I’m really glad you visit us everyday–both you and Tigressy maintain a connection to Europe and its history that is invaluable and interesting.
and keep those interesting images a-comin!
Don’t forget Marge… also in Germany.
SheMc lives in the Netherlands, but she hasn’t posted for a while… are you still out there, SheMc?
