Getting Together at Caroline's- Aug 24, 2009

It had been a while since our class had a mow-down, stuff-our-bellies fest at Caroline's and it was just as yummy as always. New-father Jeff showed off his coordination in falling off his seat and we made Simon and Myles sandwiches after moving inside with the cooler weather.

Terry's Turf Club- Aug 28, 2009

After hearing so much about the hole-in-the-wall burger joint, Kim and I decided we had to go. We both happened to have the next day off (a not so common occurence) and went all out with delicious burgers at Terry's followed by a wine tasting and a flight of Italy's best at Awakenings after. Check out the enormous knife they gave Kim.

BBQ at the Nyes- Aug 22, 2009

Abby and Jeff decided to have an impromptu grill-out at their place and as usual the alphabet club was happy to oblige in the yummy kabobs and giant ice cream cookie sandwiches. The Lee's brought over the Speckner's dogs and it was a manic compilation of dogs and babies. Good fun.

St. Mary's Funfest- Aug 15, 2009

Little "quattro," Thomas Wood iv made it out and about for St. Mary's funfest where Simon had a blast going down the "really big slide." "It was a little scary."

Goettafest- Aug 4, 2009

Since Kim's mom denies goetta's German origins, it must really just be a Cincinnati product. Someone said 95% of the world's goetta is consumed in Cincinnati, USA. Ha! So in honor of this random patty of random meat and oats, the yearly Goettafest attracts throngs of Cincinnatians.

Cincinnati in All It's Glory- Aug 2, 2009

It'd been over 2 years since I'd last walked over the purple people bridge and it was a fantastic, sunny day to do so. Missy, Patty, and I marveled at how nice the river looked on this particular day and enjoyed some al fresco dining in Newport.

Asian People Biking- Aug 1, 2009

BIking fever is taking over Asians in Cincinnati. Everyone's buying a bike. After not riding since middle school, Patty jumped in and Marian soon followed. The Loveland Trail calls.
