Ice Cream For Dinner

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01787

This afternoon my Aunt and Uncle contacted Allison and let her know that they were up this way and wanted to know if we wanted to meet them at Bliss for some ice cream. they were on their way down to a hotel in Providence. While it has changed names over the years this hotel was one where my grandparents stayed on their honeymoon. My aunt had a photo of the receipt and their 2 night stay was $8.75 a night and the total was $17.50 with no tax. My grandparents went there for their 50th anniversary and the tax was almost more than their first stay there. Crazy.

ice cream sundae

We each got some decent sized ice cream sundaes and that was dinner for me. I got a cookie sundae with strawberries and Oreo ice cream. This was huge and almost finished it, luckily Andy was there to eat up what was left. They offered to finish Allison’s as well but we figured that Andy did not need a major stomach ache for eating several ice cream sundaes. It was really nice to see my aunt and Uncle. We took a photo at the new big mural out front. We can cross off ice cream at Bliss as one of our Christmas traditions completed.

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.
