I always wondered. Now I know.



Okay.  So where have I been?  When we moved to Pennsylvania, many of the homes had candles in the windows.  It was November so I thought everyone was getting a jump on Christmas.  They were still all there after Christmas so I put some in my windows too.  (Peer pressure.)  I love it.  Now I know why we do.  I took Karen and Megan to Philadelphia.  While in the visitor's center we watched a short movie about the beginning of the Revolutionary War.  Although no battles were fought in Philadelphia, if you were a true Patriot you would put candles in your windows.  If not (still hanging on to Mother England) you didn't and usually got your windows broken.  I am a true Patriot!

Independence Hall was having major work done so was all covered up with scaffolding.  This is the First Library across the street.
