Two things happened yesterday that should have been April Fools Day pranks but weren’t.

First… we had our taxes done. This is always cause for mutual grumbling and groaning because we never see a refund and always pay, pay, pay.

So when the preparer tallied everything up and handed us this?

.

.

We were stunned.

Yes, it cost us $410 to find out, but … refunds! Not one, but two. We almost fell off our chairs.

It was also the first time my husband had to admit that this full time retirement thing might not be so bad.

The second thing that I was sure was a prank was this…

.

.

Okay Oreo, ha ha. Funny joke.

But no….

They actually sold this monstrosity.

.

.

For one day only. On April 1st.

.

Blech!

.

.

A complete abomination and one that is sure to kick my dormant pickle algorithm into high gear.

Sigh.
