We all stay in touch – a group of friends from back in the days living in WNY and WPA!
Slowly we all moved South – to now the N.C. region – Wilmington to OIB
with one couple in Va. Beach and the other couple still in WNY.
Mike and Carol still live back in WNY – own and operate a large painting business with crews traveling out to the midwest and everywhere in between – painting pipelines etc.
They have a lake house that we go up and stay with them.
Our family from NWPA drove 14 1/2 hours to be with us for one week – and the first night –
we took them to Sunset Beach to the pier – to experience the famous Sunset Beach – sunset!
The air was warm as was the water at 80 degrees.
Many people come here to fish until midnight when the pier closes.
THE SUNSET at Sunset Beach, N.C. frfom the pier.
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – On Sunset Beach pier to see the sunset with family.
We have been planning this for months – both sons will visit at the same time with their loved ones!
Papa – Troy the oldest – Andrea his partner – Sherry – Trisha and Shawn my youngest and his stepdaughter Autumn on the pier at Sunset Beach.
We moved South to NVA in 1999 – both boys stayed in NWPA.
They still work and live there.
It took them 14 1/2 hours to drive down to our new home in Cameron Woods, Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.
They spent a whole week with us – beach time – exploring nature walks – Boardwalk On The Beach and
Barefoot Landing.
Holden Beach – Mary Gone Wild – Calabash waterfront – North Myrtle Beach –
Free open-air concert – Mini Golf – plus many laughs and a few drinks!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – my sons and loved ones come to visit.
PAPA’S WORLD : my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
TWELVE DAYS of non-stop activity – crossing off all that was on the list plus whatever we added!
Ferry rides – Fort Fisher – aquarium – scavenger hunt – arts and crafts at the park – Wonder Works in Boardwalk on the Beach – Lulu’s and playground at Barefoot Landing – Plus Bullys for lunch –
Then there were go-carts – mini golf – beach time – tidal pool – fireworks – golf cart parade – walking and riding bikes – crafts at home – IPAD time –
There was more – twelve days worth – and yes we were exhausted – but even now we miss them.
The parents came for overnight and then headed to Topsail Beach for vacation with Marcus’s family.
The kids were excited as they would see their cousins and grandparents.
It was a full twelve days of non-stop going – playing – creating – laughing – and they were so good!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – MY SITE: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
When they are home – it is outside they go – playing with friends – riding bikes!
So – before they came to visit for twelve days – we asked them to think about what they wanted to do!
And they came up with a list for each one to do and day by day we crossed those items off –
somedays more than one!
I still can not believe we did all of this – each day we added and crossed off – one by one.
And yes – by the end we were exhausted – but it was a good feeling and now –
They are gone and I wish they were back.
You should see the LIST – things that they wanted to do and wrote down!
We have one more to do – tomorrow – MINI GOLF!
Bode has wanted to play mini-golf on this one course in North Myrtle Beach
since we have been down here for two years!
The one that has the Airplane and Helicoper!
And the crafts they have done and completed – hours and hours of doing them!
We have been going to the beach every other day, mostly in late afternoons or early evenings.
That way – they will not get sunburned and they are now so tanned!
Having them here has been a joy – it will be twelve days total and their parents will pick them up.
Excitement – laughter – and some groans – but all in all – they have been very good.
Last year it was one week – this year twelve days – and we have done a lot in those times!
“PAPA – MORMOR – WHAT ARE WE DOING NEXT”?
I am going to miss them when they leave but will see them in a couple weeks –
they are going with their parents for an additional week on the beach at Topsail, N.C.
Then home and for two weeks will practice with a professional crew from California
in the musical LION KING!
We are going home to watch them.
Almost every day weather permitting – for the last 8 to 10 years – a man ( I do not know his name)
appears on the beach with just a shovel and draws these amazing MAZES!
There have been numerous newspaper articles – Facebook and other social pages and stories
of his unique style of PUZZLES on the beach at low tide.
The diagram also has instructions on how to TURN at each intersection –
you can not just walk straight through – you must turn in any direction.
The articles I have read – he does this as a hobby and for years for his wife until she passed away.
He decided to continue in her memory each day – she would accompany him and test out the MAZE!
I would like to meet him and talk to him!
While we were there for 45 minutes – at least a hundred people stopped and tried to solve the MAZE!
Although Ocean Isle Beach is closer to our home – we always take the company to Sunset Beach!
The beach is wider and more flat and shallow!
Plus – Sunset Beach is more residential and not as commercial.
The two – Bode and Cassidy are just alike although it is Taylor and Cassidy who are the twins.
Taylor takes after her MorMor who is tall – as do her cousins Sarah and Ella.
All three are going to be over 5’10”!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
One of the reasons we moved to this area on the border of N.C. and S.C. is the golfing!
We have almost 25 courses within 30 minutes of our location and we love to golf.
Our friends also live down here and we try to golf once a week with them.
Our community of Cameron Woods we chose because it was not clearcut –
