There were a bunch of berries on our sidewalk this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
Good evening from Northside…
Tonight’s HelloFresh dinner was Bulgogi Pork Tenderloin with roasted carrots and lime rice…
These meals are so delicious.
Tomorrow, we get a delivery from Lowe’s, and we’ll make some more progress on transforming our backyard…
Five years ago today, we closed on our house…
It’s hard to believe we’ve already been in our house for five years. 😀🌄🏡🍽️❤️

Good morning from Northside…
I had been waiting on this turntable package that I really liked from Turntable Lab. The only problem, it was out of stock for quite a while. I told myself that as soon as it was available again, I was going to order it.
It was finally available again. I ordered it. And today it arrived…
It sounds soooo good. Now we just need to start to get some more records.
Good morning from Northside…
For dinner tonight, we had our second HelloFresh meal. This one was Open-Face Pork Sausage Sammiches on cheesy garlic bread with green bell peppers and onions…
These meals are really delicious! I could really get used to eating these meals all the time.
In my Timehop today, there were these photos of water in our basement after a storm…
But even with all the rain we’ve been having, our basement is still dry now…
And speaking of Timehop, today was my 1095th Timehop in a row. Three years of checking my Timehop…
We can’t wait to listen to some music. 😀🌄🏡🎶🍽️💧❤️

The morning got off to a really pretty start…
Good morning from Northside…
Oscar was sitting like a sir…
Good evening from Northside…
In the mail today, I got a free limited edition Dribble sticker pack from Sticker Mule…
I love stickers. And these are some really neat ones.
We like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals so much that Genifer tried HelloFresh. HelloFresh delivers step-by-step recipes and fresh, pre-portioned ingredients right to your door. And our first meal kit also arrived today….
Here are the three meals we chose to try this week…
The first meal we tried was Hey, Honey! Salmon with potato wedges and zesty green beans…
Ohmigosh! It was such a delicious meal and it was so much food. I think we’re going to really like HelloFresh a lot! We can’t wait to try the other two meals.
In my Timehop today were these two photos of Genifer and Oscar hanging out in bed back when Genifer had to still wear glasses…
We had another great Tuesday. 😀🌄🏡🐾🍽️❤️

Good morning from Northside…
Oscar came in to our studio office to hang out with me while I was working…
And we made it through another Monday…
Good evening from Northside…
We had pesto prosciutto tortellini and garlic bread for dinner…
And we had leftover ice cream cake for dessert…
We went outside after dinner, we saw that this big tree limb had fallen into our yard…
And these photos of Milan showed up in my Timehop today…
We was such a handsome guy.
😀🌄🏡🐾🍽️❤️

Our front yard is still looks pretty nice…
Good morning from Northside…
We went over to Taft’s Brewpourium for a Sun day pizza party…
We shared a house salad and a white pizza with chicken, cherry tomatoes and arugula…
Their special item today was mozzarella sticks…
Ohmigosh. Taft’s is so good. It’s one of our favorites…
And it was a beautiful Sunday evening so we hung out on our back patiio for a bit…
We can’t wait to keep working on our backyard. It’s going to be so awesome…
We had a really good Sunday.

It was kind of hazy this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
We ran over to Lowe’s this morning…
We stopped for coffee…
We added some landscape edging and decorative rock border to our front yard…
When we were finishing up in our front yard, a guy jogging by stopped to ask where we got our bricks. After chatting for a minute and as he started to walk away, he said, “Yeah, I gotta work on my front yard and try to get it up to this level.” It was such a nice thing to say. And it made us feel so proud of our front yard…
Hopefully, we van get our backyard up to the level of our front yard. We pulled all the grass and weeds out of the front third of our backyard…
I tried to dig out an old concrete post anchor next to our backyard path…
And that was clearly a mistake. I put it back in it’s hole and filled the hole back in…
Our next step will be adding rocks…
We went upstairs to take some showers. Hi Oscar…
We had BLTs for dinner….
BLTs with wedge fries…
Good evening from Northside…
Our front yard looks so nice…
We sat out on our back patio for a bit…
We watched the Louisville City thump Memphis 3-0 and listened to some music…
We had a really good Saturday. 😀🌄🏡🐾🥪❤️

