February 24, 2014 As I wandered up to the front of Grandma’s old timbered house, I heard the singing of Grandma’s antique oak rocking chair. As I turned the corner, I observed my grandma, Barbara and my daughter, Brenda, rocking and giggling on the washed out wooden front porch. Brenda was wearing a pink lace chiffon Easter dress with embroidered white flowers, and Grandma had her favorite navy blue sweater on with her Sunday dress underneath.

They had changed out of their Sunday best and were ready for the egg hunt to begin. My oldest nephew, Todd, was so excited he was still pulling up his green and white basketball shorts as he stumbled through the door. Right behind him was little Timmy; he is like a bumper car at the carnival, bumping into the walls because his red polo shirt got stuck around the top of his head.
