07/26/86 Samedi (Saturday) Half-way!

Je t'aime moi non plus! That means I love you, me I don't. Great, huh?

I'm gonna say it when I'm confused or when I love something and I hate it - like this trip! I had a real nice day. Decide and I sat around after breakfast and lunch singing songs from the album Je t'aime noi non plus into the tape recorder. Mostly love for sale.

Then Colette drove us to Chantilly and we all walked around until 8:00. Now we'll wait until about 10 for chicken. We talked a lot about love today. Also French men. He says frenchmen are becoming more feminine and creative. He said he loves everything and is in love with different people in different ways. Also he says that the French religion is literature, art and music. French people hate American TV & Reagan and they love American movies.

Decide says I should take longs walks through the country and find a friend and go and discovery Paris. I think it would be fun but I'm afraid I would get lost and not find my way back. I really wish I had someone to buddy around with always.

Decide si great but he's only here sometimes, ya know?

I had a great day and now I feel like crying. I'm so homesick. In one week we are going somewhere?

Bonsoir
Bonnuit
Dormi Bien!

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...

12/25/25 Griffin Christmas Party

Our annual Griffin Family Christmas Party - we had turkey, ham, potatoes, Laura's famous gingerbread cookies and so many other delicious treats. We did our favorite things gift exchange (everyone brings an item valued at $25 that they love. Then all the gifts are placed in the middle of the room. Everyone is given a # from 1 - however many people there are. Then one by one everyone picks a present. It can then be stolen away (up to 2Xs) or a new gift can be selected until everyone has had a turn and all steals are exhausted. We do this instead of buying gifts for everyone in the family. Super fun to see what people love and to steal away the gifts! haha Aj, Eldon, Andy, Michael, Ben, Aiden Diane, Shelly, Wendy, Aaron, Laura, Katie Erik, Holly, Chip, Granpa, Beau Daxton, Abby, Rory
