HOW wonderful! <br />I missed this post and was totally confused and wondered if I had somehow gone wrong and ended up in old posts..but no, it's recent. How neat!<br /><br />Cindy..you don't have an email address? I hate taking up so much comment space..on things other than your post. I searched all over the place..but didn't see a contact place. <br />I guess we just don't have pumpkins here like that. I've given up looking. I thought perhaps you had used scewers of some sort..<br />They do look heavy though.<br />Hugs to you..and I LOVE seeing photo's of you. I visit Janes blog often. She is a cutie!<br />Hugs,<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-17925524729307967252011-10-18T20:04:23.581-05:002011-10-18T20:04:23.581-05:00The B & B is beautiful, inside and out!

Ohhh, OK! lol<br /><br />My hubby and I go to Galena at least once every couple of years. I am familiar with all the places you mentioned. Fried Green Tomatoes has the best Italian food, don't they? Vinny Vanucchi's is pretty darn good, too.

I'd love to stay here again...do you think the same owner is there? December is so up in the air with our 25th anniversary. The kids keep talking "Surprise Party!" That's nice...when? But if we get together, I would love to go to Galena again.

I've been lucky to meet one fellow Oregon blogger, hope to meet more. I travel to Atlanta this winter ... those Atlanta gals are something else.
