W'apow mu e, 

The taxi came fifteen minutes early this morning.  The driver said that he was going to come five minutes earlier since the roads are so bad.  We were ready, but the people who ride with the kids weren't here yet.  They got here shortly after he did though, and they were off.

About 10:00, a big storm moved in.  The power went off and stayed off until 6:30 this evening.  I fired up the generator around 12:30.  I had the fuel all measured out in case we had to run the generator all night.  

I was moving right along with my laundry until the power went off.  Then, it came to a grinding halt.  

Missions With the Consfords

When the kids got home from school, it was still cloudy and cool.  So, they did not swim today.  I sprayed them down with bug spray and let them play outside for a little while before supper.

After supper, we played a couple games of Cadoo.  

Joe got a lot accomplished in Ivory Coast today.  He took the Posts to the airport this evening.  He will finish sorting through our things tomorrow and then head back here on Thursday.

Nantsew yie!
