I'm in Iowa ...

Well, I just landed in Iowa, got to the hotel. They gave me a Toyota Matrix, not a bad little car. I finished Shockwave by Clive Cussler and will probably start Flood Tide on the flights back on Thursday. Nothing much to report on today. At least this hotel has free high speed Internet.

I just realized that I do have a few things to talk about.

1.) The guy who was badly burned on my street is in ICU at Brigham and Women’s. He was airlifted from Sturdy. Our neighbor who helped the guy who was burned, was also burned on his hands.

2.) While on the plane I found a couple of interesting websites on the American Way magazine pages.

The first on is called Wannado, it is an amusement park for kids who want to try different types of jobs. This place lets them be surgeons for a day and things like that. They have dummies with realistic skin and the kids scrub in and work on the dummies. They can also be bankers and grocery store owners, pizza makers, and firefighters and things like that. There is one Wannado City in Orlando and they are looking to expand to other cities. Sounds like an interesting thing to do with your kids, if you have kids.

The second site was Ecreamery. This site lets you custom make your own ice cream. But be warned it is wicked expensive. One gallon in 4 quart containers is $89.95 I love ice cream and always wanted a strawberry ice cream with white chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips in it but that ridiculous. I’m gonna get me some chips and strawberry ice cream and a mixer. And maybe save $85.00. Check them out though, they have some wacky flavors like Rose and Maize. And some weird toppings like cheddar cheese. Yeah I’d like the Nachito flavored ice cream, make sure it has extra jalapenos.

The last site is for Custom M&M’s. And the pricing on this is a little bit more reasonable. You can have your own custom messages on the M&M’s. So for wedding favors and whatnot. Although if you go that route on your wedding favors you better have some bucks. The smallest package is $3.25 each with a minimum order of 16 packages or $60.00.

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.
