07/31/86 Jeudi (Thursday) Found an American type store

Ca Va? Oui, Ca Va!
Now it really is the last day of July!  Pretty good day too. After breakfast I vacuumed and started some history.  Colette said we were going to a store and out to lunch -- so I grabbed my purse and figured we'd be back by 2.  Well - the store was great!  Like America or something! I loved it!  Automatic doors and huge isles.  We ate in the cafeteria.  It had a squiggly line to the cafeteria like and amusement park.  Colette was totally lots!  I laughed!  They don't usually have those here.  She couldn't believe they had paper napkins!  So for 3 hours I felt like I was at home and Colette felt out of place. 

After we went to see her pony.  Spent a couple hours.  The pony is really pretty.  No major upsets or happenings as of yet.  Just a really nice day. 

Colette and I have even been talking a bit. 

I came home and wrote Simkins and Rob.  I love Mrs S letters.  She always puts in info about home - not stuff that makes me feel homesick and she doesn't ask how's this and that and not tell me how she is.  It is cool.  And I'm never expecting them - they are always a surprise!

My history is really difficult now.  Not only am I tired of doing it but I can't find much of whats left to find!  Oh well.

I'm taking this one day at a time.  Today was really nice.  The weather was chilly!  About 70 degrees and not much sun.  Yesterday was 86, now 70. Insane! 

We made dinner together and watched another great movie with Jane Fonda. 

Then we did dishes together. Amazing.  The two of us talked.  Even at lunch we were talking. 

Tonight I really saw the Eiffle tower and the lights great.  It is so beautiful!  Perhaps praying is really helping.  Things have been good this week. Really good and gone fast.  And I haven't been bored.  Maybe if I keep trying really hard to communicate this will be more fun.  I enjoy having an hour to myself before going to bed to write in my journal, exercise, read the scriptures and fall asleep after praying and listening to my tapes.  It's nice.

Bon Nuit
Bon Soir
Dormi Bien!

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head".  I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time.  Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class.  We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!!  Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10.   I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting.  But first...this picture...It just kills me!  When church is just too much! Haha.  I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel.  But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?)  (And he is 10 years old).  Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
