BBQ, Kenny, Ellis and Antje ...

Yesterday Allison and I went to New Hampshire in the morning. I got 3 hours of sleep and then we were off. Went went up to see Dan and Marcia and then went over to see Ken and Alicia for Alicia’s MBA celebration party. Ken went to the Bull Run and got some great steak tips and fired up the Webber and got the bbqing going. Here’s Kenny at the BBQ.


Kenny the BBQ King.

After we left Ken and Alicia we went back to the house and Erin and Bart came down to have dinner with us and to head down to North Andover to see Antje Duvekot and Ellis Paul at the Crossroad’s Coffeehouse.

Antje opened the show and she was fantastic, she has such a wonderful voice and her songwriting is amazing. We were actually seated directly behind her. After the show she signed my copy of her newest CD Boys, Flowers, Miles. And I asked if I could get a photo with her as well. She was very gracious and nice to meet. I look forward to seeing her again in the future.


Drew and Antje.

Ellis took the stage and he played another fantastic set. He played about an hour and then we took a break and then he played some more and asked for suggestions/requests. Allison shouted out Words. Words is going to be our wedding song. So Ellis played Words and it was awesome.

Allison bought Ellis’ new CD called American Jukebox Fables. We waited in line to get that signed and we also got our picture taken with Ellis.


Allison,Ellis and Drew.
(Notice how cute Allison’s outfit is. It is my favorite one at the moment. Totally brings the blue out in her eyes.)

So when Ellis began to sign the CD he asks, who should I make this out to, and Allison says “Allison” and I say “and Drew”. So we had a little laugh at that and talked to him about our wedding and our choice of Words as the wedding song. Now notice that Allison and I was pictured with Ellis, but only I am with Antje. That is because when Drew gets to talk to a cute female singer he forgets everything and gets tongue tied. So The CD is only made out to me and only I am in the picture.

Thanks for taking the photos Bart.

We had a great weekend hanging out with Erin and Bart and seeing Antje and Ellis. And lunch with Dan and Marcia and Aunt Sandy and Aunt Sandy’s famous chocolate chip cookies.

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.
