Marcus and Tammy made a surprise visit with the little ones for a four-day stay!
This is the start of the 1.4-mile walk to the Kindred Spirit mailbox –
No more homes – dunes with nature walks among them.

One is the oldest granddaughter while the second is the youngest granddaughter with her twin sister.
One is in her third year at University of Lynchburg – Enviromental Engineering major.
One is in the fifth grade – so caring she calls or zooms her grandmother almost every day.
One starts at the attack front position for the ranked lady soccer hornets soccer team.
And had played in 13 games as a freshmen – started her Sophomore year and again as a junior.
One moved to sit beside her older cousin at the soccer game.
Both are dear to our hearts!
Granddaughters – oldest to youngest – youngest admires the oldest – both exceptional to us –

We rented a AIRBNB so that we could all be together after months and months of seperation.
Along with meeting up to cheer on Maddy and Ella meeting for the first time on the pitch for a soccer game –
we also were having a celebration of a birthday for Debby.
A party was planned – dinner – and cake – masks – just a family coming together.
We strolled historic Lynchburg – and ended up at Bootleggers to have a special dinner.
Turning 50 is a milestone in life – and for Deb – she was mistaken by one of our neighbors
as being close in age to their 28 year old daughter!
She is a mother to three beautiful daughters and has a great husband Mike.
She is a CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH and QUALIFIED NATIONAL MARKETING DIRECTOR
for The Juice Plus Company.
A college graduate – a teacher in Health and Nutrition.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY – FAMILY MEETS OUR FRIENDS
A tribute to Debby – as this is who she is – a gift to our family!
He has always adored Ella – but lately he has become close to Maddy – whenever he sees her – he sits with her.
He seems to have taken soccer to heart and may be our next soccer player.
He wears a sweatshirt to Ella’s soccer games with MYERS on the back – it was hers when she was his age!
He sits by himself and cheers for her when she is on the field – “ELLA – ELLA” !!!!
All three he adores – he wants to see them all the time and will ask if they are HOME from college.
It is neat to see him bonding with Sarah now – she has always been close to the twins.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY – FAMILY MEETS OUR FRIENDS!
We all gathered at this AIRBNB for a family time together
as both older grand daughters attend college in Lynchburg Va.
A game of UNO – laughing – this AIRBNB is a 100 year old home –
that has been completly restored.
This had been the first time as a family we were altogther –
Both family’s are back in NVA where we moved from.
Daughter Tammy is the mother to the three little ones is what I call them!
The other three I call the three older ones! LOL
Soon – she will turn 21 – where oh where has the time gone?
I remember her little hands and fingers – locking her arms around my neck.
Picking her up from the babysitter and singing Ole McDonald Had A Farm!
Her first song she hummed to was Christopher Cross “SAILING”!
Now – she is a Junior at University of Lynchburg lady soccer team Hornets!
Starting at left front attacker – moving to right front in 2nd half and listed as midfielder in the program.
Ranked at number 22 in the top 25 in the nation in Division three soccer national polls.
We all came together to watch both Maddy and Ella play one another ( first time ever)
Ella held her own – as a freshmen –
playing almost all minutes in the entire games this season.
She lost 2 – 0 to Lynchburg –
who scored late into the second half –
the bench was the difference.
We had twelve of us – both families and all six grand kids in a air bnb –
just a few minutes from each of their dorm rooms and campus.
We stayed four nights – watched two soccer games – had dinner both in and out –
and celebrated Maddy’s mother birthday.
While she is extremely busy – she carries a almost 4.0 in Enviomental Engineering –
She spent time with us on three different occasions.
With classes and soccer practice – that time was hard to accomplish.
As you can see the boys are outnumbered by the girls –
We have eight ladies and four men.
All in all – MADDY got to spend precious time with us.
And we got to tour her new dorm house – three bedrooms – two bath and kitchen on campus.
Five ladies share it.

