07/10/86 Jeudi (Thursday) Beach and Chinese Food in Trouville

I finally made it to the real beach - with sand, boardwalk and water. And it RAINED! And it was FREEZING! So we walked the boards in the rain. I love it!

When we were so cold and wet that we couldn't stand it anymore we went back to the car.

And then something so amazing and unbelievable happened - I ate Chinese Food! Not just the side stuff for people who don't like Chinese - but real Chinese menu food. I had little ravioli noodles w/who knows what inside as an appetizer and then chicken and veggies in curry. Also rice dessert was the greatest. I had apple something and it was little apple rings with crepes or something on top. Yum!

After lunch we walked all through Trouville. We saw an aquarium then went to Cote de Grace. It is a neat little cathedral church. Had dinner here - Pizza! And watched TV again.

Reeally great day (would have been great to go swimming but...)

Picked up some hitchers today from Holland who are touring France by hitchhiking around -- Cool!!!
Bonsoir

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...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while. We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games. Academia Statue of David A bum shot Kevin and a cello One of the first pianos ever Early pianos Art in the Uffuzi The ceilings!

07/28/25 MRI interpretation

Andy had an MRI but to get a surgeon to interpret it was going to be a long wait...like 6 weeks. Andy has a friend who works in radiology. He had Andy over to his office and explained what was going on with Andy's back. He said the two places where Andy had previous surgeries were showing problems just above the surgery (apparently common but nobody told Andy that originally). He had a third spot that was also degenerating. So lower, mid and upper spine all have issues. We are trying the spinal decompression route currently in hopes of avoiding surgery. These spinal issues are probably the reason for many of Andy's other ailments.
