The day got off to an overcast start…
Good morning from Northside…
They started working in front of our house again this morning…
There was a lot going on for quick second on our street…
And that’s the progress they made today…
Good evening from Northside…
Mack and Oscar were all tuckered out…
It’s not everyday construction equipment rips up your street, let alone your front yard. 😀🌄🚧🐾❤️

Our Ikea sofa has seen better days. We don’t really sit on it very much anymore. The dogs kind of claimed it and started sitting on it more than we did. We ordered a new one that’s supposed to be here pretty soon-ish. It’s still a nice sofa, comfy and functional and all. But it’s just become kind of dingy…
So this morning I listed it on Nextdoor…
We didn’t feel right charging someone for it. But we didn’t want to see go to the dump. It’s still nice enough that someone could still get some good use out of it. Some college kids picked it up this evening…
We got a lot of good use out of it…
It was a really nice sofa. 😀🏡❤️

Three years ago, we were at our 257th Reds baseball game at Great American Ball Park, give or take a game or two…
Our plan for this summer was to drop FC Cincinnati entirely and go to many more Reds baseball games. We’ve just gone off FC|C completely. We enjoy the Reds games so much more than the soccer matches. GABP is my happy place. And I really missed going to baseball games this summer.
Of course, that plan never materialized. So thanks for that, COVID-19.
Hopefully, next summer. Thanks for the memories, Timehop. 😐🦕⚾️❤️

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. 😀🌄🚧🌊🍜❤️

Can you believe today is already the first day of fall?
Good morning from Northside…
It looked like they were going to make it to our house to start working on our water line this morning…
So we pushed our rocks back and pulled up our bricks…
But by this afternoon, they still hadn’t got to our house yet…
It seems like our house is littered with clusters of dog toys…
We had delicious Ramen noodles for dinner tonight…
I stumbled upon these incredible Korean BBQ Ramen noodles at the grocery. They’re so tasty and good, and a little spicy.
Good evening from Northside…
Maybe they’ll start working in front of our house tomorrow. 😀🌄🚧🍜❤️

Good morning 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 Bacon Crusted Chicken with ranch potatoes…
It was another really delicious dinner. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
We played some ball in the backyard…
And good evening from Northside…
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. 😀🌄❤️

We love our new little side yard…
And we love our backyard fence…
Good morning from Northside…
This afternoon we drove out to West Chester…
We had lunch at Dingle House…
They had a peanut butter milk stout from Left Hand that was just out of this world…
Genifer ordered Mike’s pastrami on sour dough…
I had a half-order of their fish and chips…
While we out in West Chester, we visited Geri for a bit, gathered Oscar and Bear to finally bring them back home with us and then we headed back to Northside…
Good evening from Northside…
And this evening, we watched Minnesota United draw with Houston and Louisville City thump Memphis…
It was another really good Saturday. 😀🌄🇮🇪📺⚽️❤️

Good morning from Northside…
Mack usually hangs out with me in our office while I’m working but today he wandered off. And I found sleeping in my spot on our bed…
When were out on our walk this evening, we saw this yard sign…
Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is traditionally the nation’s largest Oktoberfest and the second largest in the world to the original Oktoberfest in Munich. And apparently even with COVID-19 this year, Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is still taking place around town at favorite Cincinnati eateries and pubs and In Za House at home…
Good evening from Northside….
Oktoberfest Zinzinnati In Za Haus will enable Oktoberfest lovers to get their German on at home by ordering do-it-yourself Oktoberfest Zinzinnati Zelebration Packs. This year’s mostly virtual Oktoberfest starts today and runs through next Saturday, September 27th. PROST!
And good night from our backyard…
Thank goodness, it’s Friday. 😀🌄🥨❤️
