Thank you so much for bringing my memories back to me.

love your pictures and your simple prompt "remembering".
in the first shot (one of my favorites) - breakfast at saturday market- did you just set your camera down on the sidewalk and set the timer, run back to your seat and pretend it wasn't there? you have a lot of great shots that i wonder this about.
ps. LOVE the santa&frosty pj's. my kids are wild about both

The egg coloring at our house is done the old fashioned way. My in laws taught us to add the paper skin that surrounds onions and garlic to boiling water with the eggs for natural egg coloring. Yellow onions create a range of colors from gold to mahogany browns. Garlic paper creates a much redder color. It is amazing and completely natural. We can always distinguish the hard boiled eggs in the egg bin. My grown children stop in for a visit, open the refrigerator and pull out a hard boiled egg snack without even thinking about it after years of naturally colored eggs. Even their friends know about this egg trick so another generation will keep this unusual tradition practiced by my father in law's family alive.
