Sunday Money Roundup – Rest And Relax Edition.

This weekend I plan on having a little downtime as the next couple of weeks are going to be hectic…except for our couple of days away from phones, the internet and television while staying in a Yurt in Northern California. I cannot wait for that because everything else is going to be so busy. Curious? More on that later, but for now here is a nice roundup of goings-on this past week:
