Question

Findy

Findy 10k club member

We are a disparate group of people with one driving ambition ," to learn Spanish"

Findy has shown since day 1 that she is going to achieve her goal in record time.

With each post that she attempts her work improves , she tries out new avenues

to test her knowledge and exercise her talented mind , but always she is kind,

helpful and quick to bring others along on her exciting ride to the top , this desert

dweller has impressed me greatly , i wish her well in her endeavours to tame the

desert land and grow the vegetables and flowers she so admires . Bien hecho

to our new and well deserved " Legend".

Ray this is perfect, she is going to love it. - pmikan-pam, Aug 19, 2013

Thanks Pam , i am always worried that I miss the mark . - ray76, Aug 19, 2013

Lovely post, Ray. - katydew, Aug 19, 2013

Gracias Margerite . That is very kind of you. - ray76, Aug 19, 2013

Marksmen never do my dear. As always, you've done a superb job. - 0095ca4c, Aug 19, 2013

Aw, thanks, Ray! *hugs* These pictures depict exactly how my garden looks (before I wake up). Between the intense heat, birds & fire ants it's been a losing battle. But, like the subjunctive, I'm determined to conquer this too! :) - Findy, Aug 19, 2013

Very nice post,Ray! - rac1, Aug 19, 2013

Thanks Ray for doing this! - Jubilado, Aug 19, 2013

Thanks everyone, I feel that it is a collective thing , each one of us contributes to the whole feeling of love and respect. - ray76, Aug 20, 2013

Fantastic job Mate , you are the Master of congratulation threads !:). - shish75, Aug 20, 2013

Answer 1

Many thanks to everyone here who has congratulated, encouraged and spurred me on to be better at learning Spanish than I ever thought I would be! When I first joined this group of hard-workers, my only concern was to try to learn the language well enough to communicate with my neighbors and workers in the Mexican stores I visit.

The multitude of grammar rules became a splash in the face - at first! But then all of these wonderful people came out of the walls to help and offer sage advice (all of which I am taking to heart, you can be sure). I appreciate your knowledge, patience, and yes - friendship - more than you can imagine.

You guys rock!!

Muchas gracias Findy you go girl! - pmikan-pam, Aug 21, 2013

And go she did Pam , and very well indeed. - ray76, Aug 22, 2013
