Easter Joy

H and I welcome Easter each year with a blend of families and traditions.  The tables are rich and inviting with the everyday dishes from my great-aunt mingling with Mom’s wedding china.  Hand-embroidered tablecloths sewn by my husband’s aunt brighten the scene.  Our own mix of ornamentation, collected over the years, adds another layer of memories.  It’s like having all of our loved ones, past and present, here to celebrate with us on this happy occasion.
