The past 3 days have flown by. No pictures, sorry! That's because we have hunkered down and written many Christmas greetings and thank-you's over the last weekend of vacation! The kids brought some cards which I had purchased last year after Christmas (at 75% off!), so we are getting them ready to send in a box to the kids, for mailing from Ankeny, to save on international postage. :-) We caught up on sleep, did some reading, and spent a good half day running errands, which always takes longer on foot and in Slovak! :-) (For example, getting prints made of a photo for our cards, having our letter printed at a copy shop, and finally finding the right size sink stopper!!) Unfortunately, our camera isn't functioning, and evidently there isn't any place in town to have it repaired, according to 3 different photo print shops. Looks like we'll have to go to Ružomberok sometime to get it fixed, hopefully! Meanwhile, we will use the I-touch for photos, but it doesn't have a flash.
We had a special treat at church Sunday, as Ivan Mraz's women's ensemble performed three selections during the service. They sounded beautiful! We walked home with Ivan (we heard his university choir in December, and his wife, Eva is learning English with me) and had a nice conversation with him. The women's group is taking a break now after Christmas, but if they start rehearsing again this spring, I may get to sing with them! How cool is that?!?
It will be fun to get back to school tomorrow and see everyone again. We feel a little out of the loop after being with the kids for a week, and then on our own since then. We're looking forward to hearing about Christmas break activities and news!
