08/11/86 Lundi (Monday) More Honfleur and Deauville Beach

Ca Va!

Really enjoy staying here.  Everybody is so much more pleasant.  Armand is the sweetest kindest most giving person I have met.  She would give her shirt and shoes and everything for anybody else.  Colette is less of a spazz although when she drives she is still stupid but Armand always watches out for our safety with "Attend!" (Attention)  We (Armand and I) ate breakfast together and then I dressed and ran to the post office.

I walked around through the shops but the ones I wanted to go to were closed so I came back.  Before lunch we walked around a bit and fed the sea gulls then ate a rather short lunch.  Only an hour.  We were going to go to Liseaux butthe weather got nice so we went to Deauville and that's the nice beach.  It was a little chilly for swimming so I just laid in the sand.  Then we walked the boards (no stores but 1 here and there- we came home and made dinner.

It was so relaxing and nice here.  I am still restless for return to home but I can almost tolerate the days and sometimes even enjoy the days here.

I hope to make this vacation last as long as possible so I have to spend as few days at Colette's as possible.

My history is all I worry about there.  I don't even miss not getting my mail because there is usually something else to keep me semi happy.

Dieting is impossible as hard as I try but hopefully this gross appetite will go away when I get home.

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!
