It has been fun hosting (Brother) Roy and Janeen from Kansas. Not ever having been in Nauvoo, they are sponges...trying to do and learn all - in a short few days. We were invited to the Willard Richards home (restored to a beautiful B&B) by innkeeper..our friend Karen Haering. She gave R&J a great tour of the rooms and artifacts, while JoAnn and I set a dinner table...salmon, fresh garden beans and salads. Tomorrow they continue touring. We will go to Carthage. Thanks all who have called and written - we love encouraging family letters!
Well, there you have it. We were along the Mississippi River for a week visiting my brother, saw the bass fishermen casting into the lily pads, and ate salmon. I never fished! The last time I visited him was in Spokane, and he took me on a small lake in a rowboat, where we caught plenty of large trout on lures, and I wrote this reflection: http://www.cantos.org/sermoncitos/fishing.html
