Our Highlights in May
Nite to Shine
We didn’t see the musical Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway in the 1970s - so we didn’t know what its revival at Goodspeed Opera House in Haddam, Connecticut would be like. We found the lyrics a bit “edgy” – some might say blasphemous - and the dancing incredible, especially since much of it was done in sand.

The Prophetic Necessity of Beauty
The early morning women’s bible study that Marilyn attends at Noroton Presbyterian Church in Darien, CT finished the Questions Jesus Asked book. Some women rose early to bake quiches and muffins and others brought juice and fruit for the sumptuous breakfast that everyone enjoyed.

Snow
On the Sunday of Memorial weekend, we really wanted to watch the parade in Rowayton, CT, and have a hot dog at the fire station and strawberry shortcake in Pinkney Park. But all activities were cancelled due to heavy rain. Fortunately, in just a few weeks, there’ll be a day to celebrate the 250 years of our country’s independence.
