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.

Papa’s World – Living life one day at a time!

Isn’t this the truth! As you get older – things become a little bit more demanding – but keeping active can slow these down!

Walking – that is my main source of exercise – and we have started playing Pickle Ball!

We try to walk 2 to 3 miles a day weather permitting – we do not walk in rain or strong winds.

We have been taking this supplement for SIXTEEN YEARS – and we have never missed a day!

We recommend this to other folks – the research sold us and the benefits to our bodies!

We do not have pets although our daughter and family have Marley – a golden poodle who is adorable.

Our other daughter and family have a Love Bird – our son-in-law is allergic to cats and dogs!

We live life to the plus one day at a time – enjoying everything we can in the autumn of our lives.

Life is a joy for us – family – friends and giving what we can.

PAPA’S WORLD – LIVING LIFE TO THE PLUS ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Papa’s World – Pictures – Family and friends.

Introducing myself and my wife – Tom ( Papa) and Sherry – married over 40 years – from NWPA – in the Alleghany Mountains!

We have lived in Pa. N.Y. Va. S.C. and N.C.

Second marriage for both of us – combining two daughters ( hers ) and two sons ( mine) –

The two daughters live in NVA and the two sons live in NWPA.

Both retired from a major producer and importer of Ceramic tile

We both strive to be kind – generous – caring – loving – helpful and make a contribution to humankind.

We have had close friends for almost 40 years and some beyond that – here Buck and Cindy who live about 40 miles from us.

We were neighbors back in WNY and have continued to see each other through the years.

Now that we are within one hour of each other – we often times get together to golf – have dinner – or see theater shows in our area.

For SIXTEEN years Sherry has been a partner for the Juice Plus Company – she is a certified health coach –

and has had an internet business during all this time.

This has provided a stable extra income for our retirement for the past 10 years that she has been retired.

Family is very important to us – all have visited us in our new retirement home in N.C.

PAPA’S WORLD – RANDOM HUMOR – LAUGHS – and SMILES! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Papa’s World – Random pictures – thoughts and memories.

Christmas decorations for 2022 in our home in Cameron Woods Community – OIB, N.C. Our second Christmas here in our new home!

I do not run because I thud – thud – jarring my whole body – so I walk – almost every day 2 to 3 miles – and strive for 10,000 steps.

The closest beach to our home is four miles and is Ocean Isle Beach – with a pier and this entrance is the Community Center!

At Crooked Hammock in Barefoot Landing, S.C with family when they visited after Christmas but before New Year’s Eve!

Long ago Pier picture of OIB – RANDOM PICTURES – THOUGHTS – and PICTURES – MY BLOG!

Papa’s World – SIXTEEN PLUS YEARS to healthy aging!

We choose after our reaching senior status – to do everything we could possibly do to age as healthy as we could manage to do.

We started watching what we ate – cutting out fast food – soda – milk ( for me) – reducing dairy – and drinking.

We had already years before quit smoking!

Now we started to walk – run every day – for me that was walking – I run really hard – thudding my steps and jarring my whole body!

Vegetables – fruit and some protein – reduce red meat considerably.

Eating grilled fish or baked chicken – drinking a lot of water every day!

We found though for us it was really hard to get the recommended servings each day of fruits and vegetables.

Sherry found a supplement of whole food in a capsule – all the nutrients retained for consumption and immediately go into the bloodstream!

Over 30 different fruits- vegetables and berries in six capsules each day!

And now – for sixteen years – I have not missed a day!

This is what I have taken for 16 years! I will be 74 years old on my next birthday as will Sherry!

We feel as though we have found our answer to aging healthy!

Several years ago we added a fourth bottle to our daily consumption – OMEGAS – not from fish oil – but ALGAE – from the JP company farm! NO MERCURY!

I also will have a nutritious bar – all good “STUFF” to have with the COMPLETE SHAKE I also have!

I prefer the DUTCH CHOCOLATE – with crushed ice – a cup of water and a cup of Almond or Soy milk!

Sometimes a teaspoon of peanut butter or half a banana!

It tastes like a WENDY’S FROSTY!

