It’s Saturday morning and we’re contractually obligated to head over Madisonville to get our weekend morning coffee from Biggby…
Especially since Biggby had a BOGO coupon on their Instagram…
Wouldn’t that be awesome if we really were under contract to drink Biggby hot chocolate and post photos about it every weekend? It would be terrific. But we kind of do that every weekend anyway.
We just love our weekend morning beverages from Biggby. 😀☕️❤️

This morning we got up early to go over to get our weekend Biggby Coffee…
Genifer tried their Starry Night Latte. She said it was really good. And I got my Cocoa Carmella hot chocolate with butterscotch…
I get the same thing every time. Once we had our drinks, we headed over to Kroger to get some groceries. Valentine’s Day is next weekend and the Valentine’s Day stuff was pretty much everywhere…
We saw another chocolate Perfect Man…
We saw the perfect Valentine for a man…
All these adorable llamas said hey…
Also, chocolate Easter bunnies are out on shelf at Kroger…
I don’t know when Easter is this year. But it feels pretty early for Easter bunnies.
And we saw this panda bear in the international food aisle…
The panda was filled with these weird jello cups with floating bits of fruit…
I wonder if they’re any good? The Asian section of the international food aisle is usually where the odd ball stuff is stored.
There’s always something mildly interesting at the grocery store. 😀☕️💗❣️❤️

This morning we got up early and went to Trader Joe’s and then to Kroger for groceries. Afterward, we stopped at Biggby Coffee for our weekend morning drinks…
It was kind of a sports Saturday. We watched Leicester draw with Chelsea, Xavier beat #10 Seton Hall, the second half of Wolves super boring draw with United, Michigan beat #25 Rutgers. And later, #23 Wichita State lost to Tulsa. The two underdogs we were cheering for won but the favorited Shockers lost and both of our soccer teams drew.
We finished watching 11.22.63 on Hulu. It was really good. We wished it would have kept going for more episodes. We started watching a new series on Netflix. This one is called The Stranger. It seems like another pretty good one. 😀☕️⚽️🏀📺❤️

After Cincinnati Museum Center, we continued my birthday theme of celebrating with things that are Cincinnati wonderful. And we stopped for lunch at another place that’s older than I am, Camp Washington Chili…
I’d had Camp Washington Chili at the Coney Eating Contests on Fountain Square but we’d never been to their restaurant for some reason. We thought we’d change that today for my birthday lunch…
Genifer ordered two chili cheese sammiches…
I ordered a patty melt and a cheese coney and we shared some french fries…
Everything was delicious! And there was so much stuff on their menu that sounded great. I can’t wait to come back to Camp Washington Chili because next time I have to try their 513 Way…
It’s three slabs of goetta topped with chili, beans, onions, and cheese. It doesn’t get much more Cincinnati than that. Before we left, we got a couple of pieces of cake for us to eat later…
Genifer got carrot cake because she loves carrot cake…
And I got chocolate cake for my birthday cake…
What a delicious birthday lunch. Thanks, Camp Washington Chili! 😀🧀🌭🎂❤️
ps. I had a really great birthday. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

This morning we woke up early again to head over to Trader Joe’s before it got too crazy busy on Saturday. The later it gets, the busier it gets. We usually try to get to Trader Joe’s as close to 8am when it open as we can. This morning was our best time
so far. We pulled into their parking lot at 8:02am…
I just thought that little berry bunny was pretty cute. We didn’t get any frozen chocolate cover strawberry pieces though. I wonder if they would be good?
After we were done getting groceries at TJ’s, we headed over to get our Saturday morning coffee at Biggby…
Biggby is our reward for getting up and getting groceries out of the way. We both got hot chocolates this morning. Biggby had more student artwork on display on their walls. I really liked the hills with the watercolor skies…
The owl and the elephant were really great too…
And if we had a daughter and named her Niala…
She would be Niala Fiala. Maybe Niala could be a middle name.
Later, we went over to Taft’s Brewpourium for another lunch with our gift cards we got for Christmas…
Taft’s had a new Hazelnut Latte Coffee Milk Stout on tap…
And it was really delicious. We watched the Michigan-Illinois game on our little tablet. We shared a small pizza with pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers…
We also shared some of Taft’s chicken wings…
We had six buffalo wings and six Cherrywood BBQ wings…
I think I really like the Cherrywood BBQ the best. But they’re both really good. And even though, Michigan lost. Again. It was a great lunch. We just love Taft’s pizza and wings.
Later, we started watching a series called 11.22.63 on Hulu. It’s pretty good so far. And even though it was another rainy day, it was another pretty good Saturday. 😀🌨️❤️

