Bonjour,

This morning, Joe and Gilbert went into Anyama to get a couple bags of cement for a project here at the house. Joe decided to move one of the fences and gates so that the dogs would have the whole back yard to run in. That way, we can put them back there and plant grass out front.

When they got back, we called my parents for their 37th wedding anniversary. Then, I worked on lunch.

After lunch, the boys and I took a nap. Joe watched “Monday night” football.

The boys and I took a walk with Sarah and the girls. Margie didn’t go today because they had some guests at their house. Then, the boys played with the Litson girls for awhile.

When we got home, Joe had to do “surgery” on Gilbert’s foot. It looked like a bite on the top of his foot, but it had gotten inflamed. Joe squeezed it, and discovered that there was a worm in Gilbert’s foot. Yuck! It was a small “mango” worm like Joe had a few years back. Joe was able to get the whole worm out after a lot of squeezing and a lot of squealing on Gilbert’s part. Gilbert was quite glad to be done with that whole ordeal!

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
