I have reached a stage in life when I can no longer see my brows to pluck them.  I went into a salon to get my brows either plucked or waxed so I would look okay for a school event.  They do not pluck or wax, they thread.  The person holds one end of a twisted thread in her mouth.  In the middle where the threads are twisted,  the threads are moved across the face plucking hairs as they move.  Ouch!

I looked it up, it is an ancient way of removing hair from the body that reportedly comes from India.

One thing about it, it last much longer than either plucking or waxing.  How about that!

Buddhist Tooth Relic Temple

Right in the midst of Chinatown is a Buddhist temple that contains (supposedly) one of Buddha’s teeth.  It is a very beautiful and I thought you would enjoy the pictures.

Buddhist Temple feeds the Hungry Ghost

The day I visited was the last day of the month of the Hungry Ghost.  Under the edge of the roof all the way around were tables set for the ghosts.  As I walked back to my house, I walked past multiple sites where people were burning money and other gifts for the ghost. 

Hope all is well with all of you.  I think of you all often and send you my love.  Sara
