Break Out the Fire Pit

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01203

Tonight after dinner Andy wanted to use the Fire Pit to make S’mores. the fire pit had not been lit since before the winter and the flames were quite low. I think there was a bunch of water inside that needed to burn off or maybe the gas was low. Either way it did not appear to be working that well. I probably should have covered that instead of the table and chairs all Winter. I’m sure it will get plenty more use this year.

We came home from the Cape today. I took Eva with me and Andy rode with Allison. I downloaded the audio book of Ready Player One and started it as soon as we got in the car. Eva and I listened to it on the ride home and when we got to our exit we’d finished the prologue and the first chapter. She asked if this was my plan now to get her to like things. Trap her in a place she could not escape and just make her listen. She really liked the start of the book as I expected she would. I hope that she continues on and listens to the rest of it.

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.
