EASTER SO SOON :)

I put out my Easter decorations the other day, when I realized how early it is this year.  It’s almost eerie being this early lol.   They say it won’t happen again for another 200 plus years..  That suits me just fine! lol…..I  like easter in April when the weather is a bit more springish. 

I remember when I was a little girl, how much I loved Easter.  My mother always bought me a new dress, shiney shoes, and a hat. Everyone at church was dressed up in their Easter attire.  We would get up early and have breakfast at our family church.  They had eggs, bacon, muffins, etc…it was a great time.  Then we had service at 9:00 am  and after church we had an ham dinner at noon.  I always got a gift of some sort…a cross necklace one year, and a bible another.  Of course, I always got a chocolate bunny.  Today, not many people dress up like we did in the 1960’s, and I miss that.  It takes the specialness out of the day (for me anyways)   I miss the good ole days sometimes… 

I was so tempted to hang the clothes out on the line today, but it only got up to 46 degrees.  It felt so warm, and the birds were singing this morning.  I refrained, although I am so anxious to start spending some time out in the yard. 

I heard this morning that the gas prices could go up to $4.00 a gallon by May.  Geesh, families are having to pinch pennies now to get by…and that will  hinder many  outings, and road trips that normally families would take.  Boy, do we need a change in this country.  I remember when I was about 12 years old my father having to get gas on a certain day.  I think it was odd …even, during the recession.  I just have to believe that “Better Days Are Coming”. 

Have a great day!
