Woke up to an eerie foggy morning and a
giant spider web outside our back door!
Had Ken stand in front of it so I could photograph it better
No way I was getting that close to it! Yikes!
Here's a close up of the giant bugaboo!!
And then we found ANOTHER giant spider web
in a different tree!
After escaping the spiders we took off for
Granville, Ohio!
Our First trip there. Gorgeous little town!!
Lots of great looking restaurants - we finally decided
on Moe's BBQ. Great BBQ and the
best baked beans I've ever had!
We had heard that Aladdin's had the best pie so
we stopped there after shopping but alas they
had closed at 2pm so no pie for us. :(
Beyond these doors lies "Green Velvet".
A beautiful shop!
The owner - Elizabeth Stutzman was so friendly and allowed
me to take photos! (Click on the photo of the green doors
to visit her website!)
130 East Broadway, Granville, OH 43023
Luxurious and very grand!
Best husband in the world sitting and waiting
patiently for me as I
darted in and out of shops.
Bright and lovely entrance way.
Awesome metal switch plates!
Stopped here for some good chocolates!
The Buxton Inn where you can spend
the night.
Beautiful landscaping everywhere
you look.
Reminds me of Charleston.
Old Colony Burying Grounds
The gates were locked but we found a
section of fence that was torn down so
I snuck in to check out the tombstones.
Hubby stayed behind in case I got arrested
so he could bale me out... At least that's
what he said. I personally think graveyards
scare him...
All of the tombstones I saw
were from the 1800's! Beautiful
headstones with very personal writings.
This one said "TO DIE IS GAIN"
