A Break From The Heat On Cape Cod

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01316

We are staying on the Cape for a few days. We came down just in time for the rain and a much needed break from the heat. There was a pretty severe thunderstorm happening and the temp did lower a bit but the amount of rain overall was quite low. We’ve been in drought conditions for a few weeks now.

We had a very nice dinner tonight. Tara and Erik were there along with Shelby and the cousins. We had steak and swordfish and some lobster salad. This was in place of our nearly yearly trip to The Flying Bridge. We had a really nice dinner at the house, though. It was good to have almost everyone there. Dad and I grilled and we cleared out a lot of things from the freezer. Some didn’t quite work, like the buffalo short ribs. Those needed much more preparation that he had time for and because of that they were pretty much inedible. They would have worked for buffalo jerky if you wanted to chew on it for a good long time.

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.
