Yes, I have been sitting on the balcony for a few minutes and I decided to write a little. I expect a little cool snap around Easter. We usually do. I remember when my girls were growing up, a new outfit was expected for Easter. It was exciting. New shoes and fancy socks. new dress, even though I made a lot of them in the early days. they were a work of art to me. The girls had fancy purses and hats and some time gloves also. I even made some of my own clothes. I hope they were not embarrassed at the way they looked. Of course many moms sewed their girls clothes then. I was not real good at it but I tried. And we made up for it with pretty Easter baskets filled with "peeps". colored eggs, chocolate bunnies and maybe a toy. Probably a coloring book. Nothin like new crayons. They smell so good. It would be a little disappointing when they had to cover up with a sweater. Even though the sweater was a pretty one--it still spoiled the effect. I remember having a store bought dress once in a while. I remember one Easter I had two new dresses, because we could not decide which to buy. I can still see them both in my minds eye. One was white taffater with pink roses and a beautiful sash. The other was solid pink with tiny pearl buttons down the bodice. I was about 10 years old, I think. Some dresses in your past just stand out and stay with you. Do little girls still get the thrill of "Easter Outfits?"

P. S. I made a pot of navy bean and ham soup. Last of the season. Although I like soup year around. Sure smells good.!!!
