Spooky or not???? Tell me your thoughts. To me it is just another day, which usually means that I am working. However, this year we do have one Friday 13th during the summer. Our next one will be April 13th, and the last one will be July 13th. So we will see, maybe the summer one will not be ordinary…….
Now I leave you with some facts about Friday 13!!

Helen, Naturally! 
Thanks for all of the interesting Friday the 13th trivia! I’m not superstitious, so I don’t even notice that it’s friday the 13th unless someone tells me.
I am not superstitious either but I usually always know because I have to write the date constantly, lol!
I heard that 13 was an unlucky number because people used to do human sacrifices on the 13th “moonth”
Oh that’s horrible! I haven’t heard that one before!!
Ohhh loving those facts!
Near where i live is a little town called Port Dover where every Friday the 13th motorcyclists from ALL OVER travel to meet up! Its crazy how many people go however today is a bad snow storm so i’m assuming its cancelled 🙂
That is so funny how they meet up!! We do not have any thing like that but always the typical pranksters…..
Thanks for this hun, I stayed home and kept safe and sound! Guess being sick has SOME advantages! 🙂