And to satisfy my sweet tooth – we buy the GUMMIES – in vegetables – fruits, and berries –

they do the sweet tooth thing for me and are all nutrient-based fruits – veggies, and berries!

Great for kids and those who have a tough time swallowing the capsules!

Papa’s World – just another day – be happy !

A GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL

Retirement can cause this –

“IT’S JUST ANOTHER DAY “

COFFEE

BUT – mine ALWAYS starts this way ” COFFEE ” !

Yes – that is me !

First thing I do is make that cup –

Usually with a flavored taste to it !

I AM FREE

My phone for the most part – stays in my pants pocket !

I mostly only use it for two things !

First one – ” TO ANSWER IT “

And that comes in a form of a text from my wife !

Second one – ” TO TAKE A PICTURE “

You see I really do not like my phone –

When it rings –

There is this happy – cheery voice –

THAT IS RECORDED !

Yes – you can !

And then that voice continues on with some nonsense –

I have learned to hit the turn off button rather quickly !

Last day of the week

To be honest though –

They all run together –

It use to be – “HURRY UP WEEKEND ” !

Now – it is “MAKE SURE I DO NOT FALL “

When trying to do this ! LOL

YEAH YOU KNOW

And as these days seem to all run together –

So does bed time –

The yawning starts around 8:00 PM.

Be honest now –

Then you start thinking –

What can I dream about to make me fall asleep ! LOL

Turn the AC a little bit colder

Warm blanket –

YEP – 9:00 PM. is the new MIDNIGHT !

Then you realize the weekend is gone –

Monday is here –

Unless you did SOMETHING over the weekend-

It all seems the same !

And even in retirement –

The most important thing you can remember –

“ONE DAY WE WILL DIE SNOOPY “

” YES – BUT EVERY OTHER DAY WE WILL LIVE “

THE AUTUMN OF OUR LIVES

Today is just another day –

Today – as in retirement –

Is a day in my life –

My hope is that each and every day –

I share a little part of it –

Our two youngest granddaughters – Taylor and Cassidy – started violin lessons in the new school year in September –

We are from Western N.Y. – 65 miles South of Buffalo and are fans of the football team – maybe this year they will once again get

back to the Super Bowl – in hindsight – a very good year!

Our internet business has just gone national on a dozen TV programs – 16 years we have had this income-producing business –

This is now I believe year 30 of this product – and I have never missed a day in 16 years!

In our retirement – this has allowed us to live the way we do – and also age healthy one day at a time!

Papa’s World – Lunch at a historic eatery in Edenton,N.C.

View from the window in the Herring Canning and Packing factory in Edenton, N.C. right on the waterfront!

Completley renovated with pictures on the wall depicting the operation of the canning and fishing procedures.

Jim – Paul – Dottie – Janet – Sherry in one of the dining areas remodeled over from the Herring factory.

We drove here because Jim and Dottie’s lot was only a few miles away and this is the historic district of Edenton –

and just a stone’s throw away from the bay and a raised light-house.

The meal was very good – had hamburger and fries – drinks were good and they had flights of beer which Dottie and Sherry shared.

Flight of beer served on an old piece of driftwood and all the light fixtures hang from the ceiling in pieces of driftwood.

Good friends having lunch at Historic Eatery in Edenton, N.C. Good times – on the bay in Edenton.

Papa’s World – building a dream near Edenton – golf course and bay.

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!

Papa’s World – The LITTLE one’s first cheer – CASSIDY

GOOD MORNING

She is nine years old –

She is a independent child

Full of life – always creative

She can melt your heart

But she also will ask ” WHY- WHAT – HOW- WHEN “

She is her own identity ” CASSIDY “

The small one of the twins.

The fighter !

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 !

Papa’s World – Happy times in North Carolina with friends.

The six of us have been friends for about forty-plus years. Living as neighbors to Cindy and Buck and Jim and Dottie grew up in the same little town in NWPA called Eldred in the Alleghany mountains as I did.

Jim – Sherry and I all worked for Dal-Tile – (American Olean Tile) in Olean, N.Y.

And of course, being and working in WNY – we all were Buffalo Bills fans – and we watch them whenever we can by going to

Buffalo Bills sports bars in our areas.