a lot of old-growth is here and we love that!
Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
“I ordered a new rug for the lanai,” said my wife!
You see – we just had it inclosed as you can see in my previous blogs.
And – true to our concept of BEACH THEME – she nailed it!
So now with the new rug, we decided to move the waterproof mat outside on the open patio!
We are slowly getting it all in place – landscaping and such.
We are holding off on painting inside until after the one-year warranty.
Now we are experimenting with flowers and how they react to the warm summer weather.
The lawn is looking really good as I have fertilized it myself.
When we sold the last home – we sold all my outdoor lawn devices –
keeping a few to trim trees and bushes.
Shovel to dig with and a couple rakes.
Lawnmowing we have hired done every 14 or 15 days.
” IN WITH THE NEW – OUTSIDE WITH THE OLD”
We were excited when we moved near the border of S.C. and N.C. – a ten-minute drive to the beach.
A lot of nights we just look at each other after cleaning up the kitchen and “LET’S GO”!
Ocean Isle Beach is a ten-minute drive over the causeway and to the sand.
However – we really like to drive the extra five minutes and go to Sunset Beach!
Here we drive to the far west end and park and walk the long boardwalk over the dunes.
Even at this time, the beach is busy with people – swimming – walking, or catching late rays from the sun.
The beach here is flatter than OIB and we like that!
Sunset Beach after dinner – one of the WHYS we moved here to Cameron Woods Community.
When the project of saving the beach from erosion on OIB on the East end came to a close –
not only was there a new 900-foot wide new beach –
but it was full of dredged up seashells and of course, the little ones went searching!
These three – esp Bode and Cassidy – you have to have something planned out to do every day!
MORMOR is Swede for MOTHERSMOTHER!
All three just love her – Cassidy calls her every week or texts her often.
This summer we will travel North to their home and bring them back for a week with us.
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
We moved farther south – all the way to the border of N.C and S.C.
We wanted it to be warm in the winter – four seasons without snow and ice.
We wanted to be close enough to the beach that we could drive and spend hours there or walk.
A place family and friends would visit – one floor – but enough room to have people stay.
It is a quiet place – room to walk –
friendly neighbors – we all are new here.
Our life has changed – we did like where we were – but times change – getting older
has a way of making those changes.
Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD
my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
As soon as we said we are going to take a walk – They both jumped up and off we went!
They love their MORMOR – Swede for MOTHERSMOTHER!
They are really close to her – Cassidy always calling – texting – face time or zoom calls – every week.
Taylor joining in “HI MORMOR”!
“MORMOR – guess what”?
“MORMOR – I got a new book”!
“MORMOR – only 10 days until we see you”!
And so it goes week to week – MORMOR and the TWINS!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World, MY SITE: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
Our family came to spend their spring break with us before Easter.
We spent a lot of time between beaches – and it was a warm week for water and sand.
Shelling – walking – boogie boards – blowing sand – no rain – warm sun and family time.
Taylor excels in horseback riding and grooming – riding lessons once a week.
She is very tall for her age and will be taller than her MORMOR Sherry –
who is almost 5’10”.
Ella has already matched Sherry and Sarah will soon.
These two are so much alike that they should have been the twins.
Bode will end up also being very tall.
Her warmth and caring – her love of her MORMOR whom she calls all the time.
Her use of YOUTUBE for art projects and drawings.
She is playing soccer as is Bode.
She is quick – fast and agile.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World my blog: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
This time it is Debby and Ella – the spring break is almost over –
and Debby has to drop her off on her way home at Randolph College in Lynchburg Va.
But we had a fantastic six whole days with them!
The weather was cool here the entire time as it was all up and down the East coast.
And the day they left it got almost to 80 degrees!
But – we had days and days of walking the beaches and Ella even went in one day!
Tears of joy in that we were able to spend the time together –
the laughs and new places to explore.
Next time their whole family will be here – and it will be warmer.
The surf and sand beckon – that is our WHY in moving down here.
NOT SAYING GOODBYE – BUT UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN – PAPA’S WORLD – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
We became neighbors back in 1988 – but we knew them before that!
Cindy and Buck lived right across the street from us –
They were the first to move South – to the Wilmington – Leland area in N.C.
We would visit on vacations
and that is when we started to think in the future we would move to the area.
Today we live some 32 miles away from them –
we often get together to golf – see concerts or theaters.
A Sunday watching the bills
Boating or going out to dinner.
We have for years traveled the World together on vacations.
I have known both Jim and Dottie for 40 plus years.
They moved to Va. Beach
and we have celebrated birthdays and good times there with them.
Jimmy and I played softball together in the late ’70s
We are golfing buddies
and Jim – Sherry and I all worked for American Olean Tile – Dal-Tile
and Jim still works for them.
Hoping to retire soon.
We have been blessed to have them all in our BESTIES circle – a very long time!

