When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Ways of seniors to Water their Garden by Themselves



Due to my mom being a senior citizen and having no assistance when she is doing her gardening in her terrace. I asked my mom does she want to use a watering kettle to water her plants rather than going back and forth getting water in her home.

My mom has no access of using a hose due she is living in a condominium.

I asked my mom what she has been using to water her plants. My mom said she just goes back and forth using a tabu (large cup).

I went ahead and started giving my options how she doesn't need to go repeat enter her home and going to her terrace to get water.

My mom had two choices to either use a watering kettle or bucket that had a lid to leave in her terrace. 

I realize my mom is old and she won't be able to carry a heavy amount of water to bring back and forth. If my mom had a bucket to put her water and leave it in her terrace it seems easier to do it this way.

I was able to find a seller to get the needs of my mom for her gardening that she loves to do during her pandemic. The size was just right for her age to be not carrying a heavy load of water away to prevent her returning back and forth to her home.

I was able to find a seller from Online Shopee Philippines who was selling something my mom had in mind to make everything easier on her behalf from Lucas Houseware Collection for PHP 99.00 ($1.98) small Kendi bucket with lid color red not including shipping and handling.

We've decided to pick a color bucket a way to see it right away.

You reach a certain age your eye sight begin to change and to make it readable in the eyes of the senior citizen is to have a color they can identify what is in front of them.

Note:

I am not selling Kendal bucket or advertising for Lucas Houseware Collection just needed it for my mom's gardening needs.
