Thanks for the replies and warm welcome.
I teach ESL for call center agents. We focus on: grammar, phonetics, semantics and rhetoric.
As a Spanish student for many years, I always appreciated when someone took the time to teach me how to speak well. It has opened many doors.
as they say in Costa Rica, "pura vida" (pure life)

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the sunny wishes! It has been a beautiful weekend and as Sunday evening arrives, so has a thunder storm.

Still I suppose it will freshen the earth and bring new life to the thirsty foilage.
I hope you too have a most enjoyable weekend!
Love,
Sandy
