Oscar hung out in Mack’s crate all day today while we were in the office…
I guess he was thinking that since he never really has to go in a crate that he would hang out in one today. He’s a little silly head. 😀🐾❤️
Also working from home: Day 3 is in the books. It was another really successful, good day without any real problems.

The Big Dipper is back at Pizza Hut for a limited time. And after a little badgering, Genifer finally agreed to let me order it for dinner. And tonight was the night! I ordered it from the Pizza Hut in St. Bernard and we ventured out to pick it up…
Odd enough, this photo from the first time I ever had Pizza Hut’s Big Dipper is my most favorited photo on Flickr. Kind of weird that’s the photo people liked the most.
I was so excited as I loaded it into our car, and it took up almost all of the entire back seat. We hadn’t had a Big Dipper in almost five years…
And there it is…
The Big Dipper…
It was really good stuff. But holy geez, that’s a lot of dippers. 😀🍕❤️
And now, I’m good on Big Dipper for another five years.

Mack seems to have taken to me working from home pretty well…
He just crashed out on his dog bed in the office for most of the day while I worked on my stuff. He’s been really good hanging out with me so far. Genifer is at home too on Tuesdays. Oscar got to hang out with her all day. Oscar probably likes hanging out with her better because he gets to hang out with Genifer in one of the bigger rooms away from Mack for most of the day. 😀🐾❤️
Working from home isn’t too bad at all. Everything is going pretty smooth so far.

My photos on Google Maps/Local Guides just went over 20 million views…
It’s a pretty big accomplishment to me. It’s nice to still be popular. And it’s pretty neat.
Thanks for giving me another way to share my photos, Google! 😀🗺📷❤

We had spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread for dinner tonight…
Hmmm…
These meatballs need some dust cheese…
That’s better. I love spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread. 😀🍝❤️

On Friday, Grey Midwest had a trial run of all employees working from home. About half way through the day, it was recommended that all Grey Midwest employees should work from home until further notice. So this morning was the first official day of my working from home. Thankfully, we have our terrific little work space setup on our second floor, and it will finally get put to good use…
I pulled in some dog beds from upstairs and barricaded us in the office…
And I got to have some of my giant Lunchables I got at the grocery for lunch…
Everything worked really well. And it was so nice and quiet. Our internet was able to keep up with all the video conference calls and meetings. The dogs were really good all day. And I continue to make small adjustments to my working from home set-up but I’m really feeling it so far…
It’s definitely not terrible. I think I could get used to working from home. 😀🏡💻❤️
For the time being, Genifer still has to go into the office to work. Hopefully, she’ll be able to work from home soon too.

I really love milk & mocha bear. As a pretty big introvert, I really love the notion of working from home. And it looks like, over the next few weeks (maybe months), I’m going to get to see if working from home is as nice as I think it would be.
I hope everyone is going to be okay with their working from home, social distancing and self quarantines. Just like mocha bear, for me, it’s pretty heavenly. 😀🐻❤️

Despite the world starting to spiral into a pandemic-induced panic, we went out for pizza tonight at our favorite pizza joint, Taft’s Brewpourium. Hamilton County and Cincinnati still don’t have any confirmed cases of the Corona Virus. But you really wouldn’t know it because we practically had the entire Brewpourium all to ourselves…
And little did we know that it would be the last time we’d be dining out at a restaurant for the foreseeable future…
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced on Saturday that the Ohio Department of Health issued a Director’s Order that will close all Ohio bars and restaurants to in-house patrons, effective at 9:00 pm, March 15, 2020. Restaurants with take-out and delivery options will still be able to operate those services, even as their dining rooms are temporarily closed.
Our world will probably never be the same after the Corona Virus. But hopefully, we can get Taft’s delicious New Haven-style pizza again sometime soon. 😀🍕🍺❤️

A while back a little coffeehouse in Cincinnati’s Camp Washington neighborhood followed me on Instagram. I followed them back. And I’ve been admiring them ever since. The coffeehouse was called Sunny Blu Coffeehouse. And this morning, we finally drove around the corner to Camp Washington to see what they were all about…
Sunny Blu Coffeehouse is super cute on the inside…
Genifer ordered a cappuccino with a little caramel added to it. I pondered what I would get for literally one second before ordering the Hot Vanilla Chocolate. People love their coffee, I love hot chocolate.
Sunny Blu also had some terrific-looking sweets…
But I had to try their french toast breakfast sammich. And we got these Cold Brew Cocktails to try later…
Their french toast breakfast sammich was out-of-this-world good…
We really like Sunny Blu Coffeehouse…
And the best part is that Sunny Blu is located right on our way downtown. Camp Washington is conveniently located between Northside and Over-the-Rhine/Central Business District. It’s great to have another wonderful coffee that we can stop at on our way downtown in the morning. If we ever get to go back downtown again, that is.
I love Google Maps too…
And we love Sunny Blu. We can’t wait to come back. Very often. 😀🌞🔵☕️❤️
Oh, and the cold brew cocktails were really good too. Strong. But really tasty.
