APR 1, 23 .. Get It? April .. 1 .. 2 .. 3 ..<\/p>\n

I just now “Googled” April Fools Day. Then, from their endless list of choices, I went to Wikipedia. Going back in history, there seems to be NO clear and concise rhyme nor reason for April Fools Day. Below is a link to the Wikipedia resource.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/April_Fools%27_Day<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe tomorrow, and maybe not, I will “look back” on today and share anything of interest that happens to Patti and me today, April Fools Day, 2023.<\/p>\n

Friday the 31st of March 2023<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On the proverbial zero (worst case) to ten (best case) rating scale, today would have to rate somewhere around a +20. An absolutely outstanding day.<\/p>\n

Yesterday : Rain and Wind<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today : The weather was beyond outstanding. Clear skies, 65\u00b0F to 70\u00b0F, sunny with a pleasant wind. No traffic issues.<\/p>\n

I began to “pack us out of our room” at the Edgewater on Thursday night. What I could do I DID. So this morning, I was at least a full hour “ahead of the game”.<\/p>\n

Getting into, and out of, one’s hotel is so much more of a chore than it is at a motel where your vehicle is outside your motel room door. Out of our room, down the elevator, out of the hotel to our truck. Back into the hotel, up the elevator, to our room and do it over again. I made ten (10 count them) trips down and up again.<\/p>\n

However there are so many things that can only be done ON the day of travel. The night before, I can not pack up my CPAP sleep apnea breathing device, my dental items, our kitchen items (we need to eat breakfast ON the morning of our travel day), etc and on and on and on. Check out time was 11am. We were checked out of our room, and we were in our truck and moving at 10am. We made several stops leaving Bullhead City AZ (Sam’s Club, Sonic Drive In<\/em><\/span>, Walmart, Smith’s).<\/p>\n

Sonic Drive In<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What on this good earth was Sonic<\/em> <\/span>about Captain?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We wanted to compare a Sonic Slush with a Circle K Froster.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sorry Sonic<\/em> <\/span>! There IS NO comparison!<\/p>\n

Then we made more stops as we entered Lake Havasu City AZ (Wendy’s for Frosty’s, Circle K for a Froster, Walmart for prescriptions, Smith’s Grocery Store).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then it just takes us time to unload, unpack and re-organize. We went to a great meeting this evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bottom Line : The day could NOT possibly have gone better.<\/p>\n

– – – – – – – –<\/span><\/p>\n

To TOO much fun. While at our local Circle K enjoying an Orange Creme Froster ..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh By The Way, Patti and I “introduced” our friend Michael to Circle K Frosters. MICHAEL then went and tried one and MICHAEL introduced Patti and I to the Orange Creme Froster.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back in (was it 2018) Detroit Tiger Tom introduced me to a Circle K Froster in Bullhead City, Arizona.<\/p>\n

So as Patti and I were enjoying our Orange Creme Froster, up drove a “commercial” vehicle on business with the Circle K.<\/p>\n

For some totally odd and totally unusual reason, I never know myself what will make my putter-flutter, I really “was fascinated” by its beautiful “art work” (keep in mind that beauty IS in the eye of the beholder!!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then, after gassing-up, it parked beside us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the life of me, I don’t know how commercial artists do such creations.<\/p>\n

What’s that Gullible ? STOP taking pictures !<\/p>\n

April\u00a0Fools Day, April 1st 2023<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Patti will DO a 10am meeting then go to the library to select some hard cover books to read, catch up on People magazine and a newspaper.<\/p>\n

We hope and plan to watch UCONN (University of Connecticut) play Miami in the final game of the Final Four of March Madness.<\/p>\n

Good Day To You. Happy April Fools Day To You.<\/p>\n
