back in 1979, my Grandpa Osaki bought a piece of land, sketched out his dream house, and built it for my Grandma. he built it by hand on the weekends after working as a Principal weekdays. he made sure there was a big open yard, a koi pond, and lots of privacy.
this is the view from the living room. when i went there the other day, i could feel my Grandpa all over again.
look how lovely this view is!
i would put my bed right there and won’t want to get up. my Grandpa was a very simple man so all the details he put into the house was just for Grandma.
i forgot to mention. this property sits right on the Nuuanu stream. the fresh water from the mountains flowing down the backyard. as kids, we use to scoop fish, tadpoles, and prawns out of the stream. so many good memories…
i was walking around the yard giving my Grandnephew a tour. i always make funny faces to the kids so they all think i’m weird from an early age. haha.
