W’apow mu e,
Yesterday, I found a new shop that sells frozen meat. They sell, get this, minced meat (aka ground beef), beef burger (aka hamburger patties), hamburgers (aka ground pork patties), steak, and all kinds of grilling supplies. I bought some ground pork to give it a try. Last night I mixed the ground pork with some spices. This morning, I made sausage gravy, and Laura made biscuits. What a treat!
I was helping the kids get ready for church this morning. Bonnie came into the living room and said, “Dad, let’s do some team work and get these shoes upon my feet!”
We had a good day at church! One young man that I saw on visitation came, and he brought his whole soccer team. Three of those boys got saved this morning!
This morning in junior church, Bonnie was picking a song to sing. She asked Laura, “Can we sing the gravy song?” Laura looked at her funny. Bonnie said, “You know, ‘Up from the grav-y arose.’” I guess the “He” got lost in there somewhere. Bonnie usually gets at least one good cry in while at church. At the end of church today, Laura remarked that Bonnie had not cried at all. Bonnie said, “Oops! I left my crier at home!”
After church this evening, Gilbert asked if he could walk toward the house with some of the men from the church. Bonnie and Danny wanted to go too, but they chickened out and came back to the church. Laura walked toward the house with them. I picked them up in the car on my way home.
Laura has had a headache all day. I think it has developed into a migraine! She has gone to bed!
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
