Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01014

Today was Eva’s actual birthday and I am glad that I had it off. We started the day off with Church and our annual birthday breakfast with dad. I took her to Mackie’s which was a last minute change for Eva. She had been saying that she wanted to do the Purple Rooster but changed her mind at the last second. We enjoyed a big breakfast and then headed to Lowes so that I could pick up a hacksaw for a project that we were working on later in the day. I took a quick nap because I worked the night before.

When I got up we went to the garage to work on Eva’s project. She is building a sword for her Halloween cosplay. She has almost every other part of her costume ready but tis is her first time building a sword using EVA Foam. We are just learning so after we cut everything and were about to put the pieces together with contact cement we realized that we had rubber cement which is not the same thing. So, we have to wait until the contact cement arrives.

We enjoyed a great dinner of Chinese food from House of Fortune. This was Eva’s choice as well as our evening movie which was Spider-Man: Far from Home. Eva has now completed all of the Marvel movies. She can move on to the Marvel TV shows. We had a very nice day celebrating Eva’s birthday.

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.