Cindy and Buck live 30 miles from us and we get together often to play a round of golf – have dinner and just enjoy our friendships.

Papa – Dottie – Cindy – Sherry – Buck and Jim – Dottie and Jim live in Va. Beach and in the coming years will build on a piece of property in Northern North Carolina.

They will be about three-plus hours from us when they retire.

Sherry – Cindy – Dottie – Forty-plus years of being friends. When we all get together – it comes down to Gals vs. Guys in a golf scramble.

The last time we gave them two strokes – they missed a four-foot putt on the last hole for the WIN!

So we tied 37 to 37!

Sherry and Cindy – both into walking miles and miles – I try to keep up!

Papa’s World – Elvis is in the house – Carolina Opera.

We purchased tickets way back in September of 2022! An ELVIS tribute – three generations progressing from the ’50s

to the late 70’s when he passed away.

Personally – I liked the 50’s music the best as that is when he changed Rock and Roll.

He was the KING – and everyone was following him – from country to rock and roll and R&B. Gospel –

you name it and he was what everyone was copying.

The first performer and the style Elvis had early in his career. This is when all the gyrations came out and all the ladies swooned!

This style is what I liked – as he got older – he was not as moving about as he was here.

ELVIS in the house – ’50s style.

Then came the service for his country and they remade his style – a little more subdued for the ’60s –

but he brought forth the black leather!

All the hits kept coming – I was surprised at just how many he had over 20 years!

Here is the new style – “BLACK LEATHER” and still playing to the audience.

Then in the 70’s came the VEGAS years – heavier and sideburns more pronounced – the famous white suit and cape!

And still, during that time – he kept producing the hits and his style changed – a bit more mature and calmer.

It was here he booked out every performance and to this day still holds the record for most sold

-out shows in a row in Vegas.

We were surprised at how well we enjoyed this show.

All three performers on stage at the end – a great show and we recommend anyone to see it!

Papa’s World – The ever-changing skies of sunset at SUNSET BEACH!

The view of Sunset Beach – hardly any clouds – beautiful view through the foliage.

The next night – almost the same view – Sunset Beach – gets its name from the fantastic views.

Ramp to the beach the night before – the beach with a few diehards – a fantastic view.

The next night – “Cotton Candy” skies – still almost deserted – but so inviting to walk the sand and listen to the surf.

A view across the dunes and scrub bush – habitat for many wildlife – the long walkway goes across all of this.

Now across the sand and dunes and scrub brush and trees – “Cotton Candy Skies”!

Papa’s World – We call CAMERON WOODS HOME!

We have found this to be true here in the new neighborhood – everyone seems to get along and is really nice!

Moon over the EAST end of Cameron Woods – this section is complete – we now know most of the people here –

there have been several block parties and seasonal parties.

We are awaiting the community center to be completed – where we can meet and greet.

We find this community to be very welcoming – mostly retired people here but still folks working from home.

Some are second homes waiting for retirement or vacation homes.

We are fortunate that we can view sunsets such as this or a sunrise from the street end of our driveway.

That is one of the reasons we choose this lot when it became available.

Our home in Cameron Woods Community – not large but enough room for the company – and all on one level!

PAPA’S WORLD – We call CAMERON WOODS OUR HOME!

Papas World – leaving the Tower Gardens – fantastic

When we sold the house – the new owners had adopted

a plant based diet – they observed the Tower Gardens

and made the offer to purchase them!

Along with 95 % of our household goods!

This Tower Garden is the one that has the cukes – tomatoes and spreading plants

We did two outside – in the patio we limited it – so as not to spread out

This one is inside the patio and will not spread out so much

There is enough produce to provide for several families

I often over the ten years would give away as we had too much to eat.

You can see just how much is there

They will only have to make sure it has water –

and once every 10 days or so – some nutrients –

and just pick and eat!

This will produce until extra cold weather – frost – ice or snow.

Sherry even made bread and butter pickles –

and we stored tomatoes in newspapers for a while.

For more information on the Juice Plus Company –

The Tower Gardens which are part of JP –

Papa’s World – Golfing NEW YEARS DAY with friends!

