I have been observing the rapidly growing number Spanish-only speaking residents there are living in the area, and I have noticed how many English-only speaking residents there are that are reluctant to learn how to speak Spanish. There is a lot of hostility on the part of the non-Spanish citizens, and I often hear remarks like “If they are coming to this country then they need to learn English.” I also hear a lot of anger about how our tax dollars are being wasted on illegal immigrant families. I’m not sure that is really happening, but the general perception is that it is happening.

I am trying to understand both sides of the issue, and I just want to say that I think it is important that we ALL learn to speak BOTH English and Spanish.  Eventually we are all going to need to know both languages in order to get along in every day life here in America.  And I think it is important that we all get along!

Let’s go!

There’s so much to say, yet I’m not sure where to start.

I’m looking forward to sharing little bits of information thatI’ve found helpful, and little glimpses into my life and the people who I care for and care about. But then, I still need a little privacy and I respect the rights of others to their privacy, too.

I’ve noticed things on other people’s websites and blogs that I might like incorporate into mine, especially the MeMe’s and photos. I’ll have to see what I can come up with.

Welcome to my new web site. I am glad to finally have my own little piece of the web to share my thoughts, ideas, feelings, rants and raves. Special thanks to Alice for giving me the poking and prodding to finally get on with it!
