Bonjour,

The internet has been down most of the day.  When it came back on, the electricity went off for four hours.  It seems there is always something going on.
The welder and his workers came about 11:00 today.  They finished the work inside the house and just have to hang the gates on the front door tomorrow.  They couldn't hang them today because the cement has to dry for 24 hours, and we would have been trapped inside since the gate on the back door is in the drying process.  We still have a big mess inside, but we are making headway.  We got the kids' room all cleaned up today.  It was the only room that was completely finished.
The kids had a good day at school.  They played outside when they got home since there was still work going on everywhere.  Martin came by.  He and Joe played soccer with the boys.  Danny fell right on his nose and skinned it all up again.  
I made pizza for supper.  Just as the last pizza was going into the oven, the power went off.  Joe fired up the generator.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
