Tini Bikini Building ~ 4/23/15

The day started with another tour of the soon to be purchased ex-Tini Bikini Bar, which was to become the new home of Heartside Ministry & Art Studio (that did not happen).

I hadn't been in the basement yet due to the dark and lack of flashlights. And here it is - eww!

The main floor and the two upper floors looked the same other than water damage that occurred over the winter.

And repairs of the front from the driving-into-the-window-incident last year revealed original tiling and a painted over tin ceiling.

The musty smell and bad atmosphere were palpable to everyone.

Heartside Ministry never bought the building and as of December 2023 the building is still vacant.

Smokey and Spring ~ 4/18/15

We finally hit the 70s and no Michigander would have been caught dead inside today.  A little yard work was in order and then relaxing with Smokey who is all about relaxing.

It finally got a little warm for this fat cat and she had to find shade.

She later joined me for a little reading and appreciated the newly cleaned out birdbaths.

It's staying light so wonderfully long now and I like to take a pass through the yard and the edge of the woods to take photos in the setting light. Hyacinths and forsythia are joining the daffodil party, and what could be better than flowers, happy cats, and happy people in this long-awaited happy spring. Cheers!
