Somewhere up and over the hills and across the river in Renton, WA, beyond the golf course, around several curvy roads and just past the piney woods ...Please don't get lost and by the way, GPS won't help you very much! Thank you for not giving up, you're almost there ... Thank you!

If you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager (or similar photo management program), you can try to resize the picture or compress the picture so that it occupies less file space. In MS Office, you would find this option under the "edit pictures" tab, which opens up a side window. There you will find "change picture size." Choose "resize" or "compress." If you choose "resize", check "predefined width and height", scroll down and highlight "Email - small (160 x 160px)", and press OK. It's done! Be sure to "save as" with new picture name. The second option is to use "compress pictures." Select "Compress for E-mail" and this will automatically resize the picture to 160 x 160 px. Hope this helps a little!

Let's see ... Would it be fair to add to your list these towns from Washington state? If so ... Aloha, Forks, Gooseneck, Humptulips, Sixprong, Tum Tum, White Salmon, Winlock, and Wishram. Seems to me WINLOCK and WISHRAM are pretty good bets!

Welcome, The_Mahjah ... I know Walla Walla very well (I born and raised in Pasco). It is well-known as the birthplace of Adam West "Batman", home of Sweet Onions, outstanding wines, some of the best edible wild mushroom hunting in the Blue Mountains, and Whitman College ... In the near future, it may also become known as the home of the 2011 HGTV Dream Home Winner. Much luck and best wishes to you!

On second thought ... maybe the doghouse needs to be changed to the Kittyhouse ... If I won this fabulous Dream Home, I would love to give the "Kittyhouse" to Me_ for Khaz and Simi!

Hi vermontlover ... Ooh yummm, banana pancakes! To celebrate the winner, I'm going to make Banana Bread-Bread Pudding with Banana Ice Cream on top FOR Breakfast! ... I usually serve caramelized bananas too, but I'm going to try substituting authentic Vermont maple syrup instead of brown sugar ... I can hardly wait!

Gail and Mary .... Thank you for the Double Feature, this ought to give us something to chew on and sip on for a while! Now that doghouse is really adorable, except my Sydney wouldn't fit inside I'm afraid! It would be the coolest little hideaway for my girlfriend's little yappers, Pepi and Fifi ... so if I win, I just might have to give the doghouse to her! What a pleasant surprise to see John again ... Doesn't he have the most infectious smile ever? Well, let him know he can come visit me anytime at the Dream Home, and of course, my ladies, you are invited too ... So let's do lunch, okay?

Hey Wyo_Girl --- I have a bunch of errands to do today, but saw your post, so really quickly ....
I've never visited the Napa Valley, but I have been to Sonoma ... it's incredibly beautiful country with many small wineries as well as several large ones. Sonoma County is over a million acres and has 13 different wine appellates ... that's a lot of territory. I would definitely travel up Wine Road (Hwy 101) toward Russian River Valley (Geyserville) and Healdsburg. Check out Preston of Dry Creek in Healdsburg ... This place is more than just a winery. It's an organic farm, too. The owners have evolved the property over time as they have embraced eco-farming and its principles. They raise sheep, and grow fruit and walnut trees, organic vegetables and also grains. You can taste and buy daily fresh-baked bread which is baked in a custom wood-fired oven ... it sells out quickly so get there earlier in the day! Gotta run, but here's a link to a general map, plus there's lots of good information and suggested do-it-yourself tours on the web. You'll have a wonderful time and Happy 20th Anniversary! http://www.wineroad.com/maps/7/
