Bonjour,

This morning, we called a taxi driver that we know. He came to the
house to pick me up. Then, we picked Kristine up. We went in search of
fabric for Danny's shirt. Most of the fabric booths inside the market
circle were closed today since it is Good Friday. But, there were
several places open on the outside of the circle. We could not find the
exact same material. So, we got something that had the same colors in
it. Then, we found a place who said that they could make the shirt by
2:00 this afternoon. It was about 10:00 then. So, we had a few hours
to kill. There were a lot of used shoes and clothing on the circle
today. So, we had fun looking at all of that. We found some good
deals. I bought some dress shirts for Joe, but they all ended up being
too small. XL here is not the same as x-large in the States. (Some of
the clothes were from the States; so, I thought they might work.) I did
find some shoes and clothes for the kids.

When we finished all of our shopping, it wasn't quite noon. We called
the taxi driver, and he dropped us off at a restaurant. We ate lunch
and then just sat there and talked for a while. He picked us up at
1:30, and we went to check on the shirt. They were just finishing it
up. We got the shirt and headed home.

Joe and the kids had a good day. The kids played outside. Joe worked
on burning a tree that was cut down some time ago. Bonnie and Danny
were both asleep when I got home.

We had homemade pizza for supper tonight. When I was cutting the pizza,
Bonnie said, "Mom is playing Tic Tac in a row." Gilbert asked her who
was winning, and she told him that Mom was.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
