I am grateful for Slovaks today. Yesterday, I picked up Peter and Daniela - both Slovaks - and brought them back to the house where I am housesitting. We had a movie night last night. And then we slept in this morning. Daniela made a great casserole this evening for dinner. In it there were potatoes, sausage, eggs, onions, sour cream and cheese. Can you think of any better ingredients???
Last year, another Slovak lived at the same room & board I live in - her name is Helka. This year she is back in Slovakia and I miss her very much. This is her picture, and you can link to her blog on the right if you like.
Anyway, each year, my Christmas has usually been made better in some way by Slovaks that are around me.....

I love the very cute picture of Helka. She looks like a doll.
I'm part Slav, myself. Did you know that is where the word "slave" comes from? The Slavic peoples have a centuries long history of suffering in slavery to the greater European powers. It is something most people don't know because the Slavs have moved beyond it and never harp about it. I am proud of how far my people have come.
