Coffee Promotion

McDonalds restaurants were promoting free small coffees all last week in Canada.  Here is mine, teamed with a slice of their new lemon loaf.  It is a really rich type of pound cake, and this is just half of the slice.  It was really crowded there all that week with everyone lining up for free coffees.  There was an impact to regular customers but it must be good for business because McDonald's runs this promotion twice a year.

McDonald's is now offering burgers made to your preference.  This family was sitting just behind me and each of them had burgers individually tailored to them. 

Crabapples

It's the time of year when you notice all the fruit on the trees are ripening.  I noticed these crabapples lying on a boulder and thought the scene looked very artistic, what do you think?  Good enough to paint, beautiful texture on the rocks!

McDonald's Canada has free coffee all this week until Sunday. I found out when I was at the grocery store and some McDonald's employees were walking through the parking lot with a large tray filled with small coffees. They asked me if I wanted one and then asked if they could have a photo taken with me. The guy said 'Don't worry, it's for internal use only'. I was already imagining my photo appearing in the local newspaper! Do you know that seniors over 60 get a 10% discount at McDonald's (well, the coffee anyway).
