08/06/86 Mercredi (Wednesday) Paris again - Le Louvre

I feel like I have jet lag again - I am exhausted!  I had such a great day.  I ventured on my own again into Paris and by a small miracle Tonya and I caught up with each other.  Then we walked and walked and walked - right pas the Louvre!  Way past LeLouvre!

We sat down on some church steps and ate our bag lunches and then started back tracking.

Decide saw us and that is amazing!  In all of Paris and we run into each other.  He drank some coke with us while we walked the many blocks back.  Then we went in and he went elsewhere.  It is so big!  We took 1 1/2 hour guided tour and saw all the famous stuff then wandered around for another 1 1/2 hour through the rooms.  It was hot.  And so crowded.  I really enjoyed it though.  After we walked to Notre Dame Cathedral and walked through we were so tired and a long way from the metro.

We finally found the metro and had the wrong tickets.  After awhile we finally got squared away and we hugged and parted.  Sad.  She probably isn't coming over.

Too much to work out but she is gonna try to work it so I can come over to her house.  Who knows?!

Aug 25 I leave here.  2/3 finished this adventure.  I have enjoyed it much recently but I'm going broke quick!  I have only $32 left.  Oh well.  I gotta stop spending for awhile.  I am so tired I can hardly see so Goodnight!

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!
