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.

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head". I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time. Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class. We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!! Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10. I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting. But first...this picture...It just kills me! When church is just too much! Haha. I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel. But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?) (And he is 10 years old). Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
