Tomatoes and Bluetooth Speaker

We started growing our tomato plant back in December and I've blogged about it a few times since. Well, on Monday, one of the tomatoes was finally ready to eat! It was huge (I would say double in size of what a cherry tomato you could get in the store) and really tasty! I was excited because this tomato seemed as though it was never going to be ready. It was green for a good month. But now we have 7 more tomatoes growing, and at a faster rate. Hopefully our plant keeps doing well!

The second thing I am very happy about is our bluetooth speaker for our tablet. We watch a lot of recorded TV shows and movies on our tablet but most of the time, the volume just doesn't go high enough, especially when we are eating and crunching. We tried several different programs without much difference and we finally decided we just had to live with it. Then, this weekend, Menard's had the speakers on sale for 10 dollars. We decided it was cheap enough to try out because we were out of ideas. This speaker has been amazing!

It's small enough that it can fit just about anywhere and doesn't need to be all that close to the tablet. We put the tablet on our pouf and the speaker on an end table and it works out just fine. The speaker we chose (sorry I don't know specifics. I do know it's made by Sylvania but that's about it) has two speakers (in one device thing) and it has a pause button on top, which we love more than the average person probably would. We're kind of lazy so with the speaker right next to us, it's easier to pause than to get up to touch pause on the tablet itself.

This particular model also has a mic so you can hook it up with your phone and then your phone calls can be really loud too! I don't know when we would ever use this feature but David seemed excited about it.
