New Orleans has a lot to recommend it ... when it doesn't rain too much! Oh, Val, I could tell some stories about the floods when we were growing up.

We were caught in the "floody" season in New Orleans one year. Hairy stuff! You description of the Easter outfits is so vivid I thought I smelled starch. We got giant Easter baskets too, complete with giant bunny in the middle. My family reuses the Easter baskets now. Great post.

We also do the Passover feast but that holiday is a month later than Easter this year.

Since I grew up in California, it was often warm on Easter Sunday. My folks decided one year that they'd get a little extra sleep by putting the Easter eggs in the yard the night before. We came back home from church that morning and all 4 of us raced out to find our eggs. Naturally, we also ate them. I'm not sure whose memory of that Sunday is more traumatic: mine, because the eggs gave me food poisoning, or my mothers' because she had to take care of four children all sick with it.
