It's just about summer's end as the last summer holiday weekend approaches. We are starting to feel the first signs of Fall, with a crispness in the air and a cool breeze on the city streets. I don't mind. I have had a wonderful summer and did so many fun things with my family. I'm ready to welcome Fall and all of its bristly leaves, tall boots, warm beverages and pumpkiny goodness with open arms. This weekend, we'll be celebrating the end of summer with a party at my parents house, followed by some relaxation and maybe some fun around Jersey City if the weather cooperates! I'm changing things up a little for Five Things Friday and including even more 'Five Things' toward the bottom of this post. I hope you enjoy!
Have a truly wonderful and safe weekend!
