Easter

Easter was nice. I went to my fathers and two of my sisters and one of my brothers came. An old friend also brought her daughter over. We all stuffed and found eggs, and of course I hid them from the little ones. We also fished and my son tukker caught over 16 crappie out of my dads pond. We named the fish according to their size. Walter was the biggest, he was about 10 inches and plenty round. Then there was teeny timothy, and of course he was the smallest. The boys had a really good time fishing. In fact me and my sister were standing at dads big window watching them fish from the pond, and we were recalling how our brothers use to fish when it was freezing out. They would stand out there in the cold, every breath they took you could see. They would not have gloves on or sometimes even hats, but they were warm. If they got told to come in they would remark, but it is not that cold out. Sunday when we got up, my boys were like watching my brothers as we all grew up. It was raining and cold out. They continued to stand out there and fish for hours. It would rain some, then would stop just long enough for them to get a perch. That to them was enough reason to stand out there when it was raining. We had a really good time over easter. My dad cooked, like allways, he made us all hambugers on the grill, mac and cheese and tomatoes with cottage cheese. My father is a very good cook, so anything had it been just hot dogs, would have made us all very pleased. We cant forget to mention and old tradition at my dads, goes back to when I was a child. Whenever dad wasnt working, which wasnt often, or for the holidays, he allways bought a movie and watched it with us all. This Easter we all watched Denise the Menace. It was a good movie and was entertaining for everyone, even us adults. While watching Denise the menace, dad brought out the ice cream. That also was something he allways did for us. Ice cream is a treat for my kids and was a treat to us then. We did other things whole we were there too, important enough to mention. We all flew kites, and dads is a great place to fly them, he has a acre yard or bigger. We all hung around and gossiped. We got to play with my cousins new little one, the newest member of the family. We ate lots of candy. I got to play easter bunny, stuffing the baskets after the kids went to bed. I allways enjoy this, itis one of my favorite parts. The only thing we did not do, that we normally do is go out to eat somewhere nice on Saturday. But it was still a very nice, busy weekend.
