PAPA’S WORLD – OUR meaning of life – my blog: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
Love – family – happy – caring – together -bonding – are but a few words to describe our grandkids.
Papa’s World tries to bring you each day – a little more happiness to your life.
A little relief from everyday negative news – sharing goodness – family and friends.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF PAPA’S WORLD – a journey for all of us – and a day to remember!
My early childhood was spent in a little town in NWPA called Eldred.
Near the NYS border and just across the mountain from Bradford-
home of Kendall – Penns oil – Quaker State and the South Penn oil fields.
Growing up here was like the movie “STAND BY ME”
I had friends like that – and road my bike everywhere!
Curfew for me was
BE HOME BEFORE THE STREET LIGHTS COME ON”!

Is there anyone out there that does not look at themselves in a mirror
and wonder
“HOW DID THIS HAPPEN”? LOL
Things in life – we eat to survive – but we also do by habits!
Things in life : We look at the heavens –
wondering – seeing painted pictures.
The stars at night – the Moon and planets – clouds – storms –
the wonder of nature –
The questions – WHO WHAT WHY WHERE WHEN all form when looking toward the heavens!
The things in life – ever changing – the World revolves –
We age – we think back –
and then – you are a senior –
Where did it go?
Sometimes it takes a second –
but we mostly can tell!
Things in life do not always seem to be as we see them!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
THINGS IN LIFE!
A very smart man – a profound way to look at nature and how we have a effect on it!
THINGS IN LIFE!
THINGS IN LIFE: The main reason I am alive today – I had a widow maker heart attack – 4 by passes.
7 1/2 years ago – she has led me on a healthy life –
a life that I follow because of her and her training.

This blog site is a quiet place to think – ponder and believe in yourself.
Have faith – kindness and friends and family in your life.
To remove STRESS – live as you can and stay away from the TV news!

As my heart doctor has always told me “MOVE” – do not stay idle!
Live your life – enjoy and make new friends – life is short – live your dreams!

Our view here I shall always remember – in all we will be here for nine months!
I captured this shot as a flock of geese were coming right at me before
rising up over the lanai and roof.
We decided to build – that way we would have everything we wanted
A single story – no stairs – covered front porch – screened in covered lanai.
Close to the beach ( four miles) in the country!
Close to golfing ( over 20 courses near by)
And with in 6 1/2 hours to travel back home
or family to travel here!
We will have around 1900 sf. of heated space –
in addition to a 140 sf covered and screened in lanai
and a open 10 x 14 concrete patio.
There will be a covered front porch
and views of the neighborhood.
The back will be woods with no one building there
as it will be a conservation area.
We will be four miles to Ocean Isle Beach and six miles to Sunset Beach
A thirty minute drive back to North Myrtle Beach
and a fifthteen minute drive to Calabash
and a fifthteen minute drive to Shallotte.
All this in the middle of some twenty golf courses we will be playing!
But – all the inspections have been completed
and our contractor calls us every Monday to give updates
and answer any questions!
We drive over every Sunday – no one is working!
That way – if it is not raining – we can get out and look it over!
This will be our third house together building.
All three were unique and we have input on all of them.

This is part two – when we pause the TV – all of a sudden the screen saver becomes MEMORIES –
Pictures start rolling through of the past and we find ourselves just watching them!
Today they are grown up – two in college – one in H.S. “MEMORIES”!
Today – college for two – H.S. for the other – camping – hiking – sunrises – sunsets and campfires.
Time has passed – memories and now new memories.
So many memories – so many great times – so many thoughts – so much love – so much family!
Past memories – present memories in the making – PUSH PAUSE – and sit back and watch!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – my blog: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
I do this to chronicle life – our family lives for future generations to see and read
Whenever we push pause on the TV – in a second pictures start circulating – ones we have forgotten!
It seems somehow it is tied into the cloud – and MEMORIES start a procession across the screen!
At first, I just sat there and watched them roll by – then I grabbed my phone and started taking pictures.
You see – most of these have been deleted from my phone or are so far back it takes a long time –
to find them!
Since I am not a “TECHIE” so to speak – Sherry explained where they were coming from!
However, it happens – I am thrilled to see them all once again.
PUSH PAUSE and see the MEMORIES come forth.
I will continue in my next blog.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
We had seen the sunset on the beach – had a fire in the Solo Stove – a putting and chipping contest.
Snacks – food – some drinks and now the TV was tuned into Karaoke with music and the words.
LET THE PARTY BEGIN!
The night was young – over three hours to midnight – a lot of Karaoke ahead!
That broke the ice and then the songs came – one by one!
It was a fun time – new friends and neighbors with our oldest friends.
It was a happy night – full of friendship – fun and song.

