Good day speakies!!!  The weekend is now upon us, so let's not waste any time indoors and go out and enjoy ourselves this week. Even though I work on the weekends I am going to try and take my own advice and enjoy the time I have. So, have a great weekend and stay safe. Don't forget to stop on by Monday and our history lesson will continue and maybe some humor to follow.
