Fourth on the Porch

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01280

Today was the Fourth of July and it was a really nice day. We had the local parade that Andy and Allison participated in. I was out for a ride with my Dad to see just how busy things were in the area and they were quite busy. Falmouth Heights got swarmed by people. We did end up going to the beach at some point only because Uncle Erik put out chairs at an obscene time of morning. It was crowded there. Fourth of July Beach Goers are like nothing else. They bring everything with them and take up so much room for their little groups. It was a bit crazy. We stayed at the beach for a little while and then came home. We had a cook out and Mom got to come out to the back porch to participate. She’s had knee surgery and is recovering.

speaking of porches we collectively decided that going to the beach with the crowds there was not going to be enjoyable so we watched the fireworks from our porch and they were really good right from where we were. I took a bunch of photos trying to capture the little flag and the fireworks and the crowd at the same time. I think this one came out the best.

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.
