away for the weekend: random five - misty mountain and sunshine

random five - misty mountain and sunshine

I do believe - the colors have been spectacular this year


even shrouded in mist.

A couple of weeks ago, I was nominated for a Sunshine Award by a phenomenal blogger - 
I love visiting Sarah's blog, where she and her paisley rain boots
(well, when weather calls for them)
explore the hidden and not-so-hidden back roads of Michigan.
She has an artistic flair for seeing places and objects from a different angle and capturing them with her camera. If you've never visited before - click on over!

So - for this week's random five, I've chosen five of Sarah's questions to answer.

1) Favorite Movie? - When Harry Met Sally (corny, I know...)

2) Coffee or Tea? - Both! Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon

3) Favorite Weekend Activity? - going AWAY, of course :-)

4) What decade would you have most liked to have lived in? - the next five or ten (life is much too short!)

5) Thing that you are most proud of accomplishing this year? - oh boy, I'm coming up blank and it's October already. May I have an extension, please?

That's it for me this week. I'd love to hear from you - feel free to play along.
And as always - have a great weekend!

I'm joining Nancy for Random Five Friday

    Nice fall colours in the background. PS: When Harry Met Sally is not corny.

    I think it is more that you have too many things to be proud of accomplishing this year that you can't pick just one. Thank you for the lovely words. We are fellow explorers :)

    Simply Stunning photo today. The colors back there are awesome.
    Fun reading your random facts about yourself. - We Harry Met Sally is a funny movie. I suppose most notably for the, "I'll Have What She's Having." line!
    I like both Coffee and Tea as well.

    Not so corny, I also like When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail and An Affair to Remember . . . good romances are never out of style. Looking forward to our fall colors, which hit here around Thanksgiving.
