Bonjour,

This morning, Joe and Bob had some good visits. Bob got to lead a man to the Lord.

I worked on making a potato salad, cupcakes, and frosting for tonight. Lenell’s birthday is tomorrow; so, we had a surprise party for her tonight.

After lunch, Gilbert wanted to go see the girls. Joe took him across the street, and Gilbert stayed to play. When Joe was ready to come back home, he asked Gilbert if he wanted to go home. Gilbert said, “No, Bye-bye, Daddy!” He stayed over there until supper time. He had a grand time.

The kids were outside playing when supper was ready. When I told Gilbert that supper was ready, he said, “Oh, Thank you!” He was hungry after playing so hard!

The party went well. Lenell was surprised.

Joe barbecued hamburgers. They were good!

Gilbert wanted everyone to hurry up and leave so that he could take a bath. He was standing back by the bath tub before everyone had left. I told him to go tell everyone goodbye. He went out and said, “Bye-bye!” Then, he went straight back to the bathroom to wait for his bath.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
