Hi team, it is wonderful to hear from you. Miss MCleod told me that you were all outstanding. The best performance ever. Well done to you all. Take a bow!
Today we went to a state fair (agricultural show). We stood as they played their national anthem (The Star Spangled Banner). Then we ate for the first time corn dogs. They were hot dogs but the batter was corn based and very sweet. In fact, they were yuck, and we could not eat them. Today was so hot (32 degrees) that we could not stay outside. Today is the official day to mark the end of summer. Really! All the pools are closed because the students have gone back to school and they are not there to be life guards.
Georgia and Piper are hot, and getting a bit fed up with all the heat. I never thought I would say it but, I miss the cooler weather.
It is wonderful catching up with my families. My brother is like any big brother, cheeky!
OK, Wow! Who was that that turned 10, I wish I was ten!
For Americans, Thanks Giving (31 September) is huge, bigger than Christmas. Thanks Giving celebrates the founding of America, and the friendship formed between the Indians and people who came on the Mayflower ship. They eat turkey, potatoes, pumpkin pie. More people get together for this than Christmas. Birthdays are pretty much the same as for us. What astounds me is that they decorate inside and outside their houses. Already they are gearing up for Halloween. I will get some pictures before we come back.
Food is pretty much the same as us. A wee bit more fried, but it depends on where you go to eat. They do have these things called Funnel cakes that are to die for. I cannot eat any more of them or I won’t fit in my seat. They do have wonderful sea food and I have eaten a lot of Shrimp and Squid.
The service in America is pretty good. Thats thanks to tipping people. When a waiter or taxi driver provides a service to you, you give them a tip. It is usually 15-20% of the total bill. This they get tokeep. The better the service they provide you, the greater the tip. This makes for pretty good service and people keen to help.
Jess, I will find out about the schools and I am not too sure.
Thanks for the emails Caelan, Daphne, Jessica M, Rosa and Jade. It is wonderful to read your emails. I miss you all.

Mrs Stewart has done this points thing for us what she has done is put the All stars into 5 groups like she's put us in desk groups and she's put on the white board team points where if the groups be good and do there work Mrs Stewart would put up points on the boardin our team group and on Friday she would add up all the points and see who got the most and then would announce the winners OOHH one other thing she would give the winning team a prize it would be either 10 min free time on the computer, 10min extra free playtime out on the courts after the bell rings, or 20min free pastle drawing.
