This area has some beautiful churches.<br /><br />Hi Janet,<br />The quilts are even more lovely in person.<br /><br />Hi Brenda,<br />Thank you! I'm happy you found comfort after reading the post.<br /><br />Hi Lynn,<br />That's great that your brother-in-law and daughter work for the Frei Company. I've gone on several tours where the guides have pointed out the beauty and detail of the Frei Company. One guide told us you can tell Frei work from others by the faces.<br /><br />Hi Theresa,<br />You are welcome. I agree; it is comforting and there is a timelessness about light and color. Your comment is lovely!Donna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-86405705339550881392014-08-29T08:30:30.208-05:002014-08-29T08:30:30.208-05:00Thank you for this beautiful post, Donna.

There is something timeless about all that light and color, as if beauty and history and art are coming together and inviting us into their mystery for just this little while.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308569005061192110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-78629480734251959042014-08-25T12:57:15.159-05:002014-08-25T12:57:15.159-05:00What a beautiful post.

She is a mosaicist - and there are some beautiful works of mosaic in a lot of churches too... well especially the New Cathedral. I think the project she has been hired to work on is for a hospital. Of course, all the beautiful 250th anniversary birthday cakes are beautiful too. I don't know if they are doing it in all areas, but I've recently noticed that the big ole gray electrical (? I'm guessing they are electrical for maybe stop lights) boxes that are on the side of roads, are now being painted with beautiful scenes. I think that is really cool. Sending out positive versus negative is always a good, uplifting thing to do!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296300032567383021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-51931217823481025142014-08-22T12:55:31.943-05:002014-08-22T12:55:31.943-05:00What splendid churches you have in MO.
