I always had a new outfit...dress, spring coat, shoes, hat, purse, gloves...everything. And the traditional dinner of ham and scalloped potatoes. Now HB does ham for himself since I don't eat meat anymore. But we still have deviled eggs! Happy Easter, Jeanie!!

I also loved the beautiful picture of the inimitable Gypsy -- who will never be forgotten! (We're bracing ourselves for the decline of our beloved Gus, who looks so much like Gypsy, and who, at nearly 15, is starting to get ill) I hope Gypsy is either onto his next life or happily playing around the Rainbow Bridge.Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-27544382827189188412013-03-29T13:53:36.762-04:002013-03-29T13:53:36.762-04:00Easter has lovely traditions all of it’s own.

I ...Love, love, love the way you celebrate Easter. I think next to Christmas, this is my favorite time to celebrate. It has less expectations, so we can just play. And play you do indeed. Love it! We will have two boy babies and two little girls this year for our Easter egg hunt. I can't wait until the boy babies are big enough next year to also run in the yard. Sometimes I wish for the traditional Easter meal, but ours will be a gluten-free tea party.

My folks always hid a "big" surprise somewhere - I found Bunny in the oven!<br /><br />When you give your class in Easter egg dying, I'll be first in line. Those eggs are beautiful, and I haven't the first clue how to produce something like that. ;)shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-72861912877380880162013-03-28T07:29:12.483-04:002013-03-28T07:29:12.483-04:00I always love seeing pictures of the eggs you guys...I always love seeing pictures of the eggs you guys dye as they are always so pretty! That is a cool tradition to decorate them with friends! I like helping the kids decorate. You definitely have some 'interesting' eggs as they like to experiment with combinations of colors which results in some brown, weird looking eggs. ;) <br /><br />Our Easter meal is traditional as well. It always includes ham! I am not sure what else as I have been a bit out of the loop this year and did not offer to bring anything as i feel a bit over-extended as is...<br /><br />Happy Easter, dear friend!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-32168474470718893282013-03-28T06:51:08.333-04:002013-03-28T06:51:08.333-04:00Hello Jeanie,

Dad was often gone overseas. There was always Mass and a great dinner afterwards.<br /><br />As the kids grew up, I continued the new clothes tradition and making baskets. I still have some of the baskets in the garage.<br /><br />Now it's Cadbury Creams for Krista and Peeps of all sorts for Don. No new clothes. There is enough to mix and match and it will feel new.<br /><br />Dinner will have six people at our table this year. Dave and Yoli and Adrian will join Kris, Don, and I. <br /><br />I always like Easter and this year I'm thinking of doing something a little different. I'm thinking of getting a Paska bread cake. See my current post about that.<br /><br />Wishing you and Rick and all your loved one a blessed Easter, Jeanie.Annie Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415548089882625246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-63486398082006156202013-03-27T22:28:45.944-04:002013-03-27T22:28:45.944-04:00I love the way you do holidays.
