					Thursday 
 Surely many will agree that 2020 was the year that fooled us 
					all. For at least two-thirds of the year our world was 
					topsy-turvy and to some extent that still carries on today.
 
 While it was a rough year, some did all they could to make 
					the best of it. On April Fools Day, LDN ran three pictures 
					in our top stories section. The center photo was "trick" 
					photography at its best and perfect for April Fools Day.
 
 The caption read: "The center pic is super cute, good for 
					April Fool's Day, and we hope it makes you smile. It was 
					submitted via our Facebook page by Angie Brooks. "
