It's almost spring and only four weeks until Easter. I will be hosting the family this year and am beginning to make plans. But, as I plan ahead, I can't help looking back a little. My four grandchildren are all nearly grown up now but when they were younger I would hide plastic, candy filled (and some money filled) eggs inside and out side my house so they could enjoy an Easter egg hunt. There were rules with my hunts. I used four different colored eggs, and each child was to hunt for their own color. Once they had found all of their own eggs, usually eight or ten, they were allowed to help the others find theirs. I was a pretty good hider and there were usually one or two eggs that they really had to hunt for. I think they enjoyed it, but one memorable Easter my oldest granddaughter, maybe ten at the time, said to me "Is all our candy hidden or is there some already in our baskets?" When I assured her that there was some in their baskets, she replied "Oh good! I wouldn't want to have to work for all my candy."
