Poetry, stories highlight tea

Several ladies from Beaufort, Bluffton, Lady’s Island and St. Helena Island met for tea at the home of Veronica Miller. The ladies shared poems, short stories, humorous antidotes, words of inspiration and readings. Andrea Allen shared her research on Harriet Tubman. The ladies enjoyed scones, shrimp crostini, cucumber sandwiches and a variety of flavored teas. Seated from left are Miller, Paula Sutcliff and EJ Gray.
