It was another overcast and grey Monday morning. And they were already getting to work on our street…
Good morning from Northside…
They were cutting our street this morning…
Y0u kn ow what brightens up a Monday? Grilled cheeses and chicken nuggets…
Guess what? when we took the dogs for their evening walk, it was still overcast…
Good evening from Northside…
When they were working on the street earlier, they must have pushed the dumpster up into the empty lot at the end of our street…
And that’s actually a pretty good thing because it had been creeping further and further out into the street. And we made it through another Monday. 😀🌄🐔🥪❤️
Later, we walked down to Gulow Street for cheeseburgers this evening…
We love this wall of paintings at Gulow Street. And this is what we’re want to replicate in our dining room and why we went to Waynesville looking for paintings….
The burgers at Gulow Street have to be in the running for some of the best in all of Cincinnati…
Just look at all that deliciousness…
Amazing burger.
Good evening from Northside…
Gulow Street burgers make any day a pretty terrific day. 😀🌄🐼🚂🎈☕️🍔❤️
Early this afternoon, we headed up to Waynesville…
They were having a little street faire that we wanted to check out and we wanted to wander in and out of the all the little shop in the “antique capital of the MIdwest…”
So we walked back down to the end of the street faire to one of the food trucks…
They had Canadian Poutine…
Believe it or not, we’ve never had poutine before. And it was delicious…
We stopped for a espresso milk shake…
When we were done shopping, we ordered a pizza to take home with us…
And Genifer got and coffee and I got a strawberry smoothie for the ride home…
Good evening from Northside…
They didn’t make much progress on our street…
The pizza was delicious! Waynesville was a lot of fun. We were looking for old paintings to hang in our dining room. We found a few paintings to get us started. It was a really good Sunday. 😀🌄🚧🛍️🖼️🍕❤️
We met our neighbor friends at Gulow Street. And while we were there, we ran into our other neighbors and got to talk to them for a while. Now we have two neighbor friends on our street.
Our final Hello Fresh meal this week was Street-Cart-Style Chicken Shawarma Bowls with bell pepper, pistachio rice and creamy cilantro sauce…
We went three-for-three again on our HelloFresh meals this week. They were all delicious. And we still haven’t had a meal that was even just mediocre, let alone bad. Two thumbs up.
A random Bird scooter found it’s way to the corner of our street…
Good evening from Northside…
And here are a few photos from our sunny side yard…
We took the dogs on a walk once it stopped raining…
Good morning from Northside…
Mack brings me random dog toys throughout the day…
Our HelloFresh meal tonight was Chicken Sausage-Stuffed Zucchini Boats with couscous, tomato and herbs…
Ohmigosh. It was delicious. This evening the sun came out…
Good morning from Northside…
There was a little bunny at the bottom of the hill…
And tonight, we finally finished Game of Thrones. We’ve powering through all eight seasons, usually with three episodes a night. That show what seriously stressful. We were worried about the ending. We heard people were upset about it. But it kind of wrapped everything up with a neat little bow. It was a really good show but we’re pretty glad it’s over. 😀🌄🍽️🐰📺❤️
When we got home, we took the dogs round the block…
Good morning from Northside…
We ate this sausage alfredo flatbread for lunch…
Our HelloFresh arrived today…
Good evening from Northside…
For dinner, we ordered takeout from China Food…
China Food is so good. And then we sat out of our back patio and watched the end of the Olympics.
After 16 days, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics came to a close. The USA volleyball team won gold in the final event of the games to top China in the gold medal count and finish on top of the overall medal overall. The USA secured 21 overall medals in the final weekend to finish out the Olympic spectacle with 25 more medals than any other country. It’s been an exciting two weeks of lasting Olympic memories. And the pageantry of closing ceremonies was a spectacle of its own.
But between the time difference, repetitive programming, and the endless re-airing of events, these Olympics were the most exhausting, challenging and frustrating to try to watch. And while NBC tried to create an immersive and watchable experience, the modern world of social media shattered the old model of replaying and re-airing events.
Luckily for us fans of the Olympics, there are two positives about the next go-around. There’s only a three-year wait until the Paris Games. And they should provide an daytime schedule of live events. No matter what happens in 2024, it can’t get much worse than the much-missed Tokyo spectacle.
Still, we did the best we could to enjoy the heck out the Tokyo games. 😀🌄🍕🥡📺🏆❤️
