Frans and I have been saving leis for the last two or three years – leis we’ve been given for birthdays, graduation, our wedding, and other things, as well as leis visitors have left at our place before leaving the island. We would throw them over the arm of a reading lamp we have, and the collection got so heavy that in the end we couldn’t even raise it up to read by. Unfortunately, some of them started getting a little stinky, and pieces were constantly falling off and getting all over the floor and sofa.
So we finally decided to throw them all out. It was a rough decision, because they were so pretty, and there were so many memories wrapped up in them. But at least I got a photo, and now I won’t have to sweep stinky flower petals off the floor every day.
