Gertrude, Poisson D' avril, 1911

Hi folks - a late addition to last week's Vintage Photos Theme Park pool.
It's been a rough few weeks with my husband having to be in hospital - where he still is.
I wanted you all to know that I have not disappeared, and will post when I can.

So sorry to learn that Brian is in the hospital. Sending my wishes for a speedy and full recovery. P.S. Love your "Fish of the Month" photo.

Oh, yes, very sorry to hear about your husband, Deborah!

I think yours would have to take first prize by itself--I've never seen a fish-shaped mask, it shows a cute kid with a wonderful array of photos on the wall, and to top things off it has a "poisson d'avril" (French April Fools) greeting dated 1911! Wonderful!

Well, "poisson d'avril" is yet another nifty piece of trivia to tuck away for a rainy day. Thanks! Surely, you must be a former "Jeopardy" champion.

Thanks for your kind words, friends. His diagnosis has just been changed - again! Pretty frustrating, but trying to be thankful for the fact that he is holding is own.
And thank you for the nice compliments on the photo. Sadly, I can never look at this without wanting to kick myself for passing up a photo in the shape of a lobster!! What was I thinking??
I'll bet that you all have "why did I pass that up" stories, too.,

Oh Deborah, I'm so sorry to hear this! I can only imagine the stress you're going through. I sure hope he'll be well soon, and hope your kids and grandkids are nearby to offer aid.
