Bill, I appreciate the nod but.....it's not until April 2. Not sure of your sources, you may have it mixed up with my telling of one of my daughters and family coming this week. As for the date, it's always been something Rita's sisters kid me about by telling me my mother lied to me about the date. They maintain it really is April 1st, April Fools day, but my mother told me it was the 2nd just to save me the embarrassment. When Rita met her, she had to tease a bit, saying my mother could confide in her. But she stuck to her guns, said I started making myself known early in the day, finally made an appearance late afternoon with a lot of hollering and was so big he was a literal PITA(my mother was a tiny woman). Rita told her I hadn't changed in over 50 years....I was in my mid-50's at the time.
