I was so busy yesterday that it completely slipped my mind that it was Easter. I think I may have written about this before in my blog, but I want to write about it again because thinking about Easter brings back many happy memories of my childhood.
My mother would start preparing for Easter two days before by boiling the eggs. I think maybe about 12. After boiling them, we had to wait for them to cool. In the meantime, we prepared several cups of water with food coloring. I think the colors were red, green, blue, and yellow. When the eggs were ready, we drew designs on the eggs with white wax crayons. Then, we dipped the eggs in the cups with food coloring using a wire dipper. The water colored the eggs except for the part that we drew on with the wax crayons.
On Easter, after going to church, we would have an Easter egg hunt at home. Our parents would hide the eggs. It was so exciting. My brother and I would frantically search for the eggs. However sometimes later in the summer, while I was outside playing, I would stumble on an egg hidden somewhere that we forgot to look. I showed it to my mother and we all had a big laugh.
Challenge Time!
1. What was the first step in preparing for Easter?
2. What did we use to make designs on the eggs?
3. How many color eggs were there?

I can see that Your back memory is full of your mom’s affection .
She must have been proud of handsome and smart cute little boys.
Egg hunting is one of those things which we can never do when we grew up . Really good memory, John . Thank you for sharing!
Thank-you for your kind words. What I miss most are the chocolate easter eggs and chocolate bunnies!
