Easter Memories

When I think about Easter, I remember...

The joy of getting a basket when I was little -- my favorite finds in that basket were marinated herring, green olives and sardines. And, the joy of making a basket for Rick now!

Flowers, everywhere!

Memories of our church choir days, with a big breakfast served by the choir parents (including mine!) between the two services!

Dyeing eggs with our friends Mark and Jan on Good Friday (before watching "Life of Brian.")

Bunnies. Living and decorative.

A lovely dinner with ham scalloped potatoes, and deviled eggs. (And carrot cake cupcakes are nice, too!)

Watching my neighbor Frank hide eggs for his grandchildren's Easter egg hunt!

Chocolate eggs. And malted milk ball eggs. And jelly bellies in tart flavors!

Making cute tiny centerpieces with just a few flowers. This was a favorite.

And so was this!

Remembering how every year growing up, my mom and I would make Easter eggs for our tree. (This photo could do with a little color enhancement! It's a golden oldie -- but many of those eggs are on my tree today, along with lots of others accumulated through the years.)



Anticipating the discoveries of spring.

Whether you celebrate Easter or Passover (or none of the above), I wish you a lovely weekend!
