The days just keep getting busier here in Carthage. We had two full buses pull up about 30 minutes ahead of schedule this morning. We jumped all over that and got them started to avoid a huge back up. It worked out very well. By noon today, after just 3 hours, we were over 400 guest tours.
Mom and I were both up and ready to get the day going this morning. We had our morning prayers and devotional and started our walk by 6:15am. We decided to take a shorter route, although the morning was cool and clear, just to get to the Visitors Center early and get ready for our guests. I am glad we did and it made the start of the day so much better.
We had a steady flow of visitors throughout the day. I could not believe that it was time to head home at 3:30pm this afternoon! Mom and I had dinner together and then we were able to relax for about an hour and a half. I even got to take a nap!
We had Rendezvous tonight and the play went very well. "Pa" and Jimmie and Marie has been a fun part of the second play for me. I will get to show off my new found "talent" here next week when we have some more family come and visit! We are so anxious to see them!!!
As a side note, this is the second day in a row where we have not had rain. That hasn't happened in quite a while. It is giving the saturated ground an opportunity to dry out. We will have a June 27th commemoration of the martyrdom that will draw over 1,000 guests. We hope the grass area will be dry by then even though the forecast is not so optimistic... Two dry days in a row is such a good start!
Come on cool weather! Keep it up for another couple weeks at least! :) I think your guests are very anxious to see you too!
