Unusual sights in Prague

Potatoe soup in a bread bowl. Cool!!

Here in Prague it is a Christmas tradition is to buy fresh carp to take home for dinner.

The carp guys are preparing the Christmas tradition. Yummy.

This was better than the carp. These are little rolls of bread that are cooked over a fire and then sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Good.

Check out how they deal with illegal parking in Czech. They simply come and take your car away!! You don't want to mess with the Czech police.

We are waiting for a glimpse of our son Luke near baggage claim.

Finally, there he is! He made it home.

It's so good to have him with us for the holidays.

The "cart guy" in Zurich wanted his picture taken too. Don't you love to see people who enjoy their work?

Christmas cardmaking

This past week my small group of girls came over for supper and then an evening of Christmas cardmaking. I was amazed at their creativity! They produced some wonderful masterpieces that they are excited about sharing with their family and friends.

Bunco Night

Last night I had my small group of 5 girls over for dinner. Then later in the evening another small group from BFA joined our group for a fun evening of playing bunco(followed with prizes for winners and losers!)
