Dang. Still more rain.

Good morning from Northside…

The sun was out and the skies were blue with wispy white clouds this morning but by lunch time it was pouring down rain…

Mack and Oscar were waiting patiently for me to finish up with work…

Good evening from Northside…

Our second HelloFresh meal for the week was Sheet Pan Pork Sausage & Pepper Flatbreads with Monterey Jack and mozzarella…

I just don’t know what to say. All the meals are so good.

After dinner, it started raining again…

And it kept raining all night. 😀🌄☁️🌧️🐾🍽️🍕❤️

And we have a few more rocks.

Good morning from Northside…

We got another delivery of rocks for our backyard early this afternoon…

Our last delivery of rocks was from Lowe’s. But they would only delivery 15 bags of rocks at a time. This time we ordered from Home Depot. They’d delivery as many bags of rocks as you’d like. We ordered 70 bags of pea gravel and 7 bags of river rocks…

And we moved them all from the sidewalk to our backyard in about 35 minutes…

We have a lot of pea gravel…

And there’s the rest of our river rocks down there…

We ended up moving the rocks during the hottest part of the day…

We get to choose three HelloFresh meals a week. And tonight, we had another HelloFresh meal for dinner. This one was Italian Pepper Steak Sandos with melty mozzarella & roasted potato wedges…

SANDOS! Gosh. We’re really loving these HelloFresh meal kits.

After dinner, the skies looked pretty ominous…

It started sprinkling on us while we were out on our walk…

Good evening from Northside…

Three years ago, I had my second hip surgery…

Four years ago, we were witness to the best soccer game I’ve ever seen live…

Five years ago, we were all moved into our house in Northside…

And we had our very first NYPD PIzza party…

We can’t wait for the weekend so we can start dumping bags upon bags of pea gravel in our backyard. 😀🌄🏡🍽️☁️🌧️❤️

Good evening from Northside.

Good evening from Northside…

Five years ago, we were packing everything up to move to Northside…

Six years ago, we were hanging out up in Michigan…

And Svensk always loved hanging out in the window of our apartment downtown…

After these messages…

We’ll be right back. We’re heading down to Louisville for the weekend. We’re going to check out the return fixture of Lou City v. Indy 11. And take in a Sunday fun day Louisville Bats game at Slugger Field.

Follow along with our trip on our Flickr… and maybe on our YouTube. 😀🗺️❤️

Dropping off our best friend.

Good morning from Northside…

After work, we dropped Mack off at Best Friends Pet Hotel…

He’s been getting better and better in the car. We’re so proud of him.

Genifer dropped Oscar off at Grandma’s house earlier.

And then we were on our way to Louisville for the weekend…

We’re looking forward to our weekend road trip. 😀🌄🐾🗺️❤️

Hello Kitty. HelloFresh.

Good morning from Northside…

Someone lost their Hello Kitty…

Good evening from Northside…

Hi Oscar!

We had another HelloFresh meal for dinner tonight. This one was Sweet Chili Pork Bowls with bell pepper & candied peanuts…

Ohmigosh. Every one of these meals has been amazing so far.

When we got upstairs, we remembered there was a 99.9% full moon tonight…

We’re ready for the weekend. 😀🌄🍽️🌕❤️

Hello from Northside.

Good morning from Northside…

Good evening from Northside…

We had another HelloFresh meal for dinner. This one was Over-Ready Enchilada Chicken with southwestern rice & beans plus red pepper crema…

These meals are just amazing. I really look forward to them every night.

We watched Minnesota United beat Austin and FC Cincinnati beat Chicago…

It’s remarkable that both teams won considering had not good FC Cincinnati is still.

And there was an almost full moon tonight…

We made it through another Wednesday. 😀🌄🍽️📺⚽️❤️

It’s summer, right?

Sunday was the first day of summer. But today was only 70° outside…

I’m not even going to lie, I would take 70° year-around if we could get it.

Good morning from Northside…

Good evening from Northside…

For dinner tonight, we had anther meal from HelloFresh. This one was Salmon in a Creamy Dijon Chive Sauce with roasted potato wedges and lemony zucchini…

Our dinners from HelloFresh are just amazing. And this was another delicious meal.

And we had rainbow cake for dessert…

We had another good Tuesday. 😀🌄🏡🐾🍽️❤️

This was in my Timehop today…

Fast forward to today and my photos on Google Maps have a few more views…

Back in December, my contributions to Google Maps had 63 million views. And that’s pretty crazy to me.

Another grey Monday.

Why does it seem like every Monday so overcast and grey?

Good morning from Northside…

It started raining again this morning…

This airplane was flying east to west which was weird because we see a lot of planes over Northside but they all fly north and south, not east and west. It was kind of odd…

Good evening from Northside…

Mondays are just so bleh, especially when they are all rainy and grey. But these photos from my Timehop made today a little sunnier…

😀🌄☁️🌧️☔️❤️

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dad out there…

Good morning from Northside…

Today was the first day of summer. And there wasn’t any rain in the forecast today so we got to work on our backyard…

We dumped 15 bags of pea gravel and 15 bags of river rocks and 15 drainage rocks in our backyard this afternoon…

I think we’re going to need a lot more rocks.

We got cleaned up and headed over to Taft’s Brewpourium for lunch…

Today, Taft’s had a specialty cheesesteak pizza for Father’s Day…

And it was delicious! Everything they do is amazing.

Good evening from Northside…

Two of the best words in all of sports… GAME. SEVEN.

We’re so happy with how our backyard is progressing. And any day that involved Taft’s pizza is a really good day. This was a really good Sunday. 😀🌄🏡🍕🐾❤️
