Spontaneous

The Woonsocket and North Smithfield Rhode Island Watlao Thammajadi Buddhist Temple members were gathered in the parking lot at the Elks Hall when I walked by early this morning with Lily. I have met them before so I said hello. They invited me to come back for their annual Lao New Year's celebration today at noon. Bill and I got dressed up and walked over. It was an amazing experience to see the 200 people and some families we knew, having a wonderful chaotic party with food and orange robed monks chanting and giving blessings. A perfect way to celebrate our 30th anniversary.
