More houses of the Spirit

 I bring you to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Swanannoa Valley.  UUCSV as it is known by those who attend.


 There is now a sweet memorial garden in a quiet place under trees.


 The memorial wall has names of people I've known (all but one of them). It doesn't contain names of those who don't have friends/family to post their names.  I see that as a limitation that our diverse geography has created, families live elsewhere, so don't put a name where their loved ones had lived.

    It looks rather charming. I presume he different names on the bricks are those who have donated to the cause.

      Yes, you can have any name put on a brick with your donation!

      I like it too, since it reminds everyone that's the way we (hopefully) live.

      It is, and a little bit cooler in the shad on sunny days. We had a luncheon in the gazebo last week, 6 of us fit nicely at a small table.

      Thanks, I think those who created it have done a good job.
