How fondly the remembrances of a little boy in a suit and white shirt the adored older brother to two tiny girls in white starched pinafores little straw hats with pink ribbons trailing all carrying Easter baskets filled to overflowing and faces in awe of the pageantry the symbolic flowers overflowing the altar the hymns like angels singing. Reminiscing... reliving the Easter egg hunts the joyful hollering and “I got more than you did.” Pristine white giving way to chocolate bunny smears and grass stains. Looking back it all seems like just yesterday. Later, a full house of laughter and hugs platters and plates piled high roasted lamb, ham, a brisket of beef for Uncle Joe. Bowls filled to overflowing with all the trimmings the traditional cakes and pies the camaraderie of family and friends the inevitable tummy aches from too much candy. and the memories live on, and on, and on.

What exquisite and precious memories to offer balm to trials and tribulations and heart aches, Marcia - and so beautifully woven, as always, into a tapestry for all time! Owl |

Nice thoughts to another time and place. Very enjoyable and brought back a memory or two of mine. It also made me think about what the town of Seattle has done. They renamed Easter Eggs to Spring Spheres. Shame on them, but hooray for you and this lovely poem for the occasion. ~ Don't insult the alligator till after you cross the river. ~ |

I just HATE it when I comment and it doesn't show up on the site I commented on. I suppose when I hit the submit on this one the original will appear. ~ Don't insult the alligator till after you cross the river. ~ |

A second thought - are spheres also high in cholesterol? |
