08/12/86 Mardi (Tuesday) Liseux

Got up around 9 and ate and dressed quickly. Then I went on another shopping excursion. I found some mugs that say bonjour for 11F50 so I bouth 6 . Also some candies for inside. I still want to get 3 cidre and fomage and t-shirts or something for Becky and Ruth. I'll see how much I have left after that for whoever else. It is so difficult to get something for everybody cause you always forget somebody!

We ate lunch at a real neat restaurant. We had salad and ice cream again. Very good.

Colette is becoming quite a thief - a petty thief. She stole bread and the menu.

After Liseux - that's where we went today - we went shopping and she ate stuff through the store and never paid for them. I can't believe it.

Liseux is realyl neat. I would love to spend time there just shopping. it is so nice. We took a train ride and saw all the main points - St Anne's home, cathedral, etc. Very neat.

I enjoyed today lots.

I either go to Tonya's Thursday or Saturday. i hope Saturday so I can stay until next Tuesday (A big market will be there). Then I'll only have 4 or 5 days left at Colette's. Otherwise I'll have 1 week. That is 7 long days! And I don't want to spend any more $ besides necessities and gifts! I just want to get home fast!

Armand remains a sweetie and I really like staying here. Of course it is nice. We'll probably go to the beach tomorrow!! Yea! If not...?

Tonight I watched a polish movie with french captions. Looks like the plans are Tonya's tomorrow or Thursday until Saturday....???

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!
