Our sweet neighbor Claudia is 83 years old. She is widowed and lives by herself. She loves to talk to me about the children and always comments on how quiet we are. (I didn't remind her that we both live on a very, very noisy bus route!) : )
She came over last week to ask Tully a medical question and then we visited for a little bit. Tully and I were practically jumping up and down when she left because we could understand almost everything she said. She came over to introduce herself to us the second day we were here and we, of course, had to have someone interpret. It just sounded like rapid gunfire Spanish to us!
Through the months, we could see a little improvement in our understanding each time we talked with her. It's been 6 weeks or so since we had seen her last. Now, what a great feeling!
