Mid Autumn Festival

Image
The  Mid-Autumn Festival   is a  harvest festival  celebrated by ethnic  Chinese ,  Korean , and  Vietnamese  people.   The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the  lunar calendar  with  full moon  at night, corresponding to late September to early October of the  Gregorian calendar  with a full moon at night. On Oct 4, the night of the mid autumn festival, my family and I went out for dinner. After having dinner, we went back home to have some chinese tea and mooncake while chit chatting. We then decided to light up our lanterns and walk around the neighbourhood. We walked around in slow pace with a lantern in our hands enjoying the night breeze.🎑 It was an enjoyable night, a bonding time for the family. 

Kindness is free ✨

Seven Miles For Me Leaving a store, I returned to my car only to find that I’d locked my keys and cell phone inside. A teenager riding his bike saw me kick a tire and say a few choice words. “What’s wrong?” he asked. I explained my situation. “But even if I could call my wife,” I said, “she can’t bring me her car key, since this is our only car.” He handed me his cell phone. “Call your wife and tell her I’m coming to get her key.” “That’s seven miles round trip.” “Don’t worry about it.” An hour later, he returned with the key. I offered him some money, but he refused. “Let’s just say I needed the exercise,” he said. Then, like a cowboy in the movies, he rode off into the sunset. Clarence W.
