Friendly Fill-In 14 April 2017

This is a fun meme co-hosted by McGuffy's Reader and 15 and Meowing. Be sure to visit and join in the fun!



Here are the fill-ins:

1. An Easter (or Passover) tradition I have is nothing really.

In years gone by, Easter meant hunting Easter eggs.  We usually would go over to Granny-For-Short’s house and have Easter lunch.  It was usually ham and all the side dishes you can imagine.

Our family fell apart when Papa Bruce died.  We have all been spread around everywhere.   

There was a time when we would go to church on Easter Sunday.  Everyone would be dressed up in their new Easter clothes.  There really is no church home for us out here.  Church just isn’t the same out here.

2. My favorite flavor of ice cream is vanilla.

I know that sounds boring.  But, it is what I like.  I like Blue Bell Ice Cream.  I do like chocolate, butter pecan, and a few others.  Blue Bell makes some cobbler ice creams.  One is blackberry.  It is very good.  Another is peach; it is very good, too.   

3. One of my favourite Easter/Passover memories is...                                             We are a  VERY poor family so the explanation is below.

There was one year, many years ago, when there was NO money for the

Easter Bunny.  The babies were still at that age when they believed.  Well, our oldest daughter knew there was not going to be an Easter Bunny that year.  So, she had been saving candy from when she was given candy at church and other places.  She rounded up buckets from past Easters and made all the kids an Easter Bucket of their own.

It was a very sweet thing she did and it sticks with me every Easter.

4. My favourite Spring flower is there are so many.

Out here on the Texas Gulf Coast, we are treated to a bouquet of many different types of wildflowers.   I guess if I had to pick an absolute favorite it would have to be a flowering plum tree and/or dogwood tree.  I know technically they are not flowers.  They do have flowers though.

I think the bluebonnets are beautiful.  The Indian Blankets we saw this year

are amazing as well.  I think most flowers are very beautiful   Even those many called weeds.  Back in the day, the dandelion was on of my favorite flowers.  We called them “Blow Flowers” when they turned to seed.  My father, who loved his grass, would not agree so much.

We finally got some dandelions in our yard here in Texas.  I think Suzanne took their picture.                       

Well, have a great weekend.  So far, it looks like ours will be uneventful.  I don’t know of any thing we need to do or anyplace we need to go for a while.  Shoot, right now, as long as the food holds out, we should not need to leave the yard.
