Thank you all so much for your kind welcome to Iberia.
Cyhireath, that was the nicest introduction anyone has ever made on my behalf. If everyone drinks enough at Fiesta I might even be able to measure up to it!*S*

I do plan to visit our Spanish teacher after I recover from our upcoming celebrations to see if I can ever move beyond the few butchered phrases of tex-mex I have acquired over the years.
(i thought it best to wait for Fiesta before subjecting any of you it - it's easier on the ears if you are well into your Sangria.*g*)

I look forward to meeting many of you during the big party!
