W'apow mu e, 

Joe had a meeting at the church this morning.  Then, he and Dan ran some errands for the church – paid the fee for having a church sign by the road, bought light bulbs, etc.  

The kids did the dishes this morning.  Then, they tidied up their rooms before they went outside to play.

I am just about to get caught up on the laundry, I think.  I got a few things done and tried to take it easy.

During lunch, we were talking about picturing something in your mind.  Bonnie said, "Is there a camera in there?  I don't understand what you are saying."  I tried to explain it, and she still wasn't understanding.  During supper, I mentioned it again.  Joe had all the kids close their eyes and told them to think about a tree – its branches, its leaves, etc.  Then, he told them that was what it meant to picture something in your mind.  Bonnie said, "Oh, my mind takes the picture!"  

Danny has a little portable DVD player that he won in a Candy Sale drawing when we were in the States.  He had not been able to find it for a couple months.  I was putting some DVDs away today and found the portable DVD player.  Danny was so happy.  After Danny carried it around all day, Gilbert came in and said that Danny wouldn't let anyone even touch his "little TV."  Danny said, "I didn't say that."  Gilbert said, "Well, that's what you were thinking in your mind."

Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
