Today at the library...

There is an older gentleman who comes into the library almost every day. He speaks very little English but I am always smiling and waving hello when he comes in.  He usually says something in Spanish and I never quite remember how I need to respond but today was the day I would say something back in Spanish! 

He came and walked by and said Buenos Dias. I said Buenos Dias back and he got the hugest grin on his face and put a big thumbs up and you could tell he was proud. I pretty much had a grin on my face all day.    I think he has been trying to teach me and he succeeded today with getting me to say two words. 

I was telling this to a co-worker who also speaks Spanish and he was saying the older gentleman seems like a wise man.  This older gentleman reminds me of my grandfather who always had a sparkle in his eye.  It was a good day in the library!
