We ran a bunch of errands this afternoon to get our house closer to being ready for my family who will all be visiting in from around the country next weekend. While we were out and about, we found these adorable little ottomans…

We’re so excited to see everyone next weekend! 😀🏡❤️

Unfortunately, this afternoon was my final Summer Hours of the year. To celebrate, we walked down Hamilton Avenue to check out the newly reopened Melt Eclectic Cafe Northside. We had been to Melt in their old location up Hamilton Avenue where Bridges now resides. But hadn’t made it to Melt’s new home in the Gantry yet. We were pretty excited to finally get to check it out…










Genifer had an Indian Summer…

I had a Left-handed Milk Stout…

There were so many things on Melt’s menu that sounded really delicious…

Genifer ordered The Maureen, lime cilantro tuna salad, swiss, Roma tomato, and mixed greens, baked on Shadeau’s multigrain bread with a side of hummus & Plocky’s Black Bean Tortilla Chips…

And I ordered The Rachel, smoked turkey breast, ruby kraut, Swiss, tangy sauce, baked on Sixteen Brick’s OTR Rye with a side of mac & cheese…

Lunch was outstanding and the drinks were splendid. We can’t wait to for our next visit to Melt so we can try some more of the items on their incredible menu. Next time, I’m going to get a ladle of Melt’s signature black bean chili over their amazing mac & cheese. YUM! 😀❤️

It was a steamy morning after a very rainy night…


Good morning from Northside as seen from our bedroom window. 😀❤️

I absolutely love how much greenery there is to be seen all around from atop the hill at the end of our street…

Every time we walk Oscar up the hill, I always marvel at how pretty it is up there…

Looking back over our shoulders, some storm clouds were starting to roll in…


And then it rained for the rest of the evening. 😀🌳☁️❤️

Tonight, Genifer made another one of Kroger’s Prep+Pared meals. This time it was their Chicken Enchiladas Rojas with smashed avocado and pico de gallo…



And this dinner was every bit as delicious as the others…

All the Prep+Pared meals we’ve tried have been very delicious! I don’t know which one is my favorite. 😀🌯❤️

It was a pretty evening for walking Oscar and walking off those burgers. 😀☁️

Tonight, we fired up the grill again for some burgers…











And the burgers were delicious. We love our grill. 😀❤️🍔

There were some really big pretty clouds up in the sunny blue skies this evening if you could see them past all the overhead wires. 😀🌤️
