Germany: Checkpoint Charlie Museum, Berlin

 


 Happy New Year! I am extremely grateful for God's mercy in Christ by giving me my family, my grandbabies, my pets, my liberty --- my Life in general. 

I need only to see our many pictures from the amazing  CHECKPOINT CHARLIE Museum in Berlin to prompt even more gratefulness on my part. I currently have, thank God, what people in the past were desperate to obtain. They went through extreme danger or even death to have a brighter future for themselves and for their loved ones, or to have the basic human right of FREEDOM from the iron-grip of a Socialist government. I highly recommend ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ a visit.  Here are a few of the pics ...

Renovated, Gorgeous and Light-filled Apartment in Germany

 While we were in Europe:  The homeowners  are friends of my son's family. The most complicated change was for Z & R to move the kitchen from the back of the home to the front -- the result was  amazing. The home's stucco ceiling was left intact and slightly improved as needed.  Modern furniture, simple Art,  thriving plants, and pretty wood floors combine to give an even better Wow-factor to this beautiful 100 year-old historic space. I was impressed!
