In case anyone's still interested, there are finally pictures posted from Karnival in Cologne a month ago -- and from our Halloween party, four months ago! Sorry I'm kinda bad about updating this stuff; but they're fun albums, and I figured better late than never. :) Halloween in particular was great, since for a lot of our guests, it was the first time they'd ever really observed the holiday, and we went all out. Mom had sent a big, heavy Mystery Box that turned out to include everything we'd need for a good old-fashioned American Halloween party: shiny foil decorations, recipes, pumpkin-carving kits, even funny little cartoonish invitations to fill out and mail to our friends. We used it all, every last kitschy bit -- and it was a smash!
I'm already planning a 4th of July barbecue. Heh heh, I'll impose my imperialist American traditions, yet!

Should I send red, white and blue decorations? We know Bert can come up with the sparklers! Remember the ones he left us last year to take to Orkney?

I think it would be really hard to ship you roasted-in-the-husk corn-on-the-cob, not to mention the vat of butter you need to dip them in .... We'll have to think about that one! Popcorn-flavored Jelly Bellies would transport more easily, but just would not be quite the same......
Hehe, awesome :-) Make sure you get them into International Talk Like A Pirate Day, Sept 19.
