Trato Hecho! (It's a deal!)

Fran started her English lessons on Friday, October 12, and on that first day she asked if she could have not one free lesson per week, but three!!!  I hesitated for a moment, laughed, and then accepted.  We scheduled the lessons for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, which just happened to be the day the trash truck came at about 11:30 a.m.  Since I couldn't hear the bell, Fran agreed to ring my doorbell when it arrived.  It was a perfect arrangement, but it wasn't to last long.  The wheels of her future engaged and started to pull her towards her goal in earnest.
