Making potica

Another line dance step

We did learn a new dance today, called Stomping It Out. Seems like a lot of fun and everyone got more exercise than ever before. But what's even better than that is the fact that the new students are coming in every week and the number of those who are regularly attending line dancing class with Christine Feil, is still growing! :)



Tomorrow, on Thursday, January 8, 2009 is a potica making and baking day. Preparations start around seven o'clock in the morning and those who know (or want to learn) how to roll the dough with rolling pin are expected to show up by nine a.m.

Thank you all...

I can only think of two words to express myself today:

THANK YOU!

Thank you to all of you who commented on my blogs or Squidoo pages,
thank you to Ed and Walt and Nick who cared to look at my un-edited text,
thank you to everyone who stopped by, read some text or just looked at the images!

And finally, an extra large thank you goes to Rev. Travnikar who gave me a call and complimented me on my work like noone has ever complimented me before... :)


Thank you God for Flowers and Friends!

that thanks are the highest form of thought, 
and that gratitude is happiness 
doubled by wonder."
