BUT, his hands became so covered with the various colors, his skin was pretty black in most places. It didn't come off. We went to Easter mass the next day and I couldn't stop giggling.Margaret Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503824433703425042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-37651410337975521222011-04-09T17:04:16.995-07:002011-04-09T17:04:16.995-07:00Hi Nancy!

Last year we hosted a 16 yr old student from Japan and she dyed eggs with us.

Spring and Easte...Thanks for sharing the interview. Spring and Easter are my favorite time of year. I remember as a child coloring Easter eggs and trying to find them, including ones hidden in the house. Once we missed one, and I still remember the awful smell that later led us to find it. When I had my own children years later, we decorated boiled eggs but hid plastic ones filled with candy, so no worries of rotten eggs!Connie Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264510809220669622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-32806554858974148212011-04-08T05:26:33.023-07:002011-04-08T05:26:33.023-07:00Gorgeous post and interview...I remember brightly ...Gorgeous post and interview...I remember brightly colored eggs, hunting them even in the rain, umbrellas perched on our shoulders, festive table, leg of lamb, best china and silver and, of course, permission to eat lots of chocolate!

Always a new Easter dress and bonnet. Our Easter baskets were always full with candy and a small gift. We would hunt for Easter eggs than have a wonderful home cooked meal prepared by my mother. The ham and deviled eggs always my favorite. I so miss those days as everyone has their own place to be so we are never together for Easter anymore. Great memories!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254868736032100690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-2131654364294098642011-04-07T12:48:46.330-07:002011-04-07T12:48:46.330-07:00Hey MOTS!

As for Easter memories, in my family the Easter bunny would leave one golden egg and there was always money inside so my cousins and I would always try to find that golden egg. One year it was on the roof of my granny's two story house. Another year it was in a Mockingbird's nest in the ancient magnolia tree. It was always fun trying to think outside the box.Marguerite Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074585348316787460noreply@blogger.com
