Bonjour,
This morning, we all got dressed up in our matching outfits to get
family pictures taken. A British lady that we met has some very nice
gardens at her house. She took pictures for us at her house. She took
over 100 pictures. There were about four that turned out good; everyone
was at least looking the same direction in those. She couldn't get the
boys to smile, but she tried very hard. She had her yard boys dancing
around behind her trying to get Bonnie to look and trying to get the
boys to smile.
She invited us to stay for tea and biscuits. She brought cookies to the
table, but Gilbert was looking for biscuits. He didn't know that the
British call cookies biscuits; he was a bit confused. On the way home,
he said, "Mommy, she forgot to bring the biscuits."
We were having trouble getting the pictures to download to a CD. Her
husband got there in time for tea, and he had a different CD that worked.

When we got home, Margie was standing outside her gate. So, the boys
wanted to go see her for a few minutes. She let them play over there
while I got lunch ready.
The children and I took a nap. Joe worked in the office.
Lenell loaned us a new movie that someone had sent her. So, we all
watched that together tonight. The boys went outside to play with
Julian, our guard, for a little while.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
