We combined two sets of children – my two sons and her two daughters – in the early years – not much money but we made it!
Last summer – Papa and my two sons – Troy – with the beard – my oldest and Shawn – my youngest – still lived back in NWPA!
They visited last summer and will be back!
This is me! LOL If only I could putt!

MEMORIES OF TIMES GONE BY – GRANDKIDS – and PAPA’S WORLD! livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
Troy – Shawn – Autumn – Andera – Trisha – after a week of good times and fun – will be back! The salt life!
The yellow pollen was everywhere – so happy that we had the back lanai enclosed with EZ-BREEZE – allowing us to keep
it outside and not all over our furniture indoors!
But – the outdoor patio was covered as were the outdoor window screens and the screens to the lanai!
So – out came the water hose – and I moved all the furniture off the patio as well as the rug.
I began to wash everything down – starting with the siding and the screens.
I gently used the shower feature on the hose to rinse off the Tower Garden – and the big chairs which are too heavy to move and are connected.
The chairs are really heavy and connected – hard to move for Sherry and me!
I also gently showered the flowers – which we have grown since last spring and the Solo Stove fire pit!
Now on such a nice day – I would rather be out golfing – but this yellow pollen from all the pine trees is everywhere.
I have even seen it in the ocean!
When done and everything is back in place – glad to have it over with and nice and clean – however – this will have to be done again as the pollen season lasts for a while.
When the wind blows it is like a yellow dust cloud floating in the air.
A good rain will wash a lot of it down onto the ground but it forms a yellow scum on the water in the ponds!

Today – I look back – back to the little ones – who now are the older ones and the next three whom I now call the little ones!
All six of the grandchildren several years ago before we moved to the Carolinas – this at our home in NVA!
Today – the oldest graduates from college – the second oldest is a Sophomore in college – the third oldest is a Sophomore in H.S.
The twins are in sixth grade and Bode – is in second grade.
All have been down to visit us – and the younger ones have spent a week’s vacation with us here at our new home!
The twins – Cassidy on the left and Taylor on the right – with Papa – they were so small when born – both just three pounds plus!
Today – Taylor – then Sarah ( who is 5’10”) and Cassidy – who is actually now growing faster than Taylor!
Sarah is a Sophomore in H.S.
MORMOR – Sherry – and Papa – at the beach shortly after Sherry retired early to pursue her Juice Plus business full time! She is a certified health coach and guides me in healthy eating.
Today the three oldest are with their parents – Maddy – then Ella and Sarah. They have all grown up!
Our memories of times gone by – forever young in our minds! Maddy – Sarah and Ella!
TAYLOR – love her smile!
Cassidy – the little determined one – loves her feisty attitude!
Bode – the only grandson out of five granddaughters – my little buddy – PAPA and BODE!

