Nauvoo

Happy Mothers Day to all.
Sherri Dew spoke at Relief Society this morning. She said that she felt impressed to tell us that "your mother loves you." When she said that I felt my own mothers love so powerfully-as if she was right next to me. It was so special and wonderful.

I need to say that there is a way to travel with your kids without having them quarrell, whine, cry, complain, etc. Just wait for them all to become adults. Imagine a trip where everyone got along!!!

This picture is inside Patty Sessions log cabin. It is very small and not open to to public. I was content to just see the outside of it, but we were visiting the restored drug store next door. A missionary asked us if we were related to anyone who had lived in Nauvoo. When I said Patty Sessions, she said "Then you need to see the inside." She got the key and we were able to go in and take this picture. I loved it.
I really doubt that Patty Sessions actually lived in this cabin much because it is so small. I suspect it was just where she lived when she first arrived in Nauvoo. Norma thinks she actually lived in another settlement. I will research it more.

Annie got very sick on Thursday. I was sad she was so sick, but I felt like the Lord really blessed us because we were through with our sightseeing and she didn't get sick until we got to the hotel. Tender mercies. We called a doctor friend who called in a prescription that would help her make it home. It was a wonderful trip, but it is good to be home.