When completed – this huge granite rock break wall –
will allow the sand that is dredged from the channel
and pumped out and form a new beach to the left of the wall.
The first and second streets are no longer here
have eroded away.
These houses were in danger as high tide brought the ocean right up and underneath them.
You can see the very large sandbags that were placed to try and save the homes.
Water would run right up to them and underneath.
The beach will continue along the shore – and the sand will build up against the wall of granite rocks.
Each rock weighs in tons – three at a time are transported by forty-foot tractor truck and trailers.
Thanks for reading Papa’s World MY BLOG: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
For the past twenty-plus years – the beach here has eroded away – taking with it the ends of first and second streets. Third street and fourth street were in danger as the waves came up and under some of the houses. They started building the break wall that extends some 900 feet straight out and into the ocean, and then a right turn and a short distance – the boulders are huge granite – three boulders to a forty-foot long trailer bed – hauled in by the truckloads.
All the beach you now see in this picture is being pumped in from the dredging of the channel behind the groin – which they do anyways to keep the channel clear for boats.
The “GROIN” will continue until late April when it will be completed. Here you see the pipes blowing out sand to form the new beach.
Large bulldozers spread the sand out and the next picture shows how deep the sand is.
I will continue with the next blog on The TERMINAL GROIN PROJECT”

We are blessed in that we can see both the sunrise and sunset from our patio and driveway!
Our house sets so that we face North and South –
So the sun rises from the right as you stand on the front porch – and sets to the left as you stand there.
We knew when we selected this lot – that this is what we would have as we stood in the road
before we put our down payment on the lot at 2:30 in the afternoon.
With the tree line in the back is protected and not cut down – this made shade for the back yard-
while the front porch all day long would have shade.
That is what I wanted most – a place to sit and talk to people as they walked by.
The day we visited the model – this lot became available after someone withdrew their downpayment.
It was just meant to be as we had no idea what this development looked like –
and we had just been to visit a condo some 4 miles away.
Five minutes into the tour of the model – Sherry was sold!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World and our new home in Cameron Woods, Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.
We do seem to have sunrises and sunsets here just by walking outside –
go to the end of the driveway – look right – SUNRISE look left – SUNSET!
But the beauty of the two beaches is what has drawn us to Cameron Woods – Ocean Isle Beach!
Although OIB is closer – we prefer to walk on Sunset beach as it is more level!
And when we have grandkids – we bring them here as it is calmer.
What we noticed here in N.C and S.C at North Myrtle Beach – is just how wide the beaches are!
Even at high tide!
Not many people here this day during the week -but there were families enjoying the sand!
Another sun-filled day and a beach walk – why we moved here – dream come true.

Just a little over a month later from our New Years Eve beach gathering and toast to 2021
We once again were back to see the sunset – only it was windy and cold –
far from the 65 degrees of NYE!
We first parked and walked to the end of the street – here the last of the end of the houses –
and this then begins Bird Island – marshland protected and wide-open beach.
The tide was going out!
As we looked out on the ocean – to think we can do this every night if we want to –
and there still is Ocean Isle Beach – living our dream.

