LeeAnne's get-to-know-you writing topics this month:
As a youngster or teen, did you get a new dress, hat or shoes for Easter? I did have a new dress for Easter. My mother sewed everything I wore, and she always made each of us an Easter dress. go to church or have big family gatherings? Easter was always a special Sunday at church with special music and decorations. Do you mark the holiday now in some way? Easter Sunday is always a special day at church.
Do you remember dying easter eggs? Of course! That flimsy little wire egg holder...The cardboard box with the punch out holes for the eggs to dry on... The little tablets that would fizz and color the vinegar... the smell of vinegar... Did you do it with your mom or the other kids? Whoever was there. Did you have those crayons to pre mark them? I think we did once or twice, and I don't remember them working well. What did your family do with them? Did your family hide them for hunts? We hid them inside and outside again and again and again.
Did you get Easter baskets as a child? Please describe them, what was in them, did you get them in the morning? After church? I didn't discover that kids got new baskets and candy and presents for Easter until I was an adult. Did you make them for your kids your mate or decorations? We did make it special for our kids, but we weren't outlandish with it.
Where do you do your computer work, or blogging? For example at the kitchen table like me? on your lap in front of the tv? at an actual desk? Do you use a computer or do it from your phone or ipad? show us a pic if you can, of your set up for blogging. I actually did a painting with my laptop and my favorite space and wrote a whole post about this very thing.
