We had dinner with Kevin, Becky, Dayna and Peter on April 1. When serving up the food, Becky said we should start with dessert – in this case, cake. It turned out to be a very special cake! Cottage Cheese loaf frosted with colored mashed potatoes. Carrot flowers with peas garnished the top. It was really good!
We had a few cute visitors join us at the table.
Our next course was also pretty special… a bucket of chalk; a lot. And what could be better than chalk; a lot with brown E’s?
After a good laugh at the chocolate and brownies, Becky served us some pecan pie. It seemed normal enough, until we were offered mayonnaise, straight from the Hellman’s jar, as a topping! As suspected, it was really whipped cream in a novel presentation.
Kevin had done many other silly things that day. The kids went to get in the van, and found in its place a small toy car – the real van nowhere in sight. Several things were found in absurd places. And Peter put a large can of Bruces’ Yams in his parent’s bed, and had them thinking a cat had somehow gotten in there.
What a fun night!
In keeping with the spirit of April Fool’s day, I’m going to mention that we have embarked on a huge trip that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time! But I’m not going to tell you where yet!
We left Omaha’s Eppley field early in the morning.
As we broke through the clouds, we had a gorgeous view – a great beginning to an epic adventure… can you guess where we’re headed?
What original April Fool’s day pranks! And I’ve seen em all! I always fall for them, mostly for real, but sometimes just to please the prankster. I think I figured out at least which direction the plane was heading. If you are flying across the path of the sunrise, it’s taking you southward.
Any chance you two will visit Switzerland some day?
