It’s that time again.

And, speaking of time…Here are a couple of photos of me in the back yard of our family’s home in Kahala, separated by, oh, perhaps 60 years.

I’m dating the top photo in about 1955. It looks like the mango tree behind me, to the right, had just been radically pruned, or else was having a serious health issue. I’m guessing the former.

The second photo is a selfie taken yesterday. The same tree is behind me. Obviously, it has thrived over the years.

The house has changed. We replaced the ground level lanai with a deck at the same level as the floor of the house, so that you can just step outside from the living room. It’s pretty seamless. We also eliminated the roof over the lanai, which allows more light into the house. We’re happy with both changes.

And, in both time periods, it’s a nice place to be.
