I would like to know if can order these beautiful quilts/wallhangings. My mom was born/raised in Palolo valley in the projects….this is where she speaks of the most valuable life lessons she was taught in her childhood… as if it were just yesterday. She always speaks of her homeland as if she left her long lost love behind. She left Hawaii in 1961 and has only returned for her mothers funeral and several family reunions over the past years. One thing I can say is true… you can take the Girl outta the islands but you can’t ever take the islands outta the Girl. Mama can’t travel no more because of her health but she still eats rice with every meal…She still makes fried spam, eggs with green onions, and corned beef hash for breakfast and sometimes for dinner when money is tight but she always speaks so highly of her Beloved Hawai’i. The Beautiful stories in the Music, the ono food, the people and the spirit of aloha…nothing can take away the gift that Hawai’i is always willing to give!!! Lika heres to pilot crackers, crack seed,spam and rice …oh yeah and no fo’get Hawaiian Sun Lilikoi. From Cali: To all my POI Peeps in da Palolo Valley Housing Projects: Da Kahalewi’s, Kaneohe: Da Hottendorfs… and all da Santos posse…all ova really: my Uncle Geno da best ukulele jammin’ Elvis Impersonator known to da Islands and hopefully real soon to the USA. If it weren’t for peeps like Lika we wouldn’t be able to share our thoughts and comments to all those we love in our Isle’s across the seas. Thanx Again Lika…Luv & God Bless (Jeanette Almendarez) Stockton,California
