I do remember my mother serving breakfast on April Fools Day with a slice of toasted pound cake, topped with whipped cream and a face-down peach half... It looked like a fried egg on a slice of toast! <br /><br />I am thinking about my poisson d'avril for tomorrow and wondering how long my husband will wear it before noticing. I have great difficulty in holding back my laughter and usually give it away.<br /><br />Enjoy your first day in a new month, a fresh start!<br /><br />Bises,<br />Genie<br /><br /> Genie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-81602306861452696512014-03-31T23:01:31.900-03:002014-03-31T23:01:31.900-03:00I wish I did but I am not that creative.I wish I did but I am not that creative.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324315351283229508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-85834400173159715072014-03-31T21:27:43.188-03:002014-03-31T21:27:43.188-03:00Oh, I forgot about this from our time living in Be...Oh, I forgot about this from our time living in Belgium!
