Burial Roses

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01151

These are some of the roses that were on the flower arrangement on Grandpa Rick’s Casket. We had the burial ceremony today at the National Cometary in Bourne. Grandpa Rick was buried with military honors. There was an honor guard there who folded up the flag that was on the casket and gave it to my Mom, Uncle and Aunt. It was snowing and sleeting all over the place but luckily the outdoor shelter kept us dry. My mother spoke at the burial and read some scripture. Uncle Jim placed his phone out with Grandpa Singing My Way. Grandpa Rick was a singer in his later years. He ran a karaoke business and sang so many songs. My Way was one of his favorites and that was used many times over the past few days.

because of the snow and sleet we stayed overnight. This gave us some time to visit with Mom and Dad and Uncle Jim. We watched a movie together and had Paul’s Pizza for dinner. It was nice to stay and relax.

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.
