Almost Easter

Remember when all holidays had a special treat...granted Easter is a religious holiday and as a good Episcopalian I know the true meaning ...but when were kids .. the up side was an Easter basket filled with goodies...we were lucky enough to have great godmothers and Friends of my parents ,so more than one basket was a viable possibility..the thought of those days makes me giddy...the photo is of the three of us sisters...me the oldest...then Susie and little Kathleen

..we look very smug in our Easter finery and holding baskets...I'm sure my mother had wiped the chocolate off our face before this snap....when it came to chocolate ,we three were and still are nuts.....I can still remember that charm bracelet ..by the time I was in high school it was so full you couldn't stand having it on your wrist...

FYI...we three were almost traumatised by the big satin bows my mother was so fond of....I used to remove them on my way to school...ball them up in my pocket then tie them back on just before getting home after school...my mother always complained about how wrinkled my ribbons were ......lol.....I was about only a couple months shy of 8 yrs. old in this photo...that was April 1958...
