Five on Friday - September 24, 2021

Happy Friday!  So glad you stopped by today to see the five things I'm sharing with you.  Let's get right to it ~

1.  Dear Evan Hansen

We've seen the previews for Dear Evan Hansen and I knew immediately it was going on my list of movies to see.  It opens today and I'm hoping we can get to the theater soon.  Bring your tissues!  Here's the synopsis ~

Evan Hansen is an anxious, isolated high-school student who's aching for understanding and belonging amid the chaos and cruelty of the social media age. He soon embarks on a journey of self-discovery when a letter he wrote for a writing exercise falls into the hands of a grieving couple whose son took his own life.

2.  The Wish

Nicholas Sparks has a new book releasing on Tuesday.  The Wish promises to be another bestseller.  Here's the summary from Amazon ~

1996 was the year that changed everything for Maggie Dawes. Sent away at sixteen to live with an aunt she barely knew in Ocracoke, a remote village on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, she could think only of the friends and family she left behind . . . until she met Bryce Trickett, one of the few teenagers on the island. Handsome, genuine, and newly admitted to West Point, Bryce showed her how much there was to love about the wind-swept beach town—and introduced her to photography, a passion that would define the rest of her life.

By 2019, Maggie is a renowned travel photographer. She splits her time between running a successful gallery in New York and photographing remote locations around the world. But this year she is unexpectedly grounded over Christmas, struggling to come to terms with a sobering medical diagnosis. Increasingly dependent on a young assistant, she finds herself becoming close to him.

As they count down the last days of the season together, she begins to tell him the story of another Christmas, decades earlier—and the love that set her on a course she never could have imagined.

3.  Halloween Cozy Socks

Old Navy has the cutest Halloween cozy socks!  Their 3-pack is on sale for only $9.50.  I'm planning to make some Boo Bags for friends this year and a pair of these cozy socks will be a perfect filler.  Do you have someone that would love a pair?  Grab yours before they sell out HERE.

4.  Applebee's Spooky Sip Halloween Cocktails

Applebee's is adding to the Halloween fun this year by offering two spooky sip cocktails!  Pop in for a Dracula's Juice or a Tipsy Zombie.  Get either one for only $5!  Dracula's Juice is described as a "wildberry creation of a Patron Tequila margarita and Bacardi Superior daiquiri".  The Tipsy Zombie is made with Bacardi Superior, passion fruit, pineapple, cherry, lime, and melon liqueur and is topped with a gummy brain on its surface.  Don't forget - in some Applebee's you can even get them to go! 

5.  Hate it when this happens...

We have a big weekend ahead!  Today we're traveling to Memphis to attend our great-nephew's first birthday party.  We are so excited to be spending some time with Eric's side of the family!  Then Sunday night we're going to The Rolling Stones concert.  So glad to see live music coming back!  Pop in next week to hear all about it.
