Hello from Northside.

This morning we had a beautiful sunrise that we watched from our third-floor bedroom window, and we watched an equally as pretty sunset this evening in our backyard…

And just a HELLO! from our little family in Northside…

🙂

Downtown details.

Today is October 28th, and today’s high is near 70º. And noon today, the ice skating rink on Fountain Square is officially open for the ice skating season… 

Because why wouldn’t you want to ice skate before Halloween?  Or have an Halloween costume contest ON the ice? Makes perfect sense to me. :/

Another head-scratcher is the location of the Queen City Exchange on Court Street…

Queen City Exchange is one of those bars with stock market-style beer pricing. Prices change in 25-cent increments as supply and demand of different beers fluctuate. Prices drop dramatically during three-minute “market crashes” announced by a ringing bell. After the market “closes” at 9 pm, beer prices will be fixed for the rest of the night due to some silly Ohio law.

It’s really a pretty fun bar concept as we got to witness first hand up in Michigan at Kalamazoo Beer Exchange. It’s just a really odd location because there isn’t anything else nearby. :/

Ruth’s Parkside Cafe.

Tonight, we walked down Hamilton Avenue to Ruth’s Parkside Cafe. We’ve been wanting to eat at Ruth’s for a little bit. And celebrating our eight month wedding anniversary seemed like a pretty good excuse to finally check it out…

We started with these amazing Grilled Corn Risotto Cakes…

Genifer ordered Ruth’s House-Made Veggie Burger with pickled vegetables. We also ordered the grilled potatoes with cheddar cheese to share…

And I ordered Ruth’s Burger with good old American Cheese with chips…

Everything was delicious! We can’t wait to come back and try some of the other delicious sounding items on the menu at Ruth’s Parkside Cafe…

On the walk home, we double checked to make sure we were following Ruth’s Parkside Cafe on Twitter so could get all the notifications about their daily lunch and dinner specials. What a wonderful way to celebrate our eight month anniversary. 🙂

One year ago…

Our beloved bud dog and one of the best friends I’ve ever had, passed away a year ago this evening…

It’s really hard to believe Milan’s been gone for a year. There hasn’t been a day that’s gone by where we haven’t missed him in bunches. He’s always in our thoughts each and every day. And I’m so thankful that a least a couple of the photos I took of the bud dog show up in my Timehop almost every morning…

We all miss you so very much, Milan. And it breaks our hearts that you’re not still here with us. You were definitely taken from us far too soon. 😦

Rest in peace, bud dog. I will always love you more than words can ever say. :’)

Milan Fiala: January 5th, 2006 – October 27th, 2015

500.

Just recently, we surpassed the 500 post milestone here at T+G! It’s not too shabby of an accomplishment considering we’ve only been posting to T+G for almost a year.

Thanks for stopping by to see what we’ve been up to lately. 😀📮❤️

Northside nubs.

Genifer at Northside’s Cincinnati Firestation No. 20…

We’ve noticed this garage labelled garage before

But we didn’t notice that the yard and the house were labelled as well. It’s too cute…

Northside sure has it’s moments when it’s just beautiful. We love it over here. 🙂

Pause for paws.

Oscar loves laying in the sun on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Taken with Instagram. 🙂

Halloween, part one.

We had a little family get together this evening for Halloween. Genifer was a mermaid and I was Michigan’s football head coach, Jim Harbaugh…

It was a really fun evening. And our place looked pretty festive for the occasion too. 🙂

Good evening.

Happy Friday from my happy place… our backyard. Taken with Instagram. 🙂

Thunderstorms.

It’s been grey and rainy here all day since the moment we woke up…

When I was walking Oscar this morning, it looked like this to the east…

And it looked like this to the west when we got to the end of the street…

This evening there was an almost constant rumble of thunder and lightning…
