Today was our last day of the our long holiday break…
And it was another grey and rainy day.
Good morning from Northside…
This morning we ran over to the grocery store to get stuff for the upcoming week…
According to the balloons at Kroger, I guess the next major holiday is the Superb Owl…
We made BLTs for lunch with turkey bacon. I really like turkey bacon a lot. I made my BLTs on little Hawaiian rolls with two slices of cheese. They were delicious…
We watched football until it was time to take the dogs on their walk.
And then it was good evening from Northside…
For dinner tonight, we enjoyed out second Lou Malnati’s deep dish pizza that JJVE sent us for Christmas. The deep dish cheese pizza was really good and we were really excited to try the pepperoni one…
It looked and smelled so good…
It was delicious! Thanks so much for the delicious pizzas, JJVE! We really enjoyed them.
For dessert, Genifer made gooey deep dish cookies with chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. And we paired the cookies with little ice cream party cups…
They were delicious as well. Genifer always finds the best recipes to make.
This evening we finished the second season of Marcella on Netflix. It’s a good show.
We had a wonderful long holiday break. NO matter how long it is, it never feels long enough. I think I always have delusions of grandeur that I’m going to get more done or get more accomplished. This time I didn’t really accomplish a whole lot. But at least, we got to hang out and spend lots of time together and watch a bunch of movies and have a great holiday. And it was very relaxing. 😀🌄☁️🎈🥪🍕🍪📺

I love this part of time off from work when you wake up in the morning and you’re not entirely certain exactly what day it is…
The clouds were so pretty this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
I ordered this adorable westie pendant for Genifer for Christmas…
I purchased it on December 12th. It didn’t ship until December 18th. It shipped USPS so it’s journey took almost forever. It arrived today. And this is what was in the box…
Delightful. Now I get to track down what I actually ordered.
Genifer ordered us Chipotle for lunch again…
It started raining this afternoon and just kept raining…
I accidentally took this photo but I kind of like it…
And a very rainy good evening from Northside…
But our basement is still completely bone dry…
Thursdays are trash and recycling days…
We had leftover lasagna for dinner with garlic bread…
I love meals with garlic bread. Genifer made deep dish cookies for dessert…
We started to watch Equinox on Netflix tonight. It seems pretty good so far.
In my Timehop from two years ago, my photos on Google Maps had just gone over 3.5 million views…
Fast forward to today and my photos have 63 million views…
And that’s pretty cool, if you ask me. Also four years ago, it snowed…
We don’t snow very often. But we do get a lot of great days, just like this one.
😀🌄☁️🌯🌧️🗺️❤️

Genifer has to work a couple of days this week. But I have the entire week off work…
Good morning from Northside…
I worked on organizing our studio office today…
Sometimes it’s hard to get Mack to come downstairs to go on walks…
Good evening from Northside…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Alfredo Penne with mozzarella. Again. We wanted to get a different meal this time. The one we wanted was something-something Caesar chicken. But I grabbed the wrong one out of the refrigerated case at the grocery…
It was another really good meal. We just wished it was a different one. But it was still a really good dinner. And we got to enjoy some more garlic bread. And I love garlic bread. We like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. And Genifer made these deep dish chocolate chip cookies…
Ohmigosh. They were so good. We paired them with little chocolate swirl ice cream cups. It was a really great dessert. The dogs new toys have their fist casualty. Oscar gnawed off one of the eyes of the avocado toy…
We had another pretty good day. Hopefully, this will be a very low-key, relaxing week at home. 😀🌄🍽️🐾❤️

It was a grey and rainy Christmas Eve morning in Northside…
Good morning from Northside…
We ran over to the grocery to pick up a few little things for Christmas dinner…
My go-to game for time wasting is We Bare Bears: Match3 Repairs. In the foyer of Kroger is one of those infuriating claw games…
And inside the infuriating claw machine was Ice Bear from We Bare Bears…
We got our Christmas items and headed over to Biggby for coffee...
When we got home, it was time for the very last day of my Lego City Advent Calendar…
And there you have it. The Lego City Advent Calendar was so much fun. I’m really going to miss putting together a little Lego set every morning…
I hope they do a new one next year. Or I’m going to have to track the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar.
And Mack was on his new dog bed the entire time I was in our studio office…
This happened rather unexpectedly…
We took the dogs out for their evening walk around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
Genifer made a bunch of delicious Christmas cookies…
We wrapped our Christmas presents. Mack watched to make sure I was doing it right…
And we put all of our presents under our tree…
Tonight, we watched The Midnight Sky on Netflix. A movie about outer space with George Clooney. I thought it was good. Genifer didn’t really care for it.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Merry Christmas Eve. 😀🌄🌧️🛍️☕️🎁🎄❤️

