What do they say about best laid plans?

We watched soccer this morning…

Good morning from Northside…

We planned to drive up to Waynesville to check out the Waynesville Fall Fest…

But it looked a lot smaller in person than it did on the map, there were so many cars in the parking lot, and we didn’t see any masks on people walking in to the fest….

We decided to add Waynesville Fall Fest to the list of things to do next fall along with the Waynesville Sauerkraut Festival. So we decided to walk through the little shops in Waynesville again…

But first coffee…

I actually got a non-dairy maple shake instead. And it was pretty amazing…

But Genifer got coffee…

The cow painting that I love was still there…

We found three oil paintings here at Lilly’s Corner Mall….

And I almost got this one for the studio office…

If it’s still there the next time we come up to Waynesville, I’m going to get it.

Last time we were in Waynesville, we were told that this building is haunted by two spirits; a little girl and an older man in a top hat. And that they can sometimes be seen looking out the second floor windows…

So now we always stop to look to see if we see anyone in the windows…

Waynesville is always fun. We enjoy wandering in and out of all the little shops. On our way home, we stopped at Genntown Farms to get a couple of little pumpkins…

We stopped for lunch at Doc’s Place in Lebanon…

Genifer had a turkey burger…

I ordered this huge fish hoagie…

We stopped at a little bakery in Lebanon and got cupcakes for later and stopped for coffee at Kidd Coffee in Mason….

Here are our cupcakes….

And here are the paintings we found today….

We took the dogs around the block and Chloe was our in her front yard…

Good evening from Northside…

Tonight, we finished Only Murderers in the Building on Hulu. It was pretty cute…

It was a really good sports day too. Michigan thumped Northwestern 33-7 and #2 Cincinnati squeaked by Navy 27-20. In soccer, Louisville City knocked off Memphis 901 3-1, Minnesota United drew with LAFC 1-1 and FC Cincinnati lost to Inter Miami 5-1. FC|C’s loss virtually guarantees they’ll win their third wooden spoon in three seasons in MLS. The wooden spoon is awarded to the team that finishes with the lowest point total in MLS. Three for three. At least they’re incredibly consistent.

We had a really good Saturday. 😀🌄🖼️🍔📺❤️

It was a rainy Tuesday.

Good morning from Northside…

When we got home from our walk, we walked to mailbox…

Genifer has been mixing a little beef broth with the buddies dry food and they’ve been loving it…

This afternoon it started pouring down rain…

Our HelloFresh meal was Pork & Pepper Enchiladas with pico de gallo and lime crema…

And we still haven’t a bad meal from HelloFresh. This one was another delicious one.

Good evening from Northside…

It was a rainy and overcast Tuesday. 😀🌄🐾🌧️🇲🇽❤️

Why are Mondays always so grey?

It was another overcast and grey Monday morning. And they were already getting to work on our street…

Good morning from Northside…

They were cutting our street this morning…

Y0u kn ow what brightens up a Monday? Grilled cheeses and chicken nuggets…

Guess what? when we took the dogs for their evening walk, it was still overcast…

Good evening from Northside…

When they were working on the street earlier, they must have pushed the dumpster up into the empty lot at the end of our street…

And that’s actually a pretty good thing because it had been creeping further and further out into the street. And we made it through another Monday. 😀🌄🐔🥪❤️

Burgers on a Sunday?!

We ran over to the grocery this morning…

And we stopped for java whips at Mad Llama…

Good morning from Northside…

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. 😀🌄🐼🚂🎈☕️🍔❤️

An afternoon in Waynesville.

Good morning from Northside…

They were working on our street this morning…

Early this afternoon, we headed up to Waynesville…

They were having a little street faire that we wanted to check out and we wanted to wander in and out of the all the little shop in the “antique capital of the MIdwest…”

Waynesville has a lot of very historic buildings…

We were going to eat at Stone House Tavern…

So we walked back down to the end of the street faire to one of the food trucks…

They had Canadian Poutine…

Believe it or not, we’ve never had poutine before. And it was delicious…

We stopped for a espresso milk shake…

When we were done shopping, we ordered a pizza to take home with us…

And Genifer got and coffee and I got a strawberry smoothie for the ride home…

Good evening from Northside…

They didn’t make much progress on our street…

The pizza was delicious! Waynesville was a lot of fun. We were looking for old paintings to hang in our dining room. We found a few paintings to get us started. It was a really good Sunday. 😀🌄🚧🛍️🖼️🍕❤️

A tour of Northside eats.

The sunrise was pretty this morning…

We had to move our cars this morning because they were supposed to start working on our street…

Before we moved our cars, we stopped for coffee at Sidewinder…

We found parking spots for both of our cars around the corner on Pullan Street…

And then we took the dogs on their morning walk…

Good morning from Northside…

I got a cinnamon roll for breakfast at Sidewinder…

At lunchtime, there still wasn’t any work taking place on our street…

We walked to back over to Morsel & Nosh for lunch…

We saw on their Instagram that they had a Cubano sammich as a special today. And it looked delicious…

It was every bit as delicious as it looked. We love our lunches for Morsel & Nosh.

And for dinner, we walked down to Gulow Street…

We met our neighbor friends at Gulow Street. And while we were there, we ran into our other neighbors and got to talk to them for a while. Now we have two neighbor friends on our street.

Good night from Northside…

We love our neighborhood. 😀🌄☕️🥪🍔🐾❤️

The Premier League is back!

Well, it’s almost back. The Premier League season begins again in earnest tomorrow with newly promoted Brentford playing host to my Arsenal. In anticipation of the new season, here is the new Premier League Matchday Intro for the 2021/22 season. And it’s absolutely magnificent…

Welcome back, Premier League. I simply cannot wait for tomorrow. And come on you, Gunners! 😀⚽️😍❤️

There’s going to be road work.

Good morning from Northside…

It looks like they are going to be working on our street for the next couple of days…

Good evening from Northside…

I wonder what the plan is for our street. I guess we’ll find out soon. 😀🌄🚧❤️

A pretty good Wednesday.

Good morning from Northside…

Our final Hello Fresh meal this week was Street-Cart-Style Chicken Shawarma Bowls with bell pepper, pistachio rice and creamy cilantro sauce…

We went three-for-three again on our HelloFresh meals this week. They were all delicious. And we still haven’t had a meal that was even just mediocre, let alone bad. Two thumbs up.
