cogito ergo sum

Happy #313 #detroit Today also marks the day Michigan went into #covid_19 #lockdown #stayhomestaysafe. The world never felt the same since last year...maybe ever post #pandemic. But we're still here...so enjoy and appreciate this little moment of sunny, beautiful weather. It's still cold but the sun is out in a perfect blue, cloudless skies. #stannedetroit #ambassadorbridge #michigandepot #trainstation #mexicantown #detroit313 (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXh_KAjSKT/?igshid=zwvfz490ol6y

No longer a full circle. Pinkish #snowmoon lits up the sky tonight. Looking forward to tomorrow's 50 degree weather. Freezing this evening. #moon #winter2021 #night (at Livonia, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL5tZUGjW7E/?igshid=nhvqe73tk9s1

#Detroit drive by shooting. Lost my way on Elmhurst Street and found this art deco style apartment building. Definitely a #deservetopreserve property. This will take time and lot of cash! #architecture #solid #apartment #artdeco (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5gAvGPlJe3/?igshid=nydgq4foifan

Timeless. Classic. #docmartens My #boots from college are still kicking after 30+ years. Expensive but well worth it for the quality and reliability. Hope you can still get those made in England. I heard some Chinese company already bought #dms and Chinese made ones have counterfeit quality. Sad, really. (at Von Maur) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jHFOSFPVF/?igshid=1khh0jghhvpzy

Took nearly 2 years after sitting abandoned and neglected for nearly 2 decades. Too many dramas and seemingly endless setbacks in building and restoring this 110 year old house are nothing compared to the what was accomplished. There were times when I almost gave up but I kept pushing because I know and feel that it will be worthwhile. It is still a work in progress but it is decent now for a show and tell. Lol. Open house parties to follow 😊. I am grateful to many...especially to my Mom and Mr. Hobbie, to YouTube DIYers, #Menards, to #Lowes, #HomeDepot and to everyone who sent positive vibes and encouragement. The journey and struggle were so worth it. #flippingkeni #diy #rehab #detroit #northend #ardenpark #bostonedison #thisoldhouse #deservetopreserve #restore #theysaiditcantbedone #ididit #grateful #foursquare #farmhouse (at North End, Detroit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RgO43lF_L/?igshid=1a5vuyyefeiy1
