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. 😀🌄🐼🚂🎈☕️🍔❤️
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. 😀🌄🍕🥡📺🏆❤️
We had one of our HelloFresh meals leftover from last week. So we had Brown Sugar Bourbon Chicken Salad with kale, apples, roasted carrots, sunflower seeds and honey dijon dressing…
After work, I ran over to the Kroger by our house to grab a couple of things. And look at the huge balloon options the neighborhood Kroger had…
For dinner tonight, we had our first HelloFresh dinner of the week. This one was One-Pan Trattoria Tortellini Bake with a crispy parmesan panko topping…
It was delicious especially since we added garlic bread to the meal…
Anyone who says pineapple isn’t a pizza topping clearly hasn’t had a Hawaiian pizza because they are delicious. We finished all of it while we watched more Olympics…
We used some more of our Taft’s gift card. And we still have a little bit of our gift card left. It’s been the gift that keeps on giving. We love Taft’s.
And good evening from Northside…
We had a great Sunday and a great weekend. 😀🌄🍕🍍🥗🐔❤️
We ran over to the grocery store early this morning even before we walked the dogs…
And then we stopped for Biggby Coffee…
When we got home, we took the dogs on their walk…
Good morning from morning…
We headed down to The Banks to go to our fourth Reds baseball game of the season…
We got a DORA drink before heading into the ballpark…
Welcome to the Great American Ball park…
Our tickets were in our favorite section of the ballpark, The Fioptics District…
Apparently, Fountain Square has a new stage…
We walked up to Queen City Radio in OtR to see if they had their amazing Whip burgers. They did not. So we hopped in an Uber and stopped for a drink at Northside Tavern…
And then we came home to hang out in our backyard for a bit with our new little lights…
And while we were sitting out on our patio, we watched the Grizzlies win game one of their first round best of seven against the Utah Jazz.
We worked in our backyard all afternoon. We finished the retaining wall along our fence and took along our back fence too. And we put down a little edging barrier next to our sidewalk in our side yard…
And this evening, there was really pretty evening light coming in from our backyard…
