W'apow mu e, 

Joe and Dan did Bible Clubs this morning.  They had sixty at one of them.  They also went to visit Brother Blay; his health continues to decline; he is going blind now.

The kids did some work inside before heading outside to play.  Bonnie came in and said that the boys broke her fort.  The boys said that she did not have a fort to break.  Then, a few minutes later, the boys came to tell me that Bonnie broke their "whole town."  The kids who came for Bible Club came about 10:00.  Our kids played with them until Dan and Joe came for Bible Club out here.  

Someone purchased a plane ticket for me to go to the States for a couple weeks.  I will leave a week from Monday.  I am trying to get some things made up ahead of time that Joe can just take out of the freezer.  I worked on pizza pockets for school lunches and also made some cookies.

The power went off at 10:00 this morning and stayed off until 6:00 this evening.  That put a damper on my plan to get lots of laundry done today.  I got one load done before the power went off.  It takes about two hours for the washer to wash one load.  We turned the generator on about noon, but the washer doesn't work on the generator.  Oh well, there's always Monday!  : )

The kids played a game with Joe while I got pizza ready for supper.  

Nantsew yie!

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
