Bonjour,

Joe went into Anyama this morning. Romeo wasn't feeling up to going
visiting today. So, Joe came back home. Our water filter exploded last
night. So, we went into town to get another one. After we finished at
the store, we ate lunch at a Lebanese restaurant before heading home.

No one from the phone company came today. Maybe Monday!

While the boys took a nap, Joe and I sorted toys. We kept all of the
new toys out and put some of the others away for awhile. Bonnie sat on
the couch and played with her toys. She was so cute sitting there. She
is still a little wobbly if she tries sitting up on the floor, but on
the couch she does okay.

Lenell came over for supper tonight. When she got here, we went on a
walk with Margie. Then, we came back home and had supper. Joe worked
in the office this evening. I had a good time with Lenell and the children.

Lenell was washing the dishes. Gilbert came in to help. He was
standing there waiting for a dish to rinse. He said, "I'm
disappointed." Lenell asked him why he was disappointed. He replied,
"Because the water is dirty." He is a mess.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
