...5 little things Friday...

...just five little random things making me happy this Friday...

...Mom asked before she left her house if there was anything she could bring me...

...and I said...well...if you have any apples...I'd like a few...

...these apples are from a tree that Daddy got from his grandmother's farmstead...I'm pretty sure it's one of a kind...I've never tasted apples like these...and they're perfect for EVERYTHING...eating fresh...pies...applesauce...

...and also drying...

...Mom also brought me a bag of dried apples...just because she's all AWESOME like that...

...and in the same vein of Birthday goodness...I got my last 'Garbage Cookie' out of the freezer...

...wasn't it sweet of my Sissie to wrap them individually for the freezer like that...they lasted a long time rationed out one a day like that...

...we had to get a new toaster...so far I like him pretty well...but I haven't anthropomorphized him yet...

...our previous toaster stopped heating in the center...I watched several YouTube videos about fixing it...and without a replacement panel it seemed pretty impossible...

...so for a while we were just toasting one side and turning it around and toasting the other...and the Man did all the Consumer Reports research to find a replacement...

...so it's nice to just be able to push a button again...

...and (probably) my last free watermelon of the season...and it's one of the huge old timey long watermelons that I remember from my youth...

...and since I'm the only one here who eats watermelon...I just cut it in half and ate it like it was a bowl......and I still have another half in the fridge...

...and finally...I just got this little package in the mail...(from Amazon...naturally)...for a new (to me) vegan egg product that I'd not tried before...it's very cute in it's little 'egg' carton...and the reviews were good...so...I'll let you know...

...Your turn...what's making you happy right now?...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your weekend!
