The height of summer activity ended Saturday night, with the Nauvoo Pageant's last performance. For the missionaries it means no more security parking duty, which we did on Saturday night. Next week we dance our last Sunset performances, and life will return to normal. Here are some of the things I saw this week:
These photos don't show up unless you can enlarge them. To the left of the lamplight you can see the streams of mayflies. I'm sorry the birds do show up better, but believe me, hundreds were flying around the compound, along with millions of mayflies.

| Followed by hundreds of swallows to eat them. |

I thought I'd better take a photo of the temple from the FM compound while the leaves were on the trees.

We water every morning M-F at 6:00 AM on Mulholland Street. Sorry to wake the folks in the Wilford Woodruff Inn, but it is the best time to do it.

On Saturday we went with Nauvoo on the Road to another Thresher convention. This one was in Hamilton, the next town south of Nauvoo. It was an extremely busy day, and lots of fun. We were set up next to the animals and the corn husking equipment, which the children could work.

We hurried home from Hamilton and grabbed some dinner at our favorite restaurants Nauvoo food truck. Then went to the pageant to do parking security. Busy day, a joy to serve.
This is a really needed addition to Nauvoo. Until Mi Camino Real appeared there was no where to find a good dinner at a reasonable price.
