07/13/86 Dimanche (Sunday) Strange encounter leads to 15 K walk home

Started out as being a really lousy day - in fact the whole day was lousy!

I studied until lunch and then Decide, Cami and Stephen and I went for a walk. Which was also lousy!

Sometime between 6 and now though, all that changed.

Around 9 when we were about to eat some of Colette's friends dropped by.  They have a boy my age.  They stayed until 11 and invited me to come see them in Paris - which was great - he seems very nice!  So for dinner I was in a good mood and we ate until 12:30 then went down the street to the center of the village to join the National Fete (party)!

It was really great.  everyone was very happy (drunk) and some guy who spoke know English was telling everyone to tell me he loved me and wanted me to come with him for a walk.  Smashed as he was I gladly declined.  About 2:30 the party broke up and we realized we had forgotten to pickup their friend at the train.  So we hurried back to the party.  Some of her (Cami's friends) were there and they were too drunk to drive.  So I drove 7 of us (a no, no!) well, half way to the train but then the owner decided we couldn't use the car anymore.

Stephen got me a flag of France while we waited for the drunks to hobble inside.  Then we crashed an all block party and Cami bummed a ride to the station - only the driver wanted something in return - unfortunately that was me! Well when he stopped the care and we weren't at the train station - or anywhere near it and he started making his moves -- I got out.  Of course he also followed.  We fought a little (his ring came off in the process) and then he returned to the car.  This is at about 5 a.m. He drove us to the station only to find their friend wasn't there anymore.  He decided he was too tired to drive anymore and parked the car. 

I was tired of waiting so I walked the 15K home.  We all met up about 1/2K from home and returned at 8:30 a.m. We were out all night! Totally crazy!  I still have the flag and the ring to show for it.

We had breakfast and then headed to bed. 

I got a chance to meet 4 of the guys who live around here.  I don't know any girls still.  (Well Cami but she lives somewhere else)

1 girl and 7 guys = weird!

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...
