We found ourselves up in Centerville this morning. And we got to check out My Favorite Muffin…






We both got bagel breakfast sammiches…


And we got four muffins…

This was sugar cookie muffin covered in sprinkles…

And there were more sprinkles inside the muffin…

The dogs found a little patch of sunlight in our front bedroom…





Michigan lost to Sparty to end their championship regular season. The Wolverines first game of the Big Ten Tournament will be on Friday at 11:30am.

Around 10pm, we were watching the NBA All-Star Game on TNT and our lost our power. Apparently, all of Northside lost power…


Genifer got a text from the power company that said a car hit something that knocked out power to the entire neighborhood. I woke up around 1am and thankfully, our power was back on. ๐๐๐พ๐๐ฆโค๏ธ

Genifer picked up Oscar…

And she also picked up Tropical Smoothie Cafe for our lunch…










We had pesto tortellini for dinner tonight…


We’ve been watching Good Girl on Netflix. It’s been… entertaining. We’re about halfway through season three.

The sun was out and it was very pretty this morning…





Good morning from Northside….


But this evening, it was overcast again…



Good evening from Northside…


Genifer made buffalo chicken pasta for dinner tonight…

With garlic bread…

And we shared this slice of rainbow cake for dessert…



We watched a couple of movies on Amazon Prime Movies again. We watched Alex Cross. It was pretty good but it turns out we had already seen it and Nocturne. It was pretty bad. We need to find a new series to watch on Netflix. The sooner, the better. ๐๐๐จ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ฅ๐บโค๏ธ

It was very snowy this morning…









Good morning from Northside…




Work, work, work, work… And then the sun was really pretty this evening…





And good evening from Northside…



We hadย another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was Piri Piri Chicken and Feta with citrusy green beans…



It was another really delicious meal. The feta chicken was really good. And the green beans were topped crispy onions straws. It was really good. We like theย Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kitsย a lot.
Tonight, we watched Super 8 on Amazon Prime Video. It was good. Super cute. But you could tell it was an actual movie, not the typical low-budget schlock that you find on Prime Video. And that kind of takes some of the fun out of watching a movie on Amazon Prime. ๐๐๐จ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐บโค๏ธ

Happy Valentine’s Day!




Good morning from Northside…


We ran over to the grocery this morning…

I thought Ice Bear had been pulled out of the claw machine…

But he was just moved from the front corner to the back corner. poor guy…

They were still out of pandas and trains…

But there were still plenty of Valentine’s Day balloons…


Lotsa balloons…

Cincinnati was expecting a big winter storm starting later in the afternoon. And that made the check-out lines really long…



And we stopped for coffees…




Arsenal smacked around Leeds United, 4-2. And Michigan was finally back from their three week COVID pause and they had to play away to Wisconsin…


And BOOM! They didn’t miss a beat…

After the Michigan game, we went over to Taft’s for pizza…






We tried Taft’s newest beer, Hazy Cabana Juice…


It was really good. We got some loaded tots…

Very blurry tots. And we got a pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza…

Taft’s had a Valentine’s Day special with a heart-shaped pizza and cannoli. We didn’t get the special deal but they had extra cannoli and gave us a couple…

Good evening from Northside…


And then we hung out and had a few drinks and watched Mavs basketball…

It probably wasn’t the world’s most romantic Valentine’s Day but it was a really great Sunday. ๐๐โ๏ธ๐๐โค๏ธ

Good morning from Northside…


And tonight, we had the super rare Wednesday NYPD Pizza party…



Ohmigosh. NYPD Pizza is so good. Good evening from Northside…



And good evening from our backyard…





And then it time to play with Oscar and his hedgehog…

Tonight, we started watching Fate: The Winx Saga. It’s pretty okay. But our day was pretty great. Thanks to our Wednesday NYPD Pizza party. ๐๐๐๐พโค๏ธ

We work up this morning to more snow…



When we up atop the hill at the end of our street, a pretty big group of geese in their flying V formation flew by in front of us…

And then it was followed by two more Vs, all heading in the same direction…

Interestingly… A group of geese on land is called a gaggle. When they’re in flight, it becomes a skein, team or wedge of geese.
Also, scientists have determined that the V-shaped formation that geese use when migrating serves two important purposes: First, it conserves their energy. Each bird flies slightly above the bird in front of him, resulting in a reduction of wind resistance. The birds take turns being in the front, falling back when they get tired. This lets the geese fly for a long time before they have to stop for rest. The second benefit to the V formation is that it’s easy to keep track of every bird in the group, and may assist with the communication and coordination within the group. Ahhh.. the internet.

Anyway, it was a lot of geese. Good morning from Northside…


Hello moon…

And by this evening, most of our snow had melted again…




Good evening from Northside…




We hadย another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was Asian Sesame Pulled Pork with broccoli and jasmine riceโฆ

Broccoli is probably my favorite vegetable. The pulled pork had an amazing Asian glaze and the rice was really good too.

And Genifer made almond flour cupcakes with strawberry frosting…

Cupcakes are always terrific. Good evening from our backyard…


Tonight, we watched In Darkness on Netflix. It was pretty good. ๐๐โ๏ธ๐พ๐ฅก๐บโค๏ธ

It was very pretty all day today. It was really cold. But the sky was pretty all day…



Good morning from Northside…



We broke camp a little early this afternoon to go run and pick up pizza for our Thursday night pizza party…

But tonight, we got Domino’s for our pizza party, and we were pretty excited…




Ohmigosh. It was so good. We love pizza. We hadn’t had Dominos in a bit. Soooo good.
After we stuffed our faces, we took the dogs out around the block…


Good evening from Northside…





And good evening from our backyard…



Oscar has been working on his hedgehog’s nose for a while now. He chews on it almost every night and it’s getting comically long…


He loves that dang hedgehog. It’s one of his favorite toys.
And speaking of favorites, I love the comic book, Usagi Yojimbo. I lost track of it for a while. But recently, I rediscovered just how amazing the graphic novels are. Stan Sakai, the artist who created the series, is one of my favorite artists. I learned so many things about art and drawing from his his comics. I saw on Instagram that Usagi Yojimbo is coming to Netflix…

This has the potential to be so amazing if it stays true to the original. I’m very excited. Almost as excited as I was for our pizza tonight. ๐๐โ๏ธ๐๐พ๐บโค๏ธ
