07/19/86 Samedi (Saturday) Pierrefond Le Chateau and fighting sickness

My stomach is feeling better.  I was sick only 2X more during the night.  Of course how could I get sick - nothing else left in my belly to get rid of!

It is so stupid to get up early here.  They stay up until 11 or 12 or 1 and then stay in bed until 10 or later.  I have the hardest time sitting around watching TV I don't understand so I either sleep 10 to 10 or else get up early and have to be real quiet and wait until Collette gets up to take my bath.  Yuk either way!  I miss camp!

Today we went to see Pierrefond Le Chateau.  A huge castle.  It was okay.  I wouldn't want to live in any castles I've seen here though - HUGE PLAIN and COLD.  YUK!

I am still getting sick.  3X more today.  Just a few minutes ago.  Gross! I'm not sure what from.  Oh well.  College wants me to go to the dr's.  She doesn't even know I've been getting sick - she thinks I've got a cold and asthma!

Today was pretty good.  I got a letter from Karen and Andrea!  Made my day even better!

Hopefully tomorrow we'll go to church.  Je ne sais pas!

Nothing new - Market, pharmacy, no hamburgers today or last night!!!!  (But 3 or 4 in the fridge -- vomit!)

Bonsoir - bonnnuit
dormi bien!

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...

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!

08/23/25 Organ

The Washington First Ward Building was sold to the City of Washington. Part of my responsibilities included dispensing of the organ and pianos in the building (along with other things).  It is an Allen, approximately 1970s.  I put the organ up on the auction. There were a couple of other people that were bidding on it, but I ultimately won the bid (for under $100). On the day I won the bid I was able to arrange a mover!!! I paid $250 to have someone from the piano store move it to our house (I have no idea how he managed to get that into the back bedroom....but he did it!!!) Then, it wouldn't work. 😭 I waited for approximately 6 weeks before a guy (who had to be 80 years old) came down from SLC and repaired the organ. (So the organ wasn't actually broken, it had to do with the electricity and the house talking nicely to one another.) It took him a couple of hours to figure it out. He charged about $200 and voila! I have a working church organ.  Cool, eh?  Now, I got...
