We found the missing egg!

Was it under the floorboards kicking around the bilge? Was it tucked in the pantry behind the settee cushions? Was it in the hanging rope locker?

Noooo...it was in the Easter Candy bag.

Just goes to show you we don't eat nearly enough chocolate if it took us 9 days to notice it in only bag of sweets on board.

I can't tell you how happy I am to have found that blue egg. I've had a limited amount of exposure to rotten Easter eggs but even one will leave a lasting impression on a kid. For instance...one year on the 4th of July we went back over the mountains to visit Grandpa and Grandma in Hayden, CO, and under a green chair in the front room we found an egg from our Easter visit. Uncle Donald took Michelle and I outside and cracked that sucker open, eeewww! It smelled just like that water Grandpa tried to dose us with every morning from the Springs in Steamboat, double eeewww!!!

I went to grab a link for Hayden and found that not only does Hayden have its own website but also an entry at Wikipedia! How odd is that? Great photo of the town in 1942 though.
