    2. Thanks for the INSPIRING SPANISH WORDS SIR VAZQUEZ. I understand a little bit about Spanish words because, my grandmother taught me when I was just a kid. But, sad to say that she left me and she is now in heaven with God and Angels. You opened my prior knowledge about Spanish words. Thank you so much and thank you for commenting my post.
