A-Hunting We Will Go

Several years ago, Jen and I were crowned "The King and Queen of Easter." Not really sure what that means. I didn't know there was a land called Easter. Apparently there is, and it is a monarchy. So, to amuse our "subjects," we hosted a gala once again at the Big Brown Lawn.

And what did the kids of Easter like best. The traditional "hunt," of course! Nothing beats trying to track down junk filled plastic eggs rammed into the dusty bowels of the Earth. Or up the diseased tree.
Or in the earwig infested artichokes.

And look what Ellie found in one of her eggs. Must have been a fertile one.

And so it is that the Big Brown Royal Family, bit "egg-do" to another Easter holiday. It wasn't the most triumphant gala, nor the most glamorous, but we did the best we could with the crowd we had, and whatever... it's a monarchy, remember! We can do whatever we want!

Oh, and if anyone is missing a large crystal serving bowl, a large pyrex bowl, a salad dressing container, a serving platter, several large serving spoons, a sauce bowl, or a serving fork, you can pick them up at our next garage sale. We will make sure to cut you a deal.

Happy Easter!
