Work From Home Day ...

My Work Partner

Photo-A-Day #678

Today I worked from home and I was using my laptop on the old desk for part of the day. It was very cold yesterday and our front room gets plenty of sun so it is very warm. I moved there for the afternoon. Oliver decided that he wanted to be some place near me so he hung out in one of the cubbies and watched me as I worked. I sometimes wonder what these cats think about the things that Allison and I do each day. Anyway, I know I have had a lot of Cat pictures lately but with cats as cute as ours it is hard to resist.

Yesterday I also completed capturing the video from our wedding. I used Microsoft Movie maker to take the video off the camera and then save it into 10, 15 minute files. I will then take the files, and work my magic with Adobe Premiere, adding sound, removing sound, adding images, removing some of the images and then burning it all to DVD. We are hoping I finish this sometime before the second anniversary. My grandmother taped the wedding from the altar and it looks really good.

Tonight we had my Cousin Matt and his wife Annie and their son Keith over for dinner. Matt is probably one of the most artistic people in our family, from music to all things graphic art, painting, drawing. Annie has the job of my dreams, she is working for Hasbro and she’s taking me to the company store next week! So on next Tuesday I’m having lunch at Hasbro and my Photo-A-Day may be Transformers related… Keith is a mass of energy. He and I played with my transformers and with the remote controlled car that has an MP3 player in it. Then we played with some Cars toys. He has a bunch of them as well. This picture is of the living room after playing with all the toys. Everyone was downstairs visiting my Mom. I came back upstairs to check out my Dad’s flight status and Oliver and Duncan were investigating the room, and the leftovers.

My Dad had one of my travel days yesterday. Because of all of the flight cancellations in the past week the airlines have been backed up and this affected Dad’s travel. We phoned each other all day. I was to pick him up at the PVD airport and around 10:00 Dad was still in Baltimore. He caught up with an old friend on the same flight so he ended up with a ride home instead of me picking him up. So that worked out. I have no idea when he actually got in however. He said he can now understand what I go through on a bi-weekly basis.

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...

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. 

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.