Dottie – Jim – Sherry – Cindy – Papa and Buck – we decided to take our chairs – champaign – glasses
aNd celebrate watching the sunset before going back to the house for a Solo Fire outside –
Food and snacks – some more friends – and Karaoke!
We choose Sunset Beach just beci=ause as the name suggests – great SUNSETS!
And we were not disappointed!
A lot of people were on the beach and some even had been swimming!

Family is and has been our lives. Tight family ties – long distance now – but just a ZOOM away!
There was a time between houses that they stayed with us in Brambleton, Va.
Tight families do that.
They now are eleven years old – one taller – one who cares for her baby brother –
One who loves riding and grooming horses and reading –
one who is so artistic – making things like her MorMor –
One who is so gentle with the puppy and training her-
One that is in constant contact with us.
TWINS WHO ARE GROWING UP IN SEPARATE WAYS!
Today – they all are growing up so fast – where has the time gone?
Today – we are far away – but yet so close with zoom and calls.
Trips are made both ways – family bond – family tight – family!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
Blessed to be able and healthy to spend time with family.
Full of energy – laughter and just hanging with them.

The little guy learned that not hiking is in the mountains like he thought!
Crossing streams or climbing rocks – that is all he had ever done on a hike
Showing him nature – the marsh – water – sand – scrub trees –
He learned that there is more to this Earth – hoping to bring him back
in warm weather as we were told you could see “GATORS” then!
They were excited – walking into the trees on the sand path –
looking for birds – snakes – spiders
hearing the sounds and the marsh views!

Life is aging and so are these grandchildren, the oldest is ( 2 ) in college and Bode is seven!
As they get older – it becomes harder to gather everyone in one location.
And now – we are six to seven hours away.
But – pictures such as this bring back a flood of memories.
MEMORIES of the grandchildren.
If I could turn back time as Cher sings!
But – in all my blogs – I have pictures of them all – for when I am gone – these will remain –
for future generations to come.

We have rekindled our friendship of long – long ago – grade school and H.S. buddies.
Bob and I grew up together – playing sports – sleepovers and sleep outsides-
Countless adventures while growing up in a little town in North West Pa. called ELDRED!
Now – like Mayberry – everyone knew your name –
and like Stand by me – we had a group of friends –
it was just that way.
This place is in high demand – so mush so they built a brand new sitting area covered outside!
It is part of a group of restaurants – Clarks in Little River – and Oyster Rock also in Calabash.
Each one is hard to get into – reservations are the way EXCEPT-
Sherry walked in and found that the bar tables are first to come and first served!
Even though there were 20 plus people in line!
Just a hint on how to get seating – we did not know!
Boundry house is a destination to take friends – good food – good atmosphere and good company!

And then it is onto writing my blog – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog !
All this is early – and depends on when I wake up – mostly bathroom! LOL
Once up – it is hard for me to fall back asleep – so I just get up and fix that cup of coffee!
Sunrises here are really something – the ocean is but four miles away!
This street for construction is almost done – two houses left – right across the street –
and one down two lots from us.
All the rest are down where the corner is and then around the cul-de-sac.
Everything today needs a password – and I just can not remember them all – so I have a special place
I keep them safe – where I am the one who knows where to look ( Sherry knows also) !
It is a quiet place except for the on going construction – which by years end should be done where we live.
The new phase is now having the infrastrucure put in and is away from us.
We choose this area because we are on the mainland side – then the ICW – then the houses and business
of Ocean Isle Beach and the beach itself!
We also are close to Sunset beach – another three miles!
We are near the border of S.C and a lot of golf courses!
This area is full of places to visit and dine – all with views!

