Walk Like an Egyptian

Egypt is a pretty "hot" topic lately, especially if you talk to Mom. Apparently she had a wonderful time climbing around on the ancient pyramids. I'm sure glad she got to go. I'm doubly sure my children would've like to have gone. They were fascinated by the study we did on Ancient Egypt a couple of years ago in school. I wonder if Mom learned how to walk like an Egyptian. Hmmm!!

Possibly the heiroglyphics looked something like this. (Translation: Possibly the hieroglyphics looked something like this.)

Well we had a wonderful Easter here in sunny, hot, and dry South Mississippi. If any of you "northerners" have any extra rain you could send down here, our flowers would sure appreciate it. It is abnormally dry here. The dust is driving my allergies crazy. The children are even starting to sneeze.

At Easter we had several relatives and friends over for a home-cooked meal. There was Vince's mom and dad, his sister and her family, Uncle Forrest, Aunt Elaine, Belinda and Mikell. We also invited Katie to come. She is far away from home and was very glad to have something to do instead of hang out in her RV. We ate brisket this year along with various and sundry side dishes, casseroles, and salads. We had a couple of choices for dessert, a chocolate cake and strawberry trifle. Yummy! The annual Easter Egg Hunt followed. The children were searching for a whopping 112 eggs. Wow! They found them all (thank goodness).

I'm sorry it has taken me a long time to add to this. I guess if you never read, you'll never know what fun we have here. I'll try for once a week. We'll see how it goes.
