Tea

Sep 2, 2019Moments

Afternoon tea with Charity and Aunty Solo last weekend.

Char made yummy finger sandwiches, and homemade peanut butter cupcakes.

I was fully enraptured with stories from the heydays of Aunu’u, Manu’a, and Tutuila from Aunty Solo.

She showed us her wedding photos and what she looked like when she was about our age. She was hot stuff!

And we watched “The Sun is Also a Star” which was me and Char’s book club book from a few months ago.

Ah, it was so nice to kick back with these lovely ladies in Ili’ili.

Didn’t realize I needed this.
