W'apow mu e, 

This morning I got up and made scrambled eggs for breakfast.  I put some ham and cheese in the eggs.  Bonnie got up and said, "Well Dad, whats for breakfast this morning?"  I could tell she was in one of those moods, so I tried to sound excited and told her we were having some special scrambled eggs.  She said, "If it is special then I don't want it!  Mom only does normal eggs!"  Well, she plopped down at the table and crossed her arms and clamped her jaw shut and there she sat.  I finally convinced her that it would be better for her to at least try one bite.  She did not look convinced and I put a bite of eggs in her mouth.  Her eyes got big and she said, "These eggs really are special!"  She proceeded to eat all of her breakfast!  I read somewhere that if you put a little dab of mustard in your scrambled eggs that it enhances the flavor.  Well I guess they were a success!

There have been reports that a large anti-government rally will be held on Friday.  I have been seeing these rallies turn into riots so we are going to have a "Political Unrest Day" and stay home from school.  In the U.S. you get "Snow Days" but we get "Political Unrest Days!"  I told the school director that we would not be there on Friday and he checked into it and then canceled school.

I went to town and tried to get the electric company to send someone to fix the meter at the church.  They did send someone and he said it was fixed.  He left and I went to buy the pre-paid units to put on the meter.  The lady at the store said that my meter was still invalid!  I called the guy and he said that they had closed for the day and we could try again tomorrow!  Well, tomorrow, the guy is not going home until the lights are on at the church!

We got home after school and the kids took naps so that they can stay awake in church tonight.  I fixed supper, but I misjudged the time and we were almost late for church!

We had a good night at church.  We had a good attitude and the people sang so nice.  One lady gave a testimony that she was so glad we sing scripture songs because during the week she encourages herself by singing songs like Jeremiah 33:3.

After church tonight the boys were catching lighting bugs.  One little boy at church is very afraid of lightning bugs and showed his weakness to Danny!  Danny spent quite a bit of time chasing that boy with lightning  bugs.  Bonnie decided she wanted one as a pet, but she could not catch one.  She enlisted Gilbert to catch them for her.  Then she would look at it and say, "Gilbert, this one is a boy and I wanted a girl!"  Gilbert would get right back to trying to catch a girl lightning bug.

Nantsew yie!
