It was a very long time in coming – we moved South in 1999 and left behind the boys.
They had their own lives and jobs –
We have been planning this for months and months –
and after driving some 15 hours –
they were here.
We had so much fun showing the SALT LIFE – sunrises and sunsets.
Memories of the past 40-plus years were talked about and laughed at!

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”!

They have lived in a lake community for sixteen years and recently one of the boat slips
became available and their name came up to have it!
For years and years, they have wanted to have a boat but would have to tow it
down to the marina to launch.
So – they decided to go ahead and buy this boat and surprise the kids!
With the two older girls in college playing soccer and one as a freshman in H.S.
It was time to take the leap – summer is going to be so fun!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – BOAT – BOAT – you got a Boat! We are coming home!
The twins – came early – the doctor said it was a time a little past 32 weeks!
Taylor was the bigger – she was taking all the nutrients –
both were three pounds – Taylor 13 ozs. more!
So tiny – but healthy – and that was the birthday of their mother that they were born on!
Not planned – but by the doctor’s orders.
Bode came along four years later – today they are 11 and 7 years old!
Bode was the first boy out of six grandchildren – the girls MADDY ELLA SARAH TAYLOR CASSIDY.
Of course, the older ones all adore him and he adores them – esp. ELLA – whom he follows everywhere.

WELCOME TO PAPA’S WORLD THANK YOU !
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
It was not easy to decide to sell our home – almost everything in it –
and move to another state – some 450 miles away!
It all started with the stock market slide – around the time the Pandemic hit!
Our retirement is in the 401 K and it took a big hit!
But – there is always a but!
The housing market was taking off!
From the last reduction in prices around 2006 –
and losing in that market –
We were now almost even – a rebound!
And it was going up!
With the three oldest grand kids
One in college – one in the fall in college and one who has a life of her own
And the three little ones – we would make it a point to return often –
after all – we were retired – and Sherry had her home based business –
that could go anywhere with phone and internet service
We would sell!
AND WE DID!
After 14 1/2 years – with the downturn behind us in the housing market
WE MADE A PROFIT and had all of our equity!
We followed our plan – sold our house and furniture –
for three months we went back and forth between our daughters houses!
We had our equity to either rent – or buy – we had choices!
Our view today – we left end of September and went to North Myrtle Beach to Ocean Keyes!
Since that time – we have been home twice – holidays for three weeks – and now for a week!
The grand kids have been down – the little ones – and by the time you read this –
the older ones will have been here!
Our family – when we returned for a visit.
We have started a new life – away but close enough to make it home in seven hours.
We are happy in our senior years – living life to the plus each day!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY
A new life – walking the beach every day –
We have each other – we have family and we have friends.
It was not easy – but God works in ways I can not explain.
It will be done around the early part of June!
We had no idea a year ago we would be doing this!

When you are growing up – at least in my case – you look up to someone.
That person to me was my older brother – by ten years.
My sister was 15 years older – and I really do not remember –
much of her being home – although she took care of me
those first three years of my life along with my grandma
as both my parents were working.
I was sort of the second coming of the family –
and then almost four years later – my younger brother Mike.
But the thing I remember is my older brother Roger.
He was “COOL” as they said back then –
and quite the ladies man – his nickname I later found out –
across the upper portion of his H.S. varsity jacket –
was ” Anyface” !
I was told many a story about him from his friends
and I would hang out on the fringes – when they were all around.
He had a club in our basement – in the backroom –
and he had drawn pictures of Disney cartoons on the wall
and painted them – Chip and Dale – Mickey Mouse – Donald Duck.
And they were really lifelike.
I do not know why and I think they are still there.
He would put boxing gloves on me –
and I would wail away at him or his friends
they – the gloves – were bigger than me
back then I was skinny – so much so –
my Mom would not let me take my shirt off
as she said people would think she was starving me!
Somewhere – he is looking down – that smile on his face-
When he went away to college – I moved into his front of the house room.
This was Rogers room I would think – and I was excited
for he was MY HERO!
I would ask Mom – did you get a letter? Is he going to call?
Will he be coming home?
I could not wait to see him.
And that continued even after I grew up and moved on.
I would always ask those questions of her.
When he did come back home – it was a occasion.
A celebration – dinners – laughing and story telling.
And then – the last twelve years of his life –
once again we became close – very close.
We talked at least once a week and we would go and see him.
Once he came here – and a couple times back home in Eldred Pa.
When my mom and sister were still alive.
He was my Hero in early life and continued to the day he passed.
I regret that we could not spend more time together
he wanted us to move to Florida and live with him.
But – life gets in the way.
I feel good because the last four years of his life
we spent 9 weeks each Winter with him
In The Villages – Florida – doing some golf -sipping some brews –
laughing and remembering –
those were the best of times I shall always cherish
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
My brother was my hero growing up
and to the day he was gone – still was
and today I think of him often
Hero’s are rare – once in a lifetime
I was fortunate to have had him.
Thank you Roger for all the good times.

