Bonjour,

Joe went visiting this morning. He had to take care of a couple
problems again today. When they got back to the Anyama church, he had
to deal with a problem with the guy working on Lenell's apartment. That
took awhile. He got home about 2:00.

The boys were grouchy this morning. They must have still been tired
from their long day yesterday. They were much happier after their naps.

After lunch, I had given Danny a piece of cake. Gilbert didn't want
any. When Danny had eaten about half of the piece of cake, he said,
"Spicy, Mama!" He has been saying that when things aren't really
spicy. So, I told him that it wasn't spicy and to go ahead and eat it.
He took a couple more bites and then got down. When I went to clean up
his place, I realized that he had gotten the pepper shaker and dumped
pepper on his cake. I guess it was a bit spicy!
