We always enjoy going to Nauvoo and helping with the pageant. They call it "security", but that really just means that we help people cross the road from the parking area. Of course, Kevin got to have a two-way radio, and a hand-held stop sign. And we had those cool flash lights with the long orange cone. Official!We got to be located at the spot where the "friendlies" stand and pass out their anti-Mormon tracts. Our job? To not let them impede traffic. To not engage in gospel discussions with them. To keep the pageant-goers from getting too involved.

We actually had some nice, brief chats with them.

Friendly. About the weather, or "where are you from?"-type chats.

And the weather couldn't have been more perfect.

Cool. Some sunshine. Low humidity.

I LOVED it!

And, just a bonus:

a shot of how my corn stands up now. No matter which way the wind is blowing. And tassles are coming out on top. Despite being laid down flat THREE times this season, despite having the lower leaves shredded with hail, it just might make us some ears of corn!

Maybe.
