Re: re our condo reno

I didn’t realize how good she (and you) were at that age. Beautiful! I am 63 and quite distended and  inching my way to a transplant. It’s inspiring to see the life you built together in Hawai’i. And that she was able to enjoy wine for so long. Haha 

I love the reminders to nourish the soul. I recall one of her messages to walk barefoot in the cool morning grass…

Thank you for sharing. You were blessed to have found each other. 

Car shots cracked me up. So midlife crisis. lol.

In 2005, Diane and I bought our condo in Waikiki, gutted it, and, starting with an empty box, we designed and built our own nest (with our own hands and with the help of a local Samoan carpenter). We shot this video in 2012 to share with family members and friends to give them a glimpse of our life here in paradise.  I was 70.  Diane was 65.
Diane became quite handy with tools and she kept her own toolbox even after everything was finished.
