Do you remember school bulletin boards?  Thank goodness some things are still the same as when I was a kid.  Photograph by Laney Griffin Robinson

Our decorated tree in the front yard.  Usually,, there are no flowers on it before Easter.  I guess I am going to have to cut the strings to get the eggs off because the tree is now leafy green.  Photograph by Ellen Palmer

We typically have a huge Easter party at my parent's, but due to health problems with both of them...they wanted a quiet Easter luncheon.  So no egg hunting with the big family gatherings this year.  Photograph by Grace Dorado-Foster

This baby bunny was found in our yard when we lived in Estral Beach, Michigan.  The kids all thought is was the cutest thing they had ever seen.  It is one of my favorite memories as a mom to see my young children marvel at nature.  Thank goodness for old photographs to help preserve the memory.  Photograph by Robin Anderson
