Congratulations Katya, 100 K

There are some members who just amaze me in what they are able to achieve

in such a short space of time , our darling Katya is no exception , her achievements

have been monumental . We have watched her grow in stature with every post ,

her teaching threads have been amazing in their scope and attention to detail,

and in all this time Katya has been a pleasure to work with , she has entertained

me and other members with her sharp wit , she and I have had some memorable

verbal jousts which have filled my old heart with joy . Now , if that was not enough

she is off into the back-blocks of Chile to teach and help others with her abundant

compassion , you are a true and great "Legend" I salute you .Bien hecho.

Thanks to all my friends on SD. I remember seeing 100K on users' profiles and wondering, "how in the world does one get 100K reputations?!" Now I know that it is 'poco a poco' with the daily encouragement from friends who are dedicated to learning. Your witty humor, thoughtfulness, patience in answers, depth of intelligence, sharing of resources, and friendliness are the reason I keep on the site and have learned so much from so many of you. I rarely go away from an SD session without smiling. Thanks for all the comments and lovely regalos! They are all meaningful to me whether from a new member or an old hat. A special thanks to Ray76, who has been an encouragement from the beginning - for this reason it's very special that you designed one of your super-duper top of the line announcement threads for this celebration!

¡Gracias a todo!

There are not enough words to express my appreciation for all you do here, both, personally and for all of us here at SD. You always have that encouraging word to say to everyone. I enjoy your posts and I am learning from them. Keep it up Katy!!

Congratulations Katydew

for all the points that you did accrue!

Your games teach everyone a lot

that you put together with so much thought.

I certainly know more about ser and estar

and the different ways to say who we are.

Your knowledge that you freely share

Shows everyone how much you care.

Have you ever considered songwriting? - Maria-Russell, Aug 30, 2013
We need to find a way to put a little music and rhythm to your poems. They are very good. - Maria-Russell, Aug 30, 2013
Or, I guess today we would call it rap. - Maria-Russell, Aug 30, 2013
Jen another great poem , how about teaching me about , ser and estar" , or at least how to make them stick into my feeble old brain. Thanks L V lady. - ray76, Aug 30, 2013
Rap is poetry. I love rap that is done right. Everything I hear has an internal beat. I play a couple of instruments. When I read sheet music, I change it in my mind to what I think sounds better. - 0083f5dc, Aug 31, 2013
Thank you Maria-Russel, Annie, and Ray for your compliments. - 0083f5dc, Aug 31, 2013
