The Tokyo Olympics are underway!

Good morning from Northside…

Good evening from Northside…

Tonight, we watched the Tokyo Olympics Open Ceremonies. I thought they were very poignant yet exceptionally beautiful. For me, he most spectacular part was the amazing drone display…

Such pageantry. We’re really excited for the Olympics. With still working from home because the pandemic, it’s a quite opportunity to get to really deep dive into the Tokyo games and have them on in the background all day. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸΎπŸ†β€οΈ

Also, it’s hard to believe there isn’t an emoji for the Olympic rings.

Lunch from Morsel & Nosh.

Good morning from Northside…

This afternoon we walked over to Morsel & Nosh for lunch…

Genifer ordered the tuna melt…

And I ordered The Violet. It was delicious house-made chicken salad with lettuce on a soft and flaky croissant..

And I added a slice of American cheese. Whenever possible, I always add a slice of cheese. Cheese makes the best stuff even better. They were terrific sammiches. We can’t wait to go back to Morsel & Nosh for lunch again very soon.

Good evening from Northside…

Our HelloFresh meal tonight was Sheet Pan Turkey-Meatball Flatbreads with mozzarella, bellpepper and onions…

Their flatbreads are some of my favorite meals.

This evening we put this little pet memorial for Svensk under our tree in our side yard next to our pet memorial for Milan…

I miss the kitty so much. I think about her every day. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ₯ͺπŸ₯πŸ½οΈπŸ±πŸ‘Όβ€οΈ

The marshmallows were great.

Good morning from Northside…

Our hanging plants is doing very well in our backyard…

Our HelloFresh dinner tonight was One-Pan Rajas Quesadillas with salsa fresca, southwest crema and guacamole…

The quesadillas were delicious. I can’t believe just how good all of these HelloFresh meals have been so far. There really hasn’t been a bad one.

Good evening from Northside…

And we made oven S’mores tonight for dessert…

And the marshmallows were delicious. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ½οΈβ€οΈ

Tuesdays are for burgers.

Good morning from Northside…

This evening we walked down to Gulow Street for burger night…

Ohmigosh. Their burgers are so good.

Good evening from Northside…

What an amazing weekend.

This morning JJVE continued on their cross-country adventure…

We had such an amazing weekend. It was so much fun. And now I think we could use a weekend to recover from our weekend. We crammed a bunch of activities into a very small amount of time. And it was the best weekend.

Good morning from Northside…

And good evening from Northside…

Our house felt a bit empty this evening…

#JJVECincy2021 Sunday.

Our morning started off with knocking around the soccer ball in our backyard…

And we took the dogs on their morning walk…

Violette and Edgerton took turns walking Captain Oskey…

Good morning from Northside…

We walked to Sidewinder to get breakfast and coffees…

And we walked Up Hamilton Avenue to eat our breakfast at Jergen’s Park..

And we got to play at another playground…

After playing in the park, we walked home through Parker Woods…

After a bit, we headed down into Over-the-Rhine…

We parked at Washington Park and walked to Taft’s Ale House for lunch…

Lunch was delicious. We walked back down to Washington Park…

So the kids could play in the fountains…

And they got to play on the playgrounds…

Then we walked over to get rolled ice cream…

The ice cream was delicious! Thanks Simply Rolled!

We had a really great time down in OtR…

On our way back to Northside, we drove by the new soccer stadium in the West End…

When we got home, we took the dogs around the block. Violette and Edgerton took turns walking Captain Oskey again…

Good eveinng from Northside…

Violette wanted to rake the stones in our backyard…

We fired up the grill and made some burgers and hot dogs…

When we were at Taft’s Ale House, Surf’s Up was coming on one of the TVs in the bar. The kids became enamored with the movie. So this evening, we watched it in our backyard…

It was a pretty good movie. The kids really seemed to like it.

It was another really wonderful day with JJVE. We had the most amazing Sunday. It was the best day again. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ₯°β€οΈ

We have guests!

It was a very pretty morning in Northside…

Good morning from Northside…

We saw a snail on our way home…

We haven’t seen very many snails lately…

And it was very pretty evening too…

Good evening from Northside…

All these odd markings have appeared on our street…

And this evening, JJVE from Boston arrived at our house by way of Michigan. They’re visiting us for the weekend…

We’re so excited to get to hang out all weekend with them.

This evening there was quite the thunderstorm…

As I was taking photos of the storm, lightning stuck and illuminated the entire street…

Did we mention we’re very excited for this weekend? πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸŒπŸ‘πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘§β›ˆοΈβ€οΈ

A little addition to our backyard.

Good morning from Northside…

Our HelloFresh meal this evening was Sesame Soy Beef Bowls with shredded carrots, buttery rice and sriracha mayo…

The HelloFresh meals are just so good. And this one was no exception. Delicious.

We’ve been trying to rake the dogs on their evening walk a little bit later when it’s a little bit cooler outside…

Good evening from Northside…

We added this little fire hydrant in our backyard for the dogs to pee on…

We think it’s pretty cute and kinda funny. And that was our Wednesday.

Another overcast Monday.

It was another grey and overcast Monday morning…

Good morning from Northside…

We have three new HelloFresh meals for our dinners this week. Our first meal was Triple Mushroom Truffle Gnocchi with with garlicky Panko and Parmesan…

I don’t think I’ve ever had gnocchi before. It was delicious! And anything with a mushroom sauce has always been one of my favorites.

We made it through another overcast Monday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„β˜οΈπŸŒ§οΈπŸ‘β€οΈ

More special deliveries.

We ran over to Lowe’s this morning. And when we got to Lowe’s, it started pouring down rain…

Like torrential downpour rain…

Believe it or not, we needed more stones. But this time, we got more river peebles…

And when we were on our way to our car, still raining…

And we stopped for more Mad Llama coffee

I had forgotten how many llamas were inside Mad Llama…

Mmmm… Java whip…

When we got home, the rain had let up and we took the dogs on their walk…

Good morning from Northside…

So grey…

We were expecting another special delivery…

Later in the afternoon, the sun decided to make an appearance…

Good evening from Northside…

To celebrate the sun coming out, we walked to NYPD to pick up a pizza party…

And we hung out in our backyard…

Part of our special delivery were these flamingo lawn ornaments…

And since it was a bit cool from the rain, we made our first fire pit…

And another of special deliveries was this projector for our back patio…

The screen from our projector arrives tomorrow.

We’re starting to really love our backyard. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ‘πŸŒ¨οΈπŸ•πŸ¦©πŸ”₯πŸ“ΊπŸ€β€οΈ
