A Visit With Grandma and Some Captain Baker’s Donuts ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01200

Today Andy, Tara dad and I went to Harwich to visit Grandma Bennett. Along the way we stopped at Marathon sports so dad could get some new sneakers. We also stopped at Captain Baker’s Donuts so that we could get a bunch of Easter themed donuts. We went to Captain Baker’s last Summer and it was an amazing place with fantastic donuts.

Today Andy made his own donut a Chocolate cake donut with maple glaze bacon and caramel drizzle. It looked amazing except for maple, I’m not a fan. I got a few of the Glazed and Confused donuts. What I did not know until they were done making them was that the yellow drizzle was banana. I hate banana. Luckily, it was not a overpowering taste and when I ate the donut I could not taste banana at all. I also got a couple of other donuts to bring home and one for Grandma and one for Dad plus some gluten-free ones for Tara and my mom.

We took the donuts to Grandma’s house and ate them there. Grandma was so happy to see us. It has been a while since we’ve been able to go for a visit. Grandma could not believe how tall Andy has gotten. He’s nearly taller than her at this point.

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.
