This past Easter Sunday we and Marzena’s parents attended “Resurrection Mass” at Sacred Heart in New Britain, Connecticut, one of the largest Polish American communities and certainly one of the largest Polish Catholic parishes in the USA.
The Mass is preceded by a procession with players symbolically re-enacting Jesus’s the Way to the Cross.
Smell the incense?
Talcott Mountain and Heublein Tower
Then the youthful fiance —it’s no secret, she’s twenty years my junior—led me on an incredible arduous, 40 minute, 1.25 mile, uphill climb up Talcott Mountain in Connecticut’s State Park— atop which sits a castle-like set of structures owned by the man who brought Schmirnoff Vodka to America (and, A1 Steak Sauce!) It reminded me (after I caught my breath) of extravagant silk magnate Lambert’s Castle atop Garret Mountain on the Clifton/Paterson border. Heublein’s is open after Memorial Day.
What a panorama! Can you tell we’re miles up and standing on a delicate precipice?
Here’s Marzena standing in front of the Heublein Tower I strongly urge you to click on the preceding link to read about this worthy attraction, to which Marzena and will certainly be returning in the future.
Ah, nature! Here’s what some ambitious woodpecker had done to a tree in the interest of ridding it of termites.
