Bonjour,

This morning, Joe went up to Lenell's apartment to meet with the guy who
is doing the plumbing work, the mason, and Lenell. The guy doing the
plumbing work is not really a plumber; so, it is taking him awhile to
get it all done. They think they got everything squared away.

Gilbert was digging out in the yard this morning and found one of his
balls that the dogs had buried. He was so tickled to have his ball back.

Danny was tackling Gilbert today. He is strong. Gilbert got away from
him; so, Danny grabbed him by the foot. They were both laughing and
rolling around.

Bonnie is feeling better. The medicine for stomach cramps has really
changed her disposition. She has been happy and smiling.

This afternoon, the children and I took a nap. Joe took Max to go look
for a new copy of the DVD to replace the one that wouldn't work the
other night.

When Joe got home, he went swimming with the boys. Then, the children
and I went for a walk with Lenell and Margie. The boys went to play
with Precious while I got supper ready.

This evening, the guard found a wildcat in our yard. The cat must have
climbed the neighbor's coconut tree and fallen out into our yard. He
borrowed the Engelharts' guards for a few minutes to help him kill the
cat. They killed it. The boys were waiting patiently to see the cat.
It was black with red stripes.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
