Sunday 4th November
We are determined to foist our British ways on the locals and bonfire night seemed a good start. We had had plans of holding a small party to get together with new found friends but, despite now having enough debris for many a bonfire, we were slightly foiled by our health and safety hazard of a fallen tree balancing on power lines in our garden and the local state laws on fireworks which make it illegal for a PA state resident to purchase or transport fireworks in PA (apparently you need to go to New Jersey). Instead we settled for a session with 1st grade on Friday telling them the story of the plot and teaching them to remember remember, and, this evening, hot chocolate, chocolate cake and sparklers with the closest neighbours around a small fire pit. The weather even obliged by cooling down to feel like the real McCoy! We can build up to something more akin to the real thing next year.
