Happy Easter!! What a fabulous day to take joy in all of your many meaningful blessings!
Last night, I got out the Paas coloring kit and eggs. I bought the Tie-Dyed color for them and we sat around the table, talking about Easter's Past. Things we have done, places we have gone to celebrate the Holiday. We have gone to the White House and watched the Easter Egg roll. Enjoyed Ostersonntag in Germany and the wonderful confections they have there. The chocolate is creamier than that in the States. For a long time, we didn't spend Easter on the same continent two years in a row. But, it was always fun, and we always painted eggs.
I would love to invite you to my #BeautifulSunday! A challenge hosted by @Ace108, one that gives you an opportunity to share your day. Also, #SublimeSunday by @C0ff33a, a challenge that gives you to post random shots of anything, however, eclectic it is. So, join into the wonderful challenges! You know you want to! Happy Easter, all over again!
Oh, yes!! These are
real Easter eggs!! One of my neighbors didn't know they still existed! I kid you not! It just wouldn't seem like a traditional Easter without an Easter egg hunt with hard-boiled, freshly colored eggs. It just wouldn't. How do you celebrate Easter?
I am not sure who invented it, but, I truly love the tie-dye effect! The colors are so vibrant and make the eggs look so pretty!!
This is a vintage postcard I bought years ago. I framed it and got a small easel for it, and put it out on a small table near my couch around Easter. Last year, I liked it so much, I just left it - all year round.
I baked Italian Easter bread, but somebody ate some most of it before I could get a picture. She couldn't resist. It really incredibly delicious and the dough is light. This is the first year I made this type of frosting and I think it is a keeper. This is pretty close to what it actually looked like.
Grandma Cundari would be so proud of me for keeping up the family tradition. She is the one that taught me how to do it when I was so young, I needed a chair to stand on, just so I could stir the dough. It sounds weird, but, some days, I am faintly aware of her scent, whether imagined or not, it is like a warm hug on a cold day. My heart warms under those thoughts. I miss her. I loved her heart. It was beautiful.

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

I made some too! Well not for Easter but for Persian New Years.
Still have them so it has to count hehe.
Happy Easter!
WOW!!!!!!!!!
Did anyone ever tell you blue is your color!?!
The red and green eggs are sharp too ;)
I think it is awesome you are keeping those old traditions going like the egg bread. I would like to try it next year. Also I swear I am going to do the hollow sugar eggs with the scenes inside.
All kidding aside, you look amazing and I love when you share a bit of you with us!
Denise, I wish you and yours the very best Easter ever.
Thank you!!!!
I think you just did!
The egg bread is something that has been done since before I was born.
You should try it and I bet it will become your tradition too!
Next year, I want to see those hollowed out eggs!
Happy Easter, Paul!! To you and those 'chilluns!

Well I think I may have said it a time or two before lol. Say next year you better walk me through the bread making. You know I had it already confused LOL!!!
You make bread! You can even use your machine to mix the dough and rise! :)
But, of course, you know I will hold your hand through it all. I know how scary it can be! :)
Yes you know it is more fun that way. You always teach me a lot and have a few laughs along the way.

I hope that it has been a wonderful day and that you will stop at some point and do something a little special, maybe even watch a beautiful sunset and rejoice in the fact that it is a period of renewal. It sounds like you are out on the adventure of a lifetime and I hope everything has gone well!

A very nice mix of the colours for the eggs you made.
Have a good Sunday
Hi, Ace!! @ace108
It has been a most wonderful Sunday oh, it has been a beautiful Sunday and fact! Easter has been with its weather and temperatures. The weather has been incredibly beautiful with blue skies and Sun peeking out from the clouds. in fact perfect.
I will be the first to admit that we do love painting our Easter eggs and this year is no different. They're all different kinds of colors and we usually have a contest to see who can do the best egg. As you may or may not know, my artistic ability is 0 oh, so I did not win. But that was to be expected and I'm not upset. LOL
I hope you had a most wonderful Sunday and as always I want to thank you for hosting the #BeautifulSunday tag!
!tip
Yes, just enjoy the process.
Thanks for the tip.
Yes! It is the only thing I can do! LOL

Happy Easter, Denise. Your eggs look wonderful and what great traditions your family has. My son and I colored our quail eggs today. Now I have to get up early and hide them:)
I'm sure you wonder why I'm up till 2:30 in the morning right? I have Easter all put together and I am just getting off to bed but I have to get up in 2 hours for Sunrise Service oh, so who is being punished here?
Happy Easter to you!! 💖
I hope your day is filled with happiness and sunshine and that you have a most wonderful and festive holiday. I know I will be making big dinner and having some company and then tomorrow night I can fall face first into the bed at 6 p.m. or whenever company leaves. L o l
Of course, I'm kidding but I'm sure by tomorrow night I will be tired. So I wish you a wonderful day tomorrow and I'm sure that I will catch up with you and the rest of my comments sometime soon!
Happy Easter!!

What a beautiful post and I love the rolls and tie died eggs. I made a ham and sweet potato casserole and enjoyed a meal with my son. I didn't die eggs this time but you let me enjoy yours, so thank you. Hugs!

Happy Easter, my sweet friend! Thank you so much for the lovely words and thoughts on this wonderful day. Ham sounds wonderful to me and that is exactly what I had too! Isn't that the way we go, with the exception of the occasional lamb dinner at times.
Family tradition. Lamb or Ham. :)
Ohhhh! No eggs! That is fine, I have plenty for everyone! Happy Easter! Enjoy the rest of your day! Lots of love to you, Denise

Hugs! Lamb was never something I tried. I want a good deviled egg about now 💜. Thanks for the tip :)!

If you ever try lamb, you must get it from New Zealand. I think it is the only lamb that tastes amazing! :)
Oh, a deviled egg does sound delicious!
The tip is always my pleasure!
You're a doll @dswigle
