Easter Eggs and other Memories

I need to come clean. Mom and I are the ones that put Easter eggs up every year at my aunt and uncles house.
It was so much fun. The year we did the bathroom up in the Easter motif was the best.
Over the years we had a lot of fun with Anna and Kenny.
I remember when Anna painted a front bedroom with either sponge or feathers. We thought it was silly, and yet years later we were all doing it. She did not know she was a trendsetter at the time.
I remember a great trip to Chicago when Anna wanted to go to culinary school. I got to take a great taxi ride, rode the El for the first time, and took the South Shores train on a Friday evening, which is evidently party time. I spent a lot of time getting to know Anna that weekend, and it is still a fond memory.
Mom and Dad asked Anna and Kenny to take in my sister and I if anything ever happened to my parents. That would have been interesting. Five girls in one room, me with my own, as least that is how I envisioned it.
I remember being at their house during a tornado. Someone mentioned Kenny watching the weather, and it brought back that memory.
I remember the backyard pond on Pine Street. The side yard where we used to play. I remember watching their house during their trips to Kansas, Chicago, or anywhere else they went. I always watched Top Gun on their big screen t.v. It seemed so cool on the big screen.
I remember a lot, 90% of it fond, some of it not. But I like to focus on the 90%.
We had a lot of good times, that is why I like family. Tomorrow I will talk about my other cousins, and maybe tell Amy that she is not adopted.
