That was a real joy to read. I am so glad that I know you. I learned a lot more about you and I like you even more. I would hope that one day you can live in Texas. We would love to have you.
I would also like to suggest that you teach your children spanish. It will be so good for them. I would give a lot if I could learn it. I have tried in a way at times but I just don't know how to learn. We have several mexican families in our church and I would love to be able to speak to them where they could understand me. all I can do is smile really big and say Ola. Thank you for the post. connie from Texas
Fiddler is my favorite too! I have the movie, and took Fifi to see the Broadway touring show many years ago. It is one of my best memories.
Wouldn't it be fun if you moved to Texas? ;) People do it all the time.
