Happy Easter! Easter is the most important day of the Christian religion.The rising sun is the symbol of Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The date of Easter is not always the same because it is related to the full moon and the position of the sun over the equator. The earliest possible date is March 22nd; the latest is April 22nd. The easter egg symbolizes birth and a new beginning. The tradition of coloring and exchanging eggs was started by the ancient Egyptians. There are many ways you can join in on the fun of coloring and decorating your own Easter eggs. In research I found this interesting and wanted to share it with you.

I recently made a phone call to my classmate Lois Warren Tynes and she had some exciting news to tell me. She had a new great-grandbaby. Her name is Lainey Jo, born on January 4th at Our Lady of the Angels Hospital in Bogalusa. She weighed 8 lbs 15 oz. Congratulations to proud parents Mr and Mrs. Dillon Tynes. By the way, Lainey Jo was the first baby of the New Year at the Bogalusa hospital. She has an older sister, seven year old Autumn.
