Kandy Kitchen
Just when I felt too grown-up, too full of angst and too busy for magic, magic found me. It found me on Night of Luminaria in Galena, Illinois. The sidewalk below our second floor table at Fried Green Tomatoes overflowed with carolers, musicians and pedestrians with smiling faces. Shop, restaurant and hotel windows of the 19th century buildings on Main Street were filled with nostalgic holiday decorations and lights. Luminaries lined side streets, stairways, bridges and the river walk. I melted into the glow of its magic.

Thanks Jacqueline. It really was lovely.
Wow!! Never been to Galena at Christmastime. Now I want to go up there and look at all the neat things. Happy New Year!
