Northside & Rouge

Now that the Seester is living downtown, it's no longer just a two minute drive down the street to hang out; not to mention the amount of gas my vehicle guzzles round trip. Luckily, we were able to find a bit of time to spend together, so we met up in Northside for lunch and a quick stroll through town. She kindly treated me to a yummy vegan meal including dessert, and brought along some lovely company!

It was an active afternoon in Northside which made for some productive "people-watching" and created some interesting sights and sounds. We had fun discovering some street graffiti including the infamous "Shepherd Fairy", whom has seemed to make his mark heavily throughout the Cincinnati area.

My sister has such a wacky personality, so it makes sense that she has a friend like Johnny! They make one fantastic duo, and I don't think I stopped laughing the entire afternoon. It was a splendid day!

There's nothing better than an afternoon spent taking pictures on a beautiful day, if you ask me. Cidney had the day off from her normal busy schedule, so we easily decided on a rendezvous overlooking the city. Some of my most favorite moments are spent behind the lens of a camera, and it's such a wonderful feeling being able to share that same passion with a dear friend; it's an effortless connection. Although the gloomy weather today didn't serve quite as "photo-friendly", I am crossing my fingers for an opportunity to shoot some more tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm bringing this evening to a close with some " Rachel Zoe Project", and snuggle time with my Cee-Cee.

Just a gal and her "Philly" cheese-steak.... in Cincinnati

 Chris is BACK and golly did I miss the boy! We both happened to be off work today, so we did what we do best....eat, window shop, and complain about how much we hate these high temps!! I was thrilled to finally  introduce his taste buds to "Melt", a charming (and veg head friendly!) eatery in Northside. My most highly recommended item on the menu is the "vegan Philly cheese-steak" with a side of "rainbow slaw", which creates the perfect combination of flavors! My carnivorous husband, opted for the "Joan of Arc" piled high with roast beef, blue cheese, red peppers, and more! After our bellies were full, we headed across the street to "Shake It, Records", to browse vinyls and even buy a few to add to the collection. On the list, some "Black Keys"," Iggy Pop", and of course" The Smiths". Ending  the night right, I have a kitten falling asleep in my lap, and a husband serenading me with a guitar. GOODNIGHT ALL, AND MUCH LOVE!
