All posts for the month March, 2018

Today was a big day.

After my hip replacement surgery, I spent all of February walking with crutches. At the beginning of March, I progressed to walking with a cane. This morning I walked from our office on Eighth Street to get my haircut on Fourth Street, and I deliberately left my cane at the office when I left for my appointment…

I walked to my haircut and back to the office without any problems or any pain. It was a pretty amazing feeling to walk across downtown again without help, without a limp and without any pain. It was a very proud moment for me. Today marks the day that after about three years, my hip felt normal again. That’s been a long time coming. 😀🏥👍❤️

Hello Spring!

Today is the first day of Spring! So why is so cold? And rainy and grey?

Taken with Instagram. 😀🌻❤️

It’s what’s for dinner.

Kroger keeps churning out different variations of their Prep+Pared meal kits. We’ve really enjoyed them all. The meal kit we tried tonight was Hummus Baken Chicken with feta and vegetable orzo…

It was another hit. This meal kit was one of my favorites. The baked chicken was covered with delicious hummus which became a breading of sorts. And the rice, vegetable orzo, feta combination was outstanding. I could definitely eat this meal over and over. 😀🐔❤️

Good morning from Northside.

There was another really pretty sunrise this morning…

The morning sunlight was so pretty coming through our third-floor bedroom window as we headed out to start our day…

Good morning from Northside. 😀🌄❤️

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY! We walked across Northside to Boswell’s late this afternoon…

We met up our friends Chris and Tayler at Boswell’s. Genifer and I shared some delicious Bos Bites smothered in Bos sauce…

Genifer had a Super Grill and I had a Reuben. Both were delicious. Genifer’s green was her Golden Girls Sophia pin…

From Boswell’s, we walked over to Higher Gravity…

And there were some Irish Car Bombs…

We watched our FC Cincinnati win their first game of the 2018 season 1-0 away to Charleston Battery. We ended up hanging out at Higher Gravity to watch Michigan’s miraculous madness last-second 64-63 win over Houston to advance Michigan to the Sweet Sixteen. After the game, Michigan head coach John Beilein’s locker antics were pretty awesome. It was an amazing ending to a great day…

Yep. It was a pretty great St. Patrick’s Day! 😀🍀🍻❤️

A Friday night treat.

This evening Genifer brought us home a pre-St. Patrick’s Day treat… A growler of the Chocolate Mint Imperial Stout that tasted just like a Girl Scouts Thin Mint cookie from The Woodburn Brewery Taproom in East Walnut Hills…
