Good morning from Northside…
We got NYPD hoagies for lunch today…
And I got chicken tenders for lunch tomorrow.
Good evening from Northside…
There was a 99.9% full moon tonight over Northside…
And this evening we watched Michigan thump Florida State to reach the Elite Eight…
Two years ago, we were watching Opening Day baseball and having Habenero Mango Oberons at Pony…
Gosh. I miss baseball and Pony. Still, we had a pretty good Sunday. 😀🌄☁️🥪🍟🏀❤️

Michigan faced off against LSU in the round of 32…
There were people who were saying LSU was a really tough match-up for Michigan…
Michigan was carrying the hopes of the entire B1G TEN…
Because Michigan is the only team from the B1G still dancing…
GO BLUE! 😀🏀〽️❤️

If you would have told me when the college basketball season started that Michigan was going to thump Michigan State in Crisler Center to clinch the B1G TEN Regular Season Championship, I would have thought it was just wishful thinking. It doesn’t get much better than that. But that’s exactly what happened…
BIG TEN REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONS! GO BLUE! 😀🏀〽️🏆❤️

We ordered El Taco Veloz for dinner tonight via Doordash…
It was really delicious stuff. And someone finally found their bunny…
Michigan played host to Illinois tonight…
And… Michigan got thumped. It was a terrible game. But it was a small bump in their otherwise outstanding season. 😀🌄🇲🇽🐰🏀〽️❤️

We got more snow overnight…
And a snowy good morning from Northside…
The roads were clearer this evening…
Good evening from Northside…
It was very snowy in our little side yard when we were putting the trash out…
And tonight, Michigan made it two for two after their COVID-19 pause with a solid win over Rutgers…
Michigan remains the only Big Ten basketball team to never lose to Rutgers. And the Michigan athletic program has the best-combined football/basketball record against Rutgers since the Scarlet Knights joined the Big Ten. Go BLUE! 😀🌄🌨️❄️📺〽️🏀❤️

It was a very bright and sunshiny morning…
Good morning from Northside…
And the sun was out all day today…
Good evening from Northside…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This was Swiss Chicken with honey mustard green beans and crispy onions…
It was another really delicious meal. The cheesy chicken was really terrific and the green beans were really good. I think crispy onions can make anything even more delicious. We like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
While I was working this afternoon, I listened to Leicester beat Chelsea 2-0 to go top of the Premier League. And this evening, we watched Michigan bounce back from their first loss by thumping Maryland 87-63.
We had another good Tuesday. 😀🌄☀️🐔⚽️🏀❤️

It was another overcast morning…
Good morning from Northside…
But it turned out to be a pretty evening…
Good evening from Northside…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This was Italian Romano Pork Meatloaf with Parmesan broccoli and red peppers…
And add some extra dust cheese…
It was another really delicious meal. All the meatloaf dinners we’ve tried have been outstanding. This was yet another meal that would have gone really well with garlic bread. But I’ve been told that not every meal needs to have garlic bread with it. Still, we like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
We watched Michigan run riot on Wisconsin. At one point in the second half, Michigan was up by 40 points courtesy of a stretch when the Wolverines outscored the Badgers 43-6…
And they’re only going to get better next season…
And five years ago, Michigan beat then #3 Maryland…
“Who’s got it better than us?” Hail! GO BLUE! 😀🌄🐾🍽️〽️🏀❤️

Good morning from Northside…
This morning we ran over to Target to do some shopping…
How cute are these bears? I love a bin of adorable bears…
And there was this adorable yeti stocking…
Greetings from Antarctica…
I designed the eCommerce basic images for all the holiday Swiss Miss hot cocoa gift sets…
Speaking of Swiss Miss, how long has there been Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa with Lucky Charms Marshmallows? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen this sorcery…
And speaking of cocoa, I love hot chocolate. It’s become my go-to drink whenever we go out to get coffee.
When we got home, it was time for day thirteen of my Lego City Advent Calendar…
We had snacks for lunch today…
We watched Arsenal lose 1-0 to Burnley…
It was the first time since December 1959 that the Gunners have lost four consecutive matches at home. They are really not doing well this season. At the same time as the Arsenal match, Michigan was playing their Big Ten opener against Penn State and our Cowboys were playing in Cincinnati against the Bengals…
Both Michigan and Dallas won their games. I guess, two out of three isn’t so bad.
Good evening from Northside…
Later, I had one of my favorite snacks, Ritz crackers and peanut butter…
We finished season one of Black Spot. It’s a very odd show. Very good, very interesting, but very odd. We’ll start on season two tomorrow. 😀🌄🛍️📺⚽️🏀🏈❤️

We drove up north for a long weekend in Michigan to visit my parents…
Even though we’re still firmly in the grips of the COVID-19 pandemic, we still managed to get out to do a surprising amount of stuff…
We sampled some terrific beers that my parents gathered on their travels like New Belgium’s Atomic Pumpkin. We went out to VerHage Fruit Farm and Cider Mill for donuts and fresh apple cider. We had lunch at Bell’s Eccentric Cafe and Presidential Brewing and COVID Carryout dinner from Four Rose’s in Plainwell. We also got Biggby Coffees and Sweetwater’s Donuts. And most importantly, we got to hang out with my parents because it’s been way too long since we’ve seen them. It was a great weekend. We hope the powers that be can curtail the pandemic soon and we can get up to Michigan more often next year. 😀🗺️⬆️❤️
