Timehopping.

It’s April 16th! Happy Foursquare Day! April 16th? 4.16… Four-squared. Get it?

Three years ago, we were at our third Reds baseball game of the season. We stopped before the game to find our Reds All-Star Legacy brick again…

While we were still sitting in the down the third place line, one of the Brewers hit a line drive foul ball that ricocheted off some seats, bounced off the nacho concession stand behind us, landed a few rows behind us and rolled under the seats and Genifer reached over to pick it up in the row behind us. And after 200+ Reds games, we finally had our first foul ball…

Thanks for all the really wonderful memories, Timehop. 😀⚾️❤️

Line to enter starts here.

We ran over to Trader Joe’s this morning. We were pretty surprised to see that they were limiting the number of customers to 30 people in the store at a time…

The line wasn’t very long. There were only three or four people ahead of us. Once we got into Trader Joe’s, it was pretty much like having the store to ourselves…

On the way home, we stopped to get coffee from Mad Llama, and we were back home in time for my first meeting of the morning. 😀🛍️☕️❤️

It’s Skyline Timehopping!

Four years ago, I was a third place winner in Skyline Chili’s Home Plate Sweepstakes 2016! I won this really sweet Skyline Reds ball cap and a $25 Skyline gift card!

And it’s been one of my favorite ball caps ever since. Thanks for all the really wonderful memories, Timehop. 😀🦕⚾️🍝🧀🌭❤️

Happy Jackie Robinson Day!

Jackie Robinson made history when he broke baseball’s color barrier on April 15, 1947.

Every year on April 15th, Major League Baseball joins together to celebrate the life and career of Jackie Robinson with Jackie Robinson Day. Today is an opportunity for people around the world to look back on the courage and strength one man displayed that would inspire generations to come…

Although we are unable to celebrate this special day at the ballpark, we can still join baseball’s salute to Jackie Robinson this year. At MLB.com/42, there are activities for kids to learn more about Jackie’s accomplishments, along with a schedule of programs on MLB.com and MLB Network celebrating Jackie’s legacy. 😀⚾️❤️

Northside sidewalk snail.

We saw our first Northside sidewalk snail of the season this morning…

Snails are so neat. I can’t wait until we start seeing more on our walks in the morning.
😀🐌❤️

Pause for paws.

Oscar is so fuzzy. And so sleepy. His groomer is not taking any appointments until well into May. We might have to figure out how to cut his hair by ourselves. 😀🐾❤️

Good evening from Northside.

Taglio birthday pizza.

After we were down with work this evening, we drove down into Over-the-Rhine to get some carry-out birthday pizza and salads for Genifer’s birthday from Taglio OtR…

Genifer had been wanting a buffalo chicken pizza for a while now. And we got a garden salad and a caesar salad…

The salads were huge…

And the buffalo chicken pizza was delicious…

Taglio’s pizza is delicious. 😀🥗🍕🎉❤️

Genifer made these homemade carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting…

And they were amazing! They were so moist and the icing was delicious! She always finds the best stuff to make! 😀🥕🧁🐰❤️

As empty as the shelves.

We usually do all of our grocery shopping at Kroger. But the last time we were going to get groceries, we noticed there were a lot fewer cars in the Meijer parking lot than in the Kroger parking lot. So this morning, we ran over to Meijer to pick up a few things…

Meijer was surprisingly empty…

And so were the shelves in the paper products aisle. The shortage is still very real…

Thankfully, we’re still good on all our paper products and toiletries. But we were really surprised by just how few people were at Meijer. It was practically just us and these adorable little turtles…
