My Childhood Piggy Bank ...

Photo-A-Day #577 11/06/06

I got asked today, “Drew do you ever run out of things to put on the blog?”. I mean I have been keeping this blog updated for almost 3 years now and have said many things. I’ve taken many pictures. Sometimes I have a hard time coming up with something to say each day but when I start typing I just let my stream of consciousness flow. That really drives Allison crazy because she goes back through and fixed the grammatical errors and spelling errors I make. I use spell check but sometimes I fat-finger a word and it gets through.

My mom has been cleaning out one of the rooms in the house and she found this. This is one of my first piggy banks. Doesn’t it look like he has a Beatles haircut. He is also shiny from the flash. I love this pig, he has personality. And he probably has about 8 bucks in him at the moment.

So yes sometimes I have a hard time writing about things and some days I come home to find a shiny pig full of coins.

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.
