Yesterday Glenn and I spent the day cleaning up the stage and then staining it. Glenn cut off the excess chalking that was used on the seams and I swept up the sawdust. The men cut the wood on the stage so there was sawdust in all the grooves of the wood. The wind was blowing so the dust just kind of swirled around! We stained all but 1/4 of the stage (ran out of paint!). Late in the afternoon as we were starting to moan from the sore muscles and tired backs, here comes one of our favorite temple missionaries, Sister Howard. She brought us each a cup of her famous smoothie! It was so refreshing and more than that, we appreciated the thoughtfulness. While we were visiting with Sister Howard, up comes a pickup with Elder and Sister Bitner. They had finished their work for the day and stopped by to see if they could help us out! We must have looked like we were in pretty bad shape to have all of these kind people come to our rescue! Seriously, we are so blessed to have such wonderful thoughtful friends.

I had a few minutes this afternoon so I headed out with my camera and took some pictures of the fall colors here in Nauvoo. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Comment on both your posts (this one and the "fall colors" one)--you are quite an accomplished photographer! I am really enjoying your photography. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Sounds like you guys are keeping plenty busy - good busy though. Glad you are surrounded by good people to help! We love the falls in the mid-west - they are beautiful! Enjoy!!
I can't believe how beautiful the pictures are that you and dad have been posting here and on e-mails. The one of the temple that dad sent this morning or late last night is good enough to go on a wall!
This is my favorite.... you are quite a photographer!!
