08/10/86 Dimanche (Sunday) Another day in Honfleur and enjoying the beach

Ca va!
I am really enjoying being here in Honfleur. Everything seems to go quicker and smoother and Colette doesn't flip out!

This morning I went for a 1.5 mi walk shopping for gifts for when I go home. I found a cute little picture frame with a saying on it in French on how to make a good day . It was 60F. I really like it.

There is a place down the street to get cidre for 3F50. I want to get 3 or 4 bottles but I'm afraid they'll be too heavy to carry home.

After my shopping excursion we went for lunch at AuOars Normand. We ate lunch for 2 hours. It was 435 F which is close to $70!

I ate poisson du filet with Normandie sauce. It was great. Also vegetables and french fries and apple cider and an apple tart. No I am not losing weight this way - just passing time.

After pigging out we went to the beach and exposed our flab! Colette changed clothes right on the beach. not me. I found a scummy smelly toilet room and changed. It is true most people don't wear tops and if they do they are so tiny they might as well not!It was nice. We spent about 3 hours on the beach. Don't know what we are doing this evening. I imagine just watching TV and eating. Possibly go for a walk.

Eat day brings me closer to getting out of this country. I can't wait. I just don't know what to bring back for everybody.

Well enough - I watched a German talking movie translated to French - still no English!

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. )

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...

10/10/95 Journal Entry - Still no house!!!! But feeling blessed

10/10/95 Still no house - maybe this week. Haha. Money ran out of the last issue on the people right before us. More money may come in at a lower rate. We'll have to see. Dallas is really growing up in a hurry. He is crawling very well on his knees, standing up on things and moving while holding furniture. He's been really fussy this past week. Maybe a cold or teeth. I don't know. I held him on the coucn all night Saturday. he is really a mama's boy and cries when I leave or come in the room. AJ is also growing up fast. He's so independent. He knows what he wants and often gets it. Saturday Gma and Gpa Griffin were leaving to go home and Aj said, "Where are you going?". Grandma says, "Home to Salt Lake City." AJ says, "Ok, just a minute I'll get my shoes on!" He is a really good looking little boy. I sure am lucky to have such a neat family. Andy's been busy training Dean Rock. Last two weeks he do...
