A Politically Correct Spring Weekend of Celebration...or not

When I was a little girl we would go to church on Easter Sunday dressed in our finest attire and then suffer through my mother’s attempt to bake a ham. Later in the day we would take decorated baskets and hunt for brightly colored Easter eggs in a field with our friends.

My parents always gave me a duckling to raise over the summer that would find a home at a local farm in the fall. My older sister always chose a baby chick.

Of course, we know better than that these days.

Now we observe Resurrection Sunday, take our age challenged family members to the mall for a picture with the Garden Bunny or perhaps on a raped chicken bi-product hunt.

Now baskets come pre-packed.

Even the chicks have a new attitude…

However you choose to celebrate (or not) (or are allowed to celebrate in your community) I wish you a happy and healthy holiday/regular weekend!

Personal tip: If the weather forces you to have an indoor raped chicken bi-product hunt and the house begins to reek after a few days…look in the shoe box under the bottom bunk.

For the rest of you…Happy Easter!
