Cape Cod Spontaneous Trip ...

Photo-A-Day #514 09/04/06

Today Allison and I had a very spontaneous day. We started with breakfast on the back porch with Mom and Dad and then took a drive over to the Nobska Lighthouse to do some photo shooting. We ran from there to Grandma and Grandpa’s to share our pictures with Grandma. We also took Grandma for a walk around the block and we went out to the backyard for a little while.

We had intended to go home or to catch up with Neil and Andrea on the boat. While we were in the backyard the weather was beautiful and it had been a crappy weather weekend. So we changed plans and picked up some sandwiches to have on the beach. We went back to the house changed and headed over to the beach. That was just in time for a giant cloud to cover the sun. It was windy too, but we stuck it out until the cloud moved and the blue skies came back. As we were on the beach we got a call from Neil. They were at Bassett’s island and were going to head back to the house for burgers and dogs and strawberry shortcake. So we stayed at the beach for a while longer and went back and changed and headed over to their place. About an hour and a half later they were home. I mistakenly mixed up Toby’s island and Bassett’s island and it turns out that they were at the further island.

So, when Neil and Andrea arrived we headed out to pick up dinner while they showered. I was asked to pick up Jordan’s Old Tyme Franks. They were in fact Jordan’s red skins. But I asked for old tyme and that is what I got. We verified it and they were very good hot dogs. Dinner was a good time we also got some nice sunset photos across from the house. I have a few bonus shots from today.

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.
