Brot und
blaue Augen.
Thanks to colleague and Planet Psi Empress Frau Doktor Heather Woolverton for sending us to the German Deli website. Guess what category I looked at first? Another vielen Dank goes to German 2310 student April Guy for a link to the Bluemchen website . The tune to her hit song Blaue Augen has stuck with several German club members this week, nicht wahr?

A Farmer's Rule.
