So, at the beginning of this week I noticed something. No, it wasn't the lack of comments people have left me (thanks guys, no really, thanks), it was the decorations popping up on people's houses: flags (though most of them were already there), little cloth banners in red, white and blue among other things.
On Tuesday I woke up to find red, white and blue wreaths on the front and back doors, the cloth banner things and little flags stuck in the lawn. We also put up r,w&b fairy lights! They actually make these!!
At the park down the street they've basically got this huge carnival starting tonight that goes until the 4th when there's a parade and stuff.
I don't know what to think. I mean, it's great that people love their country and all, but they just go all out!

That's so true! I should have a party. I'm sure the family would approve. Though we couldn't have a BBQ or picnic because it will be freezing and snowing. Lol. So weird.
Hi Sarah
I have managed to download all of your photos& I think it's great to show us so many different aspects of your life in the USA.
Keep enjoying yourself. I love the chandelier in your bathroom; ah well there will have to be some things you will miss after
you complete your stay in Chicago! Regards from Jackie S.
You should make some signs that say "America sucks" and see how many people try to hurt you.. and post pictures of you being chased down a street by crazy hicks with pitchforks
OMG! Katey, you hate me, don't you :P. Lol!! I'd be WAAAAAAY too scared to even think about even mentioning something remotely America-mightnot-be-the-greatest-country-in-the-world. lol.
