Lantern Festival
Last night was the annual Lantern Festival at Forest Hills Cemetery here in JP. The event is inspired by the Japanese Bon Festival, a traditional event held to honor ancestors. During the Festival, people light lanterns to invite ancestors to visit their families. Then, the lanterns are sent floating out to sea to guide ancestors back to the world of spirits. Prayers are offered so their souls may rest in peace.
About 1,00+ people gathered last night, inscribing wooden lanterns with personal messages to friends and family who have passed on. Calligraphers were there to inscribe shades with Chinese or Japanese characters for hope, love, peace or eternal spirit. We choose love and peace for ours. We added the names of our beloved grandparents and friends who have passed.
There was Japanese Taiko drummers playing,
and then at 8:30, while a bagpiper played, we took our lit Lantern to the edge of Lake Hibiscus to launch it with the others. It was so lovely looking at the thousands of lanterns illuminating the darkness while a full moon peaked over the trees.

Congrats to Kristen & Curt!
Kristen and Curt were married June 7th at the Hawthorne Country Club in North Dartmouth.
It was a delight to spend the day with a couple who are so clearly in love. Right before the end of the reception, they changed into their Boston Red Sox t-shirts!

Road Trip - Quest for Lobster Roll
Since last summer I have been craving Lobster Rolls. Not just any Lobster Roll... but the ones from Oarweed Restaurant, in Ogunquit, ME. So as soon as we could, we decided to take the hour and half drive out during Memorial Day weekend to head out to lobster roll heaven.
On the way back, we stop by Salisbury Beach and then Newburyport, where they were having a street craft and food (did someone say food?!) fair. We actually met one of the founders of the Life Is Good t-shirt company. And of course we stopped by the local candy shop and grabbed a chocolate-covered Twinkee (unfortunately the Twinkee was eaten before I could get a picture of it). We also came across the wonderful Oldies Marketplace and I purchased an old Ansco camera from the 1940s.
