You might think they are nothing alike!

One is an American who came to fame on "The Mickey Mouse Club and one is a Brit who came to fame as a staunch political leader. 

But...they are alike in that they were both strong role models for young women and stood fast to their beliefs. 

It is a sad day due to the loss of these two ladies.  May they rest in peace.

Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher:  10/13/25 - 4/8/13

Annette Funicello:  10/22/42 - 4/8/13

If you don't know much about either of these women, i suggest you Google them to see what an impact they had on women through the years.

Facebook is crazy right now with recipes and it made me start thinking about Easter traditions and foods. I'm sure many people are trying to think of something special or different to prepare for their family Easter dinners....and this might just be the treat.

I found this recipe for a Greek Easter Bread and thought I'd share it with you.  And...along with the bread, you'll need to dye some eggs RED to represent the blood of Christ and to finish the traditional presentation of the bread. 

Here are the Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk
• 4 1/2-5 1/2 cups flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
• 3 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 teaspoons orange sezt
• 2 teaspoons vanille extract
  

Directions:

I think I'll pass this on to Mom to try this year!  (She's much more a pro in the kitchen than I'll ever be!) The bread sounds yummy and would also be a great new tradition to begin for our family!  On top of that, it helps to remind us about the TRUE meaning of Easter!
