Wishing You A Lovely Easter and Passover

I know many of you who celebrate Easter or who are in the midst of Passover are experiencing it in different ways than in years past. It all causes me to be rather nostalgic.

So, in honor of Easter, of days past and less distant times, a few memories.

I wish I could remember the times above, with my cousin, David. But I do remember this big rabbit below.

By the time I was  a little older, my mom and I were turning out eggs for our Easter egg tree. My tree came out for Easter, or one of them and I'll share those pix soon!

There are some big gaps until adulthood in the Easter photos! One of the things I'll miss most this year is not doing our annual Easter egg dying with our friends Mark and Jan. This is from a few years ago.

Every year we dye eggs, enjoy dinner and then watch "Life of Brian." We know all the lines -- it's almost like choral speaking!

This year we'll did eggs on our own and a ZOOM show and tell.

I'll have to get creative with Rick's Easter basket. I feel some baking coming on. But no plants or seeds this year.

We've had Easters when it's just the two of us, which will be much like this year.

But we'll miss times when we are all together.

Oh, that was a tasty Easter!

This was our first Easter with Carson.

And last year we loved Carson's first egg hunt...

...and Cam's first Easter.

The weather was so nice we enjoyed a walk to the Ditch.

There may be chocolate, but it won't be wrapped in pretty foil.

And there will be colorful eggs (which will make wonderful deviled eggs for dinner!)

There will be memories of long ago days in church choir 250 singers from age five to adulthood with a big breakfast between the two services.

And memories matter. This year will be unforgettable for many of us. For some, very sad. For most, very different. Whatever holiday you may be celebrating this season, from my house to yours...

... and from sweet Lizzie too...

...all good wishes for a healthy, happy, lovely holiday and spring.
