Easter 2015

I was very blessed to spend Easter Weekend with the Spell family. It started with a trip to Shangri-La in Orange and ended with a very lively Easter Egg Hunt at the "new house" in Orange. I want you to know, the Spell grandchildren take their egg hunting seriously as there are many dollars at stake. Hope you enjoy the pictures - I believe I got some great snapshots. And who could have known, tucked in the middle of Orange, Texas is the beautiful oasis left to us by Lutcher Stark - Shangri-La.

The Easter Lillies were scattered throughout the property and were absolutely beautiful.

The Epiphyte House smelled fabulous and reminded me of Hawaii. 

Look at the turtles!

Deedle Deedle, ever the compliant one!

And then, the event - dying Easter Eggs and the hunt. Aunt Dee and Aunt Jeanie boiled 72 eggs for the little ones to dye.

And the star of the show!

This photo doesn't show the battle scars Miss Dixie received the day before Easter. She was attacked by a chicken with blue feathers. She will tell you all about it if you ask.
