08/17/86 Dimanche (Sunday) Playing the Organ, lazy Sunday

Another great day! We stayed up until 5:30 last night and then got up this morning at 9:30. We went to the farm. Only thing we did was care for the rabbits. The rest of the day we spent basically doing nothing. I was a little upset because I had to go back to Colettes tomorrow but Babbette made that good.

I don't have to go back until Thursday or Saturday. That is so good. We ate dinner out tonight because the family that has been here since I arrived were leaving today and it was taking forever for them to go so to avoid them we ate out.

Unfortunately they were still here when we got back at 8 p.m. Shortly after they left. Babette pulled out here electric organ which is nice and big and we played with it for more than an hour.

The guys came home and Francois, Pierre, Tonya and I played uno and then watched the lightening storm. Really fun.

We are going to sleep a little earlier tonight - 3 a.m. We should be in bed I hope!

I am so relieved about not going back to Colettes! I know prayers are answered because I'm here and I am learning to appreciate French people and the culture and am learning a little French. I am really glad this is working for the better!
Good Night!
Bon Soir!

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. )

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...

10/10/95 Journal Entry - Still no house!!!! But feeling blessed

10/10/95 Still no house - maybe this week. Haha. Money ran out of the last issue on the people right before us. More money may come in at a lower rate. We'll have to see. Dallas is really growing up in a hurry. He is crawling very well on his knees, standing up on things and moving while holding furniture. He's been really fussy this past week. Maybe a cold or teeth. I don't know. I held him on the coucn all night Saturday. he is really a mama's boy and cries when I leave or come in the room. AJ is also growing up fast. He's so independent. He knows what he wants and often gets it. Saturday Gma and Gpa Griffin were leaving to go home and Aj said, "Where are you going?". Grandma says, "Home to Salt Lake City." AJ says, "Ok, just a minute I'll get my shoes on!" He is a really good looking little boy. I sure am lucky to have such a neat family. Andy's been busy training Dean Rock. Last two weeks he do...
