Awesome! Hope you find some fun Spaniards to hit the “pelota” with — and you’ll definitely know how to score, especially if you watch the Madrid action going on now. Have a great trip!!

I’m off to Spain this summer so I’ll be looking for the “canchas de tennis”!

I agree, isn’t it annoying when you’re trying to hear the umpire give the score and the announcers talk right over him/her? Sometimes it would be nice just to watch the match and not listen to all the commentary. . .

Thanks so much!

Thank you for this information.
I watch a lot of tennis, especially the slams and leading up to them.
I’ve tried to listen to the scores given by the umpire (native languages) but the commentators are usually talking C(:
Love to have this in a small chart so I could print it out and keep it close at hand while watching the matches. Keep up the good work. Glad I found this site.
Just know that you’re appreciated by one septagenarian.
Linda

Hello Anne!!! Thanks for the article.

I speak Spanish — and I’m happy I learned some new words today! I definitely need to watch more Spanish television to improve!

Hope you’re well!

Nice post. I totally agree with you. It’s definitely a great way to stay in shape when you can’t go outside on a bike.

Comment on My life is good; so why am I feeling bad? by Kim

I can so see myself having a bad day like this for no good reason. Although any time I lose badly I find it hard to recover. I hope you have a good day for no good reason really soon!

I know not too much about bread making, but have picked up a lot abut bread mixers design, organically powered. I have a digital photo of my finished “prototype machine” but I don’t have a clue how to send it to you. Being 84, we didn’t have computers in school to grow up with. My start was with a #2 lead pencil.

Ha Ha, I hope your house never catches fire! I have some bread rising right now, and I’m lucky enough to have replaced my oven last year with a new model that has a “bread proof” setting of 100 degrees, so am using that. But I bet the cake pan with hot water works just as well!
