Tie cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in cheesecloth. Simmer cider and sugar with spices for about 15 minutes. Remove bag of seasonings. Add orange juice, lemon juice and brandy. Heat to bubbling and serve. Makes 3 quarts.

Easter Greetings

For years my sister Judy has either hosted a huge Easter egg hunt in her own back yard or been the mover/shaker behind a spring carnival at the Louisville, Colorado American Legion. This year more than 500 Easter baskets went to children of military personnel at Fort Carson Army Base near Colorado Springs.
