FRIDAY FAVORITES...CIAO BABY!

So, get this… Well first of all, Happy Friday… So I thought by logging off Instagram for 96 hours that Wednesday I would be able to post a sponsored post with a cute picture or two and while it posted on the feed ok, it didn’t take my caption, it wouldn’t allow me to reply to comments and I’m blocked in the same way again. I talked to several other bloggers and Instagrammer’s who are going through the same thing and it is beyond ridiculous! So, my frustration is beyond but at least Friday Favorites’s bring me some joy! AND I went up to Trader Joe’s yesterday and got some Fall Goodness!

Bonus
Aren’t these pictures amazing of our son and his sweet girlfriend? She has a friend who’s a photographer and uses her for practice, I’d say she’s downright amazing! There are so many good ones but here are a couple of my favorites.


And I’m going to brag on this one son of mine a little bit more because this was “his” week! He landed a fabulous job he was hoping for and just look how great his headshot turned out! Look at those beautiful white teeth, so glad he takes pride in his teeth, LOL!


1. Day Date
Last Saturday was one of the most glorious days of the year although super windy! We started off the day having pizza in an old train depot in a beach town in lower Michigan. I had a beautiful Key lime martini. Then we headed to another brewery with all outdoor seating where I got the most delicious mango blackberry hard cider slushy! Then it was on to the farmers market where I got Michigan peaches, heirloom tomatoes and assessed the mums, LOL! Still too hot to get them, I usually wait till the third weekend in September. Our last couple stops were a little bit of a disappointment for various reasons but mainly because of Covid, people not social distancing, areas that were just too crowded so back home we went and Mr. Nine helped me water my flowers. since I was blocked on Instagram, I just logged off and didn’t even do any stories and barely took any pictures and that’s OK, but I did miss getting a pic of the two of us!


2. Fall Find....White Metal Truck
Almost forgot that the last couple years, on my Fall Friday favorites, I’ve been doing a favorite Fall find each week. The cute little felt pumpkin garland last week was my first. This one, is probably one of my favorites of all time, just look at this white metal truck with the pink pumpkins! It’s going to go on a little black table on my front porch since this year, that’s going to be my color scheme out there. They have one almost identical with oranges at Kirkland's

Flowers
My flowers are still going incredibly strong, here’s one of the bubblegum petunias flowing over the rocks in the back. I have two more big sections like this. As long as it doesn’t frost, these flowers will go throughout the month of September into October.

  15. Love those photos of your son and his girlfriend and I am so happy for him that he landed a new fabulous job! That jumpsuit is super cute. I was thinking of taking a trip to Trader Joes Monday after my doctor's appointment that was supposed to be just down the road from one but they canceled it today. I'm not sad to not take the drive into the city since I can do all my pre-op stuff over the phone but I am a bit bummed not to have an excuse to check out TJ's!

  16. Instagram can be SO frustrating. I have to keep reminding myself that in the big scheme of things, it's not worth my frustration!!
