I consider today the last day of summer. It’s Labor Day. Which honestly, I have no idea what that even means. I just know that I must pack away my large white leather purse until next year. Oh, and that I get the day off of work.

Considering it’s the last day of summer it seems perfectly fitting that I spent part of the day with a girlfriend named Summer. We went to brunch at a great well known restaurant up one of the canyons here in Salt Lake City. This restaurant, Ruth’s Diner, is known for it’s fabulous patio seating.

So here we are. Enjoying the most perfect patio. Having the most perfect Bloody Mary. With the most perfect company. And with perfectly hungry tummies. We were starving!

And neither of us can decide what we want to order. Thank god for Ruth’s menu options. They identify the favorites with a pink flamingo icon next to the menu item. We were both indecisive about two items, both listed as Ruth’s Diner favorites, so we decided to split them. And that’s what made brunch today the most perfect ever.

Having lunch with a friend who will split their food makes me smile.

Oh, and ignore the cheese on the hash browns. I like to go healthy and women totally need calcium and “healthy” fat. Trust me, Summer’s boyfriend is a trainer and so she totally knows what to order.

And this may be the end of summer but I guarantee it won’t be the end of hanging out with Summer. That girl is amazing. And fun. And super sweet.
