Each family probably adds something to the things that their parents did on that special Sunday morning. On the Saturday afternoon before Easter we colored hard boiled eggs. Each child tried to have the prettiest egg. Even as my mother and grandmother colored eggs with dried onion skins so, I do too. They get unusual patterns and shades of orange, yellow, and brown. I think the Easter bunny had as much fun hid ing the baskets of Easter candy as the children did hunting them. They were usually hidden in con sideration of the height of the child. Occasionally, they needed hints as to where the basket was hid den. We then had a breakfast that was different than any regular meal. The beef tongue was smoked, cooked, and sliced after being refrigerated. And, with this delicacy we always served toast and three-minute eggs. Other mornings we had cereal and fruit with milk. Living on a dairy farm we bot tled six or eight quart of milk every day. It was a job that the children found quite boring. But, they drank lots of milk and all of them got tall, al though the grandchildren are even taller. At last, after spending the winter months in the hospital, my husband has come home. He can walk with a cane but all of the doctors could not cure his infection. So, we shall have to live with it, and hope that it will not get worse. Then, he’d need another major op eration.
