Just a quick update on new signs (more for me than anything else ;)

I am taking a free ASL class at a local church. It is taught by a woman who is deaf/hard of hearing. She grew up speaking, and didn't have hearing aids because her family didn't have the money to buy them. She has a hearing aid now, but still prefers to go without and lip read. She can hear tones, and she has a beautiful singing voice. Talking to her you wouldn't know she was deaf.
Today was the first class, and it was a great cross-section of my community. Middle schoolers, young adults, moms, grand parents. And everyone was so willing to just jump in! I knew most signs used today (idid learn FROM) but it was great to practice :)
