I Need a Happy Post ...

Because this weekend is going to be filled with funerals and a time of mourning.

Last night however, Allison and I spent the evening with our friends Steve and Erin. We brought over some great pizza and played the game Scene It. We played as individuals and the game took longer than when we play as couples. The game flies as couples, so we really get a full game playing as individuals. I hadn’t taken my Photo-A-Day yet and got out the camera. Steve got out his camera to make sure he got a photo of me taking the Photo-A-Day. Then I took a photo of him taking a photo of me.

We really had a great time visiting with Steve and Erin and the laughter and joy of their two beautiful children, Shaun and Katie. The laughter and good times we shared last night was exactly what we needed yesterday. We certainly are blessed to have such wonderful friends.

Also I would like to thank everyone who has sent condolences on for Great-Uncle Richard. The wake is tomorrow at Dyer-Lake Funeral Home and the funeral is on Monday. The obituary is out today and I am trying to grab it off the Sun Chronicle’s website, but it doesn’t seem to be cooperating. I’ll post once I can get it. Great-Uncle Richard had a great love of Photography that I share. From the obit “He enjoyed photography, preferring to take the pictures rather than being in the object within them.” Sounds alot like how I feel about pictures.

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.
