Papa’s World – Memories, thoughts, and humor!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

For six years, we traveled to Lynchburg, VA.

Maddy and Ella played college soccer there at different colleges.

Both were on the same team for travel early in their lives.

Ella was number 10 while Maddy was number 13!

In college, they carried the same number.

Here – above is when they played each other in college.

Both were captains for their teams.

MEMORIES growing up!

THOUGHTS and HUMOR!

Our past is ripe with pictures of memories!

THOUGHTS of life together!

We have been living our senior years for a very long time now!

But continue to gather memories.

HUMOR is part of our lives together.

Cindy, Dottie, and Sherry.

Friends since the mid 80s.

Their time together is spent talking, laughing, and just being together.

Here – on a recent “GIRLS LONG WEEKEND” –

They stayed at our house while Jim and I stayed with Buck, who has Parkinsons.

They visited CAUSEWAY 59 just across the bridge to OIB!

Sherry and I go here for coffee – tea or breakfast and lunch!

It is a local hangout and fun to be there.

You can sit outside and overlook the marina and boats coming and going to the ICW!

There is always “HUMOR” when these three get together.

LOL – just kidding!

Thanks for reading my blogs.

MEMORIES, THOUGHTS, and HUMOR!

Papa’s World – Family visits FERRY LANDING!

This is for both daughters –

Tammy and Debby! LOL!!!!

We took Tammy, Taylor, and Bode to Ferry Landing.

This is where I took Sherry (MORMOR) during her rehab from the fall of a fractured pelvis!

Decades and decades ago –

A ferry ran here for cars and people to access the island!

We could sit in the shade and watch the boat traffic on the ICW!

In the distance – a secluded beach where dozens of boaters –

Pulled up to shore and hung out for the day!

Here is a view of the boats anchored on the beach shore,

We would spend an hour or two here –

Just watching the fishermen fish from shore or the pier.

When we arrived –

Hardly anyone was here.

We stayed maybe a half hour!

Sherry ( MORMOR) swede for MOTHERSMOTHER –

And Taylor and Bode sitting on a bench in the shade.

You can see the walkway and the fishing pier beyond them.

Across the water is Brickyard Landing and boat ramp

The Ferry would go back and forth here!

Today, it’s a huge parking lot, and here is where boats are launched into the ICW!

Later we went to Causeway 59 for lunch!

Here is a marina and canal leading to the ICW!

Thanks for reading my blog today!

It was a long weekend, and we packed a lot into it!

These are just two of the places we visited!

Papa’s World – Just looking around!

We have had snow twice in the almost six years we have been in S.C. and N.C. –

And this is a picture of the sunset for the first time!

It was not much – maybe three inches, but with the sun –

Quickly turned to ice and was gone in five days!

This is the back yard –

This year, we had a freak storm cyclone –

That is what they called it, and it came right up the coast from the South.

They even had snow in Northern Florida!

FIFTEEN INCHES is what we got in twenty-four hours.

And the wind was terrible –

Causing it to drift in places to three feet!

I thought we had left this all behind in NVA and WNY!

We did not even own a snow shovel!

I DO NOT LIKE SNOW AND ICE!

This is my idea of winter in the Carolinas!

Dress warm, and when the sun comes out –

Remove layers as it gets warmer, and it does do that!

I can live with that!

Walking on the beach as long as it is not windy-

The sand STINGS your face.

On a walk at the OIB community center in February-

About 50 degrees in the sun, but felt warmer.

So far, we love the weather of the Carolinas!

On the island of OIB-

Free Friday night music concerts from the end of May to the end of September.

Here, the seating area is starting to fill up.

You can take your own food and drinks-

The drinks can not be in a glass!

The music is good and lasts about two hours.

AND, IT IS FREE!

Friday night concerts at OIB!

Other towns nearby have their own free concerts on different nights!

A favorite place for us to go and grab a coffee or tea is Causeway 59 –

Situated just after you exit the causeway bridge to OIB!

There are three restaurants here and a marina.

We sit here and watch the boats come in to refill or to eat at the restaurants.

This is all just off the ICW, which has access to the ocean.

Just a quiet little place and good food!

We had always dreamed of living near a beach!

Today, we live near three of them, and two more are 30 to 45 minutes away.

We have this little spot we go to for coffee and tea and sometimes food!

It is right across the OIB Causeway bridge!

The name is “59 CAUSEWAY GRILL” and sits right on the water of the boat marina!

Inside is a small bar area,

And we have noticed this to be a meeting place for the locals!

While here for breakfast one morning prior to a storm front moving in –

About 6 or 7 couples filtered in.

They seemed to all know each other and the bartender!

It was close to noon, and they all ordered drinks!

The conversations were lively and interesting.

The Causeway Bridge to Ocean Isle Beach.

59 Causeway Grill – the first turn to the left –

Turn left as soon as you enter the road and pass the Gas-Station Store – “SHEFFIELDS” –

Then right into the parking area, and you have arrived!

Beyond 59 Causeway Grill is “SHARKEYS BAR AND RESTAURANT” –

And then OBI FISH COMPANY bar and restaurant.

All three are good local places to eat and drink!

Sherry is inside the dining area next to the bar-

Talking with the bartender before the crowd came in.

He was seated on a bar chair, eating his lunch.

He was familiar with the areas we had lived in WNY and NVA!

Most of the folks down here are transplants from other areas, and we find a lot of people who know the area –

Where we are from.

The glider and sign on our front covered porch!

The sun is setting –

Our neighborhood is quiet-

Once again, we had ventured to the island –

Had breakfast-lunch at 59 Causeway Grill!
