Bonjour,

This morning, I got some things done around the house. The boys helped
pick up in the living room while I worked in the kitchen. I made some
things for this afternoon – brownies, cookies, and breadsticks. Danny
wanted to sample the brownies before they even came out of the oven.

Lenell had invited all of the ladies over to her apartment today to make
a photo box. Tammy's vehicle broke down again, and Becky wasn't able to
come. So, Joe went to get Tammy and Kristine. The Posts came to our
house. Then, Lenell came to pick up all the ladies. Dan and his boys
stayed with Joe and the boys. Bonnie went with me.

Everyone had a good time. We had fun with our project. We had lots of
good laughs. Bonnie got a couple naps in.

Joe and the boys had fun too. They went swimming. Joe said that Danny
got dunked under the water. When he came up, he told the boys, "Don't
ever do that again!" He has also been telling people, "Watch your
attitude!" He is a stinker! When I asked Gilbert about swimming, he
said, "Those boys splash a lot, and they dunked me under; but, I closed
my mouth and eyes, and I was okay."

We gave Tammy and Kristine a ride home this evening. The boys had
played hard today and both fell asleep on the way home; they both stayed
asleep when we got home. Joe carried both boys straight to their beds.
Bonnie was ready to play for awhile before she went to bed.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
