I always had my patent leather shoes and pocketbooks, and of course the straw hat and even gloves. I remember the way we used to dress up on Easter. I used to get a new coat every year when I got older and had a job. I always hid the little chocolate eggs for my kids, made baskets and colored the eggs. Oh how I hated coloring those eggs. They made such a mess. But I loved the things my grandmother made. They were like giant cookies wrapped around an egg. They had frosting and colored sprinkles or something on them. I used to eat the cookie but not the egg. I don't like eggs unless they're chocolate.

Don't dress up anymore for Easter. I think I'm having my kids over and cooking come to think of it. Sometimes we go to my duaghter's house, but I think I'm doing it this year.
