High Five for Friday

1. I had some delicious fresh apples which found their way into a cake and bread. The recipes I used were great and I will be using them again. You can find them here and here.

2. Bought some fun new fabric that is going to be made into something for ME! 

3. Back in June I showed you my new patio.  I wrote a review on Target's website for the Solar Bubble String Lights. The directions weren't quite accurate and I commented to help others through the struggles I was having.  Well, that little review I wrote apparently entered me into the Target Product Review Sweepstakes. I had no idea of this until I WON! Yes, I won a $500 gift card to Target! (& I tested the card out and it is legit!)

4.  It is the last day of August, which in my book basically means the last day of Summer. I will be taking down my Summer decor including these blocks and putting up FALL DECORATIONS!!!!!

5. Every year my hometown has a 48 hour softball marathon. The tournament profit goes directly into the ball association fund and keeps costs as low as possible for participating children the next season. It is one of my favorite events of the year. The tournament and I share a special bond...we have both been around for 26 years. Some years it is hot as hell, other years freezing, maybe rainy, usually foggy in the mornings, but one thing it always is is FUN!

Have a fabulous 3 day weekend, but link up with FMGD first!!
