Believe it or not, it’s already July 1st. There was another pretty sunrise this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
Fast forward to this evening…
It was a warm one today. Oscar took a break in the shade during our evening walk…
And good evening from Northside…
It was another pretty day in Northside. 😃🌄🐾❤️

Good morning from Northside…
Why do Mondays always have to be so grey and overcast?
Today, I found this on the intertubes…
Yeah. I don’t know either. We didn’t get grilled cheeses. We had BLTs for dinner…
I love BLTs. It’s crazy how such a simple sammich can be so dang good. I put some turkey and cheese on my sammich. So I guess it was actually more of a turkey club sammich if you think about it. But it was really good though.
Good evening from Northside…
Still gloomy. But we made it through another Monday. 😀🌄🥪🥓🥬🍅🧀❤️

We didn’t do a dang thing today. But we did go get to-go Burger King in Finneytown…
We placed our order through the Burger King app. And it turns out there are a bunch of really good deals and coupons on the BK app. We got two Original Chicken Sammiches with two small fries for just $4.99. I mean, we got a bunch of other stuff too. The only bummer part was that you could only use one deal per order. But there were a lot of deals to choose from…
I love BK. It’s probably my favorite fast food. Burger King and Freddy’s. But we never really eat fast food unless we are on road trips. We need to go on more road trips. Because our BK was so good.
We were in the backyard with the dogs, When we went to go inside, Genifer picked up her sweater off the chair and this weird little caterpillar was on it…
Good evening from Northside…
And that was pretty much our Sunday. 😀🍔🐛❤️

Good morning from Northside…
We ran over to Kroger to get a few groceries. I noticed these crazy striped peppers in the produce section. I’ve never seen anything like them before…
And of course, we stopped at Biggby Coffee…
For dinner tonight, Genifer made this vegetable tikka masala over rice…
For just a little pouch you warm up and serve over rice, it was really outstanding. Next time we’re at Whole Foods, we definitely going to have to get some more. It was really surprisingly good for how easy it was to prepare.
And good evening from Northside…
It was a pretty good Friday. 😀🌄☕️🍛❤️

Good morning from Northside…
When we got home from our walk, the light was coming through the curtains in the living room and illuminating the vase on our little table. It thought it was very pretty…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. The Kroger meals don’t usually repeat much at all. But the last time we were at Kroger, they had the Asiago Turkey Meatballs with tomato basil couscous again…
It was another really delicious dinner. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
And good evening from Northside…
It was a Wednesday. 😀🗓️❤️

Good morning from Northside…
It was pretty grey and overcast this morning. The blue skies were trying hard to make an appearance this evening…
Good evening from Northside…
When we got out to our backyard, the grey clouds were moving back in…
Genifer made crab-stuffed mushrooms for dinner tonight…
They were delicious. And that was our Tuesday. 😀🌄☁️🦀❤️

Good morning from Northside…
Our little bush had even more blooms on it this morning than it did yesterday…
And good evening from Northside…
There was a guy jumping rope at the top of the steps, and it terrified Mack to his core. I’ve never seen him have such a reaction of pure terror. It was really weird.
After our walk and after Mack regained his composure, we slowed down to grill…
We grilled four burgers from Whole Foods that I forgot to take a photo of, and we grilled two beautiful pieces of marinated salmon…
And we wrapped it up with some chicken sausages…
Oh. We also grilled two ears of corn that I didn’t take a photo of. It was the first time we ever grilled corn. It was a bit of an adventure. But it turned out great. I cut all kernels off the cob to get this amazing little container of gold…
It was a pretty nice night to be out in the backyard…
Good night from Northside. 😀🌄🔥❤️