We had the day off work today for the MLK Jr Day holiday. This morning we got up early to run some errands. We planned on stopping to get coffee at College Hill Coffee Company in College Hill…
But they’re closed on Mondays. We picked up a refill of Mack’s allergy medicine from his vet down the street in College Hill. And then we headed over to Rookwood. We finally got coffee and hot chocolate from Joseph-Beth Booksellers. We had a couple of exchanges at J. Crew. And ran through Home goods where we saw an awesome Josh mug. You don’t see Josh mugs very often. This one will be on its way out to Boston as soon as I can find a little box to put it in…
After we were done running our errands, we had lunch at Rusty Bucket. It’s funny it seems like every time we’re over at Rookwood we end up eating lunch at Rusty Bucket…
It’s nothing fancy. It’s just really good. Genifer’s been on quite a quesadilla kick lately…
Making it two days in a row. But we shared the first one so… I had the same sammich I order every single time we go to Rusty Bucket, Chicken Finger BLT...
And we shared a piece of strawberry cheesecake for dessert…
I ate all the strawberries and whipped cream. Genifer ate the actual cheesecake.
Other than our errands, we didn’t do much else today. We walked the dogs and watched the Lakers-Celtics MLK Day NBA game and that was about it. 😀🐔❤️

It’s Saturday morning so we got up early to go get more Biggby Coffee…
This weekend we had a coupon for $1 off…
Genifer got a 20oz. Caramel Marvel latte and I got a 24oz. Cocoa Carmella hot chocolate with some butterscotch flavoring added to it…
Biggby’s coffee is sooo good. When we got home with our Biggby coffees, we made some delicious cinnamon rolls for breakfast…
What a great way to start a weekend. 😀☕️❤️

Genifer had to go into work for a little bit this morning. When she got home, we headed over to Skyline in St. Bernard for some Skyline Time! It’s been a minute since we last had Skyline time. I got a Skyline gift card for Christmas but wouldn’t you know I left it on our dining room table…
Mmmm… Cheese coneys and chili cheese sammiches are so good. YUM! 😀🧀🌭❤️

This afternoon, we drove over to Rookwood Commons to go to BJ’s Brewhouse for their awesome Sunday Happy Hour during the final Sunday of the NFL regular season…
We started with a couple of beers. Genifer likes their PM Porter and I usually go for their Tatonka Stout. We also had some mozzarella sticks…
We planned to order more food for lunch but the normally reliable bar service at BJs was just horrendous today. Apparently, the bartender was really hungover and didn’t feel like waiting on anybody. We couldn’t even manage to flag him down to refill our water. So we broke camp and went to Taft’s Brewpourium for pizza and wings…
The pizza and wings were awesome. And our Cowboys won big but the Eagles won too. So the Cowboys will be watching the playoffs with the rest of us. 😀🏈🍺🧀🍕🐔❤️

This afternoon we ran back over to Kenwood Town Center. Genifer got me a new iPad for Christmas. We just had to pick it up at the Apple Store. We wandered around for the mall for a bit afterward. Genifer found a new shirt for New Year’s Eve. Other than that, it was pretty uneventful. I did see these very handsome fancy fox sirs…
After walking around the mall, we stopped at Revolution Rotisserie again for lunch. We shared pimento cheese dip, BBQ boneless chicken wings, and some tots…
It was a really good lunch and another fun afternoon during our long holiday break.
😀🦊🐔❤️
