Imagine finding this treasure in your Easter basket! This Fabergé enamel egg from 1890 is sure to send the hearts-a-hopping, as will the tale of the egg itself. Story goes that in 1885, the Russian Tsar Alexander III decided to give his wife, the Empress Maria Fedorovna, an Easter Egg to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their betrothal. The Empress so loved her gift that Alexander gave the Mr. Fabergé himself full creative freedom to whip up the most delightful of Imperial Eggs for future Easter celebrations. There was only one stipulation – each egg must contain a surprise. Hmm, how’s that for sparking some Easter Egg Hunt memories?

I'm impressed by many people in this world.

Bethany Hamilton is one of them.

Courage means you don't let fear stop you."

I'm Still There

* * * * *

I have returned home from a vacation in the sun.

But strangely, I brought it back with me: the mental relaxation

I felt while I was there; the inner peace; the fun; the enjoyment of life...

I've been home 5 days and it feels like I'm still there.

Not my surroundings. Not my daily routine.

But something inside that says I feel so good I can barely stand myself, right here in my beloved Michigan.

Imprints made that will last forever.

So yes, kids - to answer your question from texts and e-mails:

I had a most wonderful vacation....in which I'm still reveling!
