Bonjour,

I am feeling better than I did yesterday but not quite back to 100% yet.

This morning, the boys were copying each other. Danny said, "Gilbert,
quit copypeting me." Gilbert was trying to set him straight, but he
couldn't remember the right way to say it either. While all of that was
taking place, Bonnie sneezed. She looked around waiting for one of them
to say, "Bless you." Since they didn't, she said it for herself.

The boys did school this morning. They were not in high gear today.
They were still finishing school at lunch time.

Some kids were out playing on the swing. The boys went to see who was
out there. Danny came back in to tell me that the big boy wasn't being
nice. I went out there to talk to him. I was telling them that they
needed to be kind. Bonnie started singing, "Be ye kind one to another…"

Joe went to visit one of the men in the church this morning. This
afternoon, he went into town to pick his phone up. The radiator hose
was leaking; so, he got that fixed too.

The kids and I took a nap. After naps, the kids went to play with the
Luther kids.

After supper, we had popcorn and watched Hot Lead and Cold Feet.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
