Thanks for commenting on my Germans-in-Texas books. I'm working on a book about my ancestors. Are you descended from the Fredericksburg group or the New Braunfels group? Or a different group?

I so enjoyed browsing your library! I probably shouldn't have spent so much time looking as it made me think of my so-far-unsuccessful attempts to persuade my better half that we have to visit Italy next year. And I had no idea that plant was an oleander. :o All the plants were already there when we bought the house, and I have looked up plant toxicity, but I thought that plant was a guava. E has never been outside unsupervised, but it's good to know. Now that I know, I don't worry so much for her (since she's not a mouther) as for our cat, Nikita.

Welcome to the 'Italiani' group! You have a great catalog for the members to explore and comment on, and with a background like yours I hope you will find interesting people to interact with.
