Bonjour,
The electricity was back to its tricks today. At 5:00 this morning, one phase dipped very low while a different phase was very high. We were on the generator all day. This evening, it seems to be almost back to normal. One phase is still running a little high.
Joe took the kids to school. I made a potato dish for supper and put in the refrigerator.
Joe and I went into town to go grocery shopping. He took me to lunch. Then, we went to get the kids from school. Bonnie said that she had to stand next to her teacher today because she wasn't paying attention, but she was pleased to point out that she did not have to go to the office.
When we got home, Joe worked on the electricity but didn't solve anything. He finally got in touch with the electric company. I think they know our phone numbers now; they don't always answer when we call. Their standard answer is, "It is coming."
Joe grilled chicken outside while I finished the other supper preparations inside. The chicken wasn't getting done outside; so, we finished it up in the oven. Julie Luther and her children came down for supper. Charlie went to Koforidua with the moving truck this morning. He is planning to come back tomorrow to get the family.
The kids enjoyed playing with the Luther children. We are going to miss the Luthers.
I forgot to tell a funny story about Bonnie. Yesterday, Joe found Cherry Coke in town. He brought one home for me and was putting it in the refrigerator. He said, "This is for my sweetheart." Bonnie said, "It's for me? I'm your sweetheart, right?" Joe said, "Mom is my sweetheart." Bonnie said, "No, she's just a girl."
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
