I have Gone International

I was so surprise,
and humbled,
when I received this message
from Pam (Tijiendo mi vida . . .) this morning:


Paula!!
I love your blog! So you have won the Stylish Blogger Award.
Hope you enjoy it! Check my blog!

Hugs and Kisses

Pam




The international part of this post
comes from her answer
as to where she has lived:
I have lived in several places of Chile. 
I know Arica (north), 
San Carlos (South),
Valparaíso (Center-Coast) 
and Santiago (Capital)


WOW . . . .
I mean,
can you imagine this  . . .
I have a follower who lives in Chile?
Me,
a former Social Studies teacher,
who LOVED
teaching my kids about maps
and other countries,
has a follower from CHILE!


Pam's blog is great,
it's bi-lingual.
 She write in Spanish
and then writes in English.
It gives me a chance 
to work on my Spanish  . . . 
I read the Spanish version
and then see if what I thought it says
is really what it said..
sometimes I get it
and sometimes I have to brush up on my skills.


Now, this is the important part . . . .

  7. You doin ok? There's more blogland nasties going on. I think everyone should not be able to receive anonymous comments. I've seen some blogs that anonymous comments aren't allowed. I'll have to check mine. Though I've never seen an anonymous comment come through. Why can't everyone be nice and if they don't like what's going on or being said then go on their merry way? Why do people have to be nasty??? sigh...

    oh hey....didn't mean to hurt your springy feelings. I wish yours would come along too! xoxox
