97 Year Old Grandpa Schools Rudy on How to Change a Tractor Tire

Rudy Fernandez — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:47:14 +0000

Over the Easter holiday weekend I spent some time with family. In fact, my wife Donna, our little girl Angie and I all went to Donna's grandma and grandpa Allison's house for Easter Sunday dinner. Over the course of the meal grandpa tells me that he has been working on his tractor and asked if I could help him locate a tire for his big Ford tractor. I told him I would take care of it and that he need not mess with it (after all he is 97 years old.) He then tells me "I've almost got it all the way off already."

You may or may not know this, but my faith is very important to me. Today is Good Friday, and the day that Christ died for my sins and yours. It’s hard for me to think of all the pain and abuse He endured, and the tears He cried for all of us, but I [...]

When you think of Easter eggs in the context of movies and television, you think of seeing stuff like the pizza delivery truck in all the Pixar movies, or J.J. Abrams using the faux slushie brand Slusho in each of his movies. But what about literal Easter eggs inspired by movies and TV shows? For this Easter [...]

Chris Chaberski — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:22:29 +0000

Ever wonder why some years Easter is in early April, sometimes late April, and sometimes—like this year—it’s in March? Why isn’t it a fixed date, like most other holidays? Well, it’s a bit complicated. First off, the simple answer: Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon that occurs on or after [...]

Any Interest in a $1K Easter Egg? You're in Luck — Go Here

Chris Illuminati — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:58:55 +0000

Ever frequent a restaurant just for the deserts? I’m talking about places more decadent than Friendly’s and their Fribble. Sugar and Plumm is that kind of joint. Sure, the food is great too, but the deserts are like an outtake from Willy Wonka’s wet dreams. This Easter, S&P is offering a $1,000 Easter egg for [...]

You may not be aware, but the Easter Bunny has been around for a long time. Easily one of the most recognizable symbols of the holiday, the loveable critter was first mentioned in an essay by German physician and botanist Georg Franck von Frankenau all the way back in 1682. Funny, we always figured he was just a Hallmark creation.

Places to Easter Egg Hunt in Abilene

Rudy Fernandez — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 05:37:47 +0000

If you're looking for places to Easter Egg Hunt this Easter in Abilene, I have good news and bad news.

First the bad news, the city-wide Easter Egg Hunt at Oscar Rose Park will not happen this year because according to one of the events organizers, New Hope Church Pastor Michael Chandler, said "I don't believe we were being very evangelical by simply hosting the egg hunt. We saw many people and we were never able to minister to them."

Now for the good news.

Danny Gallagher — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:25:12 +0000

Easter features some of the tastiest treats of all times like Cadbury Creme Eggs and Heavenly Hash. (But not Mini Eggs. Whoever invented those chalky chocolate tablets clearly didn’t get Easter candy as a kid and is trying to punish the rest of us.)

Marshmallow Peeps may also be a traditional Easter candy, but they are still good on every other day on the calendar.
