Tala's Graduation...

our friend, Tala, graduated Saturday night from Waialua High School 

Class of 2014.

We've gotten to know Tala because he helps with our yard when Terry is

out of town.  He's a great guy.  He also works at WES after school, so I 

see him then.

Saturday's weather was crazy (not as crazy as Sunday's) so they

held the actual ceremony inside the gym.  There were 97 graduates in this 

class.

Then after the ceremony and the lei greetings outside the kids went to 

"Project Grad"  an all night party held off campus.  It's like Grad Night.

Today was his party.  I was really excited to go because the family always 

makes such great food.

There were trays and trays of Samoan food.

our Samoan Elder had two plates full!

crab!
