Garden Path at Kealaolu Avenue, Kahala392 viewsNana and my mother, Shirley, examining the flowers on the garden path at Kealaolu Avenue in Kahala. My guess is this is from the mid 1940's. Nana and Baba sold their Kealaolu Avenue house circa 1947, and felt they had enough money to move into a hotel for the rest of their lives. And that's what they did: they moved into the Niumalu Hotel, on the site of the present Hilton Hawaiian Village. That lasted about a year.

Food and New Product Show450 viewsWe always hated this show. Lots and lots of people, few buying anything. There for the free samples. John Bushby's waterfall was the best part of this show.

Marjorie Trying to Pose Ash432 viewsWe wanted Ash's head to be up, so Marjorie held an apple way up and then tried to get out of the photograph quickly. The idea was to crop Marjorie out of the photo, but I think the look on her face is quite funny.

The Old and The New232 viewsThe magnolia tree in our front garden -- a new blossom, and an old. The magnolia is an ancient genus that evolved before bees appeared. The flowers are designed to be pollinated by beetles. This is a Southern Magnolia, or Magnolia grandiflora.

Marmadukes Luxury Hotel, York --- Run Like Crazy147 viewsIf you ever go to York and your hotel looks like this, run like crazy in the opposite direction. Marjorie and I had an awful stay here, and the management were nasty and unapologetic.

The Orchid House4431 viewsIt's a cold autumn day outdoors, but in the Whitecroft orchid house it's always summer. That's our indoor (outdoor?) shower on the right, with a shower head like the Savoy Hotel. The shower head is currently holding our insect-eating plant: Emilia has taken great care of it, and it's becoming the Triffid.

Sunapee Harbor - New Hampshire4088 viewsWe took the dogs for a Memorial Day drive. In the middle of the countryside we saw a small sign pointing to Sunapee Harbor. Although miles from the sea, we found this lovely "seaside" New England harbor, complete with a seafood restaurant on the water. Gorgeous.May 28, 2012
