It looked like it was going to be another grey and overcast day. Hopefully, the sun will come out a little bit later just like it did yesterday.
Bear has become my new shadow. It seems like he’s never more than a few feet away. While I was working today, he slept in Mack’s crate next to me in our office. And he brought all of his new favorite toys with him…
The sun never came out today. It was grey and overcast all day long…
Good evening from Northside…
We tried to play in our backyard before it started to rain…
The sky started getting darker and darker…
When we got upstairs, it was starting to sprinkle again…
And then it started getting really yellow outside…
We used to see it quite a few abandoned shoes when we lived downtown. Somehow it made a little more sense to me downtown. I don’t know why.
The little shrub in our front yard is starting to blossom…
Just as I was settling in to get down to work, it started pouring…
Slowly throughout the day, the sun started to come out. Later, we had to pick up a refill of Oscar’s allergy pills from the vet. And then we continued on to Finneytown to pick up some carry-out Domino’s pizza for dinner…
We usually have our pizza parties on Thursday. But we were in the neighborhood. So why not have a Wednesday Domino’s pizza party?
Genifer ordered a crispy thin crust with pepperoni and banana peppers. I got a thick pan crust double sausage and we shared some cheesy bread…
Dominos pizza is delicious. It’s so good. When we lived downtown, we used to order Dominos all the time but we don’t get it as much now because it’s just not as convenient as it was and they don’t deliver to Northside. And that’s a bit of a bummer. But what are you going to do?
Good evening from Northside…
It turned out to be a really pretty evening. And it wasn’t a bad Wednesday either. But pizza parties help make any day pretty darn good. 😀🗓️❤️
We ran over to Mad Llama for some weekend morning coffee…
This morning I tried the Mad Llama bacon breakfast burrito…
And there it is…
It was really good stuff. I like breakfast burritos. Next time we go to Mad Llama, I think I’m going to try one of their breakfast sammiches.
We ran out so I could drop off a return at the UPS Store. Guess what. Come to find out the UPS Store is closed on Sundays. Who knew? At least it gave us an excuse to get some Mad Llama Coffee. When we got home, Genifer started painting our living room. Here’s what it looked like primed and before she started…
And when we came downstairs to check on her, she had made a lot of progress…
It’s looking so good. She’s doing a great job. But she thinks we’re going to need to get more paint to do a second coat.
We ate all the grilling leftovers from yesterday for a late lunch today. Stuff from the grill is so good, Even when it’s warmed up the next day.
Later, we took the dogs on a walk…
And good evening from Northside…
When we got to the top of the steps, it looked really threatening off in the distance…
It got really winding in our backyard when we got home. But then it blew over and the big fluffy white clouds were back…
We had a pretty low-key Sunday but Genifer has our living room starting to look pretty amazing! I can’t wait to see it without all the painter tape. 😀🗓️❤️
This display looked really great as well. And then we stopped at Mad Llama for coffee…
When we got home, I had a big bowl of Shining Stars with my Mad Llama Java Whip…
After work. we had delicious BLTs for dinner…
I really love BLTs. When we took the dogs for their evening walk, the skies looked kinda ominous and threatening…
Thankfully, it seemed like those dark clouds had passed us…
The ice cream man drove by…
Of course, we didn’t have any money on us. Because we were just walking the dogs.
Good evening from Northside…
It was starting to look threatening again. But when we were walking down the steps, the sun came back out. At the bottom of the steps, we saw this Northside sidewalk snail but it was hiding inside its shell right in the middle of the sidewalk…
I picked it up and moved it over so it wasn’t right in the middle of the sidewalk…
Those are some really grey clouds. I’m happy we made it through another work week.
This evening we watched more of Hanna Season 2 on Amazon Prime. 😀🗓️❤️
We had to run some errands up north today, and afterward, we found ourselves out in Lebanon. We stopped to fill up our gas tank at this Marathon station…
It was just across the street from this train…
And we were presented with an unusual fuel option…
🤔
We decided to just go with the plus. On our back home, we stopped at Quatman Cafe in Mason for lunch. We’ve been to the Quatman in Norwooda couple of times but we’ve never been to the one in Mason before…
Quatman always has a daily special. Today’s special was a cheeseburger, fries or onion rings and a drink for $8. Two, please…
Those onion rings look delicious…
And those burgers were as delicious as they were big. And they were huge! I don’t know why we don’t do to Quatman in Norwood more. Their burgers are terrific and it’s really inexpensive to eat there. We really need to change that and eat more Quatmans.
Quatman was sooo good. When we got home, we took the dogs on a walk around the block. There were some ominous looking storm clouds that had just passed us…
But as soon as we got around the block and up to the top of the hill at the end of our street, it started raining…
And when we got home and looked out in the backyard, it was pouring…
It seemed fitting that it would rain on the end of our weekend. It was a great Monday. It was a really great long weekend. And now we only have to work four days this week to get to our next weekend!
Why do Mondays always have to be so grey and overcast?
Today, I found this on the intertubes…
Yeah. I don’t know either. We didn’t get grilled cheeses. We had BLTs for dinner…
I love BLTs. It’s crazy how such a simple sammich can be so dang good. I put some turkey and cheese on my sammich. So I guess it was actually more of a turkey club sammich if you think about it. But it was really good though.
Good evening from Northside…
Still gloomy. But we made it through another Monday. 😀🌄🥪🥓🥬🍅🧀❤️
Good morning from Northside. It was pretty grey and overcast…
This morning we ran over to Lowe’s get a few things. I really liked these flowers…
They are so pretty. I want to get some of them. We’ll just have to figure out where we can put them. Maybe we could put them on the side of our house after our backyard fence is replaced in the beginning of September. So maybe next summer?
All of the beers in our flight were really tasty. We tried a couple of their seltzers. Genifer had their peach and I had their watermelon. Both of them were really delicious…
And we shared one of their Hawaiian pizzas…
Their Hawaiian pizza was so good. It was kind of unusual because they put pulled pork on top of it. But it worked really well and it was delicious. We really like March First.
It was supposed to taste just like a Bomb Pop. And they nailed it. I swear you could even taste the little wooden stick in the middle. It was really a great seltzer. It was so good that we just sat out on our back porch and drank them all this evening.
Today was Father’s Day. We hope all the dads had a wonderful day. Genifer The dogs got me an awesome new BBQ utensil set and a super-cool new Reds t-shirt for Father’s Day. It was really very unexpected. She’s the best wife. They’re the best dogs.
