We stayed home most of the day because of the rain. Mom and Dad were sick as well, due to exhaustion. Mom stayed in bed the whole day. I hope nothing serious is the matter with her.
L. had two classes in the morning and then one in the afternoon. I took the nieces to the afternoon class, while the rest rested. They answered some questions as well as asked a few of their own, tho' for the most part, they were shy. They opened up more when they talked with a smaller group of 5-6 that had gathered around them.
Since Mom was mandated to rest for the next couple days, I (L.) decided to cook dinner (which she hasn't done since mom took over *smile*). We went to Carrefour and Trust-mart to pick up some groceries for dinner. There was some traffic jam on the way back that kept us from going to XM via the usual (and shortest) route and the police waved us away from the intersection. The taxi driver cut across a parking lot to get around the mess.
The day before the girlfriend of a friend (J. from England who came to the Boston wedding) met the girls and thought they were adorable. She wanted to come up and spend some time with them, which she did after dinner...bearing gifts. She's quite fond of them.
