Today is April Fool's Day, and it is putting me in a bad mood. I hate stupid holidays, and I can't stand it that so many people get right into it. First, they were playing all Kidz Bop versions of songs on the radio this morning. Funny, maybe, for a few songs, but all morning? No Thank You! It started my day off not-so-right.
Now, all I hear about on the radio, the Internet, the T.V., is "April Fools' Day!" It's everywhere! I wasn't thinking anything about it when I booked our vacation. Who pays attention to April Fools' Day, anyways? Not me, so we are flying out for Jamaica this evening. Since it's April Fools' Day and trickery is in the air, I have the unsettled feeling that something will come up between now and this evening to prevent us from going on a fantastic vacation. Why, oh why, didn't I book something earlier in the day? Or, how about tomorrow, or yesterday? Why April Fools' day? Because apparantly, I'm the only person on the planet who forgot all about it being a stupid holiday.

Bee Bop Shop Hop
I attended the final meeting today for the Bee Bop Shop Hop in June. Here is some information on the shop hop, which promises to be lots of fun if you're in our area!
The Hop is Monday June 16 - Sunday June 22. 14 or 15 shops are included, from Metaline Falls, WA to Spokane, WA/Coeurdalene, ID to Palouse, WA, Moscow, ID, and me in Deary, ID. Hours are 10am-6pm M-Th, 10am-7pm F-Sat, and I think it's 11am-4pm Sunday, but if you're planning on it I'll have to check those Sunday hours. All shops are to be open these hours.
You have all week to make it to each shop. Which ever shop you choose to begin with, you will receive a passport and a shop list with maps. You only need to visit each shop and get your passport stamped to be eligible for great prizes, including 15gift baskets and the grand prize of an awesome quilting retreat for you and 9 friends!
For each shop you make a purchase at, you will receive a free fat eighth. You will also get to draw a discount when you purchase, with a chance to receive 10, 20, or 30% off your entire purchase!
There is no cost to participate in the hop, and you are not obligated to make any purchases to be eligible for prizes. Just turn in your completely stamped passport at the last shop you visit!
