Easter Sunday

My my..my last blog was a Halloween blog, and now Easter has come and gone already.  But Bobby posted a little about the egg roll and I thought I'd add a little more.  First of all, we didn't get even 1 picture of Brian on Easter.  I thought we got everyone rolling eggs and didn't realize until later that he didn't participate.  He claimed to have a bad back, but I wonder if he didn't want to face the agony of defeat.  Or maybe he just knew to stay away from Julie where hard boiled eggs and sticks were involved.  The intent was to softly and quickly push your egg around the course we'd set up, trying not to crack your egg.  Julie actually sent one of her eggs airborne once.  I saw something coming at me out of the corner of my eye; yep, Julie's egg.  When she and Jill "rolled" their eggs, you could hear the stick Whacking the egg.  Not a good sound when you don't want to crack your egg.  And once Erin and Jill were accompanying Judy around the course, and coming up the hill Judy fell and it was a hoot.  Erin and Jill were laughing so hard.  Well, okay, we all were laughing so hard.  And Pam actually managed to get the yolk of her egg to break free from the shell once; sort of neat.  Mark Wagner was a good competitor, and when Mark Tabler won he offered Kevin another chance to compete, but Kevin graciously accepted defeat.  Or maybe he was just too tired to try again, or was more interested in watching a game on tv.  Erin never tires out and loved rolling the eggs.  She was pretty good at it, too.
 Anyway, the egg roll was a success and will be a yearly event.  It was followed by the egg hunt.  Thankfully the weather cooperated.

So much for my blog.  Maybe I'll blog again after Derby Day.
