April Fool

It is well past April 1st, but nonetheless, today was definitely an April Fool Day. For the last couple of months we planned for our daughter and her 2 children to come visit yesterday afternoon for the purpose of doing a couple of painting and woodworking projects. They planned to stay overnight and then go to the annual Baby Animal Days event at the living history farm. That was the plan. Yeah.

So around noon yesterday our daughter called to say that our grandson was sick. She took him to the instacare doctor and was told, in spite of the nausea and stomach pain, grandson was fine. This morning she took him to his regular doctor who decided to send him on to the nearest childrens hospital to try to find the cause of the problem. It didn't take them long to figure out that they needed to remove his appendix. He should be feeling better soon...though not soon enough to participate in Baby Animal Days Maybe it is just as well.

The weather also played a joke on us. April reminds me of Spring...flowers, new leaves on trees, warm weather, etc. Instead, this is what we got today:

The only warm thing I saw all day was this little fellow:
