How I spend my Days - March

 

Just your classic gamer pose, slouched over, playing video games, with some drinks by your side.

Me and the BearBear - February

 

She is soooo cute and cuddly!

You just want to cuddle here and carry her everywhere 

17th Birthday Dinner - February

 

We checked out a new place, themed like a Tiki Bar, for my birthday dinner.

With Flaming Drinks

And Tiki-men

And some good Mocktails for me! 

And cute paper umbrellas to play with!

Which I found fascinating!
 

And then a final birthday dessert with a candle to blow out, to end the day.

17th Birthday Gaming and Cookie Cake - February

 

So, to enjoy my Birthday, we're playing one of my favorite board games - Root!

Let's see if I can get a win today.

Well even if I lost at Root, I still got some cookie cake!

17th Birthday Morning - February

 

I LOVE that my birthday begins with a candle in a blueberry muffin!

It allows you to contemplate how the last year went, and how the next one is going to go. 

And then it's time to blow the candle out

** poof ** 

And now it's time to eat it

Hanging on the Couch - February

 

Just a lazy Saturday, hanging on on the couch, watching some videos on my phone.

Hi Dad... 

RBTL Show Night - February

 

As usually on a show night, we start off with Dinner

Then we grabbed a dessert snack before the show. 

And I even got some putting practice in.

Foggy Night Driving - February

Twas a bit foggy on this night drive home from D&D.  But I was able to make it without an issue, even when the visibility was almost nothing.

 I mean it is a beautiful picture of fog after you get home to enjoy it!

Eastman House with Booka - February

 

We're here today at Eastman House, to see the flowers, and we brought Booka

Ready to look at the flowers Booka? 

Dad always needs to get a picture of Me, with the Elephant head, and the flowers

 The dining room is setup nicely!

This specific art installation just doesn't make much sense.

I mean just look at this, trying to take pieces of things and make them into others, but then named simply

And this set was just pages dog-eared over, and then made into these prints. Modern Art is just not my thing.

Snow Hiking Watkins Glen

 

Well, since we had a couple of hours to kill before we could pick up our glass work items from the Corning Museum of Glass, we decided to brave the ZERO DEGREE F windchill, and check out Watkins Glen.

And Dad made us climb down some treacherous stairs, to get to the high gorge trail. 

I mean it was pretty out there. 

So we got a good picture in the Snow, with the woods behind us.

 Okay time to head back to the car, get warm, and get our fused glass!

Failure at the Robotics Competition - February

 

So we came down to Corning the day before, to avoid having to get up at 5:30am and drive here.  The rest of my robotics team had a plan to get a carpool down here doing.

Yeah.... They didn't make it, and left me hanging.. And I didn't even have the robot (or I would have gone solo).
 

Axe Throwing and Dinner - End of January

 

We found a dinner place, that also had an upstairs Axe Throwing lounge. 

So we got to have some fun throwing the hand held axe here.

I seemed to have really good aim at this! 

This is a blast, throwing and axe, and playing some games with it.

Like in this one, I've been hitting the high values targets more then Mom or Dad. 

Here ya go Dad, good luck!

Then we went and had a great dinner at this place.  Definitely a place to go back to.

Corning Museum of Glass - Glass fusion - End of January

Now the waiting for our time slot to approach for doing some glass fusion work. 

I decided to make a clock, so I'm trying to get some of these piece to the right size and shape I want.

You got to use the glass breakers, carefully, to get it to work right.

I think I've got it how I want.

Check out our final pieces, ready to go into the oven to be fused.
