Well, we got a big storm so no electricity which meant no water either, because of the well, so we played Fictionary by candlelight and it was a bunch of fun! New words that I remember include fleam, schelm, rampion, and somebody picked hoyden but I already knew that one... and these are folks who do their own fireworks, too.

Today I might make another cookout but it's supposed to storm again so the city will probably not do its own fireworks tonight... what a shame.
