Hi Pegi, good to see you, haven't seen you for awhile. I found the salsa bowls over in the food department. But originally they were in the decorations department. Our store isn't very big, so I just walked up and down each isle, looking for ideas.
Still love that puppy face in your avatar. Big Grin

That is my Mandy who really doesn't look much like that any more. I think she has grown into her ears. Rolling on the floor laughing I have pictures to put in computer and I'm sure I have some more of them now that she has grown. I'm always lurking around even though I don't always post. I really need to find those salsa bowls, dollar tree store by us isn't very big either and I would spend more time looking around if DH wasn't always waiting on me. He reminds me how much time I spend in a store, well he spends a lot of time in auto parts stores too so we are even. Do you know how hard it is to get a root bound Mother-in-law's tongue out of a pot?? I ended up with a knife and just sliced through the roots, more roots than soil. I now have it out and will repot them. I now have a nice blue ceramic pot to put a different plant in. Was going to spend most of my time today out in back with the plants, but always have to come in for a break. Oh, to have the energy of youth again!!! Rolling on the floor laughing

I agree Wouldn't that be wonderful to have all this desire and knowledge, but a much younger body. Whistling

Give Miss Mandy a hug from me. Lovey dubby

Marilyn, I looked at the sedum that I sprinkled on the grit in one of the pots. It is Sedum dasyphyllum. Fascinating small leafed sedum.

It is rather hairy, the photo isn't very good so you can't really tell. And they can get quite pink colored.
There are a number of S. dasyphyllum.
