I woke up super extra early this morning and shoveled the snow we got overnight from our sidewalk…
Good morning from Northside…
And good evening from Northside..
Today was a really long day. But I got all my projects finished. 😀🌄🌨️❄️❤️

It’s cold outside.
It was really cold this morning…
Good morning from Noerhside…
When we came back from our walk, I noticed my Bombas were on the wrong feet..
The breakfast of champions: Strawberry Toaster Strudels and hot chocolate…
And SURPRISE! It was still snowy this evening…
Good evening from Northside…
We had Sloppy Joseph’s for dinner tonight…
We played in the backyard for a bit…
And then it was back to work while we watched more of Wanted on Netflix.
😀🌄🌨️❄️🛷❤️

Winter wonderland.
We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland…
There were perfect sledding conditions on the hill at the end of our street. But I had so much work to do that I didn’t have time to partake. The next time it snows we’re finally going to sled the hill. All afternoon, we could hear kids screaming as they were sliding down the hill. When we went our walk this evening, we could see that the hill had got a lot of love today…
Someone lost their mitten gloves…
Good evening from Northside…
I can’t wait for the next time we get a good snow so we can finally go sledding.
😀🌄🌨️❄️🛷❤️

Lots of geese.
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 had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was Asian Sesame Pulled Pork with broccoli and jasmine rice…
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. 😀🌄❄️🐾🥡📺❤️

Another snowy day.
It was all snowy again this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
And tonight, it was actually still snowy…
Good evening from Northside…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was BBQ Cheddar Meatballs with bacon potatoes…
It was another really delicious meal. The meatballs were terrific and the bacon potatoes were really good. But honestly, it felt like something like that could just as easily been made from scratch. And that’s a good thing because maybe we could make this one again. It was really good. We like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
And then we went upstairs to try to find a movie to watch…
We watched The Rhythm Section on Amazon Prime. It was not terrible. But our day was pretty good, especially for a Monday. 😀❄️🍽️🐾📺❤️

Snowy and not so snowy.
It was very snowy this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
By this evening, all the snow was gone. Good evening from Northside…
We watched some soccer and some basketball. But we just had another really nice lazy, relaxing Sunday. 😀🌄🌨️❄️🌧️❤️

Happy Saturday!
It’s Saturday! Happy Saturday!
Good morning from Northside…
We ran over to the grocery this morning…
And Ice Bear was still locked inside the claw grab machine…
And there was only one panda and the trains were all sold out…
We always liked 21st Amendment’s Hell or High Watermelon. But we’ve never seen Hell or High Mango before. We’ll have to give it a try sometime…
And we saw this M-43 NE IPA from Old Nation Brewing in Williamston, Michigan over on the other side of Lansing…
I’d never really heard of One Nation Brewing or Williamston before. There were still some football balloons before next weekend’s Superb Owl big game…
And there were some Valentine’s Day balloons…
Bunches and bunches of Valentine’s Day balloons…
We stopped at Biggby for coffee…
And we had a BOGO…
We’re saving our Christmas Biggby gift cards for when we don’t have a free one…
Mmmmm… Biggby…
Arsenal played a nil-nil draw with United. And Xavier resumed their season, picking up right where they left off with a 13 point win at Butler.
Good evening from Northside…
And later it started snowing…
It started snowing kind of a lot for us. We were watching the snow accumulate on our street from our third-floor WyzeCam…
We watched The White Tiger on Netflix and then started season one of Unit 42. The White Tiger was pretty good and Unit 42 is just pretty okay. And that was our Saturday It was a pretty happy Saturday. 😀🌄🎈☕️❄️📺❤️

We got a little snow.
This morning, we took the dogs all the way around the block…
Good morning from Northside…
It started snowing this afternoon…
Good evening from Northside…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was Chicken Thigh Shawarma Wild Rice Bowl with tzatziki sauce…
It was another really delicious meal. Chicken and rice bowls are terrific. And we love anything with tzatziki sauce. We like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
A lot of my favorite basketball teams aren’t playing because of COVID-19. Just tonight, Wichita State, Michigan and Grizzlies all had games postponed…
Thank goodness they haven’t paused all the games and we could watch some other games tonight. 😀🌄☁️🌨️❄️🏀📺❤️

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
Today, we remember the legacy of a great man. We honor The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr… a man who dared to dream while standing fearlessly in the face of adversity. We celebrate the man who taught us to dream while still loving others…
“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”
“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”
“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.”
“Everybody can be great … because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
We both had the day off work today for the holiday. It was a cold and snowy day…
Good morning from Northside…
Genifer made cheesy buffalo chicken pasta with garlic bread for lunch…
Good evening from Northside…
I realized when we got to the stairs at the top of the hill at the end of our street that I had forgotten my little fisheye Moment lens…
Today, we watched Arsenal beat Newcastle 3-0. And we watched the MLK Day NBA games especially the Grizzlies win over the Suns. I like the Griz. I think they have the best logo in the NBA. It was a very nice day off. And another very low-key, relaxing day. 😀🌄❄️🔥🐔⚽️🏀❤️

Ohhh… Epic tacos!
There were still snow flurries this morning…
And it was still cold and grey…
Good morning from Northside…
We ventured out to try something new this afternoon, Agave & Rye in Rookwood…
We started with some chips and guacamole…
Genifer loves guacamole…
And it was really good at Agave & Rye. We also started with the elotte…
And we each had an epic taco. Genifer had The Buddha: teriyaki 5-spice tofu, sticky rice, baby corn, water chestnuts, cilantro, green onion, carrots, red bell pepper, Shiitake mushrooms, crispy wontons, sweet thai chili sauce…
I love ground beef tacos. And they’re kind of hard to find out. Agave & Rye had two on their menu. So this time I ordered The Cousin of Vinnie: seasoned ground beef, tomato-vodka sauce, mac n cheese, white cheddar, tobacco onions and queso cushion in between the two taco shells…
Next time, I’ll try the other ground beef taco. Their tacos were amazing and huge. And they had a bunch of interesting sounding tacos on their menu.
Everything we ordered was delicious…
Agave & Rye had a whole bunch of arcade game that would have been fun to play…
But we’re still in the middle of a pandemic and I didn’t want to touch anything…
Agave & Rye was incredible. Everything was delicious. Their tacos were huuuuge. And we left so stuffed. I think we just found our new favorite taco shop now that Django Western Taco has moved out of Northside.
When we got home, we took the dogs out around the block…
And it was still cold…
Good evening from Northside…
We ended up taking a nap. And later, we watched the NFL playoff games…
I was happy to see Tom Brady win. I was sad to see Drew Brees lose. And I thought the refs jobbed the Browns. How did they miss this helmet-to-helmet hit? Most likely, it cost the Browns a touchdown and they would end up losing by 5 points. Next weekend, I’ll be cheering for Brady and the Bills. Because nothing would be worse than a State Farm Superb Owl with Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. I don’t really care for either of them very much.
But anyway, we had a really great day with some epic tacos! 😀🌄❄️🌮🐾🏈❤️
