Bonjour,

Joe took the kids to school.  Then, he headed to the welder to have the rust spots repaired.  He then went to the painter to schedule the painting for tomorrow.  He got home at lunch time.
I did some cleaning, laundry, and worked on my book a little.
We got a brownie mix in a package the other day.  So, I made those brownies and then worked on supper.  
After supper, we headed to church.  Ghana was playing Guinea tonight in the Africa Cup of Nations; so, there were eight in attendance tonight.  We saw people gathered around TV screens and radios on our way to church.  Joe preached a good sermon.
Bonnie said that her teacher told her that her hands were dirty today.  I looked at her hands, and she had dirt under her fingernails.  I asked her how her fingers got so dirty.  She said, "Well, I was just playing with a black girl at school; she's my friend."  She must think that the black comes off!  : )
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
