2012 the daily post - photo journal

2012 begins the forth year of my somewhat, Daily Post. It's a gallery or photo journal, of my photography that reflects the in's and out's, the up's and down's and everthing in between. Some days the photo's may be better than the commentary, while other days, the commentary is much better than the photo. No promises that either will be very good. Anyway, it's my way. It's about what's going on in my little section of this crazy world. Enjoy! Kris :D

<br />
Having been raised Catholic, we went to church every Sunday as a family, but Easter Sunday; Easter Sunday was very special. Every year we had something new to wear; a dress, hat, coat or shoes and sometimes, it was head-to-toe new. I remember the years that my mother made me a dress. For weeks, I would get to try it on and she would pin and tailor it to fit perfectly. The anticipation and excitement of seeing it finished was that of like Christmas. I believe all the dresses and coats in this photo were handmade by either my mother or grandmother. The night before Easter we would get our outfits together; Dress, hose, shoes, coat & hat, all hanging ready to go. We each had our own Easter basket that we set outside along with carrots and lettuce for the Easter Bunny. I’ll never forget the one year we went to open the back door to get our Easter baskets and there was a real live bunny sitting out there. There was a flurry to kitchen to get more carrots for him. Our Easter baskets were always amazing with a big chocolate bunny in the middle and various candy and little toys surrounding. How special we all felt heading off to church to celebrate Easter. <br />
