Why I like Easter

A wee little Duff with a bunny friend

When I was little, I loved hunting for candy on Easter morning. My dad was an expert candy-hider. He tucked individual jelly beans in between the keys of the piano, carefully perched foil-wrapped eggs on the narrow ledges of the floor boards and left gumdrops on the buttons of the cassette player in the living room. He would leave little piles of candy on the steps and perch a chocolate bunny on top of the toilet paper roll (causing major giggles from my brother and me). My mom says that he started hiding candy as soon as my brother and I went to bed the night before, sometimes working on the task for well over an hour. He did such a good job, that we usually found stray jelly beans around the house well into May! This weekend, I will be remembering my sweet dad and thinking of the hundreds of tiny candies that he lovingly hid for us over the years. I'll see you Monday for a big shop update!
