Here Comes Peter Cottontail

1) Which do you prefer: colored hard-boiled eggs, chocolate marshmallow eggs, or plastic eggs with coins inside? plastic eggs with treats inside

2) What's your favorite color of Peeps (yellow, purple, or pink)? I do not have a preference; I am not a fan of Peeps

3) All this talk of sweets is making Sam hungry. What's for lunch? probably a sandwich--but I don't know what type

4) This song was introduced by country singer Gene Autry and it's still a favorite. Please share some of the lyrics. (And you're on your own; Sam didn't include a link to the song this week.) "Hippety hoppity, Easter's on its way!"

5) Gene Autry was so popular that a town in Oklahoma named itself for him. Have you ever been to Oklahoma? no

6) He and his horse Champion also had a TV show. Can you name another famous horse? Mr. Ed

7) Gene Autry also recorded "Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer," and it was, of course, wildly popular, too. Who is your favorite recording artist? today I'll go with Sting

8) In 1950, the year Autry recorded this song, Diner's Club issued the first credit card. Think of the last thing you purchased. Did you use cash, a credit card, a debit card, an e-wallet service (Visa Checkout, Paypal, Google Pay, Apple Pay ...) or a check? hmmm, I believe I used Apple Pay

9) Easter is recognized as the start of the spring season. What are you looking forward to this spring? getting my new car!
