08/02/86 Samedi (Saturday) Lazy Saturday

I got up and started making my breakfast when Colette came in and game me a necklace that says AFS.  (AFS is the name of the program that I came to France with) It is really nice.  I was surprised. (pleasantly!) 

We went shopping and I think we are back to old Saturday nothing. 

She said if I got the address of the church she would go with me.  I'll wait until 9 tonight and then call.  I really want to go.  Collette doesn't like Isabel but she said I could call her if I wanted to do something.  I don't think Isabell likes Colette either.  I wonder if Colette doesn't like me.  Oh well, doesn't matter anyway!

It is chilly today.  I think I'l put on a sweatshirt and go read outside. I didn't sleep good last night and now I'm exhausted!  I'll continue writing later.

My sweatshirt turned into a bathing suit and I roasted in the hot sun until 6 p.m. Colette and I then walked down to the farm and got eggs, milk and cottage cheese.  On the way back we stopped at her friend's house and they talked until after 8.  I have been trying to call church since 8:50 and noone answers the phone.  Colette even said she'd drive me but I have no address.  I am really losing it.  I thought I had it all together but if I don't get a response tonight I am gonna fall apart again. I'm gonna pray and then go down and try again.

Prayers are answered!!!  I'm really going to get to church!!! I called the mission home and talked to Elder Wells who told me to call Elder Drake and Elder Tron.  Thy are going to meet me at the station and give me french books and be my friends! 

I am so glad!  I'm really gonna go to church and have friends now.  My goals are becoming easier.  Praying really works!  I have to thank the Lord again! I'm so happy I could cry1 

From now on I'm gonna try to pray more often for better reasons.  I really am gaining a testimony of prayer!

Bon Soir, Bon Nuit

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...

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. )

07/10/2025 Dad's Passing

Dad's stay at the care center ended up being 35 days. He had a care giver that really connected with him named Michael. Michael cared for him when he was living at home and then came out a couple of times to the care center before he died. He really appreciated those visits and lit up when Michael came to visit and help care for him. I'm thankful that I was able to see him the two weekends about two weeks before he died. He was still able to smile and sit and eat at that time. I'm so glad that Ruth and Becky were able to take the time and spend quite a bit of time with him the last couple of weeks before he died. His condition continued to deteriorate and it was not easy to see him that way and spend so much time there. But my sisters and Suzanne did what they could to make him comfortable at the end.  He was found dead in his bed on the morning of July 10. Rest in peace, Dad. I love you!
