Nauvoo

Nauvoo Temple. This is Sunday afternoon after church meetings. It rained while we were in church but stopped soon after. We were able to attend a session at this temple.

We played some pioneer games.


This is a rocking chair/bench. The baby laid on the one end and mother sat and rocked on the other so she could still sew or mend.


This is the printing press, centre is the furniture, wooden blocks to fill in spaces and borders. The space fillers and marks at the top or bottom of pages are called ding-bats.

Boxes of letters, each letter is in a capartment. The lower set are place like a computor key board with the more common letters together. The Cap letters are in the upper box. This is were we get upper and lower case letters.
The message from the press was we need to watch our P's and Q's.

Love the pictures dad! I still wish the rocking chair was made today - that would have been so helpful! Start up your wood working skills dad and go into business making the chairs.
