OK, Teresa Boardman, I'll enter your virtual pumpkin carving contest.   I've never been very good at working the paint program, so hopfully I'll get a point or two for creativity. 

These are my St. Paul and Minneapolis Pumpkins.  The first, representing the many fine  St.Paul Irish establishments I love to frequent.  The second, of course, is the Minnie-apple.The blue line represents the Mississippi River.  While the renderings look like something I would have created at the age of 6, they represent the Twin Cities, and the home I love. OK, go ahead. Tease away :-)
