Today I met the neighbor lady and her two youngest boys.  I must say it was like the Tower of Babel because we both wanted to say so much but didn't really know how to say it--I know a little Spanish and she knows even less English.  So I'd say something with mixed Spanish-English-French and she'd sometimes nod, but looked confused, and she'd say something in Spanish and I"d understand about 1/3 of it.

I'm getting more and more fascinated with hispanic culture.  I'm going to try to get a Spanish book from the library today so I can communicate better.  When I try to speak in Spanish, a bunch of French comes out with my Spanish making me really confusing to talk with.  (I took one semester of Spanish and 8 years of French).

I just love how family-oriented the hispanic culture seems to be.  Everyone (mixed generations) hanging out together a lot.  Everywhere I go hispanic ladies compliment Joy--I think they are just excited about babies. I need to learn spanish so I can compliment their babies, too.
