Good morning from Northside…
We stopped at the grocery out in West Chester…
Ugh. Those don’t even really sound good. 😝 But they did have the panda AND train at this Kroger…
We stopped at Skyline for lunch to go…
We took lunch over to Geri’s to visit for a bit. And then it was back home…
Good evening from Northside…
We had a wonderful Sunday. The weekends always go by so fast. 😀🌄🐼🚂🌭🍝❤️

Good morning from Northside…
We’re always up and moving pretty early. We don’t really sleep our days away, even on the weekends.. We ran over to the grocery early this morning. We like to get in and out before it gets too busy…
Kroger had both the panda AND train today in the international aisle…
Afterward, we stopped for our Mad Llama coffee…
And later, we had an NYPD Pizza party with french fries…
Good night from Northside…
We had a very low-key, relaxing Saturday. 😀🌄🐼🚂☕️🍕❤️

They showed up bright and early to start working on our street again…
And the drilling started in front of our house…
Good morning from Northside…
This morning we popped our flowers out of the ground…
It was well after 1pm and they still weren’t working on our house yet…
And they must have accidentally hit the water main…
Because all of a sudden, our street was a river. Again…
And that was all they managed to get accomplished today.
Good evening from Northside…
Our street is a patchwork quilt of steel plates right now…
For dinner tonight, we had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Stroganoff Pork Meatballs with potatoes and peas…
It was another really delicious dinner. The stroganoff sauce has always been one of my favorites. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
Maybe they’ll work on our house tomorrow. 😀🌄🚧🌊🍜❤️

As far as Mondays go, it was a pretty good Monday. 😀🌄🐔❤️

Good morning from Northside…
We ran over to the grocery. They always have different balloons…
I like looking at the balloons. And then we got our Mad Llama coffee…
And we got our delicious Mad Llama bagel turkey sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sammich on an Asiago cheese bagel…
Tomorrow, they’re going to start working on the water mains on our street again. I went out to move the Jetta up to the end of the street and it wouldn’t start. Again. I just had a new battery put in it the last time they worked on our street. I think it’s probably the alternator but we’ll see. This morning, AAA came out to take it to one of their repair centers…
And there it goes. I hope it isn’t too expensive.
Oscar was just hanging out…
It’s Sunday. We must be going to Taft’s Brewpourium for pizza…
We got to watch the crazy end of the Cowboys game…
Taft’s is such great stuff. And today, they had fried mushrooms….
The sky was so pretty this evening…
And good evening from Northside…
We asked the two people standing on the hill what they were watching for, and they said the International Space Station was just about to fly over…
And suddenly, there it was…
It was just a little pinhole of light. It almost just looked a star but it was really moving quickly across the sky…
And there it went…
How neat was that? Just being in the right place at the right time.
It was a really cool way to end a great weekend…
Next week is probably going to be another crazy one. 😀🌄❤️

It’s always hard to get back into the swing of things after a long weekend…
Good morning from Northside…
They got back to work on our basement again today after the long weekend…
And good evening from Northside…
For dinner tonight, we had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Cheddar and Crispy Potato Crusted Chicken with chipotle ranch roasted vegetables…
It was another really delicious dinner. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. And that made it a pretty good Tuesday. 😀🌄🐔❤️

HAPPY LABOR DAY! We’ve had a really great long weekend so far…
Good morning from Northside…
This morning we ran over to the grocery…
And it’s that time of year again. pumpkin spice everything…
And they didn’t have the bear OR the train in the international aisle…
And we had to get our coffee from Mad Llama…
We didn’t get pumpkin spice anything. Genifer got a caramel latte and I got my beloved caramel java whip. Mad Llama’s coffees are so good.
Later, we started clearing all the ivy from our fence…
Our backyard fence is finally getting replaced this week! We’re so excited.
And once we cleared as much of the ivy as we could, it was time to reward ourselves with an NYPD Hoagie party…
NYPD Hoagies are so delicious. And the cheese fries were really good too!
And good evening from Northside…
It was a pretty nice Monday to wrap up the long holiday weekend. 😀🌄❤️

