A really tough Easter week

Easter is a day to celebrate a rebirth. We won’t get into the hard-boiled religious implications of this day that has slowly given way to bunnies, eggs and, hopefully, family celebrations. I wish to include the spirit of Passover, too, in this tale of a day meant for signaling love, spent and to come. We…

Here’s to your eggs-cellent day

May you hop to a great Sunday. Thank you again to the folks at Nichols for brightening up the Village of Liverpool on the run up to our big days. Ballantyne Gardens workers get it right every holiday, I think. May you and yours enjoy Easter.
