Our House Is Trying to be Haunted: Fun New Things

So it seems our old new house is haunted as I originally feared/expected. First of all, spider webs are EVERYWHERE. I dropped a cap from a juice bottle accidentally and it fell down the basement stairs. I groaned and walked ALL THE WAY AROUND the banister to go down the stairs to pick it up […]

Where Are the Lambs, March?
