Bonjour,
 
The kids slept in until 6:30 this morning.  It was a sunny day today; so, the kids played outside quite a bit.  I did a couple loads of laundry this morning.
 
Everyone except Gilbert took a nap this afternoon.  He rested for a while and then was off to play with the Luthers.  When Danny woke up, he went to play too.  I walked up to the Luthers’ house with Bonnie after she woke up.  I talked to Julie for a while and then headed back home to make pizza for supper.
 
Bonnie seems to have several mango worms.  Danny just had one this time.  Gilbert didn’t get any.  We have heard different theories about how one gets them.  The newest one is that flies lay eggs on the laundry on the clothesline if it is left out too late in the day.  If that’s the case, we should all have them.  But, I guess we can be glad that we don’t all have them.
 
We had the last of Gilbert’s birthday cake and some ice cream.  They requested popcorn but settled for ice cream.
 
Joe had a good day up in Wa.  He will be heading home on Monday.  The Andrew Aaron family is coming down for a visit on Monday.  They live in Kumasi; Joe is going to ride back with them once he gets to Kumasi. 
 
A demain,
 
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
