Today is Easter! I have started to write this post three times and cannot get past the first two sentences. I was going to write about Easter Trivia, there is a lot of little known and unusual facts about Easter. If you would like to know them, just type the phrase Easter Trivia into the Google search bar. I did that and found a number of interesting websites that contain information on Easter.

Today is Easter, so I wish a Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates this holiday. To everyone who celebrates a holiday this time of year, have a happy and joyous holiday.

Today is Easter! Today I will eat a solid chocolate bunny with a cup of hot tea. Sometimes I have a cup of coffee with my chocolate bunny on Easter, but this year my mother and I are going to have hot tea. This is a personal tradition with my mother and me. Every year on Easter we eat a chocolate bunny, sometimes it is a hollow bunny and sometimes a chocolate egg, but most of the time it is solid chocolate bunny.

Today is Easter! Today in Las Vegas, the wind is blowing and howling in through an open window. Lion, my yellow cat, is sitting at the window with his nose to the screen. He is listening to the wind and smelling the air, he seems to be enjoying himself. Usually there are mourning doves, other bird flying around outside, but the wind is stronger then normal, and they are in their nests. When the wind stop howling through the screen, Lion jumps down from the ledge, but then jumps back up when he hears the wind again.

Today is Easter! When I was a child in Blackwell, Oklahoma, there was a small airport across from my Grandparents’ house. Every year there was an Easter Egg Hunt at the airport. My Mother and Grandparents’ would take us (my brothers, sister and me) to the airport to so we could participate and find Easter Eggs.

Today is Easter! The memories of past Easters flood my mind, good times with my family. One Easter tradition in our home was the Easter baskets that the Easter Bunny left, for my siblings and me, the night before Easter. There were small candy eggs, color chicken eggs and in each basket a solid chocolate Easter Bunny. In addition, we children colored chicken boiled chicken eggs, we never worried about the colored dye we used on the eggs. After the eggs were colored, we would peel the eggs and eat them. If there were any left over then my Grandmother would make Deviled Eggs.
