08/22/86 Samedi (Saturday)

Left L'aigle this morning at 8:15.  Everybody was real exhausted from last night but we managed.  We stayed together until lunch at Burger King at around 1.  Then we all split up until 5:30.

Good thing because everyone was really irritable and no one could decide what to do.

Tonya and I wondered around Paris and I bought a sweatshirt and she got a statue.

After we bought a big bag of cookies and coke and we fed the pigeons for an hour.

Everyone met up and we set off for the train.  It was so insane it was almost funny.  Nobody could figure out where to go.  We finally figured it out and we all said Au Revoir 4 kisses and went our separate ways.

I made it back ok and Colette picked me up.

Tonya called around 9:30 to make sure I was back and we figured out I was at the other station than her.  I burst out into tears and have been crying every since.

Colette doesn't understand.  She keeps saying she isn't dead you know but Tonya is my only real friend in France.  I gotta get control of myself.  I am going to get sick if I'm not careful.

I read my millions of letters but I just want to go home. I'm tired of all this. My system is all screwed up. My period is 13 days late. I've never been this late before . I think maybe if I just sleep I'll be ok.  I don't know.  Only 4 days left.  I gotta make it...happily.

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...
