Breakfast Shop Cutaway

This Lego creation is of a breakfast shop cutaway. It might look like it's not finished, but when I build complete buildings I usually find that I am limited on space and do not have enough bricks of the right color. I feel that cutaways give me more creativity with less limitation.

This breakfast place is based off of breakfast shops that I have been to. This is just the counter area of the breakfast shop it also has a cooking area, and some storage space.

This is a picture of guys waiting to get some food. The person behind the counter is taking their orders giving these to the chef. The guy on the far right is holding a menu.

This picture shows the cooking area more clearly. On the far right there is a sink to probably just rinse off used plates and silverware before they go in the dishwasher, or to get water for the coffee machine. Next is the coffee machine it is quite large and only makes one cup o' joe at a time. After that there is a cutting board/counter for prepping food and then a grill and a skillet right next to it. Lastly there is a cash register, and there is a feature behind it in the storage room.

You can push a plate and that makes money come out of the cash register. In the cash register there is a place to swipe your credit card. In the storage room there is a crate with some plates and a bottle of olive oil. Even though I haven't shown it the dishwasher would also be in the storage room along with other cooking utensils.

This picture is sort of cut in half. The right half is the out side of the building, the left half is the inside, and the middle is the wall. On the inside half you can see where employees can walk through the kitchen area and access the counter, farther along there would probably be a door to the storage room and on the other side there would be access to the front door and waiting room.

This is the outside, you might have noticed the inside floor is black suggesting that it is maybe black tile and on the outside beside the paved walkway their is the asphalt road. The outside wall of the building looks kind of crazy but is also supposed to look artistic. The multi-colored glass gives it an original feel and the sidewalk is a combination of flat and bumpy Lego pieces. There also may be a mural on the dark gray wall, you can see the ventilation system and an air vent on the roof.

Perhaps this blog post has made you hungry for breakfast food and I hope you enjoyed.

Sincerely,

Tyler

Cache Humane Society News

Here is some exciting news to some of my closer readers.

Now through to the end of July Cache Humane Society is having a special on micro-chipping due to all the fireworks. It is $25 and includes a lifetime registration, so there is no annual fee. Getting a microchip for your furry friend is a good idea no matter what time of year is is because collars easily fall off. Plus if an animal is microchipped then the pound/shelter is not allowed to put that animal down (for overcrowding reasons).

During the month of August all adoptions will include a brand new memory foam pet bed, and there are quite a few sponsored animals to adopt so if you are thinking about adoption now might be a good time to look.



For all of my not so close readers you can participate in this fundraiser too!

As it says on the flier you can either donate at the shelter, by mail, or on the shelter's website. This really is one of the most worthy causes you can donate to because every penny goes to help save an animal's life. If you can't donate don't worry there are other ways to help like volunteering at your local shelter or helping to spread the word about responsible pet ownership.































This is a link to a flier giving the full details to being a Cache Humane society Champion.
And... if you do this at the shelter you will get this awesome water bottle as a free gift :)

Thank you for all of your support! Make sure to hug your pet for me :)

What does Kamel pack for girl's camp?

I thought that since I will be leaving for girl's camp in a couple weeks that I could show you what I will be taking. Now I'm no camping expert, but I have been going to girl's camp for about 5 years now so I think that I have fine tuned what I need and what I really don't need to bring. Keep in mind though that everyone is different and has differing needs.

I'll start with the things I don't put inside my main bag, I will label these with duck tape and throw them in the trailer with the other stuff.

Camping chair

Sleeping Bag

This is actually a new sleeping bag so I have not tried it out yet. I love this bag because it has a brilliant zipper that you can unzip to let your feet out. I poke my feet out of the covers at home in my bed because I will get too hot otherwise (can anyone relate?). I also love the color of this bag and it has it's own cinch sack to store it in. I personally got my bag at Sportsman Warehouse but it is probably sold at other sporting goods stores.

Duffel Bag

The camping duffel bag I use is quite large, I usually only use this for a longer vacation or camping and will use a smaller one for over night trips. I like this one though because it has roller wheels and a pull out handle so you don't have to lug it around everywhere you go. This bag  also has a lot of outside pockets which is useful for camp, I will put littler things in them so that I don't have to dig through the main compartment. For example, if you really have to pee in the middle of the night you can quickly find a flash light and your hand sanitizer :)

olympia 33 inch rolling duffel bag

Inside the main compartment I have most of my clothes and bulkier items including:

lantern

This is mostly useful for getting ready for bed in a dark tent. For the most part camping activities will go late into the night, past sunset so this is a better alternative than having a flashlight between your teeth when your trying to change into your pjs :)

Something like this from Target should work.

beach towel
pillow
cinch sack
hoodie
jeans
t-shirts
socks
underwear
PJs
swimsuit
cover-up
watershoes (or flip flops)
shoes (these should be good for hiking and just kicking around camp)
plastic plate, cup, and spork
water bottles

At camp we will be swimming, if you aren't you won't be needing the swim suit or cover-up. However I would still take the beach towel in case you get wet or wash your hair (beach towels are better than regular towel because then you won't be as concerned about getting it dirty). I would also bring some flip flops, first because you never know if your other shoes will get wet/filthy and flip flops are easier to throw on if you're in a hurry. I will use the cinch sack mostly to have a little sack to take with me hiking for snacks and a water bottle.

toiletry bag

I also store this in the main compartment in my bag and will keep my most used items in here. I would also suggest that if you don't have a lot of pockets on your bag that you have  a couple of these types of bags to help organize extra little items so they don't get lost in the mess of all your clothes. There are literally hundreds of sizes and types of these kinds of bags, Target has lots of cute options.

                      

Inside this bag I will have:

small mirror
hair brush
hair comb
deoderant
chapstick
toothbrush
toothpaste
flossersListerine strips

                            

Small container for hair bobbles (ties, bobby pins, clear elastics, etc.)

I use a container similar to this

                            

In all of the pockets on my duffel I will have:

scriptures
sunscreen (a body spray and a face stick)

  

shampoo
conditioner
body soap
lotion

I put these in travel sized bottles. I also use a small spray bottle for a dispenser of Listerine mouthwash, which works as a delicious smelling insect repellent. You can buy different colors for differentiating products or I just used some cute patterned paper and wrapped the bottles.

 

chapstick  (I love Burt's Bees)

                                

hand sanitizer

I cannot tell you how many times having a spare hand sanitizer has saved me, you just can't depend on the port-a-potty's supply. Bath and Body Works always has a ton of fun scents to try.

                                

kleenex (there are lots of cute to-go packs)

facial towelettes (Neutrogena has many kinds for any skin type) 

          

Wet Ones 

These are good for wiping down your feet and arms if you feel especially grimy or just to "wash your hands".

                  

Flash light(s) w/ extra batteries 

(Target has a  Hello Kitty one!)

                       

bandanna
pocket knife
After BiteNeosporinband-aids 

They even have an adorable  R2-D2 style!

                       

Well I think that's everything that I will be packing this year. I hope this list will help you with your camping adventures, let me know if you think I'm missing anything pertinent in the comments :)

Psalm 9:9-10&12

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
12 ...he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

Psalm 9:9-10&12

Psalm 24:3-5

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Psalm 24:3-5

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down  in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalm 23
