By Anita Garner<\/p>\n

This week, the Grand and I will prepare an Easter surprise for her Mother.\u00a0 A card and something chocolate, that’s the routine. It was easy in elementary school days.\u00a0 Cotton balls and macaroni were supplies of choice.<\/p>\n

She took me to her room and showed me the secret card made at school, hidden away for the big day.\u00a0 After graduating from gluing macaroni onto things her cards matured into interesting combinations of construction paper, felt and cotton and were signed with many xxxx’s and oooo’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A trip to See’s Candies and we were handled.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Soon the cards came from a store. She was drawn to corny jokes and puns and Mom was a good sport about it.\u00a0 The sentiment was circumstantial, based on which displays the Grand could reach.\u00a0 She picked up whatever attracted her and asked me to read the words inside. Her card to her Mother one year featured a monkey.\u00a0 Another year it was two cartoon rabbits insulting each other.<\/p>\n

Me (reaching up for hearts and flowers): \u201cLook at this one.”<\/p>\n

She: “But this one’s hilarious.”<\/p>\n

When she was tall enough to reach any rack, her tastes grew more sophisticated. Now’s she’s good at making anything her imagination conjures. We’ll find out soon whether this year’s offering is a giggle or an awwww.<\/p>\n
