Chili and Jesus
He could’ve baked the most delicious cake in the world Lunch with Dave at Potluck. For you Cincinnatians, get the chili if you like it hot. Might replace Kaldi’s black bean chili as my favorite kicky soup. I started to sweat under the collar t-shirt a little. I don’t think Potluck makes any bad food.…

Independence Day Parade
The fire dept was able to make the parade, this after the countless calls they had last night, blaring their sirens out my window. Art and I crawled up on the roof last night to see the fireworks off in the distance of every direction. Seems that firecrackers sold on the sides of the interstate…

25 years and still awesome
The Beast I got some stuff out the door and checked off early Friday. After noon, Art and I decided to go to Kings Island spur of the moment with some free passes I had. It was a muggy day, slightly overcast. Hoping that would work to our advantage, we were right– the 9 dollar…

All that good California eating gone straight to pot. The vittles were tasty, and the atmosphere was BBQ joint-y. The highlight, among hanging out…

Family day
All filled in Drove out to my sisters today and enjoyed the drive. Picked up lots of supplies at the craft store and fabric store for my sewing project along the way. Took another shot of the half grazed hill for compare and contrast purposes. Amazing what a few months can do. Gave my brother…

Hay
Objects in mirror are weaker than they appearPhoto by Wendy So I baled hay on Saturday. Actually, the John Deere tractor and baler did that, I simply worked with a crew of 5 to move the hay from field to barn. As the day wore on, the bales seemed to be getting heavier— but the…

Fish, like company…
Two bears and a sea monkey It’s not often I can guilt folks into visiting the fine city of Cincinnati, but I managed to succeed this weekend. The three bears are still here and we’ve yet to exhaust all the kitsch shops and old architecture. They’re so easy to entertain. Today we popped into the…
