Bonjour,

Joe and the boys worked outside for a little while this morning. Then,
Joe and Julian loaded Lenell's cabinets up and took them up to her
apartment. The apartment isn't finished yet, but they are at the point
where the kitchen cabinets can be installed.

Danny fell asleep on the couch while I was fixing lunch. When I moved
him to his bed, he woke up. That woke Gilbert up. Then both stayed up
until Daddy got home, and he got them to go back down for naps. Bonnie
woke up about that time too. After I got her back to sleep, I took a nap.

Bob Engelhart came over this afternoon to borrow our scanner. He told
Joe that on their way back from Abidjan that they noticed that the gas
prices had gone up. So, Joe went back into Anyama to fill up the
vehicle. Whenever the gas prices go up, there are usually riots the
next day. Joe called Bob Mach and Dan Post to warn them too; they both
headed to the gas station. The people will probably be burning gas
stations and tires tomorrow. The price went from 545 per liter to 785
per liter; that's about $7.20 per gallon.

Margie came over to visit for a few minutes. The boys were happy to see
her. Bonnie even woke up to see her.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
