I needed some rest and to get a minor repair done on the car, so I got reservations at Travis AFB, half way between Sacramento and San Francisco. I will be picking up a girlfriend from the SFO airport on the 15th. Much to my delight, the Jelly Belly Factory is next door to Travis and that's the first place I went.

Free Factory Tours! |
|
How do you like this bike? |
|
Welcome! |
|
Chandelier with beans! |
|
Even the pizza is bean shaped! |
|
Hello Skylar! |
|
Reagan is not the only one! |
|
Everyone had to put on a hat! |
|
No photos during the tour, but I got
this one on the way out. |
|
Ice Cream snack, yes,
in Jelly Belly flavors.
It was a fun day. |
|
Now this is different! |
The closest Buick Dealer is in Vacaville so I visited a church while I waited. Got more done on the car than I had planned and it's all for the good.
|
Reach for the sky! |
|
Modern stained glass |
|
Looking to the back. |
|
Looking to the side. |
|
They covered up the stained glass. |
|
Rug in front of the altar. |
|
Are we replacing stained glass
with electronics? It's not only
this church that I've seen it. |
|
Love the collection buckets for name tags. |
|
Here is some stained glass. |
|
And a little bit more.
All in all, it's still holy
and it's the people that
make it so. |
On Friday, May 10th, I inquired if the Base Chapel was doing anything special for Mother's Day on Sunday. They said no, but tonight the Protestant men are holding a dinner to honor the mothers and we would be glad to have you! I said yes, made my reservation and went! I had to laugh because being Episcopal, I think I could go Protestant or Catholic and be very holy with either worship.
|
The fellowship hall is on the left. People were at the door to greet the Mothers.
The photos I took of the dinner in the Fellowship Hall didn't come out. |
|
The windows on your right
look into the fellowship hall. |
|
Yes, they have it too. |
|
This is no ordinary skylight. |
|
Because these windows are there.
Photography only showed the light
in my picture on the left. |
|
Looking at the altar. |
|
On each side of the altar. |
On Mother's Day I bought myself a flower and treated myself with a Cinnabun. Since the Protestant Men had honored us, I went to the Protestant Worship at the First Street Chapel.
|
Carnation for Mom |
|
I received a Starbucks gift card at
the Mother's Day Dinner. Good
with my Cinnabun! |
|
The Roses lined the sidewalk all
the way to First Street. |
|
Courtyard between the buildings. |
|
Nice vestibule with clear glass.
I got there early and it was fun
to see people I had met Friday. |
|
Carnations for Moms |
|
Looking in. Both churches are set
to serve both Protestant
and Catholic families. |

Complimentary but not alike. |
