Sunday, September 18, 2016 – Sunday, a day a rest, Jim & Betty Leave for home

Today was a good day of rest and recuperation after a fun week of wall-to-wall work, historic site seeing and tours. After this morning’s church meetings we took it easy for the rest of the day. Not only did our guests Jim & Betty Burk need the break but so did Sis. Johnson and I.

Late this afternoon we were off to Ft. Madison, Iowa to the Amtrak Station. According to their ticket, Pam’s parents, Jim & Betty Burk needed to be there an hour and a half early. I don’t know why Amtrak wanted them there so early; the station was open but unstaffed. For the next hour and fifteen minutes we were the only people there. Fortunately, we had our “Yahtzee” game in the car so we kept ourselves busy playing Grandma Burk’s favorite game. And of course, Grandma won, she always wins!

We’ve had a wonderful week with Sis. Johnson’s parents. We did it all, we saw it all and we ate it all! We are sorry to see them go but this was the first time they’ve ever been to Nauvoo. They really enjoyed everything here, seeing all of the historic sites and taking the tours.
