Bonjour,

I still wasn't feeling very well this morning. I am feeling a little
better this evening though.

Joe went up to the Anyama church to see if Romeo was back from the
village. Romeo was back, but he was sick. So, Joe just ran some
errands in Anyama and came home around noon.

The boys went over to Margie's house from 10:00 to noon. Bonnie took a
short nap, and I rested as well. I just took it easy today.

The mechanic has found a Toyota Land Cruiser that is for sale. Joe is
going to buy it and sell our vehicle. He thinks that the Toyota will be
a more dependable vehicle, and the parts are much easier to find here.
Joe and the boys left a little early to stop by the mechanic to look at
the Toyota, but it wasn't there yet. So, they stopped at the Anyama
church to check on the construction of the deaf school classrooms. The
guy who was doing the work wasn't doing what the head mason had told him
to do. So, Joe got all of that squared away.

The church service went well. There were 30 in attendance.

When the boys got home, I asked Gilbert if he was good. He said, "No."
I asked him what happened. He said that he got in trouble for playing
with Danny and Daddy made him go sit somewhere else; after that, he was
good. Danny said that he was good. Of course, that is Danny's standard
reply. If you ask him anything about himself, he says, "No, I'm a good
boy."

Bonnie has a top tooth coming in. She has been a little fussy today,
but she does seem to be over her ear infection.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
