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.

06/16/25-06/20/25 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...
