HA That year, sans the 6 months of snow, was really nice and we made some wonderful friends. Let's just say I was glad to move back south. The North Pole has nothing on that place. Brrrrr BTW.

My mother had three girls stair stepped in five year increments. She would sew new and matching dresses for us each year. We would have the lacy socks and patent leather slippers, and a hat. Oh, yes, and a beautiful Easter basket. After church, my father would drive us over to our grandmother's to show her how we looked all dressed up, and then it was off to an Easter Egg Hunt in Fairfield Park. (My sister Sue & I were really the wild outdoorsy types. I was the youngest, and Sue was the was in the middle, and Anita was the young teen beauty.) I am sure I never said thank you. Thank you, Mother & Dad.<BR/>And thank you, V for such beautiful Easter images.FireLighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807248509319526615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-11534494946427894182009-04-08T08:49:00.000-05:002009-04-08T08:49:00.000-05:00When I was a little girl, my Granny would send my ...When I was a little girl, my Granny would send my sister and I Easter dresses.

When I grew up in the Midwest, after church on Easter, we would drive to "certain areas" to watch the women exiting church with their Easter hats.
