the Ogden Buddhist Taiko Drummers -- their performance was incredible 

 

Members of the Buddhist Temple dancing. My friend Cindi is way in the back in blue and white and wearing sunglasses. Saw her that night for the first time in about 15 years.

More fan dancing. Very lovely and graceful. 

Wish I knew what happened to the kimono Miko gave me when she was here living with us.

before the nurses realize I'm gone!
