We arrived in Nauvoo about 9:10 am. Elder Thomas drove us and some other missionaries around
Nauvoo. He showed us which home we would be in. Here is our home--
this is what we saw. Scissors Art work from Ada Rigby isn't that the coolest thing. Who would know we would be in a place that a Blanding person's art work would be. I will show some more pictures.
We have 3 Magnolia Trees in our back yard.
This is the front of the house. Yes we have a lot of steep steps to climb. I hope this will keep my weight down since I gained in the MTC. We have a basement and that is were the washer and dryer are but we do have a fairly good size bathroom down there. Here are some pictures of the inside.
Our Front room- Nice Home
Our Kitchen - pretty good size, the table is opposite the cupboards.
Our stairs that go's up stairs to 2 bedrooms and a small bathroom.
This is our bedroom, it is really very nice big room.
Our small bathroom the tub/shower to the right.
This is the extra bedroom- I took Jed's quiet with us so we could give it back
to him when he comes to visit us since he only lives 5 hours away in Wisconsin.
This is the back door and yard, although we have a big back yard. We are wondering if we have to mow this whole thing. I understand we only have to mow around the house and the FM will mow the rest, I hope.
Very cute Bev! It looks bigger than that house I lived in in Logan with 5 girls! You and Jim should be ok ;)
ReplyDeleteLoni and JB, I just thought you would enjoy knowing that Winslow Farr's home we are in, his wife's name was Olive. They have a book here so we can read about the couple that built and lived in this home. It was restored so it would look like a Nauvoo home. It is a cute little home. I am amazed that you had 5 girls living in a home as small as this one but we do enjoy our home.Good to hear from you. love ya Dad & Mom. When you write to us be sure you don't send letters to Grandpa & Grandma Harris, we won't get them. We work really hard to call each other Elder and Sister no Brother Harris. Good-Night!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was very interesting to see one of Ada's paper cuttings right there in Nauvoo! It looks like a wonderful mission.
