Many folks seek out their church of choice to celebrate
Easter’s concept of hope and new life where once only darkness existed. At
least that is my take on the holiday. Me?
I never attend church.
I energize my spirit by watching the birds splash
in a puddle, or by inhaling the fresh sweet breeze rustling in the trees. Did
you know my mom was born on Easter? I think maybe she embraces a deep insight about this holiday even though
she jokes that the Easter Bunny mistook
her for an egg.
If Easter is a special day, I imagine it is because the
holiday is a celebration of what spring represents. The season is nature’s reward for those, who
held on to their faith throughout the dark winter, that all would be provided.
The afterlife is of no concern to me, since I have nine
lives to live. In addition, I live in the present, a concept in which others
struggle. My philosophy allows me to be free and enjoy my life. In order to help you celebrated I would like
to pass on an Easter decorating tip and a game the entire
family can play.
Aren’t these peeps the cutest? All you have to do is rinse out and save those eggs shells from breakfast and then grab a cotton ball and glue it to the inside of the shell. Next
make the cut out for the eyes and nose, color it, and glue it on the cotton
ball.
This morning I discovered several of these peeps in my
Easter Basket. I can’t wait to bat them around, hide them and watch Judy look
for them.
I am excited to introduce to everyone a new Easter
tradition, Easter Egg Rolling. Judy explained that every
Easter her family gathered in the typically, large kitchen of her grandmother’s
house. Everyone, -adults and children, family and friends - brought their
personalized eggs, which they had painstakingly decorated. They often brought
extras because the competition could become fierce. I suggest you do the same.
Rolling Easter eggs requires decorated, hard-boiled eggs. This
year, as the quality control expert, I assisted Judy in the process of boiling
and dying the eggs.
1.
Place the Easter Egg Ramp on a smooth surfaced
floor. Judy’s grandmother’s kitchen floors was linoleum. A concrete patio is perfect.
2.
Place your beautiful, prize winning decorated egg
at the top of the ramp and let go.
3.
Watch the egg wobble down the ramp, veer off,
either to the left or the right, and come to a stop. Exciting so far
right?
When I watch this game, I can hardly contain myself from
jumping up and batting the egg. If you
are the first inline to roll your egg, you have nothing to worry about.
4.
Here’s where it gets more exiting. The next
person to roll his or her egg will be aiming for your egg.
5.
If any of the players’ eggs hits your egg, you
have to pay him the required fee. The fee in grandmother’s kitchen was a penny.
I think the fee should be raised to twenty-five cents.
What happens when
your egg is hits another? If hit hard
enough, it will develop a dent, thus impairing it rolling speed and
distance. As the game progresses, the
dented eggs stops closer to the ramp, increasing the odds of being hit.
Sometimes there are so many dents, it stops at the end of the ramp. Time for
that spare egg you brought.
That’s the new, inexpensive
family tradition I want to see go viral. I can visualize this game being called
Christmas Egg Rolling and Halloween Egg Rolling. For those of you who are against exposing your
children to violence, let’s replace that Piñata. When playing Birthday Egg
Rolling, the fees could be treats instead of money.
There you go ,my peeps. Stay tuned for video from the 2016 Easter Egg Rolling completion. I will be hanging around with my friends who will be competing against me. I’m studying their moves and psyching them out . If anyone wants to order a ramp or get the specs to make their own, contact me.
Contact me.
Have a Happy Easter! Happy Spring!, Happy Life!!
Stay tuned for egg rolling videos.
COMING SOON!
