Once a year I make my way back to my homeland to visit family and friends. What better time to go than Christmas?! Again this year it was my privilege to stay with my youngest sister Cindy and her family. On this day we had a very special guest. In the center of the photo is Maria. She is from Bratislava and has spent the past 6 months as a student at Minnehaha Academy. My neices sure enjoyed having Maria over for dinner and a mean game of Clue.
