A larger pot

 We received this coleus plant as a gift a few months ago.  At the time is was in a small pot.  It grew quickly and I realized we needed to repot it.  At Walmart I saw the 2 potential new pots pictured above.  The pretty patterned ceramic one was $20.  The inexpensive plastic one was under $5 including the saucer.  I decided on the inexpensive container and here you have it!  If it continues to grow (live) I may have to prune it or get a larger pot!

Moisturizing Cream and a Major Service Disruption

 I got this Cerave moisturizing cream from Costco for $19.99.  My sister recommends it as her dermatologist did too.  Apparently creams are more moisturizing than lotions because they don't have the added water that lotions do.  She says this one doesn't feel greasy and my other sister says it is good for face and body.

Early this past Saturday morning we woke up to no internet, cell phone, or TV.  Our major service provider had a disruption!  It was fixed by Sunday afternoon but this was a nationwide outage that hit the news.

On Saturday a lot of businesses were relying on cash only transactions.  My local bank uses another cell phone provider, as does Whole Foods.  They were functioning normally.

A friend told me they simply went to bed at 9 pm on Saturday night as there was nothing to do! 

How do you think you would fare without internet, phone, or TV?

How do you like your steak

 This is a handy chart on steak doneness.  I like mine medium rare but medium is also fine.  Some restaurants vary in how they handle medium rare, once I got one that was pretty much rare. 

How do you like your steak if you are a meat eater?   

Types of Mushrooms

 This is a very informative chart on the types of mushrooms.  White button and cremini seem to be very common at the grocery store.  I have been roasting them recently.

Friday Art - Landscape

 I did a landscape for Friday Art. It is inspired by an image that came up on my screensaver,  of Madeira Island Portugal.  It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  Linking to Gillena's Art For Fun Fridays.

Showing a portrait of one of my great nieces I did a few years ago for Nicole's Friday Face Off.

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Playing Hooky

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Playing Hooky' theme.  The 'gone fishing' idea immediately came to mind.  Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in permanent marker.