We spent the night at our friend’s house at Magnolia Greens just outside Leland, N.C., and also friends from Va. Beach stayed.

We played a scramble Gals vs. Guys and gave them TWO strokes over the 18 holes!

Now that may sound like not enough – but on the 18 th. hole – they missed a five-foot putt that would have won the match!

We ended up tying 37 to 39! Only because they boogied the last hole!

As you can see the ball went toward the hole and just stopped inches to one side – that putt would have been the winner!

Sherry had putt just before and Cindy was even closer!

Last hole – par four and they were here in two and three-putt – great job by the ladies and we needed everything we could to tie!

Papa – Buck – and Jim – friends since the 70s – Jim is now retired as both Buck and me.

Cindy – Sherry – Dottie – arriving at number 18 – and at that time we did not know what they were shooting or that they had to par to win the match!

We try as often as we can to get together – having great times as friends for years.

Playing their drive on number 18 – par four – they ended up on the edge of the green.

Magnolia Greens as far as I am concerned is one of the best courses in our area – 27 holes and in great shape.

Sherry putt the third shot for birdie and was about five feet away.

Friends at Magnolia Greens golf course – Gals vs Guys – tied after 18 holes – love these peeps.

Friends for years and years – Dottie – Jim – Buck – Cindy – Sherry – Papa – food from back home in WNY –

Beef On Wicks – Potato salad – Coleslaw for our New Years’ eve dinner at Magnolia Greens just outside Leland, N.C.

This is a tradition in WNY – thinly sliced beef in juice ( drippings) on Kimelwick rolls!

Horseraddish or hot mustard – and the two salads to go long with it.

You can see the beef-on-wicks on the plate next to Dottie.

Back home in WNY – in Olean, N.Y, is the famous restaurant “BEEF and BARREL” where they have carving stations of huge sides of beef and you tell them how you like it doe and they carve it for you!

We all grew up with this.

These are mouth-watering – and the rolls are salted on top – with seeds – soft rolls and yummy!

A tradition for all of us – our roots in WNY.

Thanks for reading – and yes you can buy all of this at WEGMANS if you have a store close to you – they have gradually worked their way South and we had five of six stores in the NVA area and in Va. Beach area.

After dinner, it was celebrating New Year’s Eve with close friends –

Papa’s World – Muirs Beach

We were on our way for our appointment –

To enter Muir ‘s Forest to see the Redwoods –

when we got redirected to Muir’s Beach –

because we were 15 minutes early !

Good Morning

Not knowing anything about this –

It was another unexpected visit to something we had not planned !

Buck – Cindy and Sherry
in the parking lot of Muir’s Beach

Now we had to drive about ten minutes down the Mountain –

and it was FOGGY !

In the parking lot – I could see all these houses on the hill side

and the fog was just lifting.

Walk way to the beach

When he said beach -my first thought was –

there must be a small lake somewhere up here !

And when we got there

A cluster of houses dotted the hill side

Who lives way out here and how do they get food ?

How dumb was I ?

Well – this was no pond- lake –

It was a BEACH on the COVE of the OCEAN !

Muir’s Beach
Muir’s Beach

Now I understood why all the houses and there must be another road !

Muir’s Beach

We had been directed to the Ocean

and all the while we were in the mountains driving to Muir’s Forest

I had no idea on the other side of the mountain

we were that close !

Walking the dune

And there were people on the beach !

Cindy coming up from the beach
Tom & Buck

The view those houses had after the fog lifted –

later found out one of Sherry’s woman’s group

actually taught school there!

On the path back from the beach

THANK YOU !

Papa’s World – Night at Barefoot landing with Christmas lights.

Barefoot Landing, North Myrtle Beach, S.C. all lit up with Christmas lights – a magical place!

Soon after a beach day for a few hours – we headed for Barefoot Landing, about forty minutes away.

This perhaps is our favorite place to go and walk – even during the day – once around is a little over a mile – plus all the shops!

We first went here when we lived for nine months in a condo at ocean Keyes – in N.M.B. and during the pandemic.