PAPA and little CASSIDY.
PAPA and TAYLOR – who has turned into a horse rider and works in the barn!
Taylor – Sarah – Cassidy and Bode – cousins – at the ION ice rink in Leesburg, Va. There also is a full-size ice hockey rink here other than what you see behind them – with thousands of seats!
We got together with Sarah and her mother Debby for a two-hour skate – the kids loved it and they all helped Sarah who hasn’t skated since she was little!
The adults sat here at the table with a full view of the rink – I also went to the hockey rink and watched the youth hockey play – full pads!
Quite impressed with the arena which could rival the pros!
We were able to have food and drinks while watching the kids and they could join us for food!
Taylor who is 12 is almost as tall as Sarah who is 16 and around 5’10! Cassidy has been catching up to Taylor for the last year.
We then went to the grandkid’s house – for a short visit – exchanged clothes – and say our goodbyes!
Here are Sarah – Sherry – Debby – Cassidy and Taylor!
The afternoon ended too quickly but we all had such a good time and all the kids loved the ice skating!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog Sarah – Cassidy – Bode – and Taylor go ice skating!
PAPA’S WORLD – just another day in our life – living life to the plus – one day at a time!
I am always up before sunrise – I love that part of the day – quiet – good nights sleep –
of course by 8:30 pm. I head for bed – so I get to see every day Sunrise and Sunset!
The sunrise at our family’s home in Leesburg, Va. Early morning hustle of kids getting ready – the youngest Bode is the first off to school – heading out the door at 6:50 AM.
Along with both of his parents to walk him to the bus stop!
Of course, Marley – the Goldendoodle – on her leash – leads the way!
The sky is getting lighter at this time – this was the sunrise before they headed out the door.
Then – after the late afternoon – the sunset out the front door!
The ever-changing skies of NVA – a beautiful wide expanse – in their neighborhood which is country!
Sunsets here are also beautiful – after dinner – kids are in from outside –
The TV is on – the dog sleeping – Taylor is reading –
Family time.
Thanks for reading – PAPA’S WORLD my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog IN LEESBURG, VA. SUNRISE-SUNSETS!
PAPA and BODE – living life to the plus – one day at a time – each day is one more day – thank you for reading!
Seven years ago – we were introduced to ” GROWING ” our own FRESH produce.
Neither one of us ( Sherry) my wife – were gardeners – and the thought of weeding was completely out of my vocabulary !
Then we ordered our first ” TOWER ” Garden –
A aeroponic garden system – using Air – Water and Minerals.
We grow some of our seedlings – others we order and have them shipped to us.
Healthy eating – knowing we use no pesticides – and fresh produce –
allows us to eat healthy all year round ! ( We also grow in our garage using grow lights during Winter. )
The system is really quite simple – a tank in the bottom – holds 20 gallons of water.
A pump – is attached to the center of the Tower by a hose –
and pumps water straight up to the top and then drips down through holes in the center of the Tower.
The water also contains minerals from the Earth. Patented – and in liquid form.
Which are supplied when you order for one season. Everything you need is supplied – for your original garden season – this system we have is seven years old and looks as good today as when we bought it !
There is a timer for the pump – 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off. The whole process boils down to making sure you have water – and once a week add some tonic – or in the heat of Summer – every other week.
The fresh produce grows at a very fast rate – in four weeks time we are eating lettuce – Kale – leafy greens . Cuke’s and tomato’s & peppers take longer – but much shorter than a normal garden plot. You can grow most anything that does not require a tree. Mellon’s – Strawberries – squash – egg plant – herbs etc.
Simple – fast – and best of all ” I DO NOT HAVE TO WEED ” ! I HATE TO WEED !
Since we were some of the first in the Country as a test – we decided to purchase two more ! We have one set up for Winter in our garage and two outside as you see here – the produce is only a couple weeks old – the smaller ones about a week !
We also are distributor’s for what is called the Tower Garden – and have placed them in schools as part of a curriculum established by the Juice Plus Company – to teach children how to grow their own fresh produce all across the Country – presently 5,500 Towers are teaching the process nationwide. We are responsible for about 70 – our team is very active.
Promoting health – one green at a time – and some reds!!!! LOL
Our youngest granddaughters – Taylor( the tall one ) on the left and Cassidy on the right – sing vocals in a band performance for their Community Lutheran Church – a band called INSPIRE!
They sang soft rock classics- 500 miles – I love Rock and Roll – Give it your best shot – and ended up with Sweet Caroline!
So proud of both singing in front of a group audience!
Both fraternal twins and 12 years old – Cassidy has a part in a play in April that we plan on coming back to see and both of them have begun Violin lessons.
Taylor loves to read and Cassidy loves to draw and is quite good! Both love their MORMOR – Sherry – MOTHERSMOTHER!
Taylor – Cassidy – Bode and mother – Tammy – our family in Leesburg, Va. MEMORIES!
Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
The band INSPIRE with Taylor and Cassidy on vocals – GRANDDAUGHTERS PERFORMANCE SINGING!
My day always starts off with humor – smiles and laughter on my social media page – setting the tone for the rest of the day!
A positive outlook on life! I will drink to that! LOL
WHAT is THIS? Why – to protect it from the low temps below freezing – a metallic cover for our Tower Garden – and it does just fine – but to me, it looks like something from “ET” or “STAR WARS”! LOL
A good thought for the day – one to think about – positive vibes!
HHHHHMMMMM – and here I thought it was the JUICE! LOL
Sherry with Cindy and Dottie – friends that make friends laugh – smile and just have good times!

