Mother’s Day 2020

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00496

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Around here Allison had a nice day that started off with breakfast made by Andy plus some Dunkin Donuts Coffee. I’ll go there if it is a special occasion because my choice is always Honey Dew and Allison’s first choice is always Dunkin. So, for Mother’s Day I figured that Dunkin would be the better choice. The kids gave Allison some very nice cards. She went with them on a long walk today while I slept.

When I woke up I grilled up some very tasty steaks for dinner. I had picked them up over at the Chartley Country Store on Friday. I am very pleased with the new grill. The whole searing burner is perfect. One minute on that for each side and then a couple of minutes per side on the regular burners and we had some perfectly grilled steaks. After dinner the kids made Allison an ice cream sundae and Andy did a hand and foot massage. I’m not sure how relaxing that was.

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.
