Bonjour,
 
Joe has not been feeling well today.  He must have some type of flu bug.  Pray that he feels better soon.
 
We did school this morning.  We didn’t have the seatwork pages today; so, it didn’t take as long.  The kids played with the Luther kids after school while I worked on lunch.
 
Just as the kids came in for lunch, it started to rain.  They wanted to go play in the rain for a few minutes.  They were soaking wet.  After lunch, we took naps.  The kids went back outside for a while after naps while I got supper ready. 
 
We rode to church with the Luthers.  Joe didn’t go because he still wasn’t feeling well.
 
Joe has decided that the best plan of action for the vehicle is to buy a brand new head.  He has found a place that has one.  Now, it is just a matter of getting the money together.  Joe has to take the bad head back to the guy that we bought it from; we don’t know how much we will be able to get back from him.
 
When I take Bonnie out of the bath tub, she always tells me that she is my angel.  Last night, she told me that she was a car angel.  I asked her what the car angel does if her car is broken.  She said, “She just goes in a taxi to the ice cream place, but they don’t have ice cream sometimes.”
 
A demain,
 
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