There were a bunch of ants on the sidewalk…
Good morning from Northside…
Hi Oscar…
And, Hi Mack…
Mack must have been trying to hide his new hedgehog toy from Oscar by putting it in the bedroom trash can…
Good evening from Northside…
We ordered an elevated dog cot for our back patio…
Oscar wasn’t real sure about it at first…
But I think he likes it now…
It was a very pretty evening…
But while we were sitting on our back patio this evening, out of nowhere we could hear lots of thunder but we couldn’t see any lightning or even dark storm clouds…
It was exact opposite of when we were out on the deck in the Outer Banks, and there was all sorts of the lightning but no thunder. Both were kinda odd. But we had a really good Friday.

As we were getting up and moving this morning, there was a loud pop that we could hear over our sound machine and then we lost power.
Oh. And it’s still grey and overcast…
Good morning from Northside…
On our way home from our walk, Duke Energy was already arriving on our street…
They had our power back on a little before 9 am. But I think this was already the third time we’ve lost power this year. And that’s a little worrisome. The Duke Energy website said there was an animal on the line. Poor squirrels.
Anyway, we have a lot of blooms in our front yard…
We had cheesy turkey wraps on the panini press for lunch …
The panini press has become one of my favorite little kitchen appliances.
After we finished our work day, we went on our walk and the sun was out!
Good evening from Northside…
We ordered El Taco Veloz through DoorDash…
Genifer gets the kids quesadilla with a side of beans and rice…
And I love their ground beef chimi…
El Taco Veloz is sooo good. I love that there is a service that will bring me a chimichanga whenever I really need one. What an amazingly wonderful world we live in.
If you look really close just above the leaf in the dirt, there was a little baby bird in the back corner of our backyard…
I don’t think the little bird had mastered flying yet, it would flap it’s wing but wouldn’t go anywhere. Eventually, it hopped through a gap in our fence where the side meets the back. Hopefully, it figures out how to fly pretty soon.
When we got upstairs, I was looking out our front window and I got the impression that tonight’s sunset might be really pretty…
I went back down to check it out in our backyard…
But it was just an okay sunset. But it was a really good day. We watched a couple more episodes of Lisey’s Story on Apple TV. And I’m super excited because the Euro Championship starts tomorrrow afternoon! 😀🌄🏡🇲🇽🫔❤️

Guess what? It was overcast and raining again this morning…
It’s like we live in the Pacific Northwest or something…
Good morning from Northside…
Oscar was getting so fuzzy…
He got a haircut today at Petsmart and now he looks so handsome…
We made it through our Wednesday and then it was time to walk the dogs again.
This is Chloe…
She lives down the street from us…
Hi Chloe!
Good evening from Northside…
It looked like there was another storm rolling in…
It also looked like Mack was watching the soccer game…
Meanwhile, Oscar was just using the footrest of one of our dining room table benches as a pillow…
It doesn’t look like the most comfortable pillow. 😀🌄🌧️☔️🐾❤️

Good morning from Northside…
Mack and Oscar were drinking out of the same water bowl at the same time again…
I made a cheesy chicken nugget wrap for lunch…
It started sprinkle on us while we were on our evening walk…
Good evening from Northside…
At the bottom of the stairs, the sounds of the cicadas was it’s loudest…
When we got home, Oscar started looking for a very specific dog toy…
He kept pulling out toys and setting them in a pile while he dug for the one he really wanted…
Apparently, he was looking for one of the Nylabones…
And then he never really chewed on it. Dogs are pretty funny. 😀🌄🌧️☔️🐾❤️