This room is where we put pictures of Mount Nebo – the historic 1800’s eight sided Swedish church –
which was built by the Swedes who settled here. It also is the final resting place of her realatives.
There is a copy of a very old map of the town of Mount Jewett – which we just framed but have not hung yet.
And of course the historic Kinzua railraod bridge – constructed in the late 1800’s –
across a valley and over 300 feet high and a mile long – and part of it taken down by a tornado!
This same bridge is where they filmed a episode of the TV series “BIGFOOT”!
This was all territory that belonded to the Seneca Indian tribe before the white man.
The office is to the right and behind that wall in the center. To the right is the hall leading to the garage and laundry room. We choose this model for the open concept and the enclosed office space.

In part we choose this development because it has a place to walk! Quietly – and not much traffic!
This area was supposed to be developed much like Ocean Ridge across the street –
where the BIG CAT golf courses – four of them – are located.
When the downturn came – this section discontinued development –
somehow – Realstar became involved and is developing Cameron Woods in among all the lots that were previously
sold by the main developer.
For whatever reason – no one is building on them except maybe 8 to 10 houses.
This area is like entering a national forest!
Very interesting – and we have been told – they paid a lot for these properties.
By the end of the year – our section should be completed and all sold out!

The tree is in line with the one in front which is a white Crepe Myrtle – we wanted color in the back.
The lanai – which is screened in – and we will be able to view the two trees from inside.
This tree line is protected and will stay there. Pine straw and flowers are what I plan for this area.
It is a work in progress – planting flowers – we love to plant flowers that return each season.
Much as I did at the old house in NVA!
In my mind I picture a bird bath here and a bird feeder. And on one of those big trees – one of those faces –
with eyes and nose and a smile!
Perhaps larger flowers that come back year to year.
We have this view from the lanai and the open patio and firepit.

As you can also see – we are in the middle of construction of new houses – we are the second to close –
but we have been through this twice before – and the values have already gone up!
This is our third build – in the last 22 years!
Moving South – first to the NVA area – outside of Washington DC – and buying and selling three times –
With twice building from ground up –
has led us here – in Ocean Isle Beach – Cameron Woods – and sitting on our front porch.
We have done major landscaping since this picture was taken – removing the pine straw and replacing it with the black mulch – putting in white – gray stones around the trees in the front yard and large rocks around the lanai.
We have just a few more ideas to formulate – changing a few things and we will be settled!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World –

Try as hard as we can – we can stay even – first nine we lost by one – we pared and they birdied –
they never get into trouble – if one does – the other is in the middle – just consistent –
they are almost always putting for par and when they are on with the putts –
they will beat you!
There are four courses in here and this one – TIGERS EYE is the second one we have golfed on.
This is called the bIG CATS courses – all named after the big cats of the world.
LIONS PAW – PANTHERS RUN – LEOPARDS CHASE and this one TIGERS EYE!
We have fun first – laugh a lot and plan our shots – but – hey – they are tough to beat!
They play the ladies tees as does Buck – I play the senior tees.
You just are careful – looking always for them and watch for snakes in deep grass or wooded area.

We have gone to Fat Harolds numerous times – we like the beach music – not knowing it was called this!
Back home in the early years of my life – this was just music played on the radio
and on TV when you watched those dance shows!
Had no idea about the SHAG or the way Southern Rock was danced down here.
Funny how you grow up listening to Alabama – Eagles and all the other music of our youth –
and since the ’40’s this was happening right here!
The history of the surf music for almost 80 years
pictures on the wall – the music groups that came through here – famous – only we did not know the why!

