June is Ending

We hadn't been to the Sacred Grove for awhile so Sunday after Church we went over. It is so beautiful and this week the weather has been wonderful, in the 70's. Looks a lot different from when we first arrived.



On Thursdays Paul has been mowing the field for the Amsden's. This week the geese joined him and did not seem to be too concerned with him being there.




They have started to put up the stage for the Pageant. This is the second stage. First they put up the towers, now they are moving the steel stage parts to the walkways and within 2 1/2 days it will be up. All of this is stored in about 10 semi trailers.





As I think about it I believe we have been a little busy of late. Last Tuesday we moved from Zion's Camp to the Palmyra Inn for a month.




Before we left you can see that on P-Day some of our group take it easy, Neil Decker taking a quick catnap in his hamock. Earl Thrift had his corvet brought over from Texas, but the rain storms make him a little nervous so he pulls it under the pavillion when it starts to storm. We generally have some hail with our storms.





Today we stopped to help a Cub Scout Troop with a car washing project. We had to go up the street and get our towel out to finish the job.



The Palmyra Ward puts on a musical called "From Cumorah's Hill" the two Sundays of Pageant. It is really beautiful and I get to sing in it. They usually have about 1500 people to Church on that day. They have the sacrament and then the musical program.

Have a great week and enjoy the 4th of July. The temple is open for two sessions at 9 and 11 and then the temple missionaries are having a traditional picnic and hopefully we will find some fireworks later in the evening.

We love checking your blog and enjoy your pictures and journal entries. Your comments bring back wonderful memories for us as we went to Palmyra 2 summers ago and enjoyed our stay very, very much. The pageant will bring so many people your way! Enjoy!
