April cruising

I've just had a wonderful holiday in USA.. Cruising the Mississippi River for 6 days on the American Queen paddle steamer....visiting an Amish community in Ohio.. And ending up at  Paducha, for Quilt week!....   Of course My Natures Journey blocks came too.. And therefore April is complete.
