07/28/86 Lundi (Monday) Trying to be optimistic

I stayed up until 2 a.m. or later translating things to say when I called the church office. I had a ral hard time getting to sleep. 

At 6:30 a.m. Doug called just to say hi and see how I was and tell me he loved me and everybody else also loved me and missed me.

Colette was a little upset but it made me feel good. 

I didn't wake up until 11. 

Today I've been feeling a little better.  I tried calling 2X to the church but no answer. 

Tomorrow we are leaving for Holland/Belguim unless it storms.  I don't know if we're going somewhere today.  It is 3.  Also very warm and sunny and nice. 

I can't think because it makes me want to cry and be home.  I can't concentrate on my history.  I've been trying but my mind keeps wondering to hoe and Joe and Rob and everybody at home.

Decide said time was just something you passed in one place or another.  Right now he says I'm playing with time and that I'm here but I'm also very much in America.  How I wish I was all in America.  I'm afraid things will have changed and I won't fit in or something.  I hope this month goes FAST - PLEASE!

I'm afraid of going to Belgium - living in a car? Not understanding Colette. 

I have to finish this history.  Really has been getting to me.  Maybe today I'll try to finish 4 - 8 then I'll be on my way to completion.  That's my goal for today.

I complete my goal for today and some besides!

Colette had an accident so we aren't going to Holland after all.

I got a hold of the church office and thank goodness the lady spoke English.  She said she'd see what they could do.  I told her I wouldn't be here this week so I won't find out anything until Saturday I guess - I don't know. 

I have to find some way to make this easier on myself.  now I'm going full force into finishing my history assignment so if something great comes up I can take party and not worry, ya know?

Perhaps from no on I'll write only a page a day, then I won't have to buy a new book.  One more day down, 32 to do.  I have to do it!

Bon Soir
Bon Nuit
Dormi Bein
Cava? Oui CaVa!

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!