Good morning from Northside…
We ran over to the grocery store to get some groceries for the week…
How adorable were these buttons?
If they would have been magnets, they would be home with us right now. And this llama pillow was pretty cute…
There were some good balloons today too. I got five on it with some stars…
There were a lot of Back-to-School balloons because it’s about that time….
And without a hint of irony, the Back-to-School balloons were right next to the Get Well Soon balloons…
There should have been a promotion, Buy any Back-to-School balloon, get one, Get Well Soon balloon for free.” Ugh. It’s hard to believe that the pandemic has been raging for six months now, and nothing’s getting any better. And speaking of the pandemic when we were done at the grocery, we ran into Target…
While we were at Target, I got an eye exam…
If you remember a while back, I cracked my glasses right in two. I’ve been going without glasses for a minute. And today, I ended up getting two new pairs. One near-sighted pair with blue light filter for working on my computer and one far-sighted pair for driving and watching movies. Both of them compensate for my pretty considerable astigmatism. I’m so excited for my new glasses. They’ll be ready in a couple of weeks. The best part is that between my insurance and health savings account that both pairs of glasses cost me a grand total of $10. How cool is that? And I also got this new little bluetooth speaker…
It has a really good, full sound. Also full was my belly after eating a BLT with turkey bacon and Canadian Bacon for lunch…
It looked like it was raining off in the distance…
And good evening from Northside…
This evening I trimmed the grass in our little front yard…
And our little front yard flowers are really flourishing…
And of course, we played some ball in our backyard…
Mack was waiting for us upstairs at the top of the steps…
When we got upstairs, we watched the Grizzlies lose the the 8/9 play-in game to the trailblazers in the NBA bubble. It was a really good game. I love the Griz but I think the Blazers will give the Lakers more problems. And it was be awesome if the Lakers got knocked out of the playoffs.
We also watched Louisville City beat Loudoun 2-0.
It was a pretty darn good Saturday. I can’t wait for my glasses. 😀🗓️❤️

The sunrise this morning was a really pretty one…
I bet Mack was wondering what the heck I kept looking at…
And here’s what it looked like when I shared it on Instagram…
It was pretty morning in our backyard too…
And good morning from Northside…
When Genifer went to lunch with her coworkers at Taste of Belgium, she also brought home a bag of blueberry Belgian waffles, and those waffles are delicious…
It was pretty this afternoon in our backyard as well…
While I was working this afternoon, Mack wandered into our office and set one of his squeaky toys on my leg and left…
And Bear was crashed out in Mack’s crate in our office all afternoon…
For dinner tonight, we had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Italian Sausage Penne with sun-dried tomato cream and sweet corn…
It was another really delicious dinner. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
After dinner, we shared a giant chocolate chip cookie that Genifer brought home with her from Currito…
Oscar likes laying under our dining room table while he waits patiently for us to finish eating dinner so he can go on his walk…
And good evening from Northside…
And then we wrapped up our Tuesday back in our backyard again to play more ball…
We had a pretty darn good Tuesday. 😀🗓️❤️

It was a really pretty Saturday morning…
Hello moon…
Good morning from Northside…
Our replacement hose showed up and it works great with no leaks…
And then we went to Kroger for groceries…
Kroger had some adorable balloons today…
And afterward, we stopped at Mad Llama for some Saturday morning coffee…
There was train crossing over the road on our way home…
We mowed the weeds in our backyard…
Three weeks until our fence gets replaced and then we can start working on making our backyard look more respectable…
We got this delicious fruit at the grocery…
Good evening from Northside…
We played ball in our backyard for another half hour…
Those dogs play ball until they can’t play ball anymore…
Mack wandered off in the middle of the night. And I found him on our office WyzeCam all crashed out in the office…
And this photo of Oscar was in my Timehop…
We had a really good Saturday.
