Shawn – my youngest son –

PICTURES OF LIFE!

Friends – I am fortunate that I still have contact with my childhood friend-

Sherry – Papa – Bobby and Pam – his wife!

PICTURES OF LIFE!

I like to write my blogs so that they bring the above.

There is enough negative news out there –

I love history – ancient finds and SY-FY!

We have made and still stay in touch with many friends.

Sharing our life here near the beaches is a dream come true for us.

FAMILY – FRIENDS – NEIGHBORS and SOCIAL GATHERINGS –

these are what my blogs reflect.

Staying true to my values – those of our families and friends!

PAPA’S WORLD is a window into those values.

Bode – who soon will turn ten years old –

He was the first boy born on Sherry’s side of the family.

Bode – here on turning nine years old – now is ten years old.

PICTURES OF LIFE!

The “KINDRED SPIRIT ” mailbox on the far Western end of Sunset Beach is known as Bird Island.

Here is where many – many years ago – a hippie and his girlfriend –

Carried a mailbox and shovels to install the top of a dune.

They put in a journal for people to write their thoughts.

All these years later – after many replacements –

It still sits there, with two benches and a memorial to these two people.

Well worth the 1 1/2 mile walk to sit and just observe behind the dune and the sand and surf.

The journals are kept and today new ones are supplied for future generations.

THE KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX!
