enter image description here

To the funny girl who always picks the best photos to inspire the 'Picture of the Day" and to a real dear who has been an SD favorite for many long years, we want to congratulate you on receiving 4K in badges! How does one accomplish such a feat! Daily connection to all those members who love to get their giggles each day on her daily thread. She also gets so many badges for tireless effort on the site in supporting Spanish learning. Thanks, Sandy, for your friendship to us all here in SD. Your kind heart is always evident and your caring ways keep us all connected here at SD. You are so fast at collecting badges that you are now at 4.1 before I could even post a word!

Sandy,

Me di cuenta de desde el principio que tú y algunos otros (Jraider viene a la mente) son excepcionalmente bueno en lo note, acogedor, y alentar a los miembros de SD—lo más halagador que podía hacer es tratar de ser más como ustedes. Me agrada que la gente está tomando nota de que en la actualidad. Me quito el sombrero ante ti por un trabajo bien hecho.

I noticed early on that you and a few others (Jraider comes to mind) are exceptionally good at noticing, welcoming, and encouraging SD members—the most flattering thing I could do is to try to be more like y'all. I pleases me that people are taking note of you today. Hats off to you for a job well done.

Hats Off!

*Congratulations to my dearest and bestest friend.**


Thank you for being patient with me Sandy , but then patience is another one

of your many qualities that we all appreciate and admire about you Sandy.

The way that you have shouldered arms for all these years producing these

photos of the day has been nothing short of a monumental effort ,thank you

for doing that and at the same time posting your own threads and helping all

the members that asked for help. You are one of the hardest working members

here by far and are deserving of every accolade and each and everyone of your

badges. Well done "Legend"I hope we have many more years together.


This image is how I picture you and your wonderful family.

Seriously, Sandy, you have been such an inspiration to me even as you have to others.

There were times when I got discouraged and you kept on encouraging me to continue. I have really learned a few things about patience from you, even as you have told me that you have learned a few things from me (besides the "subjunctive" jeje).

Please keep doing what you're doing. We all love you so veeery much. Muchisisísimo!!!

Have a great day!

Congratulations and well done. That is a lot of badges, and achieving them reflects a lot of good work done. I really appreciate your always kind and pleasant disposition.

Thank you so much for running the picture of the day, as we all know, improvement comes through practice, and your pictures at times inspire to me to say things that I probably otherwise never would have learned to say.
