Bonjour!

The soccer game on Saturday ended in a tie – 1 to 1. We had a good time of

fellowship with the Machs, Litsons, and Engelharts.

Church went well on Sunday. There was a good number there for both the

morning and evening services.

After Danny and Gilbert woke up from their naps, we went to see the Litson

girls. Then, we went for a walk with them and Margie.

I tried some new recipes. I had supper ready when Joe got home. All of the

new recipes turned out well.

This morning, Joe met with Matt and Bob for their weekly meeting to discuss

any problems at church. Then, Joe and Matt headed into Anyama to go back to

the mechanic.

The Litson girls came over to play this morning. Sarah invited us over for

lunch. The boys are playing with the Litson girls while I get e-mails sent.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
