Bonjour,

It seems that the rainy season is starting a little early this year. We
have had heavy rain two nights in a row. It has cooled off too; that is
nice! The rain helped with our water supply too.

It was very muddy this morning. So, Joe decided to go visiting this
afternoon instead of this morning. They walk to the houses to visit,
and it is all dirt trails.

Kristine invited me to go out to lunch with her, April, and Clara
today. Then, we went to Kristine's house and watched a movie.

Joe had fun with the kids. They transplanted a palm tree. Then, they
made a snare to catch a little animal that we have seen hopping around.
We aren't sure what the animal is. There is an animal that they call a
grass cutter, but it is more like a rat than what we have been seeing.
The boys both thanked Joe for everything he did for them today. They
really enjoyed it. As soon as I got home, they had to show me the tree
that they moved and their snare. They kept checking to see if they
caught anything yet.

Joe and Charlie went visiting this afternoon. They had some good visits.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
