A Quiz!

So I've been a little lazy about posting. It's been a combination of that late-winter ennui we talked about the other day AND Mr. John sweeping me away for a day and a little more. We went to stay in a small town with a nice hotel with many amenities. We had FIVE CONSECUTIVE MEALS and not ONCE heard, "Why did you make THIS?" "Is there more?" "How much do I have to eat before I get dessert?" and like comments.
Wanna guess where we were? Here are some clues;

A charming street scene in said town.


The home of a very famous former resident.


The view from his porch;




Yes, it was lovely; cold and VERY snowy. We got hit with another of those "surprising" winter storms early this week, as we were on our way out of town. We drove right into the storm, which, thankfully, didn't really HIT until we were sitting in front of the fireplace in our hotel room. We did venture out for dinner; there was no wait for tables!
Answers to the quiz will be received in the comment box; I don't know about prizes. Maybe the satisfaction of guessing? No? Sorry.
More pictures later of the snow; John got some good ones!

I haven't a clue, but I'll guess Eureka, birthplace of Ronaldus Maximus. See you tomorrow! :-)

It DOES end with an "a", and the famous resident WAS a president. But not Ronnie. Sorry, Glenda, you don't win, BUT I WILL see you tomorrow! (Hey, maybe you DO win, after all! ;) )

Galena! (And the famous presidential resident was U.S. Grant.) What's my prize?

(Glad you had a nice time with your honey!)

Your prize is coffee with me on the 8th! IF our schedules work out. And it doesn't snow again. And the bull stays in the pen. And the creek don't run dry. And.....
I really gotta get some prizes...or stop offering them!
