08/04/86 Lundi (Monday) Paris

I ventured out on my own again!  This time I met Tonya in Paris.  These 2 older guys bought us a drink (coca-cola) and we talked with them until they went back to work.  I got to Paris at one.  3 train transfers!  Luck let me find Tonya in the HUGE station!  I am really enjoying figuring out the system.  Although it is expensive.  I spent my first $100 today which is right on schedule as today was the scheduled day to change my last $50.  (only the banks are closed)

I may go to Versaille sometime this week and Friday Tonya might come here.  I don't know.

After we got rid of those guys we went to McDonald's and walked all around Paris.  We went to LeLouvre and all sorts of neat things.  It was so great just to be out!

We got some chocolate and I was in HEAVEN!

Then we played some more games with the trains and found our way back.  It was so wonderful.

She wants to go to LeLouvre Wednesday and Versaille Thursday but I'm not sure I can afford it - but I think I should go - I don't know.

I finally figured out the train pretty well and with the map I do ok.

Perhaps this is the Lord's way of helping me but I don't know.

I got a letter from Leslie Kunz and Rob.  I figured out all she told me before I got the letter.  I'm glad she wrote though.It is nice to have reassurance.  I guess I really have enjoyed the past week.  I am not sure what do do this week.

Tonya is here and we can do things but I don't know if Colette minds - but I'm only here once - perhaps I should.

Maybe not tomorrow but perhaps Wednesday and Thursday I'll go.  I am really tired!  It is such a great feeling!  Maybe I'll walk and call Tonya so she knows what's going on in my head.

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...

07/10/2025 Dad's Passing

Dad's stay at the care center ended up being 35 days. He had a care giver that really connected with him named Michael. Michael cared for him when he was living at home and then came out a couple of times to the care center before he died. He really appreciated those visits and lit up when Michael came to visit and help care for him. I'm thankful that I was able to see him the two weekends about two weeks before he died. He was still able to smile and sit and eat at that time. I'm so glad that Ruth and Becky were able to take the time and spend quite a bit of time with him the last couple of weeks before he died. His condition continued to deteriorate and it was not easy to see him that way and spend so much time there. But my sisters and Suzanne did what they could to make him comfortable at the end.  He was found dead in his bed on the morning of July 10. Rest in peace, Dad. I love you!

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. )
