This morning, Joe took Mack Siekbert into town to show him the new hot spots – where we buy things in bulk, etc.  They went back to the store that had the Swiss Miss cocoa and bacon bits and stocked up on those.  When stores get things like that in, it doesn’t usually happen again.  Then, they ate lunch at Scoops.  They have a good hamburger there.  

On the way home, they stopped to pay for our new living room furniture.  Up to this point, we have been using a borrowed love seat.  It was interesting to get all five people on a love seat, but we managed.  We got a sectional couch and matching chair and two African style recliners. They were able to deliver it today too. The kids have been bouncing all around from spot to spot; there are just too many places to choose from.  

Danny and Bonnie went up with Joe and Mack to check on the pool.  Gilbert was asleep.  He had to take Benadryl due to an allergic reaction from the cat; so, he fell asleep.  They discovered that a part inside the pump had burned up.  They brought Bonnie home, and Danny rode along to take Mack home.  They went to pick up his car battery that has been charging for three days, but it had no charge at all. So, Danny stayed to play with Nehemiah while Joe and Mack went in search of a new battery.  The head on their other vehicle has to be replaced.  Joe knows how it is to be without a vehicle.  He doesn’t mind helping Mack out at all!  They weren’t able to find the type of battery that he wants.  

Kristine watched the kids for us tonight.  Joe and I went to Captain Hooks for supper; it is a good seafood restaurant.  Kristine said that the kids were good, and we had a good time too.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
