Sacramento Cuties/Church in Lodi

These are our California Girls plus D.J. We had a lovely visit with these wonderful ladies and gent, shared a delicious meal and told lots of stories that made each of laugh and glad we were family.
This one is for my quilting sisters. This was hand pieced and made into a block for a potential quilt. When the quilt was not put together, the blocks were given to the girls by their mother (I believe Greatgrandmother, May Donovan, actually made the blocks) and framed as pictures. I believe each of them has 4 blocks. I have been told that this Greatgrandmother could sew,crochet,knit, embroider --in other words was quite a talented little lady.
Sunday morning we traveled to the United Congregational Christian Church in Lodi, CA, not far from where we are camping in Isleton, CA. The Rev. Jack Dawson is the minister of this blended congregation of Discples and Congregational Christians. It was good to be in church, to experience the music and to pray with like-minded folks. But they only do communion on the first Sunday of the month. I missed not taking communion, especially the way we hold the bread and cup and then take it together.
This is a view of the altar (very Californian, I think).

This is the view on one side of the santuary---a wall of windows that look unto a courtyard---very soothing. Well, tomorrow the Happy Travelers will be exploring Napa Valley, so until then. Happy Trails to all of you. Enjoy wherever you may be.
