Bonjour,
 
This morning, the boys wanted to go see Margie.  I had forgotten to put the phone on the charger; so, the battery was dead.  I couldn’t call to see if she was busy; so, we just went over.  We stayed for about an hour.  She has some puzzles; Gilbert is really getting good at those.  Danny likes to play with her box of trucks.  Margie held Bonnie for awhile.
 
We went back to the house.  I got lunch ready.  Then, we went down for naps.  The boys didn’t go to sleep right away, but they both eventually went to sleep.  About the time that they went to sleep, Bonnie woke up.  I did get a short note in.
 
I got supper ready.  Then, I got everybody ready for church.  We went over to ride to church with Bob and Margie. 
 
Lenell sat with us in church after she finished playing the piano.  Danny fell off the bench during the invitation.  He was holding Lenell’s Bible, and his head fell on that instead of the cement floor.  That was a good thing!
 
We haven’t heard from Joe yet today.
 
A demain,
 
Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
