The end of an era

The Johnson Barber Shop in Verona, although still there in name, is no longer there in spirit. Here are the sad details as reported in the WI State Journal.

Easter in WI

The 'burg was hopping (as is hippity hop, hippity hop) last weekend when the entire family came to visit for the big pagan spring ritual of Eostre (or Oestara) as celebrated by the early Anglo-Saxons. They had flowers and eggs and rabbits and fair maidens and all of the other trappings of the modern Christian Easter except for two things: 1) No chocolate bunnies, and 2) No checks from Grammy and Granddad. Long live Christianity!

Here are the photos which include some really strange pagan looking people feasting on pig and pratties, and some action videos of the youngest and oldest and those in between romping through the spring sunshine. And don't forget Thomas and his buddies. They were the hit of the party.

Thanks to all for coming.
