Thai Rolled Ice Cream and iPad Purchase

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01302

Before we picked Andy up at Cooking Camp we stopped at the Providence Place Mall. We were there for a couple of reasons. First off we were checking on Andy’s iPad to see why it didn’t charge properly. Apparently his iPad had a “wicked Bend” to it. Our genius, Sam, told us. Then they showed us the iPad and we could see how there was a bend to it. Only Andy. That was why the charging on it was so wonky. Well, that stinks. But since Eva was getting a brand new iPad she graciously decided that Andy could have her old one which was the same model as his.

We brought along our old iPad minis and Allison’s old iPhone figuring that maybe we’d be able to trade them in for some money. No such luck. The iPad minis were too old and the iPhone had a cracked screen and was too old. So we came home with the brand new iPad and a case/keyboard for Eva. Luckily we mentioned that it was for school and she needed one because the school required it. Our apple sales person was able to get us a nice $150 discount and a $100 gift card so we saved some money on the transaction. Not a lot in the grand scheme of things because we got Eva the iPad Air which was a step up from the base iPad.

We still had some time to kill before picking up Andy so we enjoyed some Thai Rolled Ice Cream from Freezing Point. I had had it once before but this was a treat for Allison and Eva because they had never had it before. We got a cookies and cream and a strawberry one. Both were delicious. then we went and picked up Andy and he told us all about his day at camp which was also a good one. He is so excited for each day’s adventure.

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.
