Here I am again!

Well, two days in a row, whaddaya know?? I have enjoyed my Saturday, even though the major portion of it has been spent cleaning house and doing laundry. There was no sunshine today at all so the plan of doing outdoor things did not materialize. My cleaning girl was here today and while she cleans, I clean also. I just clean "other things" and do projects I wouldn't ordinarily have time to do (like clean out the refrigerator and closets, ironing, going through mail and bills, etc.). We have a good time while she is here, mostly just trying to communicate. She speaks no English, well, very little, and I speak no Spanish to speak of! But we manage somehow and things get done. We do a lot of gesturing and laughing and shaking our heads or shrugging our shoulders. I am beginning to recall more Spanish words that I knew a long time ago but had forgotten. I took Spanish in high school, just a few years back (ha!) and could've done OK back then, but since that was 30 years ago, the old memory has faded. But with the help of a translation site on my computer, I can recall some and look up some. But trust me, the translation sites don't necessarily translate accurately. When I try to get the translation for "dust the furniture" (or something like that) it comes back with something like "dirt the furniture." So I have to be very careful or I will have Abelia Bedilia "drawing my drapes" or "dressing the chicken" or something such as that (for you youngsters who have no idea who she is, never mind!). I hope to brush up on my Spanish and maybe eventually be able to actually converse in that language. I have been wanting to really know how to speak Spanish for many years now. Maybe we can teach each other our own languages. She knows a few words now, such as "sister, husband, work, house, pretty, baby, shoes, birthday" etc. Well, I must go now and get a few more things accomplished before Mr. G gets home. Later alligators!
