APRIL FOOLS!!!!

 Good Morning RV friends from all over the planet!!  It's another BINGO FULL MOON.  What could be better than a gorgeous pink moon on Bingo night with April Fool's Day thrown in for good luck!!

Well April Fools, because OUR moon did not look one little bit like this!  It is however named after the pink flowers that bloom this time of year.

April Fools!!  None of MY flowers are pink.  They lean more to the RED side.  The roses were going great guns until .... APRIL FOOLS yet again ..... it rained most of the night.

Even the bottle brush are blooming, which made the bees happy until the big drops of water started bombing them from above.

This "whatever it is" ... help me out here Nurse Patty ... the name of which always escapes me, is so bright you really can't even see the petals of the flowers.

And so the day began, with me procrastinating about making an accounting stop.  This one is not my problem, so I chose to stand back.  APRIL FOOLS ... it's NOT MY JOB.

Besides, I really wanted to sneak in a nap before Bingo.  That didn't happen, so Cooper took one for me.

Kitters on the other hand, kept me awake all morning.  She just craves attention.  What can I do ... her pink nose and split tan/black chin cannot be denied.

And so in a flash ... it was time for APRIL FOOLS FULL MOON BINGO!  What could be better??

Lucky for me, everyone showed up to work.  Unlucky for me, my cashier is setting her own rules now.  That doesn't go over with the Bingo crowd.  You never EVER change the rules.  Out comes the pitchforks and flaming torches that will follow you around the room like Cooper going after treats!!

Our fire project came out quite nicely once painted and the new ceiling installed.  Only in the stairwells can I still smell just a tad bit of smoke.  Hey, it's better than the smell of skunk weed or even better, the No Shower Eau De OMG.  Not kidding ... that is no April Fools joke.

We weren't too crowded on this night ... about 130 players came to hang out.  It can get crazy running money to the back room to count and make into packets for the first four games.  I put out fires all along the way between the kitchen staff, the kitchen BOSS and the players.  It's the full moon I tell you!!

When I got frustrated, I just went and hid in the safe.  Yessiree ... a beautiful cool quiet cement wall hideaway.  It smells of Sees Candy and paper!  No money is kept in here.  When Sees donates boxes of soon-to-expire candy, it gets stored here for volunteers ... at least for volunteers who are let in on the secret!  If it gets too crazy, you will find me in here stuffing my mouth full!!

It was actually April Fools on us, because mostly the Peasants were pleasant, and only came out to fight twice when a newbie called BINGO too soon.  The numbers come up on four TV screens BEFORE they are actually CALLED.  You have to wait until the number comes out of the Callers mouth.  If you call early, the crowd will definitely tell you how WRONG you were!!!!

At long last it was time to close up.  I sat back and watched the cashier play with the infernal machine.  I truly am not sure exactly what she did, but she kept doing it wrong.  The machine kept locking up.  I just let it go because she knows best.  Did we balance?  I have no idea.  I've no doubt the KING will let me know today.  

Above are the remnants of last nights storm.  It's beautiful outside, the neighborhood smells wonderful, like fresh rain, and Bingo is over for another week.  It's a WIN WIN!!!

Here's hoping your April Fools Day is a GREAT one!  Maybe some Easter egg coloring will take place today, or better yet, a nice LONG nap!!
