On that Easter came the biggest ice storm I had ever seen until the ice storm in 1994. When we woke early that morning we knew that we would not be able to get outside to hide or hunt Easter eggs. Mama solved that problem for us when she said we could hide them in the house. So, we got busy boiling eggs and coloring them with Mama’s cake coloring. When we finished they looked beautiful. They were red, blue, green and yellow. We took turns hiding them. We were a happy bunch of kids. The ice storm didn’t hinder us a bit. After I married into the Teel family I became a part of the family Easter tradition. After we all attended church together on Easter Sunday, there would always be an announcement at the end of service. “Easter Egg Hunt at Mattie Teel’s house at 2 p.m.” Everyone was invited to come and bring eggs for hiding. The yard would always be filled with kinfolks, neighbors and lots of children. The men would go out behind the house and hide eggs in the wooded area. That’s what the “good old days” were about, family and friends getting together to fellowship and have fun. Many of you who read this will remember coming to some of these Easter egg hunts.
