Bonjour,
 
We did school this morning.  We wanted to get done with school before Lenell came.  Lenell had a flat tire and had to get that repaired before she came.  So, we got school finished.
 
I worked on emptying a couple more barrels.  Brian Post came over on his school break and helped me unload a barrel.  Lenell helped me try to find a place for things when she got here.
 
Jennifer made lunch for everyone.  Nathan grilled hamburger patties.  We had a good time of fellowship.
 
Justin Post was running a fever.  He was in a bedroom with the air conditioner on.  So, the men retired to that room.  Jennifer had the air conditioner on in the school room; the ladies chose that room to visit.  Lenell brought her haircutting scissors.  So, she gave me, Jennifer, and Bonnie a haircut.  That was nice! 
 
Lenell headed back about 16:30.  Jennifer and I decided that we would just have leftovers for supper.  We got the kids fed.  Then, we had movie night.  Joe and Dan were at our house.  The kids were in the living room, and the ladies were in the school room.  Danny and Bonnie visited the ladies quite frequently and ended up falling asleep in our laps. 
 
The computer wasn't working right last night.  So, this e-mail is a little late in coming.
 
A demain,
 
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
