Queridos amigos de SD: para decir gracias a todos quiero mandaros amor a distancia.. Tarda un pocito pero espero que en algunas horas vaya a llegar una sensación de calor en todas vuestras corazones. Bueno, en este momento estoy ocupada con una moto sierra pero después de comer agradezca a todos y votaré.

Dear SD friends, to thank you all I'll send some long-dsitance love> It might take a few hours, but I hope that quite soon soon you'll feel a sort of warm feeling in your hearts. Well, just now 'I m busy with a chain-saw, but once we have eaten I'll thank everybody and vote for you all.

I hat to say this but the phrase "...busy with a chain-saw, but once we have eaten.." momentarily made me think you were doing your own butchering. ;) - bosquederoble, Feb 7, 2015

Bosque, e used to be farming, I don't like lamb any more because we had to eat all the unmarkeatable ones. - annierats, Feb 7, 2015
Actually, there is somethig wrong with the chain-saw sentence, the subjunctive, probably but I seem to have mislaid my brain with all these celebrations. - annierats, Feb 10, 2015

La belleza de Suecia se refleja en la belleza de su gente. Y esto no habla solamente de su belleza física, sino de su belleza de alma y espíritu.

The beauty of Sweden is reflected in the beauty of its people. And this not only speaks of their physical beauty but rather of their beauty of soul and spirit.

Billy, you old goat, ojala que fuera verdad. Gracias, Daniela! - annierats, Feb 7, 2015
Annie, It's a good thing you didn't call him "an old goat" in Spanish. It's an X-rated insult in Mexican Spanish. Hehe! - Daniela2041, Feb 7, 2015
daniela, esres gaditana, de verdad? - annierats, Feb 7, 2015
In English it'sextremly insulting too, but Billy and i sort of understand each other, I hope. - annierats, Feb 7, 2015
Sí, nací en Cádiz, pero no recuerdo nada del lugar. Llevo 23 años viviendo en los Estados Unidos ahora. - Daniela2041, Feb 7, 2015

Annie, what can I say? You have provided so many laughs and so much camaraderie on this site that I would be amiss not to say that part of the reason I keep coming back to the site is because of SD friends like you. This is one of your posts (with apologies to all you truly lovely Brits) that still makes me laugh:

enter image description here

And then I found this image that seemed like you would appreciate too, because it's as amazing as you are, dear amiga. Not sure if it's true but it seems as if it would be something that might happen to you. Hugs to Wolfie.

Congratulations, AnnieAnnierats profileenter image description here

You have reached a great milestone, one that few people will ever see. Your Spanish progress has been phenomenal which is no surprise because you are such a wonderful, funny lady that keeps us on our toes. We love hearing stories about Wolfie and your fun times in Spain. Wolfie and you have been through a lot of escapades. You need to go on a road trip.

How about to this castle in Spain?

Seriously, you are a great friend and SD participant and we are proud to have your celebration today. ¡Enhorabueña, amiga!

Congratulations Annie 150K

Dearest Annie , of course you have 150 K you deserve to have everyone of them , no one has worked harder than you have , not only on your own learning curve

but in the way that you have helped us all here with the tentative way of correcting

our Spanish and sometimes English , I have loved your sharp wit , I have been the

butt of it often , but your sense of humour belies the taciturn Swedish upbringing.

I know that one of the great loves in your life is 'Spain' and your desire to retire there.

I had the great privilege and pleasure to spend time with you and "Wolfie" in Spain

I saw then that your love of the country was genuine and from the heart , thank you

not only for that great holiday but for being my friend which is one of the highlights of my desultory life , thank you Annie , a fabulous member a' Spanishdictaholick '

and now one of the great "Legends" of SD . Bien hecho amiga.

Combine that with your fabulous sense of humor and take on life and we get one of the people who truly makes this site a fun place to be. Thanks for everything you contribute to the site.
