It's been too long!

You know it has been too long when friends start to call you to make sure you are still alive! Well, we are and we have been just too busy for words!
In August we visited our British friends Simon and Jo for an overnight at their "in the renovation process" mountain house in the town of Jabloncov near the Polish border. They have accomplished great things since they moved in. The interior is spacious and comfortable. The view from their rear balcony is to die for and looks very much like Tuscany. The only drawback is the two or three meters of snow that they get in the winter and the fact that the road to their house gets closed and they have to walk up the mountain! The four of us went to a small folk festival with singing, dancing and much drinking. A good meal, a walk in the mountain woods, and home the next day. Another exciting adventure this summer was the two day birthday celebration of Pam's cousin Frantisek Sila in his hometown of Hlinsko. We enjoyed all the food and drink and also the company and conversation of family and friends. A rousing and boistrious time was had by all. Unfortunately, for some reason I can not post any pictures on the blog, ..and it just closed down. So I will let this post stand and try a new one to continue the story!
