Easter Bunnies in France? Nope, But There is Chocolate

My brother Marty and I.

Easter 1961

We had matching sailors outfits. I wore a bonnet, gloves and carried a white patine purse. Easter meant new clothes for church, waking up early and running outside, searching for our Easter baskets in the garden, mine was by the purple irises. Easter meant hard-boiled eggs dyed in bright colors. The colors I liked, the eggs not so much.

Easter in France means the church bells ring and ring and ring, there isn't an Easter bunny here, it is the church bells that spread the chocolates far and wide! We live next to the church yet I have never seen any Chocolates fly by. 

 

Sacha and Chelsea are home. Sacha informed me that he expected Easter eggs and a chocolate bunny. Did he really think I would forget?

Personal news: Thierry is doing a million times better and I hope it lasts forever. Jean Luc has started to walk. Both of them appreciate all that you have offered. Annie is doing well too. Thank you for the many cards, Annie loves them. My family back home are fine. Life is sweet these days and I am thankful. 

What about you? How are you?

  1. Thank you for the updates. It is nice to hear that everyone is on the mend and that Annie is well. I love that we in cyberland feel close to the people in your circle. Me? I am well, partly because I have Tongue in Cheek to look forward to every day. It enriches my life. Many thanks C:)

  2. Thank you for the good reports, Corey! All remain in my prayers. The triumph that is Easter is proof that there is nothing He can’t overcome. Thank you for your continued prayers on my behalf; with Him there is hope and that is where I put my trust.

  5. Thank you for the news! So wonderful, prayers answered. I am thankful for everything, just wish my daughter would be home tomorrow – she is with her boyfriends family. I am learning or teaching myself to accept her choices – gulp! Have a blessed Easter!

  6. Happy Easter Corey and family. That pic is So-o-ooo cute! I, too, enjoyed the update.

  7. Good new all around for Easter. Best wishes to you, family, friends, and Annie.
    For me family will be around my Easter table tomorrow along with a couple friends. The bunny is busy getting ready to hide the eggs out in the grass. No bells delivering chocolate, just the bunny here. Smiling!

    Yes, I remember the Easter Bonnets when I was little. Every little girl had to have a new Easter dress and Easter hat! I so looked forward to Easter and the Easter egg dyeing & hunting with my brothers. Now, my 3 granddaughters are experiencing the joys of Easter. However, they don’t like going to 7:00 a.m. mass! Haha!
    Happy Easter to you and yours Corey!

    Loved your Easter Feast photos and Communion Prayer which I printed and shared at our Easter Feast last night with close friends as our extended family was on Spring Break vacation. Thank you Corey for all your beautiful photos and blogging
