The German word "Leib" in this case does mean something like household or life guards. "Lieb" means love. The two words are often confused. If I typed Lieb in the blog entry, I meant Leib ;-)<BR/><BR/>Best Regards,<BR/><BR/>StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-13269734314781592542007-05-08T00:07:00.000-05:002007-05-08T00:07:00.000-05:00I really like the way you paint.

A military unit but ceremonially the bodyguards of the duchess?Auston Jeff Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510209818428843584noreply@blogger.com
