Our library answered a question just like this a little while ago. If your library is very small, ask at a bigger library sometime when you're traveling to another town. |

I am really curious to know if Gypsy's looks like this. If you'll notice, only one of them is actually a Neubrandenburg. They are beautiful, huh? |
