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!

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...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while. We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games. Academia Statue of David A bum shot Kevin and a cello One of the first pianos ever Early pianos Art in the Uffuzi The ceilings!
