Bonjour!

This morning, Joe taught his class. I worked on some insurance paperwork. Then, I made a cake to take to the Machs’ house this afternoon.

Danny slept all morning. Gilbert played with Nana.

After naps this afternoon, we went over to the Machs. They had the Davises and the Wideners over as well. The men watched a football game while the kids swam. The ladies sat outside and watched the kids swim. Danny made the rounds. He was asleep, but all of the ladies took a turn holding him.

Then, we had supper. We had rice with a sauce over it. As I was eating the sauce, I thought that I tasted peanuts. I looked at Gilbert, and his chin was red. We asked, and it did have peanuts in it. We took him inside and washed him off. Then, we gave him some Benadryl. The rash cleared up quickly. Everyone sat around and fellowshipped for quite awhile.
