Virginia Fluck

There was what seemed like a million signs that day leading to this estate sale. Where I live estate sales are common but on this day we had some spare time so we checked it out. It was like looking into a crystal ball. The woman who lived there was named Virginia which happens to be my girlfriends name and she was also into art history like my girlfriend. We looked through all of her old stuff trying to figure out more about her. We found some old notes stuck into random books and magazines. Most were from funeral homes and hospitals. These people were really hounding her. We sifted around the nic-nacs and stumbles across a magnet with my last name. It turns out someone who lived with her had my last name and was into engineering. Anyways to make a long story short I found a couple of neat little books including this on on Spanish phrases.
Great ones include:

• Todos a bordo = All Aboard
• Ella es asi = That's the way she is
• Dar a lux = To give birth
• Comprar el gato en el saco = to buy a pig in a poke
• Hace castillos en el aire = He builds castles in the air

Some of the stuff according to Googles language tools is off such as:

• Ella es asi = It is thus
• Comprar el gato en el saco = To buy the cat in the coat

I'd like to go through the whole book but I'll save that for another time.
