Exploring The Villages

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01455

We woke up this morning to the news that our flight home was cancelled. We were supposed to catch a flight home on Wednesday but Southwest has cancelled 5200 flights in the past few days. I had not been worried about our flight being cancelled because there was no significant weather happening at home. Apparently, that was not the major factor in the cancellations. I was able to rebook us on a flight on January 2nd instead.

After that news I was happy that we had donuts from Donut King to enjoy today. Here are the ones that we selected.

I had the lemon donut. It was delicious.

We did some more playing and exploring in the Villages today. We went on nature walkover by Mimi and Dano’s house. Then we played some shuffleboard and we had lunch at the marketplace which is the closest village square near them. Inside there were a few food options and we picked up pizza, some calamari and Andy had a hot dog. The pizza was fantastic and the calamari very tasty.

We enjoyed another family movie night tonight and introduced the kids to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Eva liked it at first and was even laughing out loud at a few things. Then she found it boring. I can’t blame her on that, there are some parts that drag a bit. Andy enjoyed it as well.

Because we are staying a few extra days I had to make sure that I had enough of my medications so I went to Leesburg to pick up some additional meds to tied me over until we returned. It wasn’t a bad ride but I had to make it twice because it was going to take some time to get the medication order together. In the end I was able to get the essentials needed.

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.
