Django Western Taco Tuesday.

This evening we stopped to celebrate Genifer’s new position in GCB’s HR department with a bite to eat at Django Western Taco…

Usually, we go with the old stand-bys. Genifer gets salsa, maybe some of their Django-style guacamole and a taco. I always go for the incredible chicken biscuit. But tonight Django threw us a curve ball by adding some new dishes. Like Totachos…

Tots topped with barbacoa pulled pork, queso, barbeque sauce and crema. Awe. Some. And the Chorizo Melt with chorizo, avocado and fried egg on Texas Toast…

Genifer also ordered another of our old favorites, the Jerk Chicken Quesadilla…

Outstanding stuff. Now whenever we go to Django, we’re going to be faced with some really tough decisions. And I’m good with that. 😀🌮❤️

Good morning from Northside.

Say what you will about daylight savings time, it’s been giving us some really beautiful sunrises when we’ve been waking up in the morning…

Sunrises like these almost make daylight savings time worthwhile. Almost. 😀🌄❤️

It’s what’s for dinner.

For dinner tonight, Genifer made another of the terrific Kroger Prep+Pared meals. We had one of our favorites again, the Vietnamese-Inspired spicy lemongrass pork with coconut rice & cabbage salad…

Delicious flavors. Those Kroger Prep+Pared meals are really pretty amazing. 😀🍜❤️

Good morning from Northside.

It was a very pretty morning. Really chilly, but still very pretty…

Taking Oscar out for his morning walk…

We couldn’t help but notice just how very frosty the grass was this morning…

Good morning for Northside. 😀🌄❄️❤️

UPDATE: And good evening. I took this photo after I got off the bus tonight…

So good evening from Northside too. 😀❤️

Another better than best.

Swarm is pretty silly. Lately, it seems like every week I’m setting a new personal best. Last week, I shattered my old record high by more than 400 points. I also just missed hitting 2500 points in a week for the very first time. This week I beat my personal best once again…

And I went over 2500 points in a week for the very first time…

At the end of today, I had racked up over 900 points and it’s only Monday…

I still really like my check-ins on Swarm! 😀⭐️❤️

Updating the OscarCams.

A while back, I stumbled across the very impressive WyzeCam. They’re little adjustable camera cubes that offer full HD, 1080p video via wifi with night vision and two-way audio. The best part is they’re only $20 each. So we added two WyzeCams to our living room as our new OscarCams…

They were so easy to set-up and work great for watching Oscar when we’re out of the house. And somehow this randomly terrific video showed up on my phone one day…

They’re pretty cool little cameras…

We put our EZVIZ Mini O OscarCam on the shelf in our kitchen…

Our original OscarCam kept losing its wifi connection. And every time it would try to reconnect, a loud voice would come out of the camera to tell you “wifi connecting” or “wifi connected.” It was loud and got annoying really quick. So now that came is sitting unplugged in a drawer in our office. I really like our EZVIZ Mini O. But the WyzeCam’s are my new favorites. OscarCams are fun. 😀🎦❤️

A chilly morning.

It’s really chilly this morning. Yesterday, it was in the mid-60s. This morning it’s in the mid-30s. We’re all bundled up in bed. Even Oscar covered himself up with blankets…

Brrr. It’s so chilly outside. We’re probably going to lay pretty low today. We’re not ready for the cold yet. 😀🌡️❄️❤️

Northside Saturday.

We didn’t do a lot today. It was unseasonably warm. It was in the mid-60s. Really nice. But it was crazy windy. We took advantage of it being so nice outside and walked down to Boswell’s Alley for lunch…

Genifer woke up with a hankering for Bos Bites. And I woke up wanting a Super Grill. So we had another really great Boswell’s lunch. Afterwards, we noticed this mural on the side of a building on Blue Rock Road just kitty-corner to Urban Artifact…

Humble Monk Brewing Company, formerly Rabbit Hash Brewery is coming sometime soonish to Northside. On our way home, we stopped at Higher Gravity for a beer and the second half of the Michigan-Wisconsin game. And then we came home. It was a pretty nice Saturday afternoon in Northside. 😀❤️
