Bonjour,

Joe took the kids to school.  Then, he checked at several different places to get the best price for repairing some rust spots on the car.  He found a welder and a painter.  The welder will start the work tomorrow.  
I got the laundry started.  Then, I worked on my book for a while.  I think I am on page six now; what progress!  
Joe picked the kids up from school.  The kids all had a good day at school.  The kids played outside for a while.  
Bonnie was showing me a paper that she did today.  Their letter today was "L."  She was looking at the clue word pictures and telling me the words that she had learned that started with L – "letooce (lettuce), leezard (lizard), bumble bee (otherwise known as a lady bug), and a goat (lamb).  That girl is a mess!
We went into town for supper.  We ate at a Chinese restaurant; it was very good.
As we got closer to home, the power was off.  It was off for a couple hours and just came back on in time for bed time.  Hooray!
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
