April Fools Day! – Helen – Back to our routine, walk around the lake and then French toast for breakfast, even Shenani had some.  Her husband is in Japan this week for a conference so she has been sharing our meals with us.  After Tom left for school, we decided to have a shopping spree.  We took a three wheeler to a small nearby town and went through two antique shops.  The first had a lot of neat old jewelry and I put several pieces on hold so that Tom could see them next Monday, and the second shop was just a waste of time with overpriced repro pieces.  We then took the bus back to town and had fish sandwiches in some sorry little place with the greatest fish buns!!!  Visited a few little shops and then to the famous Food City for a few things which I couldn’t buy yesterday because I ran out of money!!!  We were really tired by now so decided it was worth the $1.50 for the three wheeler home where we showered and took short naps.

While cooking dinner, I went outside to open the gate for Tom to park because it looked like rain.  I noticed a zip lock bag on the ground that looked as though it had been chewed open.  I thought it’s the monkeys but couldn’t think what was in the bag and where it came from.  I mentioned it to Shenani and she asked if I had left the kitchen door open (which we do when we cook) and unattended and I answered no.
