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....???

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head". I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time. Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10. I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting. But first...this picture...It just kills me! When church is just too much! Haha. I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel. But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?) (And he is 10 years old). Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....

11/03/24 How is it November already?

Yesterday is the first day I've felt good in a long time! Seriously! I hope whatever is going on has finally left me. We did our day backwards. Dad slept in and we skipped pickleball. When he got up he had breakfast and then carved a pumpkin which I processed. It took 2 hours! (I had done one Friday night, same...2 hours!!!) So we have 17 bags of "2 cups" of pumpkin in the freezer. We have 2 more pumpkins but we both feel like we are DONE with the pumpkin thing!! haha While he was working on that I made pumpkin pie and chocolate pie (from scratch...like no pudding!!!). They both look yummy. We'll know at dinner tonight! We've been having the most beautiful sunrises. While I was doing my weight lifting I had to stop and go take a picture -- it was glowing red through the windows!!! We had a quiet Saturday - I did some laundry and yard work -- trimmed up some trees and picked up debris (no more mowing for me!) At 6 p.m...
