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!

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!