Today was Father’s Day. We hope all the dads had a wonderful day. Genifer The dogs got me an awesome new BBQ utensil set and a super-cool new Reds t-shirt for Father’s Day. It was really very unexpected. She’s the best wife. They’re the best dogs.
Good morning from Northside…
One of the little bushes we planted in our front yard is full of little blossoms…
We ran over to Kroger this morning…
Someone bought the train that was full of jello cups in the International aisle. And now there is this jello cup filled panda bear…
Every time we go to Kroger in Oakley, this baby cart is in the cart corral…
After we were done at the grocery, we got the Audi washed at Mike’s Carwash…
And while we were over in that part of town, we had to stop for our weekend edition of Biggby Coffee…
We were so mad. We forgot to bring our reusable straws today…
But our drinks were delicious as always!
Laters, we went over to Taft’s Brewpourium for pizza…
Taft’s was having a Father’s Day special…
A large short rib pizza, caesar salad, a loaf of cheesy bread, and a growler for just $45?
YES PLEASE! I like watching the world go by through Taft’s garage doors…
While we were waiting for our pizza to arrive at our table, we watched the monsoon that had just started dropping sheets of water out of nowhere…
And there it is! Our delicious pizza…
We just ate on the pizza. We took home the cheesy bread, caesar salad, our growler and about half of the pizza…
When we were getting ready to head out, I super long train started rolling by Taft’s too…
Trains are so cool. I could sit and watch the trains go by all day.
On our way home, we stopped at Second Place for a bourbon slush…
When we walked the dogs, the asphalt in the parking lot atop the hill at the end of our street was steaming…
Good evening from Northside…
And we ended our weekend by hanging out in our backyard…
It was a really good Sunday. 😀🗓️❤️

Today was the first day of Summer! And it’s Saturday. Good morning from Northside…
For breakfast, I tried one of these Kodiak Cake Blueberry & Maple Flapjack Cups…
It was pretty darn good for just a little microwave pancake cup. Later, we walked down to Blue Jay to get some lunch…
Genifer ordered a huge Greek salad with a side of french fries and I ordered two cheese coneys with a side of french fries as well…
Look at the size of this pepperoncini that came with Genifer’s salad…
It was almost as big as my cheese coney. I ate it. It was really spicy. I probably wouldn’t do that again. It made my eyes water. Other than that mistake, lunch at Blue Jay was great as always.
When we were walking home, we couldn’t help but notice that the front of the Jackson Hewitt tax office was all smashed in…
Apparently last night, someone ran the red light at the corner of Chase and Hamilton and lost control of their vehicle and smashed into the front of this office, which is right on the street corner. People running red lights has become a real problem in Cincinnati. At least one or two cars go through every traffic light after the light turns red.
On our way home, we also stopped to get more milkshakes from Tickle Pickle…
Their Flan Halen strawberry milkshake is my favorite.
And then we were pretty lazy again. At least, Premier League soccer is back on TV…
I woke up super early and caught the end of the Doosan Bears Korean baseball game, The Bears won 8-2. Leicester City drew 1-1 against Watford. And my Arsenal lost 2-1 to Brighton Hove & Albion. It’s really nice to have some sports back in my life. It makes things almost feel sort of normal again. Even though life is still not normal at all.
But it was a very pretty first day of Summer…
And a very good evening from Northside…
We’re having a pretty low-key start of Summer weekend. 😀🗓️❤️

I’ve started doing these posts on our blog that just sums up our entire day in one post. I like them especially on days where we don’t do a lot. But I’m really struggling with what to call them. I was just titling these posts things like “Our Friday.” but that’s as boring as what we actually did today.
We both had today off work for Juneteenth. Good morning from Northside…
We ran over to start our day with some Biggby Coffee. On Fridays, it’s free shot Friday at Biggby. You get a extra shot of coffee in your drink… for FREE…
We ran to Whole Foods to get some groceries and we also swung through Home Goods…
And then we were pretty lazy for the rest of the day…
Until we went on a walk with the dogs. There were some really pretty clouds tonight…
Good evening from Northside…
After we dropped the dogs off at home, we kept walking…
Down to Tickle Pickle…
For burgers and milkshakes to go…
Our burgers were delicious…
It was a great Friday with plenty of time for quiet reflection. 😀🗓️❤️
