Little Library Open for Business ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00613

While Eva was on the Cape with my parents for an extra week she and my dad built a tiny free library. On our last visit to the Cape a few weeks ago Eva finished painting the library. While we were home Dad put the finishing touches on the library and got a 4X4 stake to be able to put it into the ground. Today the library was installed.

We’re on the Cape for the Labor Day Weekend. I think this is the first Labor Day Weekend in a very long time that we have been down. I completely forgot how busy it would be traffic-wise. We were in a few miles and about 40 minutes of traffic before the Bourne Bridge. But, we got down and were able to chill out and relax a bit. We did not bother with the beach today because it was so late in the day but the library is filled and installed and looks fantastic. People have already come to check it out.

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.
