Practice makes perfect.....post on....
....looks like her, too.
....close enough
Such a cutie.
Si en verdad eres salvo, di “Amen”.
Amen!
Si en verdad eres salvo, di “Amen”.
Amen!
Si en verdad eres salvo, testifica con tu vida,
Si en verdad eres salvo, di “Amen”
Amen!
(children’s song we led on our Escuela Biblia de Vacances on our youth mission trips to Mexico)
Second verse substituted “di ‘Amen’” with “Applaudi” and third verse with “Zaptea”. Final verse “haz los tres”.
Very sweet!
So, we classroom attendees got salvoed with multiple pings this cold mornnin’ eh?
Happy birthday Buffy!
You probably figured it out, but it was obviously the same song as the “If you’re happy and you know it” that we sang as anglo kids.
Yikes - what a birthday gift! lol
Sorry, man, Tuesday is Spanish day.
Wow, that was a great slap!
I only watched the last 5 minutes or so - saw Best actor, actress, and movie. Totally agree about Ellen - she looks silly constantly dressed like a man
That was pretty funny on SNL - it was well done
Oh, I had totally not thought about putin being a racist.... of course he is! lol
It is 29, windy and mostly cloudy-but at least there is no snow. Fortunately, the customer I was supposed to see this AM had to go to work early, because I do not like to drive a 4X4 over the hills and bridges on the way out of here in high wind...
I think we are in deep crap
With Carter deux at the wheel-
The only salvo from the dunce
Tells Putin how he should feel
It is such a deja vu moment
For all who remember before
Reagan took over Carter’s job
And kicked in the USSR’s door
We really need another Reagan
Or a genuine facsimile of him-
While Obama cowers in his office
Things will continue to be grim...
Is it cold again down your way? There is frozen drizzle and 29 predicted for tonight here-no warm-up until Thursday...
+++ great job. Xs women shoveled the walk and driveway. The consistency of the snow changed between. The first and second times out to some granular pellet. Weird.
