Jan wrote: "Welcome Teri!"Thanks, Jan. I've started a new challenge for myself - to learn to read books in Spanish this year. I've not learned Spanish before, so I'm starting from scratch, I'm slow, and it requires lots of rereading. I'll have to see how many challenges I can meet this way. But it's fun!
Wow Teri! You never cease to amaze me. Good luck!!!
Jan wrote: "Wow Teri! You never cease to amaze me. Good luck!!!"Thanks, Jan. Since turning 60 I have learned to knit socks, play the violin, started weight lifting and taught myself basic Latin. I love learning new things! Part of what makes your challenges so appealing. :)
I realized I'd never get to learn the things I've always wanted to if I didn't get started right then. :)
