Ho Hum Weekend Round Up
Good Monday to you all. I hope you had a great weekend and are well rested and rarin' to go. We had a little bit of everything. Friday we were happy there was a new Project Fear to dive into. We found out Chelsea had a very scary birth over the weekend as well and she almost didn't make it. Thankfully her and the baby are still recovering. Very happy she and the newest little ghost hunter are coming through okay. Saturday we grabbed a regrettable lunch and while we were chatting over it talking about Grandma and the turmoil surrounding the death of her dad and how greed reared its ugly head, we got a very immediate and specific sign from her and started laughing.

He had enough potato to last us until Christmas last year. And I live in Newfoundland which has a VERY short growing season!