It’s hard to believe that today is November 1st…
It was pretty nice getting an extra hour of sleep this morning…
Good morning from Northside with an extra hour later…
This morning we made these pillsbury Chocolate Chip Sweet Biscuits for breakfast…
They’d become somewhat of a running joke. Every time we were at the grocery, I’d point them out to Genfiier and ask if she wanted to get them. She’s always say no. And I just kept asking every trip for months. Finally the last time we were at the grocery, they were on sale. I put them in our cart and here we are…
They were pretty good. They were remarkably similar to the Pillbury cinnamon rolls. Since the oven was already warm, Genifer made some Snoopy cookies too…
Of course, I focus on the one cookie that’s upside-down. And we learned how to draw Snoopy heads…
And then we just hung out for the rest of the afternoon…
Good evening from Northside…
We had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. Before dust cheese…
After dust cheese…
After dust cheese with garlic bread…
Gosh. I love spaghetti and meatballs with dust cheese and garlic bread.
We went back out in the backyard to play some more…
After we eat dinner and go outside, we give the dogs their evening treat of a couple of hot dogs chunks so Mack can get his allergy medicine…
Hot dogs might just be the favorite part of Mack’s day.
And I captured this horrible photo of tonight’s full moon…
Any time you can get an extra hour of Sunday, it’s a good thing.
Having just watched Maleficent on Friday night, we watched Maleficent 2 tonight. It was another pretty good movie. 😀🌄⏰🍪🍝📺❤️

Tomorrow is Halloween. There will still be trick-or-treating but still, it just won’t be the same with the COVID raging, will it? Who would have thought that all the way back in the middle of March that the number of pandemic cases would be still be accerlating eight months later at Halloween?
But at least it’s Friday…
And guess what, it’s also still grey and overcast. So, yeah.
Good morning from Northside…
Genifer made some delicious cookies…
The blue skies were trying to peek through the clouds…
Good evening from Northside…
We ate oven pizzas for dinner…
The skies were starting to clear…
Maybe it’ll actually be nice for Halloween tomorrow…
Tonight, we watched Maleficent on Disney+. It’s hard to believe that we’d never seen it before. But it was really good. It was great way to wind down our Halloween Eve.
Happy Halloween Eve! 😀🌄☁️🍪🍕🐾📺❤️

Good morning from Northside…
The front yard of the house at the end of the street is out of control…
Genifer made P.F. Chang’s Orange Chicken for dinner tonight…
And she made dumplings too…
For dessert, she bought home a three big of cookies from Taste of Belgium…
I thought the sugar cookie with sprinkles was the best one…
But maybe I just really like Sprinkles.
And good evening from Northside…
And the evening always ends with ball in the backyard. 😀🌄🥡🍪❤️

Today is August 1st. Can you believe that? For being pretty much confined to home since the middle of March, this year is going by really fast. I guess time flies regardless of your level of activity.
This morning started out as another grey and overcast Saturday but at least it was cooler and not as humid today. Good morning from Northside…
Genifer made these delicious banana bread cookies…
We were pretty lazy this morning…
After Arsenal lifted the FA Cup, we drove out to the far-north suburbs of Liberty Township for a cookout to celebrate Alyssa’s birthday. When we were leaving Northside, the skies looked really threatening…
And it rained the entire way to Liberty Township but once we got there it was very pretty outside. The sun came out and there were the biggest fluffiest clouds…
When we got home, we dodged more Northside raindrops and took the dogs for a walk…
And good night from Northside…
There was supposed to be an almost full moon tonight but there were waaay to many clouds. Still, it was a pretty good Saturday. 😀🗓️❤️

It’s that time of year. Big trays of delicious cookies art showing up around the office…
These Busken cookies featuring the new logo I designed for Cincinnati Public Radio also showed up at the office…
It’s pretty neat to see a logo you designed printed on a cookie. I stopped at Graeter’s to get Genifer some of their delicious little tea cookies. They came in two sizes, a little box…
And holy geez that’s a lot of cookies basket…
You can never have too many cookies. And it seemed like there were a lot of them around today. 😀🍪❤️
