Bonjour,
The kids were glad that this was the last day of school for the week. They always ask, "How many days until play day?"
I got a few things done around the house. Then, Joe took me into town to get my hair cut. This was the first time that I have had someone here in Takoradi cut it. She cut it a little differently than normal, but it will grow. We went to the grocery store and then went out to eat for lunch. We headed home and got things unloaded. Then, Joe went to get the kids from school.
Bonnie was back in the office today. That girl! The first time was for talking, and the second time was for not paying attention. She said that they just talked to her. I think there were several talkers who all went to the office together.
The kids changed their clothes and went outside to play with the Luther kids. The Luthers are planning to move in a week. The kids will miss having them around.
This evening after I finished the dishes, I played a game with the kids. The Luthers gave us a couple games that they were getting rid of. So, we had to figure out one of those.
Bonnie was chewing a piece of gum. She has been known to spit it out in a place other than the trash. So, I asked her where she put her gum. She said, "In the rubber." She meant "rubbish." That is the word that they use for trash here.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
