Hi all!
Karen, I saw the "Ty" posts. Don't know anything. Congrats on the lion costume.
On the purple eggs:
Am I the only one who understood what he was thinking with the purple eggs? (At least I think he was talking about pickled red beet eggs.) Just had to look it up and it's another Pennsylvania Dutch thing. Haven't seen them since I was a kid, but I'll share the recipe I found for those who are trying to understand this concept.

Red Beet Eggs
Heres how the Pennsylvania Dutch make hard-boiled eggs tastier and more colorful. Great for summertime picnics.
2 quarts boiled red beets
1 ½ cups cider vinegar
2 ½ cups sugar
2 dozen hard boiled eggs
In a saucepan bring beets, vinegar, and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat. Peel eggs. Add eggs to beet mixture when still hot. Cool and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Serve.

I keep missing Kristina's kind calls to give me a heads up. Sorry Kristina!!
The drive to St. Louis is about 2 hours so we all settled in for the drive. DH hooked our new car DVD player up and the kids watched The Little Mermaid.
