For just the ninth time, I went over 3000 points for the week on my Swarm.

Oscar and Mack love hanging out under our dining room table like it’s their special dog fort or something…

And we played in our backyard for a while this evening…


Ugh. Our backyard is just… ugh. But it was still a really fun Sunday. 😀🐾❤️

This afternoon we went across the Ohio River back into Kentucky over to Covington to finally check out Libby’s Southern Comfort for brunch…




We had one of those Cherrywine Bourbon Slushes that we’ve heard so much about…

And they definitely lived up to the hype…

They were delicious. We shared some goetta hushpuppies…

Genifer had a house salad…

I had their oyster po’ boy…

Behind the bar, they had a whole bunch of really old bourbons…

Including one from the year I was born…

I wanted to ask how much a shot of it was, but didn’t get the chance. I can’t imagine that those were cheap. At all. Libby’s was really good. But it was also a bit on the expensive side for brunch. I’m glad we got to try it but I don’t think we’ll be rushing right back until I get a bonus or something.
After we were finished eating, we walked around the corner to Braxton Brewing…




Last night was the grand opening of Braxton’s new rooftop patio…

The elevator wasn’t working so we had to take the stairs…


We were getting our steps today, that’s for sure…






Their rooftop patio os beautiful and so big with some great views…

I can’t believe I didn’t take a photo of downtown Cincinnati for up here. But oh well…
what are you going to do? Guess we’ll have to get one next time.

It’s always fun to check out other neighborhoods. We #LOVEtheCOV but we’re sticking with our Northside. 😀🥃🍺❤️

And look at all those beautiful, out-of-focus dogs…


Ohmigosh. Why does everything taste sooo good when it comes off the grill? 😀🍔🌭❤️

After making a run to Trader Joe’s this morning, we got to stop at another new coffee shop. This morning’s pick was the new Apricot Coffee House in Pleasant Ridge…








Genifer had a latte. You could see the flower pattern through the lid…

And they had donuts from Starlight Doughnut Lab…

I had the Choc Norris cold brew, cacao and banana smoothie with a mint chocolate donut from Starlight Doughnuts Lab…


Apricot Coffee House is a great little coffee shop. We’ll definitely be back! 😀☕️🍩❤️

Oven pizzas are always great. 😀🍕❤️

This evening FC Cincinnati played host to Wayne Rooney and DC United. It was the other match that we were kinda excited about this season because of who was going to be on the pitch tonight at Nippert Stadium. They were handing out terrific
little FC Cincinnati away jersey rally towels before today’s match…

And that’s pretty cool because I really have a thing for rally towels. I love them…


The match was being televised on ESPN as the Match of the Week or something and that meant there were cameras everywhere…


It was a white-out at Nippert Stadium for today’s match…

All of a sudden it made sense why they were giving out white away jersey rally towels. And there he is…

The man. The Myth. The Legend…

Wayne Rooney…

I was also rather surprised at how many people brought their Wayne Rooney jerseys to the match in hopes that Wayne would sign them…


He didn’t sign one of them. In fact, he didn’t even look it their direction…














At halftime, FC|C honored Cincinnati native and World Cup champion, Rose Lavelle…








So that was pretty neat to see Rose Lavelle…





And that was that. DC United won 4-1 and Wayne Rooney one-upped Zlatan and scored at Nippert Stadium. After the match was mercifully over, we stopped at Penn Station for sammiches while we waited for the Uber prices to stop surging…

Unlike FC|C, Penn Station is sooo good. 😀⚽️❤️

This evening we went to see Third Eye Blind play at Riverbend’s PNC Pavilion…































It was an incredible show! Third Eye Blind is just amazing live. I posted a few more videos of their performance to my Instagram. What a show! What a night! 😀🎸🎶❤️
And on the way to our car, we got a beautiful view of tonight’s full moon…

😀🌕❤️
