It’s Friday the 13th! Are you one that believes in the Helter Skelter that the day brings or live by the superstition of the black cat and walking under ladders as a bad thing? Me? I am all about the fun of blaming everything that goes wrong on the fact that it is Friday the 13th. I never got into scary movies, and I love that today is National Cocoa Day and National Violin Day. My Sweet Henry plays the Violin and not to brag, but he is very good at it. I just can’t think of anything better than getting a cup of hot cocoa and listening to my Sweet Henry make the strings sing. THAT is how I choose to think of Friday the 13th… it’s also Lost & Found Day! It’s the perfect day to do laundry because you won’t lose any socks!!!
