Bonjour,
Today we did some things around the house. I did some more cleaning. I divided my 50 lb. bag of flour into smaller bags and put it in the freezer. We bought some big plastic containers with lids to store our bulk flour, sugar, milk powder, etc. The flour was the only thing that did not do very well in the plastic container. Toward the end of the last batch, we had to throw the flour out because it had so many weevils and worms.
Joe is feeling a little better today. He got the kids' bike tires all aired up and put Bonnie's bell on her bike. The kids rode bikes out on the porch most of the day. At one point, the front gate was opened. Danny overshot the runway when he tried to turn around and went down the steps with his bike. He and the bike both survived the crash.
The switch for the water pump burned up today. Joe worked on repairing that this afternoon. He will have to go to town to get some parts tomorrow.
After supper, we played some games. Danny and Joe won both games of Cadoo. Then, we played one round of Skipbo Jr. Gilbert won that one with a little help from Mom and Dad.
We are counting down the days until Nana and Papa get here – five more days!
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
