,

Joe took the kids to school this morning.  Then, he went into town to get plumbing parts, light bulbs, ceiling fans, etc.  
I worked on unpacking the kitchen today.  I got quite a bit accomplished.
I was just starting to tackle the mountain of laundry when the carpenter came to fix the bed frame to fit the mattress.  So, I had to quickly move all of the laundry off of the bed.
Joe got the washing machine hooked up for me.  He also fixed the ceiling fan in Bonnie's room.
The kids had a good day at school.  Danny had a bike wreck this afternoon.  He scraped his side all up.  
At church tonight, the power went off during the song service and stayed off for the whole service.  We lit some candles and kept going. The power was off when we got home too.  Joe had not gotten the generator hooked up yet up here.  So, he went out with his flashlight to work on that.  The power came back on long enough for the kids to fall asleep.  Then, it went back off.  Joe got the generator going now.  It is great to have those fans going!  He went down to the other house to get more diesel for the generator.  It has been a busy day!!
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
