This year's April 1st blog is an extra special one because it is also Easter Sunday. Wow! It's like a holiday double feature!
A lot has happened since last year's Stutz family update. Dear J.R. and I are now roommates in a town known as the Wooded Lands. This is a magical place where midgets are employed to fabricate billboards and marquee signs for all of the area businesses. Consequently, none of the signs is taller than 3 feet. This makes it hard to find the businesses, but easy to see the woods. Hence the name. There are more county sheriffs in the Wooded Lands than any other U.S. town per capita. This makes for a very safe town with very slow driving.
J.R. and I enjoyed a lovely flower ceremony with some folk singers in the a.m. immediately followed by an Easter egg hunt. In the evening we went to a local park in search of wild flowers, but there were more people laying on the ground than there were flowers...so we picked up some chocolate bunnies, speckled eggs and marshmallow peeps @ CVS and headed home. On the way we spotted an entire herd of deer playing golf! I just could not believe it! I immediately stopped to snap a photo and as soon as I did, one of our friendly sheriffs flashed his lights and blew his siren. Realizing right away that stopping in the middle of the road to gawk @ deer playing golf is hazardous in oh so many ways, I pulled to the shoulder. When the officer asked for my lisence, I offered him a peep and he let us go.
J.R. and I did not hear from my twin sister Debbie all day and ya know what? That is a good thing.
My cat Claudia has been an only fur-child since last summer. Assuming that she was enjoying having all the attention to herself, I have neglected looking for a new companion for her. But, as we stepped through the door of our apartment this evening we could see that Claudia had taken matters into her own paws. She had invited 2 hairless alien cats into our home to have an Easter party! A stranger sight we have never seen and a better Easter we have never had.
Special Easter blessings to one and all...and happy April 1st!
