April Fool's

I love April Fool's day. It is my husband's birthday and it has always been special in our house. One year April Fool's day fell on a Sunday and I was playing for church. It took me the whole service to get up the nerve, but on the last hymn instead of playing what I was supposed to be playing I played, "Joy To The World." The congregation was trying very hard to sing along with me, but it didn't sound too pretty. After they had sung one verse, I stopped and yelled, "April Fool's!" They all laughed so hard that it was hard to finish the service. The pastor was very gracious about it and said we must laugh at church also. She was in the store the other day and brought up my April Fool's playing and said she will never forget it. The best thing about owning a quilt shop is being able to laugh and have a good time with our customers. We are sooooooooo blessed! Oh, in case you are wondering if I have an April Fool's joke up my sleeve, you are correct--I do! I will have to wait a few days before I tell you what it is..........Till then!
