Beware the Flu!
It will get you!
This is my interpretation of the seasonal flu…
Yep, Chris and I both got it this past week. Nothing like two adults home sick at the same time! We’re actually just now finally starting to feel better, but it kept us both home and out of work for a few days (also kind of ruined our Halloween weekend). I haven’t been that sick in years! Fortunately, we are both getting back to normal now, and Max seems to be staying pretty healthy so far…
Hope everyone else out there stays healthy…

A Birthday Dinner
Today was my husband, Chris’s 31st birthday. I made dinner of his request: lasagna. It was OK… I really don’t cook very much. Dessert is oh so much more important in my opinion!

Is it worth the candy?

Ahh- Trick-or-Treat! Max was weighing the advantages of getting candy versus having to walk through all of the scary decor. He ultimately decided that it wasn’t worth the risk. His cousin, Candy Corn Carly, however, marched right on up without hesitation to clain her treat.
All the kids in their costumes- Max’s oldest cousin Joe (13) as the Joker, Max dressed as “Dark” Vader (you know, Darth’s less famous younger brother), and Max’s other cousin, Carly (7) as a little Candy Corn Princess or something (who cares- she was cute as a button!).

Vine

The front of this building on Eastern Avenue in Linwood is completely covered in vines, and now they are bright shades of red and orange. Very pretty this time of year.

Hidden Secret

Theme: Black & White
This is a scenic overlook hidden in the neighborhoods of Mariemont. It’s one of those places that you just have to know is there, and the first time you see it, it catches you by surprise. It’s just a semi-circle shaped stone structure that overlooks the Miami River Valley. It’s very simple and secluded- a pretty, quiet place to visit.
I got several photos that kind of captured the essense of it… the garbage cans were problematic for me though- I didn’t like those at all!

Could you sleep here?
Theme: There’s No Place Like Home
No, this isn’t my home… but while driving by, I was so struck by how creepy and haunted house-like this manor was that I had to take a couple photos of it. Really, it looked like a haunted house out of a movie, and I had to wonder, who can call this place home? Not to mention, it’s in an upscale neighborhood and the house itself, as you can see, is huge… so I’m sure it’s by no mistake that somebody has invested in the creepiest house I have ever seen! It did appear to be inhabited, and I kept wondering- Who goes to sleep in there at night? I really don’t think I could…

The next best thing
Theme: Our Town
If you couldn’t get a ticket to attend the Bengal’s game at Paul Brown Stadium, heading down to watch the game on the big-screen at Fountain Square in the heart of downtown Cincinnati just might be the next best thing. Fans get the atmosphere and comraderie of watching with fellow fans, plus plenty of beer, and Cincinnati-style Skyline Chili.

Falling Temple

Theme: Neglected
This is the “Temple of Love” in Cincinnati’s Mt. Storm park that has been neglected and is falling into disrepair. I’ve seen photos of this in its better days and it is a stunning structure. It’s sad that it is literally falling apart and is no longer accessible. Hopefully someone, somewhere has plans to “rescue” this gem.

Max’s soccer team with their medals at the league-sponsored end-of-season party. The kids really enjoyed getting to take a “silly face” picture.
