Yaaaaarrrr!

Yar, me landlubbers! Today just happens to be one of my favorite holidays: International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Talking like a pirate is fun to do and absolutely free of charge. This year will be my first TLaPD without my fellow scurvy dog, Deenie Weenie, but I know that she'll be keeping the day in her heart. To especially honor TLaPD I will announce here that The Boy will, in fact, be a pirate this year for Halloween. I already got his costume and it's super cute. It'll be fun this year, because he can walk himself from house to house and I can still steal his candy with impunity! Speaking of The Boy, here is a picture of him and his Aunt Freyapup and Grandma when they were up here visiting this Summer. What a cutie! A CANADIAN FACT! There is supposedly buried treasure in Oak Island, Nova Scotia. Known as the Money Pit, people have tried for centuries to find the alleged pirate treasure located on the island with no luck. As per Wikipedia: "There has been wide speculation about what the pit might contain. Most suggestions include treasure buried by either Captain Kidd, British troops during the American revolution, Spanish sailors from a wrecked galleon, the Inca or even exiled Knights Templar hiding the Holy Grail in the pit. The notorious pirate Edward Teach (Blackbeard) claimed he buried his treasure "where none but Satan and myself can find it," leading to inevitable suggestions that he dug the pit, but there is no evidence to support this. Perhaps the most far-fetched theory is that English philosopher Francis Bacon used the pit to hide documents proving him to be the author of William Shakespeare's plays. The pit may contain nothing at all. Since the 1970s fewer people have believed the pit has any connection to pirates, due to the massive scale of the subterranean structure and its similarity to other natural formations found in the area."
