Another typical day here in Nauvoo. We had our workout this morning after our devotional and prayers. Our walk was brisk and Fall is in the air. There was possibility of rain today and that came at around 4:00pm. Both mom and I walked to our sites for the late shift. We both worked the 12 noon to 5:00pm shift. We had the most refreshing air this evening as we were walking home! The rain had come and gone and it was a wonderful walk home!
Mom had the shift in the Lyon Drug store and I worked at the Family Living center. I had to take this picture of mom behind the counter of the Apothecary. She is holding an 1840's toothbrush. These were so expensive, that one toothbrush was shared by the entire family! Who wants to be first to brush their teeth? There was probably no hesitation on that chore at night.... at least for the first taker!

I worked at the Family Living Center and we had quite a few guests come in. One family was especially interesting. They were coming through Nauvoo from Hawaii on their way to General Conference. I got to talk to them about Longs Drug Stores and we became instant friends! That was fun and we had a good time talking about rope making and pottery making and barrel making while they were there. They even invited me to come and visit them in Hawaii! .... wait a minute, they didn't give me their name or address....
Oh well, another great day in Nauvoo!
