6/22/86 Leaving

6/22/86 Sunday

I guess I was wrong.  I couldn't hold back the tears and not cry in front of everybody!  When I went to Linda's house yesterday to drop off my address Joe was there.  I couldn't help it - the tears fell.  He was a great help but I only saw him for a couple of minutes. Then we said goodbye.  He promised he would write.  I sure hope he does!

The cry was good because I was fine saying goodbye to all the neighbors and Rob and Tammy.  We drove up to CW Post -- the longest hottest awfullest ride I've taken in awhile!  It was a bit less then fun.  When we finally got here I had a miserable tension headache and pressured ears and I had to cry again.

I said goodbye and have kind of withdrawn from all activity since then.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better.  I did meet a few people though.

Oh yeah, another thing that happened yesterday, I took the car out and it died while I was at the meat store.  Overheated.  The day before we had gone to Great Adventure and the tire went flat. I was pretty upset about all of that!

I guess the next few weeks will be really tuff but I'm gonna try my darnedest to make this all work!

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

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. )

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

  I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas).  The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66.  Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!!  What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!
