Duh Christine

 So I opted to upgrade to a new Walmart credit card offering more perks, with no annual fee.  It promised a smooth transition to the new card and it was.  So I login to my online account to update it with the new card information but it didn't seem to allow me to make edits.  So I call customer service to get help.  She said my card had already been updated and so it had!  I was trying to update it without realizing it was already my new card number! Duh Christine.  I am pretty sure it was the same voice that helped me last month with another 'duh' moment.

Another thing I have to watch out for are fake videos before I go sharing them. If it seems too good to be true it probably is.  There is a fake Chinese glass ad that claims it was their glass that couldn't be smashed in that France Louis Vuitton store. Luckily my sister alerted me to that.

Friday Art - Simple Portrait

 

Welcome to Friday Art!

This is just a simple portrait ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil.  This is my first drawing I am showing that I did since my cataract surgery.  My good left eye is still not fine tuned although the doctor had said I was reading 20/20. I did my best.

Lobster Dinner Celebration

 

Last month we went to Fishman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant.  Daughter L got a big raise at work and chose this place to celebrate.  They will show you the lobsters they are going to cook for you, having approved the sizes.  Then you get these lobster towers as pictured above.

Grandson C also had a good time.  Husband M would take him outside for little walks in between courses and they enjoyed looking at the sunset.  Grandson C would copy him and say 'wow!'.  He is 17 months now.

Paris Baguette

 

While at the clinic for my recent eye surgery we were looking for a place nearby to grab coffee and a snack.  On Bloor Street we found Paris Baguette.  It is a worldwide chain and we decided to try it. It is a Korean chain, the 'Paris' name might be misleading.  It has a large array of sandwiches and desserts, on the pricy side.  Husband M enjoyed the latte and a croissant with a sausage inside.  I tried the curry croquet, it was ok.

Hey It's Sunday and SITAR- Nautical Themed Picture Frame

 

Welcome to Gillena's Hey It's Sunday  and to Nicole's SITAR!

I did a hand painted nautical themed picture frame for you in acrylic. My friend S had given me a few of these frames and suggested this theme.  Both husband M and S thought the frame should've been a bit more full, more blue, more seagulls for example, but my style is minimalist!

And welcome to November!  Brr!
