Happy EasterWent to visit my mom for Easter last
weekend. She did NOT buy me anEaster basket. Oh, she had the regularcandy peeps and a bag of chocolate foil-wrapped eggs for me. But no messy col-ored real eggs for deviled eggs or potatosalad later. No lamb cake on it’s nosebecause it never stands upright.
Stores were already closed in her littlevillage. So it was a toss up between eggsfor breakfast or colored boiled eggs. Ichose breakfast.
The tradition of a bountiful Easter bas-ket goes back a long way before our mod-ern consumer driven version. Spring hasalways been seen as a time of rebirth andblessing and the fertility godddess Eostre(or Oestre) was sometimes depicted carry-ing a basket of eggs. It was traditional totake baskets of early seedlings to templesto increase the chance of a good harvest.
Just doesn’t seem right to have Easterwithout my Easter basket even if I amover 30. Her excuse was the church thefamily now goes to has an Easter egg hunton the lawn after church. Now how am I,at age 36, going to fight all those little kidsfor hidden eggs?
Ah...the turmoils of growing up. Therest of the day, however, was very peace-ful and enjoyable. Watched a couplemovies, took a nap, and then planned afew more things to do, people to see andplaces to go - which are all covered in thisissue of our South Ohio Weekender. Untilthe next time...
