W'apow mu e, 

Gilbert's eye was fine this morning.  It must have been an allergic reaction to something.  Bonnie got into the peanut butter and must have touched a place that I didn't see.  Gilbert is allergic to peanuts.

Joe is still not feeling very well.  He may have to take something for parasites.

Joe took the kids to school this morning.  The road is getting worse and worse with all of the rain.  It rained most of the night last night.

I worked on financial reports this morning.  I got them all ready; then, the printer was out of ink.  Oh well, at least the hard part is done.

Our computer has been acting strange the past couple days.  I found a virus on it today and got rid of it; now, it is working better.

The kids were all excited when they got home today because they found out today that Monday is a holiday, and they won't have school on Monday.  Joe was not so excited because I fly out of Takoradi on Monday morning at 8:00.  (I will have all day to kill in Accra; my flight does not leave Accra until 10:15 on Monday night.)  If we would have known sooner, they could have taken me to Accra.  Oh well, I am sure they will find something fun to do.  Bonnie said that they could go to a restaurant since it would be a holiday.  Gilbert said, "We can't go to a restaurant without Mom."  I asked him why they couldn't go without me.  He said, "Dad can't go to a restaurant without his beautiful wife."  I told him it was okay for them to go to a restaurant without me because I would be going to some while I was gone.

Danny has been busy writing notes to send back with me.  Gilbert and Bonnie colored some pictures.

The kids and I played a Memory game tonight.  Danny kept pointing to the one that he thought we should turn over.  The first few times, he was wrong.  I said that we shouldn't listen to him.  Then, the next couple times, he was right.  He said, "See, Mom!  I am a good thinker!"  Bonnie played for a little while and then moved on to other things.

Nantsew yie!
