Happy Easter!

Traditional Easter Brunch 

Shell's bunny mug I made in 1981



We always had Easter brunch outside from as far back as I can remember.  All the years that the kids were growing up, our Easters were spent in the back yard of the Blomberg's.  It consisted of beautiful brunches, egg hunts and lots of laughs and fun with people we loved.  Kids grow up, people die and times change.  We are so lucky to have such memories to look back on each Easter now.  This year, we were lucky to have Shell come home for the weekend.  She had signed up to run in a race Saturday morning in Nashville, so we hadn't really planned on her coming.  Last week, she decided that she could do both.  So, Saturday afternoon she came pulling up to the back door.  Come Sunday morning, we were forced to have our Easter brunch inside because of the rain.  It ended by the time we ate and got the dishes cleaned up.  We all headed outside to get some yard work done.  Shell helped me move a lot of the plants over by the TT to the yard and Chuck moved two heavy urns that were at the front steps...to the back steps.  Shell also dug up lots of plants to take back to Nashville to plant around her little house.  The day went by way too fast and it was time for Shell to pack up her little car and head back north.  A Happy Easter was celebrated again.
