Posted late due to ongoing bandwidth issues.
It all started a couple weeks back when I bought my latest holiday decor for the galley. I mentioned that in the Spring on Pi Day (copper advice) article. My Easter towel included a matching potholder. Well, I do not normally use them but it is pretty and I wanted to show it off a bit too.
Boats simply do not have much bulkhead (aka wall) space, and I am a nut for putting things away. I did not want to hide my Happy Easter bunny potholder so needed a solution.
For the most part I live without media influences. I do not know about stuff advertised on television because I have not owned one since 1993. One day I will share with you how that came about...
Those of you with cable TV probably know all about Command products. I did not until recently.
Part of the fun of shopping is actually looking at products and reading the blurbs on the packages. Last year I discovered a 3M line that suits my lifestyle and budget.

Best of all, the Commands
are idiot-proof. You may wonder how I can state such a thing
unequivocally. That is because I almost messed 'em up!
First I
wiped off the
bulkhead, then attach the hook to the red side after
removing backing paper. A minute later it is ready for use.

Side Note regarding Command products: The
upper right corner of each item tells you a weight it can
support. I have used the Velcro light weight strips for a
ceramic picture frame in my cabin with success. Just size the
product to your needs and you will be all set.
I am glad I have Command products aboard Seaweed. |

Right now is the season for popcorn and movies. Sometimes eating right out of the pan is okay too, especially when it is an excellent DVD. Let company be aboard and the bowls come out for good manners. But when alone? Well, I am not admitting 'nuttin.
Still, a potholder will work in lieu of a trivet and the popcorn pan cannot sit on the dinette table when I'm watching a movie, or a series. I just finished watching the Hallmark miniseries Dinotopia and can recommend it highly. I loved it...
That's an affiliate link but definitely read the blurbs about the show. If you like steam punk, Jules Verne, Professor Lupin of Harry Potter fame, and a wonderful librarian dinosaur named Zippo, well, this is a just a great movie. I am an old sci-fi fan (pre-1950's) and loved the DVD. I will be excite to watch Dinotopia (TV Miniseries) again.

Yes, I have a couple of the James Gurney books too.
He wrote and illustrated the phenomenon that became Dinotopia. |

It is just that there
is this
Kindle... and I confess my
head has been turned 180 degrees by the
little thing.
I love having the ability to read at will whenever I wish any number of books. It is one of my biggest pleasures in life afloat. Now I cannot imagine life without a Kindle -- nor do I wish to do so. I truly am blessed.
Anyway, were I to not put my popcorn in a bowl, I would definitely use the Easter potholder in lieu of a trivet. Mine is on the bulkhead right behind the stove and is convenient. Plus this is festive.
To you and yours, I wish you a happy Easter. Keep safe and remember to be thankful for all we do have. We truly are blessed. After all, we get a free trip around the sun each year.
Do you decorate for Easter?
Anything special planned for dinner? I haven't decided what to fix yet.
