Happy Foursquare Day!

Today was Foursquare Day (4.16)…

Good morning from Northside…

And time for post-walk treats…

After work, we tried a couple of beers from my parents trip out west…

The tangerine citrus ale was pretty good but the blueberry wheat was outstanding.

Good evening from Northside…

We ordered off the kids menu for dinner tonight…

It was pretty good start to the weekend. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„βœˆοΈπŸΎπŸ»β€οΈ

Just a quick visit.

Good morning from Northside…

This afternoon my very favoritest soccer team, Arsenal played the second leg of their Europa League tie against Slavia Prague in Prague.

The match was the first game since Slavia Prague’s Ondrej Kudula was found guilty of racially abusing Rangers’ Glen Kamara last month and was duly banned for 10 matches by UEFA.

The official statement said they decided “to suspend SK Slavia Praha player, Ondrej Kudela, for the next 10 UEFA club and representative team competition matches for which he would otherwise be eligible to play, for racist behavior.”

Ahead of the match, Slavia Prague players refused to take the knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Arsenal striker and match captain, Alexander Lacazette chose to move a number of steps ahead of his teammates to stare down his opponents while taking the knee…

Given the situation, Lacazette’s stance was particularly poignant. And it’s very a powerful image. There is no place for racism in football nor wider society.

Arsenal scored three goals in an astonishing six-minute flurry. The Gunners ended up winning the match 4-0 with Lacazette netting a brace to knock Slavia Prague out of the tournament 5-1 on aggregate.

Later, we saw another patch of weeds that looked like a stylized little mini forest…

Good evening from Northside…

My parents stopped in town for the evening on their way home from a long road trip out west. We went to Taft’s Brewpourium for dinner…

Genifer just had her nails down earlier in the day…

Taft’s had a jumbo shrimp special tonight. We shared those and loaded tots. And we brought a large Taft’s pizza home with us…

It was wonderful to get to see my parents, even if it was just for a quick visit this evening. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„βš½οΈπŸŒ²πŸ•β€οΈ

Like little mini forests.

Good morning from Northside…

On our way home, we walked by one of the houses that’s being renovated and I thought the weeds looked like a very cool, stylized little mini forest…

These too actually…

Now I want to grab my iPad and spend the day drawing forests.

Good evening from Northside…

And we’ve made it halfway through another week. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸŒ²β€οΈ

Dang! Birthday quesadillas.

The sunrise was very pretty this morning…

Good morning from Northside…

Our Edible Arrangement was delivered this afternoon…

We really like the Edible Arrangements.

And good evening from Northside…

It was nice enough this evening that we got to hang out in our backyard for a bit…

Then we ordered Dang! Quesadilla through DoorDash…

We tried a brisket quesadilla, kids (plain) quesadilla and a veggie quesadilla…

And they were all really tasty. We’ll definitely be ordering quesadillas again from Dang!

It turned out to be a pretty nice Tuesday. I hope Genifer had a good birthday.

Today was Genifer’s birthday!

Happy birthday to my beautiful wife. I love you so much, Genifer. I hope you had a wonderful, special day. πŸ˜€πŸ˜πŸ₯°πŸŽ‚πŸŽˆπŸŽπŸŽ‰β€οΈ

A new little record table.

It was another overcast and grey Monday morning…

Good morning from Northside…

But it was all blue skies and puffy white clouds this evening…

Good evening from Northside…

We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was French Onion Chicken with peppercorn green beans…

It was another terrific dinner! And the beans were delicious with the crispy onions on them. We really like theΒ Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kitsΒ a lot. And after dinner, we put together this new little record table for our living room…

Now we just need some more records and maybe a better record player with some little speakers or something…

It was another pretty good Monday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸŒ€οΈπŸ½οΈπŸŽ΅β€οΈ

Dropping off or picking up?

Good morning from Northside…

We saw a couple of Northside sidewalk snails on our walk this morning…

We’ve been working on some spring cleaning and gathering things that we didn’t use anymore to donate…

We gathered a bunch of stuff…

On the way home, we stopped at Flamingo Haven Antique Mall…

Because we just dropped off a bunch of junk, why not replace it with other junk?

We didn’t get anything but we fun wandering around and looking at all the stuff…

And good evening from Northside…

It was another pretty good Sunday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸŒβ˜•οΈπŸ›οΈβ€οΈ

Trader’s World & Two Cities Pizza Co.

It was grey and rainy Saturday morning…

Good morning from Northside…

This morning we drove up north to Trader’s World

We were looking for some planters or a little stone bench for our side yard…

There wasn’t any of what we were looking for. But it you were looking for FunkoPops, you were definitely in the right place…

And hot sauce. They also had hot sauce…

It was a very odd place…

We didn’t find anything at Trader’s World. It was kind of a bust.

On our way back to Cincinnati, we stopped to try Two Cities Pizza Co. in Mason…

Two Cities has both New York style and Chicago style deep dish pizzas…

We were so hungry. We started salads…

Two Cities makes their own ranch dressing…

We ordered both a Chicago style deep dish AND a New York style pizza…

Both pizzas were delicious. Genifer liked the New York style best…

I liked the Chicago style deep dish best…

And because it was our first visit, they brought us little warm powdered donuts…

The restrooms were like New York subway cars…

What a terrific place with delicious, delicious pizzas!

When we got home, we took the dogs around the block…

Good evening from Northside…

Later, we had leftover pizza because we had a bunch…

πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸŒ§οΈπŸ›οΈπŸ•β€οΈ

A beautiful Friday afternoon.

It was really beautiful outside this afternoon, so we took the dogs on an early walk…

And by the time it was six o’clock, the sun had disappeared and it was overcast and grey…

Not the best start to the weekend. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸŒ€οΈβ˜οΈπŸ˜β€οΈ

Hello from Northside.

We were still a little tired and achy this morning from our vaccinations yesterday…

Good morning from Northside…

And good evening from Northside…

Later this evening, it got really overcast…

And here are a couple of Oscar photos that showed up in my Timehop today…

Back when we had grass in our backyard. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸΎβ€οΈ
