A Diary of Small Things

In everyone's life, even in the darkest places, there is something that brings them happiness. My name is Cliff Cumber, and this is my attempt to find those moments and catalog them day-by-day with a photo, a drawing, a line or two.

If you feel inspired, I hope you'll join me. One moment of joy, every day.

Only one time in a year, I promise, will I make that pun. Seriously.

So it was Easter this weekend, a time to gather together family, to eat, to make merry, to color and hunt for eggs.

This is always a fun affair. This year, my son has reached an age and level of coordination where he could join in.

He must be a distant relative of Henry Ford. Two-dozen eggs colored — admittedly not very well — in a matter of minutes.

Plunk: “Another.”
Plunk: “Another.”
Plunk: “Another.”
Plunk: “Another.”
Plunk: “Another.”

You get the idea.

Daddy, who painstakingly, obsessively only colored two eggs total with multiple washes, dryings and more washes, did encourage the kiddies to go back in and re-coat.

Why? I’m not sure, really. Trying to hang on to the day’s egg-citement.

Hah!
