First Stop Germany

Good morning friends.

Well I got some pics of Mikayla's

stop in Germany.

From Detroit they first landed

in Frankfort Germany.

Had a 2 hour layover and

then hopped another plane to Berlin Germany.

They arrived around 9:00 am,

checked into their hotel and were off by bus to 

The Neues Palais

The "New Palace" in English.

Here the group is in front of the palace.

A little back story on this palace.

After the Seven Years War in 1763,

then King Friedrich began construction

of this palace.

It was finished three years after in 1769.

It is located in Potsdam Germany.

Considered the last great Prussian Baroque palace.

This was the last royal residence of

Great King Friedrich.

All of these pictures are from inside the palace.

Just amazing detail and grandeur in my opinion.

Hope you enjoyed her stop in Germany.

In other news,

Mikayla almost burned down my 

daughters house the other day.

She decided to make homemade popcorn.

Put the butter in the pan.

Went into her bedroom to facetime a boy,

forgetting about the butter.

When the smoke alarm went off,

the microwave was already melted above the stove.

She called her mom and said,

"Mom not sure if the microwave will work anymore."

My daughter got home and smelled

 the smoke from her yard.

She went inside looked at her kitchen,

and walked out and called me.

Mom she said, I had to walk out before I killed someone.

I said "who are you going to kill"

She said "Mikayla"

I then said what did she do?

She told me and said said she was going to the bar.

All I said back was dont drink

 too much and try to drive home.

I then called Mikayla.

A claim was made for the repairs and

a cleaning crew will come in to remove 

all of the smoke. There was soot on all of the walls.  

That same evening there was a warehouse

explosion that made the national news.

That building was 6 miles from my daughter's.

Same daughter as I only have one.

This was around 9:00 now.

She called me again asking if I could hear anything.

I am 45 min from her. I did not.

She heard the explosions for over an hour.

Was getting emergency notifications on her phone

not to go outside.

She thought a war had started it was that bad.

Unfortunately a young 19 year old man

died from debris a mile away.

I pray for his family.

Such a tragic loss.

Lauren from Rugs and Pugs

inquired on sending a birthday card to Larry.

If anyone would like to, please send me an email.

primsbythewater@yahoo.com

and I will give you my address to send to me.

I will then give them to him at his party 

at the end of the month.

Thank you.

Have to get to work.

It's almost the weekend.

German Blessings To All!
