VINEGAR

     I absolutely hate the smell of vinegar and sustain myself from the nauseating smell till once a year Easter Egg coloring comes around. For those who haven't heard about the smelly trick, consider yourself lucky. The vinegar is supposed to brighten the color of the dyed eggs and bring them to full pop art potential.

   

  On a side note Preparation H not only helps with...well we all know...but also assists (yes I said also) in puffiness of skin around your eyes. Now there have been some mornings I wake up with bee stung eyes but you don't see me applying ass cream to my face! So, Vinegar is not necessary.

 

   In the meantime I grin and bear it because I truly love this fun tradition! With or with out a child of my own I still enjoy coloring eggs as much as making baked goods at Christmas. But everything is always good with friends! So this year, Angelina's other mother, Kim, joined in! 

Living in the the PNW we are blessed with so many beautiful colors in late Spring and Summer. Winter has drug on too long this year and the gray rainy days have been getting to me. Looking at all these beautiful colors makes me feel like I'm in another world ; maybe even somewhere inside a Dr. Seuss book!

"Green Days.
Deep deep in the sea.
Cool and quiet fish. That's me.

On Purple Days
I'm sad. I groan.
I drag my tail.
I walk alone.

But when my days
are Happy Pink  

it's great to jump

and not just think."

~Dr. Seuss
