Favorite Easter Links

Early morning Sunrise Services, sitting outside, shivering in the early desert air
Breakfast in the church fellowship hall
Beautiful dresses sewn by my mother
Dying eggs –the smell of vinegar, writing on eggs with a white crayon, leaving them in the dye a long time to get vivid colors
Hiding and seeking the eggs
The year my dad hid an egg in the rafters of the front porch and it wasn’t found ’til months later
Easter hymns: “Hear the bells ringing they’re singing that we can be born againnnnnnn…”
Imagining the wonder of the women who found the empty tomb
Easter baskets with chocolate and jelly beans and plastic grass
Easter Sunday, Late 70s

My new “Feeling Lucky” / Lucky Charms t-shirt
Joining the 20,000 people at Kelly’s Irish Pub & Eatery that day (Literally, they announced the number at the end of the night.)
Skydiving Leprechauns
Walking under tall people
1000 people singing “Living On a Prayer” at the top of their lungs
The camraderie in the line for the women’s bathroom
Green beer
Screaming to talk to your friends
Late night Village Inn
Having my BFF in town
