Grandma's Cottage          
 

Just as we start the second week of March, we are ready to plow out from another winter storm.  I'm looking at about a half foot of snow out in our yard.  It wouldn't surprise me at all to see more unsettled weather over the next couple of weeks.  It seems that the old season of winter is in conflict with the milder, new season of spring that will start on the 21st.  Soon enough, winter will realize it's futile to fight and will surrender to spring.

Iv'e been dreaming of pussywillows, forsithia, tulips, jonquils, and lilacs.  Easter is just about a month away.  I would love to spend tthat day at the beach just like my Mom did for so many years.  We would take our whole Easter Dinner of sliced ham, potato salad, baked beans and ambrosa salad and have an easter egg hunt with the children.  The kids always got kites in their baskets and the beach was the best place for them to try them out.

Today is a great day for a dinner of chilli and home baked bread!  I have the meat thawing already.  Time to get going and get some housework done.

Ive been trying for years to bring the family easter tradition back to the beach. Some of my fondest memories of Gram are the cold windy beach days searching for plastic filled eggs. It was always great when we found one with a quarter in it! lol Now that Sally is growing older and some time has passed, I want to give her those same memories. All of us piled into the big yellow Suburban with nothing but food and adventure on our minds. And dont forget.... its Raymond, Epping, Brentwood, Exeter and the Beach! Yup, that just brought me back!
