W’apow mu e,
All three kids helped with the dishes this morning. Gilbert was the chief bottle washer. Danny was the rinser; he had the “veto” power. Bonnie was drying. Bonnie said “Reject!” a couple times just because she liked the sound of the word.
Joe went into town to get some copies made. The boys’ job while he was gone was to take all of the branches that they cut down yesterday to the burn pile. They came in for a water break. “Moving trees is hard work, Mom!” is what they said.
Bonnie wanted to sort things in her room. I am still not feeling too perky. I had her bring the boxes that she wanted to sort out to the living room. We worked on them out there. Sammy came to play with the kids, and my little sorter was done sorting.
After naps, Joe worked on making a bulletin board for the boy’s room. They have pictures and drawings that they want to hang on the wall. I found a roll of cork board while I was in the States and brought that back to make a bulletin board. All three kids were “helping” Dad with that project while I got supper ready.
Joe and Gilbert went to church tonight. I think I must have cellulitis again because the symptoms seem to be persisting instead of getting better.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
