Happy 4th of July 2004 ...

Okay so I am two days late with this.

The 4th of July was a great time at the Bennett Residence in Falmouth. On Saturday Allison and I went to the Bourne Bridge to do some walking/roller blading. Allison walked with a couple of women who were also walking for the Breast Cancer 3 Day. I took my roller blades and did the 10 mile loop up and back. We had a very nice day.

We also got some silver colored Adirondack chair drawer pulls for our bureau in our room at the cape. I got a chance to put together 1 of the nightstands (the other one gave me two "right" sides so that couldn't go together.) The decorations are slowly coming together for the room.

After a nice day on the beach, we took Allison's parent's to dinner at the Parrot Bar and Grille in Cataumet. The meal was very nice, followed by ice cream at the Somerset Creamery.

On Sunday we slept in (If you can call 6:00am sleeping in) and after the neighborhood parade festivities we went to the beach for the day. I started reading Dan Brown's Digital Fortress and Allison was reading Iris Johansen's The Search.

We had many people on the beach with us. Uncle Wayne, Murf, Dave, Aunt Cindy, Cathy, Connie and Chris, Cousins Erin, Paige, Justin and Nick came from the Bennett side, Plus Grandma and Grandpa. And from the Williams side was Aunt Donna, Cousin Carissa and Lindsey. After the beach we had a cookout and then went back to the beach for a great Falmouth Fireworks display. It was great to see everyone and enjoy a long weekend.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
