 Dear Richard,
 

5 Ojo Inn Bed and Breakfast, Eureka Springs, AR Summer has ended and we've been sitting on our porch watching the leaves change.

For Halloween we handed out candy to over 350 kids. Being an artist's town, both the kids and the parents were in full costume. It was like a walking art show.

Come, relax and get into the holiday spirit with us! Checkout the first annual Sweet Treats Cookie Tour below and enjoy the special recipe we have for you this month.

Our Son's Wedding!
Our son Tom and his bride Jenny
Tom, the youngest of our three children, was married in September to Jenny vonParis. It was a lovely wedding in Salisbury, Maryland.

Tom has been all smiles since they announced their wedding and we understand why. Jenny is a delight. Her family is full of life and laughs and Tom enjoys the love and camaraderie they provide.
