Bonjour!

This morning, Joe went to Mt. Calvary for a wedding that was supposed to start promptly at 8:00. At 8:00, Joe and Brother Davis were the only ones there. The groom showed up a few minutes later. The bride did not arrive until 9:00. The bride’s mother came at 9:30. So, they got started quite late. Joe said that it was a nice wedding though.

This morning, I did the dishes from last night’s party. Then, I started on pies for Christmas.

Joe went into town after the wedding. He said that there was a lot of traffic today.

This afternoon, I wrapped presents while Joe worked on his class notes. The boys both took a nap. I got a nap in too.

This evening, Gilbert wanted to play with Danny. He tried to see if Danny wanted to box. Then, he kept patting Danny’s stomach and tickling his feet. When Gilbert tickles, it feels more like scratching.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
