Monday, Aug. 15, 2016 – Work, Jacob & Wendy leave, “Rendezvous in Old Nauvoo”

While our son Jacob, his wife Wendy and their family packed and prepared to leave, Sis. Johnson and I did our morning chores on the grounds of the Visitor’s Center and at the Bushnell House. While Sis. Johnson was cleaning and blowing the sidewalks I was fertilizing the planters and flower beds. Last week, Richard Hancock FM’s Horticulturalist, gave us a 50# bag of fertilizer to apply to all 50 of the planters as well as all of the flower beds. 

 About the time Sis. Johnson and I finished our morning work; Jacob & Wendy were packed and ready to go.  We said our final goodbyes. It’s hard to have them leave; we’ve enjoyed their stay so much.  They hope to be back in Mesa, AZ by Wednesday evening.

 

Well, now that our family has left, it’s back to our regular duties and assignments.  This evening we performed in “Rendezvous in Old Nauvoo.” Normally we put on two shows per night, one at 7:00PM and the other at 8:15PM.  However, tonight for the first time since May, the first show wasn’t completely full so we didn’t have a seconds show. Summer is winding down and there aren’t as many visitors to Historic Nauvoo. We may still have some nights with two shows, like around Labor Day, but tonight was the first time in over three months without two shows.