PAPA’SWORLD – HUMOR – SMILES – and GOOD THOUGHTS! HGD!
One of the reasons we choose to live in Cameron Woods – is GOLFING!
We are right in the middle of about 25 golf courses in any direction.
It was too expensive to golf back in NVA and we love to golf.
Just out riding around you pass the fairways and greens and we want to be out there!
Another reason is we wanted to be on the mainland side of the ICW – here – we are with our neighbors – Diane and her husband Steve – who own a boat – cruising the ICW.
There is also a boat rental on OIB that we have taken friends out on – this is only a ten-minute drive away for us!
We are thankful for our family – whom have at one time or another visited us in our new area.
Of course, we are the tour guides – we did that for years in the D.C. area and love it.
Here – we take them everywhere and show them the area.
This has once again followed us to where we live – we are living our dream.

Our daughter Debby and her daughter Maddy – memories from long ago!
Debbby and Maddy – from 2001 – our first granddaughter!
Today – she is a senior – having completed her fourth year as a Hornet at the University of Lynchburg soccer program
and as a captain in her senior year.
Twice going to the NCAA tournament in her four years and winning the Conference title in her senior year.
Our little granddaughter will graduate this spring with an Environmental Science degree!
My two sons from my first marriage – Troy on the left and Shawn on the right.
Shawn and his wife – Trisha! He runs his own business contracting out to the state and energy companies for auditing energy and installation for the elderly.
Shawn is a ranked nine-ball player in both Canada and the USA – winning his way to Las Vegas numerous times.
Troy and his partner – Andrea visited us this past summer.
Until four years ago – Troy built houses from the ground up – doing it all – then he joined Shawn and runs the installation side of the energy auditing business contracting out to the state in insulation for the elderly.

I always thought this – now in retirement – I still think any day of golf is better than – well you choose it! LOL
The Tower Garden – the smaller unit can be used indoors with grow lights – the outdoor unit is larger – producing with just water – light and nutrients and air!
Our Tower Garden is covered up for freezing temps – looks like something from Star Wars! LOL

Our friends of years and years – bought this lot just outside Edenton, N.C. – at the far end is a canal and access to the bay.
On the far side of the bay – is the Outer Banks. The canal is 800 feet straight back.
Looking across the bay to the Outer Banks – this view is less than a half mile to their lot.
A dream coming true in a little over 1 1/2 years when Dottie retires and construction begins on their dream home.
Right across from their lot sits the number two hole – a par three! I see lots of sitting on the front porch watching the golfers trying to hit the green!
View back up the road to their building lot from the yard at the clubhouse – golfing with a view and boat access to the bay!
Dottie gazing out over the bay to the Outer Banks – her dream coming true – I envision walks here with chairs in the early evening!

Cassidy – the small one on the left looking at her instructor with her mentor the taller one behind her
She went to Cheer leading school
and as part of that school
she and her classmates & mentors
got to cheer the first half
of the varsity
BRIAR WOODS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME
About to cheer – Cassidy
I had a hard time taking pictures and video’s
as she would disappear in a flash
behind the bigger kids and then emerge again
But I did get some pictures
Growing up staying out of trouble in a small NWPA living simple my bike and my friends at the ball park when street lights come on head for home
She did well listening to instructions never letting her mentor out of her sight or touch
It was a bit chilly – and every time the varsity scored
all the cheerleaders hit the deck
and did push ups !
I do not think she knew she had to do this
and it was funny seeing the expression on her face
one push up for every single point
BOY – THE SCORE WAS 34 to 0 at halftime
OUR FAVOR !
