We traveled back to NVA to have Thanksgiving with the Myers family – as we will not see them for Christmas.
We stopped and saw the Krohn family on our way north and spent a night and day with them as they will come down after Christmas for a few days and be with us.
Our three oldest granddaughters – Sarah – Maddy and Ella in the sunroom – working on some crafts and laughing!
Debby – Mike and Sherry getting the dinner ready. It was the best-tasting turkey I have had in a long time and the stuffing was even better!
The three granddaughters set the table – the Tower Garden in the background – growing year around indoors!
Chef Mike prepared the turkey and then cut it up! I do not know what he stuffed it with – but it was really juicy!
Ella – home from Randolph College – Sarah – A Sophomore in H.S. and Maddy – A Senior at The University of Lynchburg.
Debby lighting candles at the table for Thanksgiving dinner. Time for giving family thanks.

PAPA’S WORLD – THANKSGIVING WITH FAMILY AT LAKE HOLIDAY, VA. THE MYERS FAMILY!
Even though we are surrounded by construction on new builds – my view each morning begins sometimes with the sun peaking through the clouds – the Ocean is but 3 miles away in that direction.
Welcome to Papa’s World and another day in my life.
This day we would later meet up with friends – for we had tickets at the Albama Theater in Barefoot landing –
To see the MOTOWN review straight from Broadway.
But first – I sit on my front porch every early morning – waiting for the sun to peak over the tree line.
The early morning is my favorite part of the day – has been my entire life.
When I was growing up and my brother left for college – I moved into his bedroom at the front of the house –
which faced East – every morning I would be awake listening to the birds chirping and then the sun coming through the two front windows of that bedroom.
In all my years since then – I have never lost that feeling of the dawning of a new day!
Sunrise at the new house in Cameron Woods – Ocean Ridge – Ocean Isle Beach – N.C.
But we had a show to see and first a meet up at LULU’S In Barefoot Landing with friends!
We have known them for over 35 years being neighbors before they moved to the Willmiington N.C. area.
Buck and Cindy – who now live about 40 minutes away in Magnolia Greens just outside of Leland.
We try to get together once a week to either golf or go to dinner or to a theater.
Sometimes we or they get busy and then it is several weeks before we golf!
We plan major trips every couple years – the last one was North California and Reno –
which we took ten days and traveled some 1400 miles covering the entire portion of the state near Sacremento.
We have been to Oahu – Spain – Gilbraltor and Morroco –
We have covered Mass. and Maine –
We did the wine country in Canada and Niagra falls –
a golfing vacation back home in NWPA and WNY!
We are in discussions now of a trip next year but have to wait and see how the year proceeds with Covid.
Sherry and Papa – Cindy and Buck – laughter is never not a option.

A bright sun rise to a eventful full day of walking – getting ready – visiting the storage unit – and finally – teeing off!Buck on the first tee at 4:40 pm. We were golfing late – Cindy had a lot of stuff to do at work!
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!
Sherry getting ready to tee off on the second hole!
We played our scramble format – Buck and me – they played best ball – WE LOST!
Cindy teeing off – Sherry spotting the ball!
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!
Cindy – birdie putt – made it – we parred – they are so good!
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!
My buddy – my partner – golfing together – we did beat them a few weeks ago – but we had to shoot a 39 to beat them!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – my drive – second shot coming up – we four putted – double bogie – LOST!Sherry teeing off – right down the middle – both are that way!
WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY FAMILY MEETS FRIENDS PAPA’S WORLD living life to the fullest
Cindy and Sherry WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER – guys vs gals – the best is yet to come!
