How many adults have a box of crayons in their homes?
I do - I have a small box of 8 of the fat crayons for preschoolers and a big box of the regular crayons in 64 different colors. We break them out of the crafts box when kids come over for a visit. I can teach young ones how to draw several different flowers with stems and leaves, a duck and a rabbit. My grandmother taught me how to draw a pansy - they were her favorite flowers- when I was just a little kid. I hope some day in the future a grown kid will think of me and the flowers I taught him or her how to draw.

This is an early Easter but I’m ready for it.
Easter always means spring is here, there are baby ducks and baby chicks and Easter eggs and lots of candy.
All the fun of family and good food without the stress of having to buy everyone presents. What’s not to like?
My grandparents used to host an Easter egg hunt at their house for all the grandchildren and cousins. It was always a couple dozen kids running around the yard with baskets and a house full of grown ups eating ham and potato salad and singing rowdy English songs all afternoon. Great fun, great memories.
