Because you didn't ask, I decided to provide a blast from the past.
Easter, April 8, 1976 from our backyard in Albuquerque:
I'm only sorry I had to drag my siblings into this.
I'm the shortest one. You know, the one with a deathgrip on my Easter basket.
Man, I loved that dress. It had a sash and everything.
We'd been to Easter Mass that morning.
Mom had sung "Jeeeesus Chriiiiist is riiiiiisen todaaaaaay!" loudly along with the congregation and the church organ (man, she loved that song. Something about all the allelujahs.)
Ham was in the oven and the backyard Easter egg hunt was soon to begin.
I always did love Easter. A new dress. New white sandals. A basket full of candy. Yeah baby!
Anyhow, Happy Easter to all who celebrate it!
