May 9th, 10th and 11th (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) On Saturday we got picked up in the morning to go and help Gladys and James with their roof.  We spent the day working up on the roof with both of them, and we had fun.  Then in the evening we went for dinner to a couple’s house and the man made us Chinese food.  It was a nice day, but we were tired from working up on the roof in the hot sun.
