Stunning picture Jim. The colors jump right out at you! What camera do you use? Do you use a program to help with the results?

..coffee..

Thanks, Doug.
I use my cell phone camera and do a little editing with the default app that came on the phone. I try to bring the colors out then add a vignette.

Thanks!

my mornings ..

Friday:
hot shower w/Yardley Vanilla Buttercream bar soap
Maggard's Cherry Sandalwood Vanilla PSO
Schick Grip 3+ passes
Schick Super Stainless (1)
Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge soap in a warm mug
EverReady boar
Thayers Rose witch hazel
Pinaud Clubman Vanilla A/S


I was in a Dollar Tree store yesterday and noticed a couple of new (to me) Yardley bar soaps. The Vanilla Buttercream looked interesting so I grabbed a couple of bars. Once I got home I noticed in the fine print that it includes clove leaf oil but fortunately (for me) you can't really smell clove.

Not sure which Schick blade I'm using as I only have the cartridge and not the original package. The printing is green and on the back it lists factories in this order: Holland, Sweden, Venezuela, Canada, and USA.

Thank you Gary.

Thank you Doug. IT IS FRIDAY.
