Well, not exactly.... I had a migraine, fell asleep at suppertime and didn't wake up until the alarm went off this AM! I feel kinda bad about it actually.... Toad told me he was calling out to me in the middle of the night, and I didn't answer him! Poor little thing with no Mama to come comfort at his call! Luckily, his older brother came to his rescue - I am so grateful for the both of them :-)
There is a little bit of everything for everyone this weekend:
- The Downhome Lifestyle Expo starts tonight at the Glacier and runs through Sunday. They promise lots of activities and booths for all ages, including "Newfoundland's first indoor zipline"! For more details, visit www.downhomeexpo.com - tickets are available at the door.
