08/12/86 Mardi (Tuesday) Liseux

Got up around 9 and ate and dressed quickly. Then I went on another shopping excursion. I found some mugs that say bonjour for 11F50 so I bouth 6 . Also some candies for inside. I still want to get 3 cidre and fomage and t-shirts or something for Becky and Ruth. I'll see how much I have left after that for whoever else. It is so difficult to get something for everybody cause you always forget somebody!

We ate lunch at a real neat restaurant. We had salad and ice cream again. Very good.

Colette is becoming quite a thief - a petty thief. She stole bread and the menu.

After Liseux - that's where we went today - we went shopping and she ate stuff through the store and never paid for them. I can't believe it.

Liseux is realyl neat. I would love to spend time there just shopping. it is so nice. We took a train ride and saw all the main points - St Anne's home, cathedral, etc. Very neat.

I enjoyed today lots.

I either go to Tonya's Thursday or Saturday. i hope Saturday so I can stay until next Tuesday (A big market will be there). Then I'll only have 4 or 5 days left at Colette's. Otherwise I'll have 1 week. That is 7 long days! And I don't want to spend any more $ besides necessities and gifts! I just want to get home fast!

Armand remains a sweetie and I really like staying here. Of course it is nice. We'll probably go to the beach tomorrow!! Yea! If not...?

Tonight I watched a polish movie with french captions. Looks like the plans are Tonya's tomorrow or Thursday until Saturday....???

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north. Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby. Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us. Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides. We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more. Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

08/20/25 Max out of pocket reached early again...hospital here we come

As is customary, within 7-10 days from returning from a trip we go to the hospital. We stayed out of the ocean -- while we were in the Bahamas -- in order to keep Andy healthy. (We have determined that he has been getting infections through his swollen legs or cuts on his feet.) Andy did not get infection from being naughty! haha BUT he somehow picked up COVID! What the heck?! On Sunday last week (Aug 10) he started having a scratchy throat, voice. It got worse and most of last week he had laryngitis. That resolved itself and he was feeling pretty fine. We had a full Wednesday. Around 9 p.m. he said he was feeling a little funky/woozy, whatever. Off?! We went to bed and his temperature reading was still below normal but he was having body aches and shivering. We tried to sleep but he was clearly in pain and tossing and turning. About 1:00 a.m. I got up and checked his temperature...100. Hmm. I looked at his legs and it looked like he might possi...
