Rock Climbing and Tie-Dying

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01636

Today I took Andy to Rock Spot for some climbing and to a Tie-Dye event. Andy took one of their new shirts with them to tie dye. This tie-dye event had a much better tie-dye outcome than the ABD one. Much more ink, someone who knew exactly how to get the perfect spiral and we were basically the only ones there. I should have brought my ABD shirt so I could have fixed it.

Andy had fun and also did some climbing. Andy likes to have a challenge so they decided that they would climb one wall using only animal shaped holds. This proved difficult but in the end Andy did make it up the wall. Of course, they did tire themselves out and we didn’t stay and climb all that long. It is okay, some climbing is all that Andy needed. I know Andy is going to miss it this Summer and can’t wait to start back up in the Fall.

My Black Belt Certificate was expertly framed by my cousin’s shop, The Preservation Framer. It was completed and Allison picked it up for me. I hung it on the all today and I’m very impressed with how it came out. So happy to have it hanging in my office.

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.
