Hey, Money Buddie$!
It’s been a while since the last Weekly Fav 5. Things have been a bit rough around here. In the last Fav 5 I shared that we had some Hurricane Harvey damage. Just a bit over a week later my Wife’s Mom passed away.
With that, I needed to back away from a few things and focus on us. We’re on the mend. I’ve still got some work to take care of around the place, and Selena’s handling her Mom’s passing pretty well.
Time to get back to as “Normal” as possible.
With that, here’s the latest, although delayed Weekly Fav 5.
There’s some great stuff here!
