Bonjour,
Joe took the kids to school. Then, he went to Sekondi to check on the price of getting some fish for the dog. When he got home, he fixed a problem with the well pump so that Charlie could pump water. Charlie needed some help moving a heavy bookshelf that had fallen. Joe and I both went up there. I visited with Julie while Joe helped Charlie.
I made laundry soap yesterday and got it divided up today. I did some laundry and cleaning.
The kids had a good day at school. Bonnie said that she had to stand up in the back of the classroom today for not paying attention, but she didn't have to go see the principal. Danny is picking up reading and writing very quickly. I can see a big difference in his writing from the beginning of the school year. Gilbert struggles a little more with reading but has nice penmanship as well.
The kids rested for a little while. Then, they went outside to play with the puppy for a few minutes before supper. Danny and Bonnie both carried their big backpacks out to the field. I asked Bonnie where she was going. She said, "I'm just going to America."
We had a good night at church.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
