Bonjour,

This morning, we took the boys to get shots. We left early to give us plenty of time to get across the bridge. We didn’t run into any traffic jams; so, we got to that side of a town a little early. We went to the grocery store to get some meat. Then, we went to the doctor’s office for the shots. Gilbert didn’t even cry. Danny cried more about being held down than he did about getting the actual shots.

Joe found a recipe for breakfast sausage. He got the butcher to grind some pork for him. He mixed the sausage with the seasonings when we got home. He made the meat into patties and then froze them. He sampled one to see how it turned out. It tastes like breakfast sausage to me!

While I was preparing lunch, Joe was outside with the boys. Gilbert was pulling Danny in the walker. A rock got in front of the wheel. Gilbert was trying to tell Daddy that there was a problem. He said, “Daddy, Rock mess it!” It was messed up!

Church went well this evening.
