A Childhood Remembrance

A Childhood Remembrance Reflecting on the week's significance as Easter, I remembered when I was a how we'd go to my Grandfather's Pond as a HUGE family...his six had twelve grandchildren and we'd all gather, plus a few cousins and friends. Seldom were there less than the dozen or so surrounded by twenty or more adults. We'd always have an Easter Egg hunt and each brought six eggs for the adults to hide. The younger uncles like Uncle Clyde and Uncle Sam and maybe Aunt Mary, would hide out behind the pond cabin under the pines the nearly one hundred eggs. They always counted them and the hunt wa snot officially over until all the eggs were accounted for! When I was about seven and still in those cute little blue short pants with socks up to my knees, I found the Golden Egg, but it was in a tall purple thistle and all I could do was cry. You might say I was indeed a "cry baby"...LOL My cousin Lin, a year older, saw me crying and came over to see why and when he saw the Golden egg, he took a stick and knocked it out! He got the prize for finding the Golden Egg! It was so unfair. Life has taught me a lot of unfair lessons, but thinking about that makes me remember that just because you have found the Golden Egg, doesn't meanyou get the prize! |

Nice memory in that you learned something from it. I remember one Easter a childhood friend and her family invited me to Cherry Creek Hills Country Cub for their annual Easter egg. All the kids had baskets and were allowed free range of the course all 18 holes of it for one hour. What I remember was how rude and selfish for young children the kids of the CCHCC members were. Many of us had no idea where the course went and none of t hem were very nice to the rest of us. It was a lesson to always office your hand to a stranger (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group
