08/18/86 Lundi (Monday) Making Crepes and playing silly games

Today we didn't spend much time at the farm. We fed the animals and took some pictures and ate and by 3 p.m. we left.

We welked into L'aigle and mailed some letters and walked around for about an hour and a half. Afterwards we learned how to make crepes. They were really good.

We stayed up until 1:30 tonight laughing and talking. I am really tired!

We were throwing cigarettes around and trying to get them in Francois and Pierre's mouths. It was so funny.

I tried escargots (snail) tonight. They are really good!

I tried to call home and tell everybody not to worry but no one was home. I might try again tomorrow.

Sometimes I really want to go home and others it is okay.

My French is going down hill. I think it is because I am too tired to think. I miss things and people so much and then I don't. Sometimes I feel like I could stay forever and others I don't think I can make it through the day. My feelings are so confused.

Je t'aime moi no plus - I love it me I don't. It is so true! Idon't want to say goodbye to everybody. I juts want to disappear from life here . I hate saying goodbye. Especially to Colette . I don't know how to be nice when I feel so much dislike for her. Well 1 week from today will be it!

Bon Soir

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...
