On one of our many beach walks –

Sherry standing in the surf at Ocean Isle Beach-

Back when I was younger –

even before I knew Sherry –

My dream then was someday-

I would like to retire-

and sell HOT DOGS ON THE BEACH!

That was just a way to say –

I loved Sand – Surf and Sun!

I lived at that time in a small town-

in the Alleghany Mountains in NWPA!

The beaches were far away –

and only got there on a vacation or two.

A sort of FIELD OF DREAMS –

might be there someday –

But most likely a picture will do.

Today – things have changed –

we moved South to the borders of N.C and S.C.

The beaches are only 15 minutes away.

Today we are in our Golden Senior Years –

living our lives –

Sand – Surf and Sun are now a part of that life.

Our doors are open for family and friends.

What I once dreamed about-

is now in the present.

While it has turned from SELLING HOTDOGS ON THE BEACH-

To WALKING ON THE BEACH whenever we want to.

We are fortunate –

a door opened and we walked through.

We feel like we are on vacation every day.

Our trips back home are reminders that our lives have changed.

Returning home each time is starting a new vacation over again each day!

Golfing with our friends of years and years.

Papa – Buck Cindy and Sherry.

They live 45 minutes away –

and we often play one of the courses near us-

but also on the 27 holes where they live at Magnolia Greens.

Living our dream of golfing –

beach walking and close friends!

Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD –
