Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02021 Eva is bound for Savannah Georgia today with her Auntie Tara and Uncle Erik. They set Eva up with a week at Savannah College of Art and Design. She’ll be there studying photography and textiles for the week. This is her first sleep away experience where she’ll have a roommate and will be all on her own. Granted, Tara and Erik will be 4 miles down the road but Eva will be on her own in the program. I’m very excited for her. I was worried that her flight would be cancelled after everything that happened yesterday with the Microsoft outage but her flight was delayed a few ..read more

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02020 Today was the last day of Science School for 2024. Andy had a fantastic time in ichthyology and wants to do that one again. There was an open house during the last 15 minutes of class. There wasn’t much for us to see but we went to see anyway. Mom and Dad went, too. andy showed us the fish they caught and the new fishing poles that they used during the session. I took Andy home right after class was over. I had to get back and try to get some sleep. We stopped off at McDonald’s to get some lunch and then got home to find that the road was closed because the gas line was ..read more

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02019 Today was our last full day on The Cape. Those three weeks flew by. We enjoyed some beach time early in the day with my Aunt and cousins. Aunt Cindy and Uncle Wayne came down for a few hours with their grandkids, my cousin Erin’s kids and we played with them at home and over at the beach. I gave Danny some old lego like bricks that I had from when I was really little. He loved them and created some cool stuff with them. Allison and I cleaned out our closet and had a bunch of stuff for Savers and that was going to go there but I gave it to Danny instead. He’s a nut about ..read more

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02018 We got Mom and Dad a slide scanner for their anniversary. They have a bunch of old slides and this would be a great project to get them all digitized to keep. Many of the slides are from our great-uncle Richard. He took so many photos. My parents have all of them and so the slide scanner will be very useful to help them clear things out. Then they can get rid of the physical slides that are taking up space. The slide scanner is hooked up to Dad’s new computer. That arrived today and I got everything set up so that he can start using it right away. I hope I didn’t miss a ..read more

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02017 Tonight we went to a Falmouth Commodores Game. Well, I went with Dad, Andy, Dylan and Kylie. Allison and Eva went with Tara, shelby and Mom to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. Mom and Shelby swung by the game later but Allison, eva and Tara went home. We were hosted at the game by a local real estate group that we know from back in North Attleboro. They provided us with sandwiches, chips, drinks and some snacks to eat while we enjoyed the game. The kids ate quickly and then went off to play. they were back quickly asking if they could go to Dairy Queen across the street ..read more

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02015 Andy and I went to the Falmouth Car show today. My dad is the president of the club and he was there setting things up and cleaning up afterwards. We popped over for a little time at the show. We had lunch from the food truck there. Good hot dogs, thanks’ dad. Then I took Andy to The Bridge for ice cream Nor’Easters. That is The Bridge’s fancy name for a blizzard like ice cream treat. I got heath and Andy did raspberry sauce and cherries. Andy’s tastes are getting even more varied these days ..read more

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02010 This morning Allison and I went for a walk along Great Bay. We did about a mile and then turned around. A Lot of the pathway is washed out at this point. I have not seen any washed out areas myself, I just know about them because we can’t get to them because there are blocks to keep people from walking on them. I’m not sure when it happened but it stinks because that was our favorite place to walk while here on The Cape. It is so pretty along that walk. I noticed that there were some cranes in the water and there were kayaks on shore and it looked very Cape Cod so I sto ..read more

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02009 We were at the beach this afternoon and I noticed a bird that did not look familiar. It looked like a duck but the coloring was wrong. It had the coloring of a seagull but was not moving about like a seagull at all. It ended up that this was a common eider which is sort of a sea duck. We crept over to it to take some photos and not disturb it. While we were watching it a guy was running along doing his workout on the beach. He must work out on the beach all the time because he has definitely white but his skin color was a deep mahogany color like he’d been in the sun si ..read more

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02008 About a month ago I picked up this LEGO Burger Truck to build some night when I had downtime at work. I was home tonight and completed the work on a project so I took a little time and built the truck. It was a pretty simple build in two parts. The truck itself and the Burger stand that can either go on the truck or be offloaded from the truck to a stationary place. It would be pretty cool to have a food truck like that serving burgers all over the place. Especially one that looks like a burger. That would really attract people to the truck ..read more

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02007 I was in Target today and saw that they had this Optimus Prime playset on clearance. It is a micro machines playset and it comes with a Tracks car to use in the playset. I’d love to pick up a few more of these to add to my Transformers collection. I know that they also have a bumblebee playset on clearance but it is still a bit high for my liking. It does look good, though. I might be able to find a few more of the cars on clearance online. The guy who used to do the Micro Machines commercials was the voice of the Transformer Blurr in the show and movie so this comes fu ..read more
