Last Day of My 40’s

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01918

Today is the last day of my forties. Tomorrow I turn 50 and today is the last day I can work the shirt from my daily photo. I have actually been wearing it for 2 days at this point because I posted a photo similar to this one the other day for Facebook. That got a lot of activity.

This morning I went to a funeral for one of my high school friend’s older brother. I had not seen this friend in nearly 20 years. However, he saw me in the church and was glad that I was there. We talked for a while after the funeral and caught up a bit. Then Mom and Dad took me to lunch at Box Seats. We finished up there and then I went to pick up the kids and my parents went back to my house to get ready to watch the eclipse.

Allison was able to get home in time for us to watch the eclipse together in the back yard. It was cool but I hadn’t realized that we weren’t in the path of totality so it wasn’t spectacular like many other people travelled to see. But it was nice to go ahead and just relax on a nice sunny day and stare at the sun through our special glasses.

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.