She is now a Junior at the Unversiy of Lynchburg in Va. Starting the last two years – and only one loss this season – currently sole possession of first place in their conference.
This young lady not only starts and plays most of the entire games – but is a ALL ACADEMIC –
Into hiking – sunrises – and her major is Enviromental Engineering.
Will soon turn eight and already golfs with his dad – is all boy – bikes – running –
always looks at trucks – barefooted while outside – cold weather and all.
Loves and adores his older cousin Ella who as a Freshmen at Randolph College –
starts at midfield and plays most of the whole games.
I believe Bode will be the same!
This drainage ditch is at the end of the cul de sac –
and allows the runoff to make its way to a very large second pond in the development.
We have seen a gator in each pond!
And we found some unknown tracks in this ditch going back and forth.
I told Sherry not to get too close to the high grass as we also have snakes around here.
Just down the street – two houses – two pictures were taken in the road –
A small gator was on its way to a third pond up the road and a large copperhead was also there.
Not at the same time – but N.C, has them both where we live.
I have also seen a very large black snake – which are good as they kill the copperheads!
All part of living in the South near the marsh and beaches!
At least three times a week – she either calls her MorMor or zooms!
Sherry is MorMor – Swedish for Mothers- Mother!
She is very close to her and is the one who does not want us to leave
or asks when we are coming again.
She is sweet – but also very determined and head strong.
Marley is the new puppy – a GoldenDoodle –
who judging by her legs and feet – is going to be very large!
She is loving – likes to run and pull her leash – Taylor – Cassidy’s sister –
is the one who handles her the best.
She nips and chases both Bode and Cassidy!
low 70’s at night – beautiful weather – slight warm breezes – why we moved here!
Front porch sitting early morning with my coffee on this glider!
Protected from the sun and rain when it blows the other way.
I told Sherry – we had to have a front porch and this is one of the models
along with a office room – that was available!
The office was her wish list!

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.

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!
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.
Bobby and I go back to grade school – friends for life.
Sports – a few drinks – camping out – running the streets – never anything destructive – just boy hood memories.
By the time this blog posts – Pam and Bob will stop in on there way back to New England.
They have a drive RV towing a car.
We are all safe – testing and vaccinations.( except Sherry who is allergic to the vaccine)
It will be good to once again relive memories – Freddie – Bobbie and I had growing up!
Fourteen years we attended services there.
John and Nancy moved to Charleston about a year before we moved.
On our way back from Florida – just before the Pandemic – we stopped in and stayed – regaling in memories.
They gave us a walking tour of Charleston’s waterfront and historic district.
A few months after we moved to Myrtle Beach area – we met halfway in Georgetown S.C.
And – about a month or so ago – they visited us at the condo.
Friends – MEMORIES!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
I will continue MEMORIES of the PAST SIXTEEN MONTHS in the following blog.

Once it was in the mid to high ’70’s and full sun –
Into the water they went!
Notice how protective Cassidy is of her little brother!
They fight and argue – but no one touches him according to her!
These two should have been the twins
they act and sound just alike.
She is so kind – loving and thoughtful.
She on the other hand loves her alone time away from the other two! LOL!
She rides horses – and whenever around her MorMor – holds her hand.
She is the serious – studious one who quotes facts!
“AS AMATTER OF FACT” she says and then goes on to tell you!
It was a very warm day in the sun – water to me was very cold – but they loved it!
They played and played in the water – coming out to run up and tell us something and then back they went!
Yes – the sun was warm – the sand was also – yet the water was cold – but to them – it was their day at the beach!

One of the things they wanted to do was see alligators!
And here in North Myrtle Beach is a place called ALLIGATOR ADVENTURE!
There are hundreds of the reptiles in there!
The biggest being 20 feet long and weighing 2000 lbs. !
They got to watch the feeding – I wonder how they feed all these alligators and how they make sure all get fed!
They have other animals – birds and snakes!

The Krohn family and Sherry – granddaughters – daughter and son in law.
They have visited for almost a week.
The weather – bearable – low 60’s to low 70’s but with chilly wind.
He has pretty good form and Marcus is getting him lessons.
He is only six years old and I think the highlight for him is driving the golf cart! LOL
I told Marcus – you need to get him lessons plus doing cross country
He almost ran the whole golf course!
They walked to the beach every day.
Most days I would drive the car down as we had all the chairs and beach stuff!
Some days – as in this picture – we all walked carrying the “STUFF”!
Yesterday was a full beach day – warm – sun – and kids in the water!
Too cold for me – but in the sun – hot!
Taylor – Cassidy and Bode – notice how Cassidy takes care of Bode!
Such a protective little girl – a heart of warmth!

One of the first things Sherry did for the little ones after they had a good nights sleep-
Was to color Easter Eggs!
So – she hard boiled the eggs – set up on the Lanai – and they got to it!
This has been a tradition with MorMor – as they call her -Swede for Mothers Mother!
She has done this even before Bode – who is six was born!
Afterward – things were washed up and packed for Tammy to take back to NVA!
I think Cassidy and Bode should of been the twins!
They are so much alike and act the same.
It is hard for me to tell the difference if I am not looking at them – to see who is talking!
Now – Bode is going to be tall like Taylor – who is so laid back!
She likes her “TAYLOR” time!
She also is going to be the tallest of the granddaughters
With Maddy being 5′ 6″ – Ella 5′ 8 1/2 ” and Sarah pushing Ella at 14 years old!
We had taken them there before and the little ones love the playground!
Then it was time for a late lunch – our reservations were ready!