MEMORIES of our week on Oak Island, N.C.
We stayed close to the beach for one week.
The kids were small ( the twins) and the tidal pools were great!
We had a great view of a huge open lot and then one house at the beachfront!
It was a direct walk to the beach entrance.
MEMORIES of OAK ISLAND!
We had a perfect week with weather – sunshine and blue skies.
Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD – my blog site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
Life is full of memories – past experiences – vacations – get-togethers – sharing fun times!
We told them all that we would only be 6 or 7 hours away and we have done that!
And that we would come back often and we have done that also!
They have visited numerous times and Spring and Summer are ahead to make more MEMORIES!
Maddy – today a Junior at the University of Lynchburg.
Sarah – A freshman in H.S.
Ella – today a Freshman at Randolph College
Both are older girls who play college soccer.
MEMORIES of past and present!
MEMORIES of vacation times spent together.
Crossing the sound on a ferry boat!
Many a year we spent together as families – in the sun – water and sand!
MEMORIES of times in the past.
They are close with each other and with their mother Sherry –
All three ran the ten-mile Cherry Blossom race – crossing the finish line holding hands.
MOTHER AND DAUGHTERS BONDING – MEMORIES!
When a person comes into your life and you share 40 years together forming MEMORIES!
Today – we are by ourselves in N.C. while the families remain in Va.
Although distance separates us – memories – love and ZOOM – keep us all together!
MEMORIES of families in transit!
Thanks for reading my MEMORIES on PAPA’S WORLD – MY BLOG: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
She is the fashion queen amongst all the grandkids – and is almost as tall as Sherry!
The years have passed and she is growing up!
MEMORIES OF SARAH!
The oldest when she was little – the memory of then!
She is playing soccer for the Unversity of Lynchburg – and has played since she was a Freshman.
As a Sophomore, she was third-team all-conference and as a Junior – second-team all-conference!
So proud of this young lady who pursued a college soccer career.
They went to Division III NCAA 64 team playoffs where they lost in the last 2 minutes 3 to 2!
MEMORIES of when she was young!

PAPA’S WORLD: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
Some were big – some were small – others were barely walking and two were tall!
Oak Island – family times – family vacation.
MEMORIES as I recall – all in one location – joy for all!
The sweetness of youth – the bonding of cousins.
MEMORIES of the little ones and memories of the bigger ones!
MEMORIES of innocence – laughter – funny looks!
MEMORIES of crawling – then unsteady steps – walking and running!

Our time to leave is almost upon us – we turned the golf cart in – almost five hours of riding around!
Be sure if you do this – check out what places to eat are open!
On Wednesday – ONLY ONE WAS OPEN!
Also – find a map – we found one at the Ferry Boat Terminal – you will need it!
If more than two of you – I suggest a cart with seats – facing forward – it is hard to see looking back!
Sit outside if you can – find the sunshine – and watch for the boats!
I had no idea they patrolled these waters here!
I did not expect to see this – among the many barrier islands here
and between the mainland and Bald Head Island!
Making me wonder if that is why the Coast Guard is here?
And just how deep is this channel here?
Thanks for reading! MY BLOG SITE: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog email above!
There was hardly anyone here on the beach – in the distance, we could see a few people –
And we watched the fishing boats offshore – some dozen of them –
Soon – we spotted the Dolphins – two pods – they seemed oh so close to the edge of the water.
Soon – our little tour would be over – I would try to get a golf car where everyone is sitting forward!
It was hard to see as you were always looking backwards –
And – pick up a map at the ferry depot.
You can get mixed up really easily and end up in dead ends!

NEXT BLOG – SAYING GOODBYE TO BALD HEAD ISLAND – and CROSSING THE BAY BY FERRY!
We found every place we stopped and walked onto the beach to be like these pictures!
Hardly anyone around to be seen!
We could see a dozen fishing ships and Dolphins from the beach.
The island is full of these beach access’s with places to park your golf cart.
We stopped many times to wander and sightsee!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – part four will continue the tour of BALD HEAD ISLAND!
BALD HEAD ISLAND PART FOUR – in my next blog – thanks for reading! HGD!!!!!!
The streets are two-way – most of them – through the housing – the houses are a mixture of cape-cod and craftsman style. Two stories and little cottages in the front. Most have elevated views of the ocean and many are beachfront.
We had the car for about five hours – and also a map to get around. Here we can see where we want to go – but it is on the other side of the channel – we had to retrace our way back to the main road.
The island has a main road that goes all the way around – and many roads into neighborhoods!
They can be dead ends or through a maze of roads cut through to the other side.
So it is best to have the map.
There also is a 18 hole golf course here – we caught glimpses of it through the trees.

