08/09/86 Samedi (Saturday) Trip to Honfleur

Ca Va!
The day passed rather quickly. Tony'as host mother called this morning and talked with Colette. They worked it out so that I can stay with them for a few days. An answer to my prayers once again.
We traveled to Honfleur today after lunch. We ate dinner at the same place we always eat when we are here. It was nice. We also had drinks at a cafe before. I am really tired but relieved to know I will kill a few days at Tonyas. I'm not sure how long we are here or how long I'll stay at Tonya's but it feels good to be away.

I have got to work on not eating as much. My pants are so tight! I did pretty good today. I ate less at the restaurant then last time. It was so hard because they eat so slow! I enjoy eating and running.

I don't know what to bring back for everyone. It is so difficult. And who do I bring back for? I cashed my don't touch unless emergency $50 today for my trip back from L'Aigle. I hope I can make it the week after all this fun. I'm so glad this worked out. At least it is supposed to work out!I'll keep praying. Only thing is now I may miss church. I wanted to go. Well we'll see. No major upsets today.

Colette still can't drive and I don't think she likes me much but that's ok because I don't like her much either. She is very 2 faced. Decide too. And thiefs and they like it . Yuk!

Bon Soir
Bon Nuit

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...

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!

08/23/25 Organ

The Washington First Ward Building was sold to the City of Washington. Part of my responsibilities included dispensing of the organ and pianos in the building (along with other things). It is an Allen, approximately 1970s. I put the organ up on the auction. There were a couple of other people that were bidding on it, but I ultimately won the bid (for under $100). On the day I won the bid I was able to arrange a mover!!! I paid $250 to have someone from the piano store move it to our house (I have no idea how he managed to get that into the back bedroom....but he did it!!!) Then, it wouldn't work. 😭 I waited for approximately 6 weeks before a guy (who had to be 80 years old) came down from SLC and repaired the organ. (So the organ wasn't actually broken, it had to do with the electricity and the house talking nicely to one another.) It took him a couple of hours to figure it out. He charged about $200 and voila! I have a working church organ. Cool, eh? Now, I got...
