A morning trip to Trade Joe’s.

Good morning from Northside…

We ventured out to Trader Joe’s this morning before work, and on the way across town the sunrise sky was so beautiful…

It’s been a minute since we’ve been to Trader Joe’s…

And Mad Llama is right around the corner from Trader Joe’s (kind of)…

When we got home, we finished up our work week before having Trader Joe’s delicious Mandarin Orange Chicken for dinner…

Good evening from Northside…

And then we all crashed out…

It was another long week. Thank goodness it’s Friday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„β˜€οΈπŸ₯‘πŸ”β€οΈ

The best thing to do.

I love Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. πŸ˜€πŸ»πŸ·β€οΈ

With… Sprinkles.

Good morning from Northside…

The front yard of the house at the end of the street is out of control…

Genifer made P.F. Chang’s Orange Chicken for dinner tonight…

And she made dumplings too…

For dessert, she bought home a three big of cookies from Taste of Belgium

I thought the sugar cookie with sprinkles was the best one…

But maybe I just really like Sprinkles.

And good evening from Northside…

And the evening always ends with ball in the backyard. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ₯‘πŸͺ❀️

Mondays are always hard.

Good morning from Northside…

And good evening from Northside…

Not a cloud in the sky all day long. And then we just crashed out…

We just blew through both The Five and Safe. Both of the series were based on books by Harlan Coben and both were really outstanding. They had so many twists and turns. We never would have guessed the ending in either series. They were sooo good.

And that was another Monday in the books. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸΎπŸ“Ίβ€οΈ

Google Maps Local Guides Level 9!

I FINALLY DID IT! I just made it to Local Guide Level 9! I’ve been plugging away and working really hard on my Google Maps/Local Guides. I’ve been posting photos and reviews of every place we visit to try to inch myself from Level 8 up to Level 9. I’ve been painfully close to level 9 for a while, and this evening I finally made it…

HOORAY for Level 9! It doesn’t really mean much to anyone other than me. I don’t get anything. I just think it’s fun. It’s kind of like my Swarm. It’s another way to share our experiences and especially another place to share all the dang photos I take of every little thing every single day.

And that’s really why I like Google Maps Local Guides! #LetsGuide πŸ˜€πŸ—ΊοΈπŸ“·9⃣❀️

#TBT Pause for paws.

These photos of Oscar popped up in my Timehop

He was so cute and so fuzzy in these photos. Thanks for the memories, Timehop. πŸ˜€πŸ¦•πŸΎβ€οΈ

Burger King and some whaaaat?

Good morning from Northside…

We were so lazy today. We laid around all morning. Finally, we started to get hungry and ventured out of the house. On our way to get lunch, we stopped to get gas in Finneytown…

And there was this sticker on our pump…

And then it was onto the Home of the Whopper. We ordered a BK feast through the Burger King App…

Usually, Burger King is reserved only for road trips. But it just sounded really good today. And we ordered a bunch so we’d have snack for later.

I’m just going to leave these scores here without comment…

😳😬😲 What makes it even more nuts is when you combine today’s Liverpool and United results with last weekend’s thumping of City by Leicester…

It brings me great joy whenever United or Liverpool lose. And to have them both great thumped on the same day, just makes for a really great Sunday. Now I have a couple of matches to go back and watch to see just what the heck happened.

Good evening from Northside…

And we finished our Sunday with ball in our backyard until it got too dark…

We had a very nice, lazy and relaxing Sunday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ”πŸ‘‘πŸ“Ίβš½οΈβ€οΈ

Hello from Northside.

Good morning from Northside…

Since they’re finally done working on our street, we moved our stones and bricks back to their original place in our front yard…

I think we’re going to come out of the water main replacement on our street with only losing a couple of flowers. And that’s really not too bad.

And after our fun afternoon, good evening from Northside…

My Minnesota United was playing FC Cincinnati tonight at Minnesota. Apparently even with the pandemic, a ban on spectators at the matches AND the match being played all the way in Minnesota, FC Cincinnati matches are still blacked out on ESPN+…

Come to find out that thankfully, you can actually stream the FC|C matches through YouTubeTV now…

Minnesota United knocked off FC Cincy 2-0. And Louisville City neat Swope Park Rangers 2-1. It was a great way to end a really fun day. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ“Ίβš½οΈβ€οΈ

Covington Yard & Holiday Spirits.

This afternoon we headed out to cross the river over into Kentucky…

On our way, we drove by the new soccer stadium in the West End…

It looks pretty nice. Too bad the team that will be playing in the there is so terrible. We also drove by our old apartment building

And then it was over the river into Kentucky…

And then we were at Covington Yard

Genifer had a sangria slushie…

There are three shipping containers restaurants at Covington Yard: Mr. Bulgogi Korean BBQ, Django Western Taco and Yardbird…

We can get delicious Django tacos whenever we want and Mr. Bulgogi wasn’t open so we shared their delicious chicken sammich and fries from Yardbird…

That chicken sammich was really delicious.

Genifer had a bourbon slush and I had a Mango Cart…

Covington Yard is so fun. On our way back home, we stopped in Over-the-Spirits at Holiday Spirits

We talked about all the trips we’d like to take when the pandemic is over.

And we watched a Black Lives Matter march go by on Liberty Street…

There was the new stadium again…

And we’ve come full circle. We had a really fun afternoon. πŸ˜€πŸ”πŸŸπŸ»β€οΈ

I’m really bad at painting.

The trees colors are starting to change up on top of the hill at the end of our street…

Good morning from Northside…

We walked to Sidewinder to get Friday morning coffee…

And good evening from Northside…

We had delicious ramen noodles for dinner tonight…

We’ve been working on staining our new backyard fence

It turns out I’m not very good at painting at all…

Thank goodness it’s Friday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„β˜•οΈπŸœβ€οΈ
