Hope you're up for some more interesting facts about the 49th State or just some interesting facts.

Hello there partner! My, you're going to be such a busy lady this April. Looks like you're well and truly sorted, giving you time to get to those edits. Go for it~ :-)
Love the theme of your challenge... will be back as I love all things Alaska. )
Ha! Ha! Ha! Let's hope it stays a joke - LOL! Great post. Wishing you a fantastic April, Yolanda and looking forward to reading all about Alaska.
Good on you posting a week's worth of letters together - nifty! A is for Alternatives :) Will be back to read all about painting with blood...sounds deliciously horrifying.
Have a great A-Z!

Just wish I felt as confident as you sound. My life is imploding right before my eyes. Busy - a word that doesn't even come close! :)
But it is what it is! Thanks, Denise!
Cool! Thanks, T. F.! I'll do my best to reciprocate!
Hi, Nicola, so glad you found it amusing. Touchy time and others may not. But it seemed apropos! :)
Some may think it's cheating, but it's really all I have time for right now. Thanks, Nila!
Thanks, Keith. Coming over to read your tale! Happy April Fool's Day and start to the A to Z!
Great joke, great post, and great adaptation to playing in the challenge despite being crazily busy. Yay you! I'll be looking forward to reading about Alaska while awaiting The Snowman.
lol just what Canada wants, the Russians nearby. Sure it will be fun as you give a to z a run.
Thanks, Deborah! Would be an interesting change! But I fear they may all ready be in charge here! Oops!
Hi, Pat, ditto my comment from above. Why should we have all the fun, Canada surely doesn't want to be left out! :)
Can't you add something else to your list? Such a slacker, Yolanda. :-) Wow. with all of this going on should I send vitamins? Instead, I'll send encouragement and congratulations. Here's to Alaska from A to Z.
When my kids were tiny, we took them to beginning swim classes. I received a letter from the county that since my baby peed in the pool, we would be billed for the clean-up costs at around $800 bucks. I was horrified and my husband? He was giggling. Yep, I'd been pranked. I still haven't forgiven him.
A is for Apollo 11 moon landing: Was it real?
Well, aren't YOU the clever one? (And here I thought you were only gonna do A-E... HA!)
I love your April Fool's joke. Great way to get your A-Z challenge going. Your post list sounds pretty darned ambitious, but I know you'll pull it off like a pro. Have fun with it!
I thought you really meant it at first. Phew. Forgot what day it was. Mind you, knowing him, it could have been true.
When it rains, it pours! Thanks, Lee, appreciate the support!
That's too funny. I'd have fallen for it too! Thanks, for sharing!
Hi, Susan:
Don't know how clever I am. Foolish for sure! Thanks, I'm going to try!
Thanks, Jo, isn't it horrible, we'd actually believe such a thing could be true! So sad!
Happy April Fools' Day!
Well, you know, looks like the entire world is going crazy, so I wouldn't surprise to have Aprils Fool Day (and not the fun kind) everyday ;-)
Your books sounds awesome :-)

LOL great start to the AtoZ. I visited Alaska about 35 years ago with my sister to attend a cousin's wedding. We had great fun.

Thanks for the laugh. We could all do with one!
*giggle* - I like the alternative fact ;)

Boy isn't that the truth! :) Hi, Nick!
A beautiful place for a wedding! Hi, Janet!
Thanks, Sarah! I can't wait too see it out there!
Stopping by from the A-Z blog challenge. Alaska has always fascinated me. My husband was in the coast guard and he spent many years in Alaska and the Bering Sea on Cutter ships, rescuing many fishermen. Excellent theme and first post.
My theme is all about baby boomers and those years we grew up. Grab some cookies and milks and come on over. Atomic Bombs
Don't joke, anything's possible in politics at the moment, it seems! ;-)
I can still remember when I was in primary school, about five or six, and the teacher drew a cat on the blackboard, then got a couple of kids to get the caretaker to tell him there was a cat in the classroom. When he started looking for it we all started squawking different directions for him to look, it was a good couple of minutes before he realised the cat was just drawn on the blackboard, hehe.

Hehe I like your "alternative fact"! The Snowman sounds interesting, I'll definitely be back on Monday to read the excerpt. :)
I’m taking part in the challenge for the first time this year. :) I’m a writer too, stepping outside my comfort zone and delving into crime writing. My theme is: Secret Diary Of A Serial Killer. http://nataliewestgate.com/2017/04/anna-secret-diary-of-a-serial-killer
Hi, Debby, hoping over with out the cookies and mile. Prefer a glass of wine, if that's all right? :) I'm glad you go to spend some time there! Amazing place!
It's so awful that we fear such a thing could be true. But today, who knows! That's a great April Fool Joke! LOL
Thanks, Natalie! Good luck with the diary. Sounds fascinating!
Hi, again, Natalie. I tried to leave a comment on your blog, but the 'captcha' wouldn't let me. You might want to disable that!
I was hoping his election was an April Fool's joke. Love your alternative fact.
Thanks, Denise!
If only it were!
That's a fun alternative fact. ☺ Sorry the election wasn't an April Fool's joke!
An artistic serial killer in Alaska. Fascinating premise!
That sounds like something the Donald might actually do đ
It certainly feels like a (bad) joke, Debbie!
LOL - it'll be headline news tomorrow! ;)
I imagine living in Alaska might be an advantage when blood is one's medium.

The whole world is going crazy so anything is possible...there's no news that shocks me at the moment. LOL
Happy A to Z'ing!
I see you've linked the WATWB badge to my post and also have me on the side bar under your list of must-reads...thank you, Yolanda! *blows a kiss*
My husband and I took a cruise to Alaska on our honeymoon, so I'll be following your topic with interest!

Haha!:) What a witty joke about Trump and Putin. Though it's a joke, there's something true in it. But I read D.Trump often makes jokes on this topic publicly. He often says to Putin " Don’t meddle in the election next time" in a joking manner.Do you think it means something? Or is it just a simple joke?
