Richmond, Indiana - Decorating eggs around the Easter
Holiday that was a fun time for the three of us children. I
am sure it was a happy time for our Mother too. After all
the cooking, shopping, entertaining, company, church. I knew
when started lining the kitchen table with newspaper was the
start of a magical day for me. Mom probably wished she could
wrap me up with newspaper. I was going to end up with purple
fingers for days and spots on my clothes. Adding that fizzy
die to the vinegar water was always such anticipation! What
designs would we come up with this year?
My sister, Ruthie, always colored several purple ones for
that was her favorite color. George, my brother, couldn’t
resist dipping at least one egg in all of the 6 dye colors
to create his special egg. He thought it was special and it
was a pretty “uke color”! And me I can’t remember, ever,
coloring that perfect egg. But most of them were a pretty
pastel color. My Dad, he didn’t care as long as they were
editable. Now that I am older I would rather eat the eggs
instead of coloring them. But when I was younger I wouldn’t
dare eat those precious eggs. This is an old but simple
recipe, but very tasty! Happy Easter!