This is the new house – most of the outside is complete – and the inside is almost done.
The floors are all done as is the carpet and tile.
They move pretty fast when they all show up to complete what they have to do!
The text message came yesterday – we are still on schedule for a walk through on 6-22-21 –
which most likely will of happened by the time I post this blog.
We were able to pick what we wanted for the house – as long as there were options.
It is almost done and we are two weeks out to closing which by the time I post this – will of happened.

I love the rees!
All or most of the family has come down – Mike and Maddy have not made it here.
The little ones love to explore – play on the playground at Barefoot Landing.
Family is really important to us – and keeping the time to get here manageable!
In our new home it will be six hours for one family and almost seven hours for the other.
They can drive in one day and be here early enough to enjoy!
Family time – beach – exploring – warm weather – new home – new neighborhood.
Sarah wants to act – design – fashion – dance – no sports for her – although I secretly believe she would be awesome – still growing – Ella at 5′ 81/2 ” – I think she will be taller – and Taylor will be tallest of all – only 10 years old!

You see – there has been a delay and shortage in drywall – all over the country –
which has held up our completion by a month! Along with inspectors and inspections!
I was excited as this meant the drywall was being put in!
It has been a long four to five weeks with hardly any progress – but we prayed and it is now moving forward.
And two days later when we visited – the mud on the dry wall was completed – sanded – and we had CABINETS!
We are excited – they told us tile is going in – grading outside – doors to be hung.
Now there is a delay and shortage on PAINT!
Because of the ICE STORM in Texas and the Pandemic.

We are happy – moving forward -perhaps by the time this posts – we will have a move in date!
Our lot is backed by trees that will not be cleared – it is deemed protected wetlands.
We will have lots of roads to walk and new trails going in.
Almost all the purple area has been sold years ago – but no one has seemed to build on them –
maybe a half dozen really big homes!
We do not know why – investment?
You can buy lots there from individuals for a hefty price!
For now it remains paved roads – old growth shaded trees and street lights – utilities
and beautiful green areas and ponds.

So – the plan was made – golf nine – eat dinner and then go home!
We could of stayed with them – but – lugging all the stuff I need – my sleep machine etc. just easier to drive the hour plus drive back to the condo – besides – plenty of more times exist in the future!
We played our scramble format – Buck and me – they played best ball – WE LOST!
Now – we lost two holes to them – one by one stroke and one by two strokes!
We play even up – and we tied the other seven holes.
But – on the hole we lost by one stroke – we parred – they birdied!
On the one we lost by two strokes – they parred and we four putted – just the way it goes!
We have played this format for years and years – we at one time played couples vs couple – then we played mixed couple vs. mixed couple – but the gals challenged us – the other ways split pretty even – this way – THEY WIN!

Sherry is always drawn to the surf – walking in the water – still too cold for me! LOL
The only downside to this was the wind – it was strong – and would get into your eyes!
We only brought with us our water – and a lot of people walked past us – but only a few sitting on the sand.
The relaxing nature – the quiet – only birds – sounds of the waves.
It was a good hour to visit regardless of the wind!

I have wanted to stop in here and have lunch ever since we got here on 10-1-20!
It is a local place right on the beach in North Myrtle Beach!
These places always catch my eye – I just get a feeling about them!
They generally have good food and live music –
and this day – the food was great – a salad with grilled fish – and the music?
Well – right across the street is a block long and a block wide vacant lot –
And it was packed with tents – you could rent – and thousand of people!
A huge stage and three bands playing for six hours!
WE WERE RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE OPENING OF NORTH MYRTLE BEACH MUSIC FESTIVAL!
It is the first major event sanctioned by the town government since the start of the pandemic 14 months ago!
And people were out and about in golf carts – cars – trucks and just walking!
This was roped off and a charge to enter – you could rent out a canopy – and carry in drinks and food!
I would say – inside – a thousand people – or more – I guess this is the fourth one they have had like this over the years – and the radio station was there and it also was broadcasting from the beach which was just as crowded!
We tried to walk the beach – but it was really crowed and full of young people – all right next to each other!
This area is pretty much not locked down – and you could tell the tourist season has begun!
I am happy for the the store owners who have suffered so much – many shut the doors and will not return.
But – we decided this was way too crowed for us – so we returned to the music and walked toward our condo.

