Papa’s World – Family in my blogs – a journal – memories!

When little – Cassidy and Taylor – my reason for such a blog is to capture family history.

Also – it is my belief that putting down memories – keeps my mind active –

It is an exercise I use to help myself in memory games!

I share friends – family and experiences of times past –

writing as much as I can remember – here is Cindy and Sherry at our home in Brambleton –

we – as a group of long-time friends – every 3 to 5 months – visit one another –

And music plays a part – here singing –

Good times remembered!

Moving to N.C. has allowed us the pleasure of playing golf –

our close friends live 40 minutes away and we often meet up at a preselected golf course-

Enjoying 18 holes and then either out for dinner or back at one or other house!

Living in NVA – it was too expensive for us – here we purchased a FIRST TEE CARD –

This allows us to play over 50 courses at reduced rates!

Part of our life today is the SENIOR CENTER –

where we go twice a week for what is called GERIFIT EXERCISE!

40 to 50 SENIORS – forty-five minutes of continuous exercise –

crafted for SENIOR PEOPLE – men and women –

And – it is FREE!

Our son-in-law Mike – makes crafts for us – here is a fish he made and gave to us for the wall!

Here is a SURFBOARD towel holder he made!

And his latest gift – another fish – we have them all mounted on the walls!

SHERRY AT SUNRISE ON SUNSET BEACH AYT EASTER!

FAMILY IN MY BLOGS – A JOURNAL – MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – Ocean Isle Beach – Oyster Festival

Our first time here – we went on Saturday – hundreds of vendors – arts – crafts – homemade goods!

Also – food trucks – Oyster tents – beer tents – all types of food and drink and lots of people!

$5.00 per person to get in – live bands and music for two days on the main stage.

Our view of the stage and one of the live bands.

We had our own chairs and we paid for drinks.

There were many cool items for sale – many made by the vendors themselves.

There were shuttle buses but we paid $10.00 to park all day by the pier.

One-half bucket of Oysters was $25.00 and a full bucket was $40.00 – plus they had eating contests in the tent!

I do not eat raw Oysters but I like them baked or roasted.

We had a great first time going to the Oyster Festival.

Thanks for reading and as always HGD!

Papa’s World – Christmas presents from our son-in-law!

Our son-in-law Mike with Debby and their daughters – Maddy (L) and Ella ( R ) and Sarah ( RR) – make fantastic items from

scratch!

A lamp made from driftwood with birch bark shade! Everything is hand-crafted and we have put this in our Lanai as a night light!

We both love these types of presents and this was a Christmas present.

All the older granddaughters have made our items for presents and those are cherished!

We are a close-knit family – and have visited back and forth. They are about 8 hours away!

We just love this as it goes with our beach theme and how we live close to several beaches. I think he could make and sell these down here!

He makes so many things and is very talented! He has his own workshop.

Papa’s World – Arts – Crafts and Grandkids -oh my!

Cassidy – our little artist.

We had lists of things to see and do while they were here for twelve days!

The downtime was also on those lists and arts and crafts for each of them.

Keeping three kids on the go – with rest times.

Bode and the crafts he made – along with his stuffed shark.

While he did the crafts by himself – we had to read a lot of the instructions to him so he would understand them. He will be in second grade in the fall.

He did very well and made the contraption to pick up items from the floor.

Taylor with her crafts – the picture frames they all picked out the colors.

She would much more like to ride a horse but she was game and made the things you see here

even stitching the leather notepad holder.

She is our reader – books and books – always reading.

This is Cassidy’s element – she loves her arts and crafts!

She is so talented – making things – she made the cards – painted the switch plate covers –

painted rocks and copied the American flag that President Bush painted – exactly like he did.

Cassidy’s drawing with a pencil.

Cassidy’s other little girl drawing.

The list was long – but downtime was important and it showed in the arts and crafts.
