Happy Easter Everyone!
Hope all the little ones have a beautiful Easter Basket from the Easter Bunny!
Darlene called and wished us a Happy Easter, & Wendy sent us a nice card!
It is another sunless, cold, dreary day outside. My few crocuses and lilies gave up on this weather and up and died! Oh well, maybe next year!
The neighbors have hidden Easter eggs all over the place and now there are kids looking all over. I love it! I wonder if mine remember their Easters. I do, anyhow.
When I was a kid, Easter was getting up before the sun rose so that we could go to the running brook (for the running water) and get a bucket of water before the sun came up. My mother believed that if Delores had this special water to drink it would make her well. But I guess it didn't work, she still had epileptic spells and passed away when she was 18. She was such a neat person! I wish my kids had known her. She was quite a storyteller, Gloria and I used to have her tell us a story every night when we went to bed. One story would never be enough. We always wanted more. And they were always made up.
She used to clean house for this Dr. that knew us well and with her paycheck buy dozens of hankies. I slept with her and she would have me stay up all night to crochet lace around them so that she could give them as gifts. I was around 7 and she was so proud of what I could do.
Sometimes she would decide to clean her room in the middle of the night and I would stay up to help her.
Enough of memories for one day, on to tomorrow!
