It started with reading to toddlers. Once the children learned to read, the members of the Mendez family would often spend an hour or two reading to each other, playing games, or telling family stories. That's when Ana discovered that she liked poetry, or some poems. Most recently, they've tried their hand at reading plays to each other, often to hilarious effect.
Here's a simple little word puzzle Matt came up with to sharpen Ana's Spanish vocabulary. These are all towns in New Mexico, but translated from Spanish to English. How many can you name in the original Spanish?
holy faith
the crosses
the cottonwoods
moon
up river
help
poplar grove
cold water
German
soul
friendship
wide
spirits
deep stream
flowery
chicken
little island
the jewel
the otters
the doves
the meadows
keys
(Answers.)