TOURING BALD HEAD ISLAND BY GOLF CART – to be continued in the next PAPA’S WORLD BLOG!
We tried many areas down here and were drawn to this area in N.C. called Ocean Isle Beach.
We are some eight miles or so to the S.C. border – and we are situated on the mainland –
some four miles inland with the ICW between us and the beach.
We also are close to numerous golf courses – which is another reason we moved South.
We decided as we age – it was time to take it serious – well – we are not good – but love to play!
We tried out NMB in S.C. and really liked it there – but in order to find what we wanted –
we each had a list – it would of cost too much in renovations and thus way over our price point.
Then by accident – we stumbled on to a new community being built.
And we could get everything we wanted – all new – for the price we would of paid before renovations!
We are in our autumn years – still able to get out and about – and one of those reasons why –
is to maintain a healthy lifestyle – eating and walking.
Sherry is a CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH – and prompts me to stay active.
That also is why we golf – being outside in the fresh air –
four to five hours each time – some walking – we trade off and on – and swinging those clubs(often)
She has run her own internet business from home going on sixteen years.

WHERE FRIENDS MEET OUR FAMILY – FAMILY MEETS OUR FRIENDS
Although Ocean Isle Beach is a ten minute drive – we seem to be going to Sunset Beach more often!
This beach is a extra ten minute drive – 8 miles away.
The difference is one is commercial and the other residential.
One is not flat and the other is.
One is more calm than the other.
Both have piers – both have plenty of parking – at least we have had no problems.
And you can see how calm the water is here and the beach wide and flat at low tide.
Ocean Isle Beach has bigger waves and the beach is up and down.
There is where the mini golf is – the community park with concerts.
Bars and grills and a community center on the beach with bathrooms.
We do go to both – Ocean Isle Beach has a big Farmers market a block from the beach.
Sunset Beach has their market on the mainland side as well as their concerts are mainland.
Ocean Isle has little shops – and easy to walk around.
Many side streets and channels with houses.
Sunset Beach has a marsh on the South end and is where the Kindred Spirit mailbox is.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog email: fitztdf@aol.com
We decided to take our company to Ocean Isle Beach – play some mini golf –
walk to the ice cream store and then go out onto the beach at sunset!
The people had gathered waiting for the surprise – we did not see it – but it was beautiful.
It was a fun day – we had gone to Sunset beach in the early afternoon –
then to dinner in Calabash and after here to play mini golf and walk the beach with ice cream!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – my site – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
They were so excited to be able to go to the beach each day – and it was hot – so we decided late afternoon
would be a better time to go – and they played the whole three hours in the surf – riding boogie boards
diving under the waves and getting us nervous as they would inch out farther and farther –
until I would wade out and move them back in.
Being young as they are is a exercise in pure energy – being old as I am – it was a exercise just to stand and brace against the waves!
But – I loved every moment of it.
We did this for five afternoons – on the last night before the parents came – it was mini golf and Italian ice!
I – they – we had enough of facing the big waves and Bode wanted to play as soon as they arrived.
The twins actually ended up liking the mini golf and a lot of laughs on how each one putted the ball.
Both as different as they are but the results were the same.
The beach – we decided the last time for them – we would go to Sunset beach – and they loved it!
As did we – less commercial – more level and the sand more fine.
And it was not as rough as Ocean Isle Beach.
Taylor would stcik more in and closer to us – these two have no fear and are so alike.

Finally we have made it to our dream –
We always vacationed at the beach
up and down the EAST COAST!
Today – until the end of February
we will be next to it!
Sherry and I sold our house and rented a condo
one half mile from the beach
in North Myrtle Beach – S.C.
We did this because I just happen to come upon
this rental – and the view of this small lake
from the top floor lanai!
And the bonus – during our three mile plus walk everyday
half of that walk is on the beach!
Why for five months?
Because we do not know where we want to live
only that it will fall someplace
from here to the northern border of N.C.
We have always talked of this
But where ever we go – the criteria is twofold
We will try to stay within 7 hours of our families
in NVA.
And a place that is warm – no snow – and lots of golf!
Being here – it is warmer than where we lived in the winter
and we walk everyday –
hardly any traffic as we walk within a gated community –
until we cross a road to the beach.
I LISTEN TO HER THOUGHTS!
She has leaned over to me and said
” I REALLY LOVE THIS WALK AND PLACE”!
We are close to the over seven hours for our trip back to NVA!
The family is now a long weekend away.
We still are searching!
Oh – you can ride golf carts here!

This is along the sidewalk outside the fenced in yard – almost everything here comes back every year!
They have irrigation out here as well in the enclosed yard. It is shaded by Cypress trees –
and it is a inkling to what is inside the fence!
