July Fourth
We went back to Kranjska Gora yesterday to spend The Fourth with our friends up there. Kristin had hip surgery back in April and was experiencing a very speedy recovery until two weeks ago. While doing her exercises she dislocated the hip. She's in a brace/cast for a while and we had already wanted to get together for the holiday so I told her I would make the food, with Ivana's help, and we'd come up there to celebrate. Ivana couldn't join us b/c of a German exam, but that didn't turn out so well. Ivana has decided to forego the German and take Spanish next year since she's already fluent in the language!
Anyway, we had a great day. Kristin is full of conversation and loves to talk about the Lord. Timothy asked if she's the preacher at their church and Zoran, her husband, smiles and nods his head yes. We did get the Adventist issue out on the table and Timothy and I told her the perceptions we had from little or no knowledge of and from never really having met any Adventists before them. They were anything but offended. Living in a predominately Catholic nation they're used to it.
Zoran and the boys, Aaron and Ashley, took us to the farm again. Clay loved it even more. There were three new baby llamas to admire. One of the Arabian horses had been loaned out for breeding so the other horse was a bit lonely and acted restless. We found the kittens that had alluded us last time and Timothy got to wrestle with the goat. There were a couple men there while we were who were looking at purchasing a couple llamas.
We also got to meet Zoran's mother this time and she gave Clay a handmade folk guitar. Clay had been serenading us out on the patio. He folds his left hand in and uses his right hand to strum it; his own version of air guitar. Then he sings as loud as he can so all of Kranjska Gora could hear him.
The girls at church are having a baby shower for me on the 31st when Karen is here and we invited Zoran and Kristin down too. I think Kristin would like to visit our church. I think she'd like it. She likes the livelier praise and worship.

The handmade guitar sounds neat. I wish I could see it. What's is like to celebrate Independence Day in a foreign country?
Did you get video of Clay singing? You must be sure to take a video camera next time you visit if you haven't gotten footage already of all the animals. Sounds like your own personal zoo.
To Tisra:
Because we were in a very touristy area it didn't seem too different for the Fourth. There were lots of people out and about so it felt like every one else was off work too. Timothy and I haven't been to see fireworks in a few years so we really didn't miss that part.
To Mary:
We have video of Clay at home singing and playing his new guitar. I need to email that. Dad's been asking for it.