They stopped and picked us up – we had tickets to see Time Warp at the Carolina Opry Theater in Myrtle Beach
But first – we stopped at Barefoot Landing at the new Brewery Crooked Hammock.
Sherry had decided to make a switch to beer – as that is what we mostly drink.
She wanted to try it and just see if she would like it! ( SHE DID)!
She and Cindy ordered a flight of four different brews and tasted each one!
She found two she could drink!
Now – when together – she can drink some brews! LOL
Yes – that Greg Norman – the Aussie great golfer!
It was a first for us and we had walked past it numerous times.
My lettuce wedge with salmon was excellent and they all said theirs was good as well!
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!!!!
Will go back!
And it was fantastic!
We knew every non stop song for over one hour – and then intermission!
And then for one hour more – non stop!
It said the show was sold out but it was less than half full.
Very professional – wearing masks to our seats – and no one within I would say almost ten feet!
It felt good to once again enjoy music and just relax to a very good broad way style revue!
So many talented people who all can sing – dance – play instruments and perform at a high level!

It was a warm morning – 73 degrees – and Sherry had said she wanted to walk early!
It is one half mile to the gated entrance on Hillside drive.
We walk this almost every day – and then turn left and walk up two blocks to 8th. street.
Turn right and walk one block to Ocean Blvd. – cross the street –
and walk into the parking lot – we like this lot – it has a bathroom – and a shower to wash the sand off!
It also has a boardwalk from the parking lot – to a deck and then steps right onto the beach!
In . 66 of a mile – we are standing on the beach!
Early morning sunrise – ten minute walk from our condo.
We will miss this but in thirty minutes from our new home – we can be back here!

She said to me after about a hour – you can not lean back in this chair and take a nap!
And she was right – while we had different chairs – you couldn’t in mine either!
Music to the left and music to the right – I just turned it off!
Depending on the wind – I could hear one or the other and with no wind – Both!
We decided to stay for two hours and then we added another hour,
Since we had eaten almost everything we had brought with us –
We decided that was enough and went back to the car –
Yes – instead of walking down – we drove only because we had our chairs-
speaker – drinks – little table and the food and towels!

They adore Sherry – whom they call MorMor – Swede for Mothers Mother!
When we walk with all three – it usually is Taylor who loses out to the other two in holding her hands.
This time it was Cassidy – who with each passing day – is becoming more and more independent.
They are twins – but had to come early as Taylor was taking all the nutrients.
Taylor is going to be really tall – close to six foot while Cassidy will be like her mother 5’6″.
Taylor loves to ride horses – Cassidy has a variety of interests –
but will sit for hours drawing off her computer and is really good!
We moved south to find more time to golf – warmer weather and being close to our friends!
They moved about 25 or 26 years to the Wilmington N.C. area – and we would spend time with them once or twice a year.
Then we moved to NVA and they would do the same.
Now – we are building a new home about 40 miles away from them –
and if the weather is nice – we golf once a week with them –
always on a new course – could be on the weekend or a week day.
They can and do stay with us and we do the same with them.
If our new home is not done on time and we have to give up the condo – they have offered us a place to stay.
FRIENDS! GOOD TIMES! LAUGHS!
We both have a love to golf – one of Sherry’s highlights in golfing came with the day she broke 50 –
and it was a day she was golfing with her father!
A memory she shall always carry with her on the course. Now – she beats me! LOL
I see it each morning also – but I always am up before the dawn – have been that way all my life.
My favorite time of the day – writing my blog – sipping my coffee and watching the sun rise –
listening to the sounds of nature and just enjoying morning time.
A memory we shall carry forward into the new home.
You can hear the pounding surf a half mile away –
We walk there almost every day –
the water fowl – geese – ducks – mallards – swans – otter – turtles – snakes
and really huge fish we can see when we look down onto the water.
Storms blowing in and out – rain and wind – nature at its best.
But – they were way too expensive – and the condos here – not enough space and no garage.
We have a storage unit – not a lot – but enough so that it would not fit.
The town houses here besides the condo’s – were out of our price range –
plus the one we looked at – needed a lot of work.
This is a beautiful area – one I shall remember –
We were blessed to have spent time here – but it also was expensive!