This was mostly a ghost town then – but walking in the open air and sunshine was our therapy for covid.

Throughout the pandemic – we have been down here – living our dream life and now every day is an adventure.

PAPA’S WORLD: Family beach time – SUNSET BEACH, N.C.

Papa’s World – sometimes it’s by accident you find a nugget

Good Morning

Exploring makes you hungry – and questioning – where do we stop ?

On this day we completely drove to and around Lake Tahoe – 180 miles !

While the ladies were up on top at Squaw Valley –

They overheard a conversation –

and our next destination was fixed –

A nugget in the El Dorado Mountains

First I must say – the California Gold Rush was in these mountains –

So much so – that this building was built in 1850 –

one year after that first gold was found

Right on top of what was known as THE THREE MILE MINE !

Entrance to the THREE MILE MINE

And – when we requested to eat in the cellar –

we were much surprised to find the entrance to said GOLD MINE

right next to where we were seated!

Sherry – Cindy – Buck

We were eating amongst historical fact!

SMITH FLAT HOUSE was the over heard conversation

and believe me when I say NO WHERE –

because with out GPS – we NEVER would of found it !

Bars on windows – 1850 !

The history here is GOLD WAS FOUND HERE !

And the mine shaft – tunnel runs three miles to the town court house !

Powder room

And in a room just past where we sat – all the mines POWDER was stored!

This also was one of the stops on the PONY EXPRESS !

And the Comstock Wagon Train Stop !

We had no idea when driving miles to find it

In fact – when we first arrived

we almost walked away –

There is a huge outdoor seating area – covered – but it was hot –

103 degrees hot – we had come off the mountains –

Sherry

And we could not find anyone to wait on us outside !

So – we decided to go inside just in case –

There was a big party going on

then we saw a sign that pointed down to the cellar

At that moment I caught the attention of a waiter

It was 3:00 PM. Dinner did not start until 4:00

But we could go downstairs

and order lunch !!!!!

The soft pine bar
where MARK TWAIN STOOD AND DRANK

That is when we found out the history –

MARK TWAIN was here!

This place has been serving food since the mid 1850’s !

And that food was what Sherry said the best CHEESE BURGER

she has EVER eaten – she does not eat them !

But she ate every crumb of that one !

Sometimes you find that nugget

If that conversation were not over heard

and if we had not had GPS

The nugget in them thar hills would not of been !

Sometimes it pays to listen and this was one of them !

Good day everyone from Cameron Woods Community in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C., LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

We all walked up to the new pickleball courts and the family played for about an hour. Above is Taylor and Bode on one side and Marcus on the other side.

Here Tammy is on one side and Sherry and Cassidy on the other. The courts are brand new and hoping soon the center will be finished and we can use it and the pool when it gets warm.

Bode and Taylor – we were here for almost one hour – a beautiful day in the low 60s! Love this area and the temperatures.

About to get our drinks and then the food starts coming while the show begins and continues for two hours!

It was a very good show and all were impressed – the Christmas show is different from the regular show!

After it was over we gathered outside for a picture in front of the Christmas tree.

Papa’s World – Shopping and lunch at Southport, N.C.

The boat harbor at Southport – we took the grandkids and parents shopping and then lunch on the water!

Cassidy and Bode and Taylor – on the main street intersection with all the little shops.

Southport is a neat little town – with many side streets with all types of mom-and-pop shops!

The parents loved it as did the grandkids.

Waiting for our table at FISHY-FISH on the water.

The sheriff pulled in for a lunch stop while we were there!

At our table after waiting a few minutes!

Papa’s World – Around Lake Tahoe – continued

Good morning

As we drive – the scenery continues to amaze me –

I have never seen anything like this.

People are everywhere

Over one Million people visit this area each year –

and believe it or not –

there is six months of skiing here !

Beautiful sand beaches

Average snow fall – 420 inches !

Average water temperature –

low of 42 – high of 64 – too cold for me !

Cindy and Sherry

As we continued around Lake Tahoe –

a cluster of really tall buildings came into sight –

unusual as we had seen nothing but two or three story buildings !

The Edgewood

We turned in at the main intersection –

These were hotels and casino’s !

