Random 5 for Labor day ~ here we go!
1 ) Years ago my cousin had a summer job at an ice-cream parlor. I spent the night with her to help eat at the shoppe. We made up every concoction possible, ate gobs of ice cream, butterscotch, hot fudge, nuts and whipped cream. I recently realized that I don’t crave ice cream ~ pretty sure that gluttonous memory is why.
Remember?
2 ) Labor Day. The end of summer as we know it ~ and leaves here are already turning. But wait – here’s the BEST news – Honey-Crisp apples are nearly ready!! Oh the joy cannot be contained! You can still buy some of last year’s apples for $5.00/lb — but soon the orchards near me will sell FRESH apples (bumper Michigan crop this year!) -I can get a dozen for ~$7.00 and youngest boy and I will gobble them down like iced cream!
3 ) Speaking of youngest boy, he has a girlfriend and the girlfriend has a dog named Morty. I like her already. And isn’t that the greatest name? Apparently Morty likes busting free from the confines of the kennel; the kid has since nicknamed him “The great Mordini.” Ha ha ha.
who can resist? Not I.
4 ) I love Fall. Apples. Leaves. Bright sunny days. Cool, crisp nights. I. Love. Fall! ❤
5) Hubbs and I both took tomorrow off ! I’m planning on sleeping in followed by coffee & a lazy brunch then a massage and whatever else I feel like doing – or not !! Whoo Hoo!
No stress, no dress code!
What’s your Random 5 looking like today? Ever over-do it on a food you love? What happened? Are you seeing signs of Fall where you are? What’s the last kind thing you did for yourself? Happy Labor Day everyone!
Happy Labor Day! I actually just posted some pictures from around my place, with the feeling of fall coming on too. I love apple season and still have fond memories of going apple picking in college and then making apple pies, apple sauce, and eating fresh apples. Mmm!
Apples – yum yum yum! MJ
Oh, I overdid it on raisins. And milk. Can’t tolerate either of them these days! Is Morty short for Mortimer? Enjoy your day off!
ha ha – raisins and milk, I don’t eat either myself!! Mortimer it is 🙂 MJ
I too love apples, Fall, and the cooler weather. Love your pictures! Enjoy your free day!!
It is cool here again today and I am opening windows -oooh ahh!! MJ
I was married on Labor Day weekend so we celebrate our anniversary usually taking a drive to find a new antique place, or go out to eat somewhere. This year was not spent anywhere but home. We take advantage of an extra day to do a home improvement project. This year was putting barn wood up on my living room wall. Now that is done. Onto grilling chicken breasts to top my salad for dinner. I love eating early on weekends then we can snack in the evening…
Happy belated anniversary 🙂 MJ
Laughing. So been there on #1 with Bacon, Gin and butterscotch. All separately of course. 😀
Thank goodness it was separately – together could have been a really bad combo!! Laughing!! MJ
Oooh…I love the Great Mordini!
you and me both. That kid cracks me up!
