A new little record table.

It was another overcast and grey Monday morning…

Good morning from Northside…

But it was all blue skies and puffy white clouds this evening…

Good evening from Northside…

We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was French Onion Chicken with peppercorn green beans…

It was another terrific dinner! And the beans were delicious with the crispy onions on them. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. And after dinner, we put together this new little record table for our living room…

Now we just need some more records and maybe a better record player with some little speakers or something…

It was another pretty good Monday. 😀🌄🌤️🍽️🎵❤️

Just another Saturday.

Good morning from Northside…

We worked in our backyard all afternoon. We finished the retaining wall along our fence and took along our back fence too. And we put down a little edging barrier next to our sidewalk in our side yard…

And this evening, there was really pretty evening light coming in from our backyard…

Good evening from Northside…

😀🌄☀️❤️

The joke’s on us.

Today is April first and that means, it’s also April Fool’s Day…

But the joke was on us because it was snowing this morning…

Good morning from Northside…

We saw our first snail of the spring…

I moved the snail from the middle of the sidewall on the stairs to the edge of the sidewalk by some mulch over by what might someday be an orchard…

It was still snowing…

Good evening from Northside…

We had an NYPD Pizza party tonight…

Remember when Oscar used to hop up on the sofa in our office studio and look out the window?

😀🌄🌨️🐌🍕🦖🐾❤️

We have a new dining room rug.

Good morning from Northside…

Genifer ordered a new rug for our dining room…

We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was BBQ PulledPork Tacos with cheddar-jack cheese and crispy jalapenos since it was Taco Tuesday and all…

Taco Tuesday tacos are always really good. And these ones were terrific! We like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.

Fiver years ago, I had just hit 48,000 check-ins on my Swarm…

Fast forward to today and I have a little over 80,000 check-ins. I still really like my Swarm. And I really like my tacos. 😀🌄🌮⭐️❤️

A morning without power.

Good morning from Northside…

We lost power this morning after we got back from our walk. The power company said power was scheduled to return around 1pm. We ran out to get Skyline for a lunch a little bit before noon…

When we got home with our lunch, the power came back on. And it was Skyline time!

And then it was time to get to work.

Good evening from Northside…

There was really pretty light coming into the back of our house…

Today really made me really appreciate having electricity. 😀🌄⚡️🐾❤️

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Good morning from Northside…

We ran over to the grocery this morning…

I thought Ice Bear had been pulled out of the claw machine…

But he was just moved from the front corner to the back corner. poor guy…

They were still out of pandas and trains…

But there were still plenty of Valentine’s Day balloons…

Lotsa balloons…

Cincinnati was expecting a big winter storm starting later in the afternoon. And that made the check-out lines really long…

And we stopped for coffees…

Arsenal smacked around Leeds United, 4-2. And Michigan was finally back from their three week COVID pause and they had to play away to Wisconsin…

And BOOM! They didn’t miss a beat…

After the Michigan game, we went over to Taft’s for pizza…

We tried Taft’s newest beer, Hazy Cabana Juice…

It was really good. We got some loaded tots…

Very blurry tots. And we got a pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza…

Taft’s had a Valentine’s Day special with a heart-shaped pizza and cannoli. We didn’t get the special deal but they had extra cannoli and gave us a couple…

Good evening from Northside…

And then we hung out and had a few drinks and watched Mavs basketball…

It probably wasn’t the world’s most romantic Valentine’s Day but it was a really great Sunday. 😀🌄☁️🍕🏀❤️

Superb Owl Sunday.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday!

We were up super early this morning, even before the sunrise…

Good morning from Northside…

And we were off to run over the the grocery…

We always go to the grocery early, but we wanted to get over extra early this morning. We thought it might start to get a bit nutty with people stocking up on supplies for The Big Game™…

It looked like Ice Bear was rescued from the claw machine…

He used to be right where the zebra is now. I hope he went to a good home…

Both the panda and the train were out of stick in the International Aisle…

And there were still a few balloons left but no owl balloons…

Just lots and lots of hearts…

As is tradition, we stopped for coffee after the grocery…

Here’s another photo of Genifer’s new desk. She moved it over in front of the window…

It looks really nice in there.

And good evening from Northside…

I was cheering for Tom Brady in The Big Game™…

And there you go. We had a whole bunch of chip and dippers while we watched the game. It was a pretty great Superb Bowl Sunday. 😀🌄☕️🦉🏈📺❤️

We made it through another week.

The sun was out this morning!

Good morning from Northside…

Fast forward to this evening and the sun was still out…

Good evening from Northside…

Genifer ordered a new little desk and it arrived today…

And we assembled it this evening. It looks really nice…

And Genifer made breaded chicken tenders and curly fries for dinner…

It was another good day. But I have no idea for the life of me what we watched this evening. All the days ran together on me. I’m pretty sure we watched a movie on Hulu but I have no idea what which one. Why doesn’t Hulu have a watch history?

But at least, we made it through another week. 😀🌄☀️🏡🐔❤️
