  1. Hey there – just saw the name popp up and thought I’d stop by. If your wife really is German than let me tell you this you are one lucky guy – because over here we sure know how to make ’em (I’m a half/half mutt if you hadn’t guessed btw.). In any case hang on to her – she will be the best thing that ever happened to you – many blessings to the both of you, K.

  2. Oh, brilliant, you were using an ü! How did you do it?
    Copy and paste?
    Insert special character?
    German keyboard?
    I have an English keyboard but I change it to German in Windows. Drives The Husband mad when none of the special characters match muahahahaha.