And a golf course –

We had unbeknownst arrived at EDGEWOOD –

A course home to a PGA event seen by us numerous times on TV.

Where they sponsor a PRO – AM in addition to the tournament.

Edgewood

We decided to have lunch –

and what a experience we did not anticipate !

View of the beach
From the terrace

Everywhere we looked from the dinning room –

a view of the course and of the lake.

Buck and Cindy

After we dined – we took in the resort –

walking the grounds –

and I would say you could putt a golf ball anywhere on the expanse of lawn

Ready to leave

A pleasant surprise – a fine lunch – a chance to mingle –

However – a great deal of money to play !

Yes – we could of played a twi-light round –

Not this time !

One last glimpse from the car –

just another adventure completed –

Papa’s World – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog INTO THE NEW YEAR – THOUGHTS and HUMOR!

Papa’s World – The power to take your life in a new direction!

It was not easy to decide to sell our home – almost everything in it –

and move to another state – some 450 miles away!

It all started with the stock market slide – around the time the Pandemic hit!

Our retirement is in the 401 K and it took a big hit!

But – there is always a but!

The housing market was taking off!

From the last reduction in prices around 2006 –

and losing in that market –

We were now almost even – a rebound!

And it was going up!

Our oldest grand kids – Maddy Sarah Ella

With the three oldest grand kids

One in college – one in the fall in college and one who has a life of her own

And the three little ones – we would make it a point to return often –

after all – we were retired – and Sherry had her home based business –

that could go anywhere with phone and internet service

We would sell!

AND WE DID!

After 14 1/2 years – with the downturn behind us in the housing market

WE MADE A PROFIT and had all of our equity!

We followed our plan – sold our house and furniture –

for three months we went back and forth between our daughters houses!

We had our equity to either rent – or buy – we had choices!

And then by chance – I stumbled upon this – having no thought of moving to S.C. !

Our view today – we left end of September and went to North Myrtle Beach to Ocean Keyes!

Since that time – we have been home twice – holidays for three weeks – and now for a week!

The grand kids have been down – the little ones – and by the time you read this –

the older ones will have been here!

Our family – when we returned for a visit.

Our family when they came to visit!

We have started a new life – away but close enough to make it home in seven hours.

We are happy in our senior years – living life to the plus each day!

A new life – walking the beach every day –

We have each other – we have family and we have friends.

It was not easy – but God works in ways I can not explain.

We have started a new life and a new house build!

It will be done around the early part of June!

We had no idea a year ago we would be doing this!

Papa’s World – Thinking of family far away!

The family is far away – but ever so near in our hearts – all have at one time or another come for visits – bringing us together again.

Trisha and Shawn – my youngest son – from NWPA – a long way to travel – FLY MY SON – FLY!!!

Andrea and Troy – my oldest son – also from back home in NWPA – a long way – close to our hearts.

Ella – Mike – Sarah – Debby ( Sherry’s oldest daughter) Maddy – the Myers family from NVA – not as far – but still a drive!

Marcus – Taylor – Doggy Marley – Cassidy Tammy ( Sherry’s youngest daughter) Bode – NVA – the closest to us 6 1/2 hours away.

The beach beacons to one and all – the WHY we moved here – “THINKING OF OUR FAMILY – FAR AWAY”!

Papa’s World – GOOD VIBES and THOUGHTS!

The world is connected – sometimes you see in clouds what you see in nature! Awesome works!!

Spread your kindness and cheer – smiles are free!

Being happy is a frame of mind – love and peace – gratitude and giving what you can!

Have a coffee – tea or your choice – just enjoy the moment.

Papa’s World reflects the above one day at a time and living life to the plus every day!

Papa’s World – funny things – laughs and smiles – WELCOME!

Papa’s World – this would be so me – I am just not a runner – but walk I will!

I am more of a beer man – light beer – unless we are doing shots! LOL FIREBALL!

Reminds me of our grandkid’s doggy – “MARLEY” although MARLEY is a girl!

What is a round of golf without the cart girl! Love our cart girls!

I hope this brings some smiles today – to start your day off in the right frame of mind – laugh – smile and HGD!