On our way back home to NVA – we stopped in Lynchburg to watch Maddy –
Our oldest granddaughter – play soccer!
She starts as a Sophomore – and plays for the University of Lynchburg.
One thing she wanted to do – to get out in the fresh air and hike with her family!
Which we did on this paved trail that runs along the river in Lynchburg Va.
One of our very first visitors after we moved to Ocean Keyes in North Myrtle Beach –
was the father and mother of our son in law – Marcus.
They came down and spent four days with us – playing cards – walking the beach –
and introducing us to a new game called RUMMIKUBE!
We have always gotten along with them and every Sunday – sat beside them in the pew!
Debby and the two granddaughters came for a short visit –
and we took them hiking – which they love to do – at Vareens memorial Garden.
Walking along the ICW and over the marsh.
They will be back as we took them also to the new house build!
Mike and Carol – we lived next door to them – invited us and our friends – we have all been friends for years-
to their lake house in WNY -Lake Chatauqua – for a long weekend of riding the lake in their beautiful boat!
They have extended another invitation for this August – the same group – for four days!
They own a business that sends crews to do commercial painting all over the East Coast
and this year are expanding to the mid west.
Mike – started this when he was very young — and what a company he has turned it into!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World!
On the lake in Mike and Carols boat!
All eight of us fit very comfortable – we spent three days cruising the lake for hours at a time!
All eight of us have been friends for years and years!

Memories of the past 16 months continues in the next blog! Join – it is all free!
In this picture – my friends of the last 36 years for Buck and 40 plus hears for Jimmy!
Jimmy and I worked together and played softball together in the mid to late ’70’s!
In the back ground across the pond on this hole in Magnolia Greens –
sits Buck and Cindy’s new home they built a couple years ago!
I really like this area and would of moved here if we could of found something
like this and in our price range.
Friends and golfing buddies – MEMORIES!
Dottie – Jimmy’s wife and Cindy – Bucks wife – all these years still getting together!
We all moved away from our home town areas.
Yet – at least twice a year we manage to get together –
here we are at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach!
Speak no evil – see on evil and hear no evil!
In the last 16 months – sometimes we struggled to balance social distancing –
and that was very true with family.
Sitting in our garage while the three little ones sat on a tarp in the lawn at the end of the driveway.
Or visiting them standing outside and little Bode hiding behind his parents peaking out at us!
That broke my heart.
But – we have come a long ways on this – we did stay with family after we sold our house
at the end of June last year!
Family is important and we have been tested twice and so have they!
PAPA – can I sit on your lap!
This is at 5:45 am. – while I am writing my blog!
He knows I wake up early and down he comes- when we are not here – he sleeps in!
Last week he asked me on a kids message –
he had called me – “PAPA – WHEN WILL WE SEE YOU AGAIN”?
I tear up when he talks to me like that!
Here we are having lunch after they drove 6 hours – at Crooked Hammock at Barefoot Landing!
They spent all weekend and until Friday of the following week with us!
This made us very happy as they got to see where we are and where we are building our house.
They now know it is but a six hour drive for them to visit!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World-
My blog on memories will continue with my next blog.

I knew both before I met Sherry – Freddie and I went to 7th. grade thru 12th. grade.
We met at a place that was half way to where they live in Florida and to where we were staying!
Great time with old friends. MEMORIES!
We traveled before the Pandemic – meeting friends along the way.
And – – we were careful – as were some more friends we met.
