We arrived late Friday night, and Detroit feels like heaven on earth. Just a few photos today to give you guys a sneak peak at out house up here, and a few of the things we have been doing.

This is part of my Kitchen.
The marble Counter tops are salvaged from a Detroit high school that was being torn down.
Don't they look Sexy? |

We have met a half dozen or so of our neighbors, all of whom are astonishingly friendly and welcoming. They have helped us carry stuff in, invited us over for drinks, offered hospitality and assistance, provided great advice, and overall have been exactly the neighbors I have always dreamed of! We are really looking forward to a social summer, filled with Boats, BBQ, friends and food.
More in a couple of days when we are fully unpacked!

ReplyDeleteKaren, We are using our home in Detroit as a summer home, since Stone's paycheck keeps us tethered to Houston for the moment. We will be up here until the end of August, Come over for a visit!
