For those of you that mediate with me, you will know I love to decorate.
Easter is one occasion that gets me going. I have been collecting rabbits and chicks for years and now they form a Easter Parade on my dining room table. Leading the parade this year are Mr. & Ms. Bunny, who are chalkware. Vintage chalkware is made of plaster of paris and decorated with watercolors. Chalkware dates from the 1910s to 1940s. In another room, I have my Mrs. Bunny 1950s plastic blow mold that lights up and my vintage bunny holding a pink bulb in his mouth. It should be an orange bulb since carrots are not pink but close enough.
Happy Easter!
Quote for the month:
Gobsmacked--this is a British slang term for when you have been left speechless or stopped dead in your tracks. I have been gobsmacked by your behavior.

Atticus Finch, Perry Mason and Michael Clayton Have Nothing on the Legal Profession's Favorite Attorney - Vinny
By Jacob Gershman | March 13, 2017
Vinny Gambini flunked his bar exam five times before passing it, which is among the reasons he is admired by Joseph F. Anderson Jr. , a federal judge in South Carolina.
"Despite the many setbacks he endures, Vinny's devotion to his clients and the cause of justice never waivers," the judge wrote. "The lesson here: Good lawyers are not quitters."