John was a decorated WWII hero – with the purple heart and numerous other medals.
He captured a castle and a Nazi officer out of uniform – there is a story in a military journal
that is in the WWII museum in Eldred Pa.that chronicles that event.
He took from that officer a automatic machine gun pistol – vintage WWI – that also resides in the museum
and is worth upwards in the thousands of dollars. They keep it locked away as it is so valuable.
He was wounded several times and went back into action.
Bill was a vet of the forgotten war – Korea – he seldom talked about it but while I was growing up –
he gave to me his sleeping bag that he used in the cold winters there.
I admire his stamina as all it was is a wool blanket inside a canvas liner!
I would get very cold while sleeping outside on the ground in it!
He was more to me than a brother in law – he was my friend and like a brother to me.
One time I was out with him on patrol in the cop car – he was the town cop –
We drove down across the tracks and out past the old pipe building –
he saw a woodchuck and said to me –
“Do I get him”?
“Sure I said”!
He pulled out his gun and from the front seat shot that old woodchuck –
I almost went deaf from that gun going off!
I said ” JESUS CHRIST BILL” and then we both just burst out laughing!
Lesson – never fire a gun from inside a car – you can barely hear for like 10 minutes!
Mom was known all over the town and county and into NYS for her baking.
She would bake rolls – bread – pies and cakes. Sweet rolls and sticky buns.
There was not anything she could not knead and bake and all from memory!
She did not need a receipt – she just did it after almost 85 years of her life baking!
She baked as a child learning from her mother who passed at 85 years old.
Mom was next to the youngest of 11 kids and was almost 98 years old when she passed.
She supplied pies and cakes and rolls for a diner in town.
Or she would say ” You are as useless as teats on a boar hog”! She had me in stitches –
she also played the accordion my father the spoons and sang and my uncle jack the wash board.
They would do this at family picnics and if the beer was free – at social events.
When she was young – she traveled with my grandma in the logging camps of Pa.
Making breakfast – lunch and dinner as a way to make money in the depression.
They were together until he passed away at age 81.
She called him “JOHNNY BOY” and he was so good to her – just what she needed after ten years losing my dad.
He could fix anything and construction was his forte.
His cars and trucks immaculate even though they were ten years old – showroom condition.
He fixed up and remodled the house which she had kept going all those years .
That same house today is still in the family after almost 78 years –
my great niece lives there today.

They now live just outside of Leesburg Va. about 30 minutes from where we used to live.
Whenever we do go home – we have a bedroom and bath in the basement – along with a suite of other rooms.
There is a walk out to the fenced in back yard.
Out there is a fire pit – huge patio and a pergola – multiple chairs and some rockers and a outdoor table and chairs we left behind.
A Boce court that was there when they bought the house – really beautiful setting!
Now – there is a new addition – MARLEY – the goldendoodle – Tammy’s dog – that she wanted – a big dog to walk!

We decided to walk early – before it gets too hot!
So – we started out and went to the 10th. avenue beach entrance –
the one where they held EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE on the beach which we attended and I wrote a blog about!
Upon walking the walkway to the deck and stairs – we found a new addition!
It was a MAIL BOX with “FELLOW TRAVELER” painted on top!
Inside was a note book – journal – and already half full with notes from FELLOW TRAVELERS!
There also is one at the end of Sunset beach that was in the news –
I had read about it and how it had been there for 40 years!
And the journals are in a historical museum to be preserved!
Many interesting reads and dates – so she added her own!
I think this is a wonderful idea.
We continued our walk onto the beach – with fantastic calming skies!

But – this is the beginning of the week for Spring Breakers –
and we noticed traffic getting heavey.
We have found our way around and avoid the high traffic on rte. 17!
We take the side streets as far as we can – and one side street takes up to where we can shop!
Being here is still our dream – we will come back often as we like it here –
but also where we are moving too – no traffic – country quiet – we can walk –
and still be in access to the other two beaches!

We had journeyed to Cameron Woods – to see how the construction on the house was coming along!
No one works on Sunday – so we could park and walk around!
Then – after we left – I said – ” How about we drive down into the waterfront at Little River”?
When we first came down here – we had driven down into the area and saw all these neat local places to eat!
First impressions are – you want to go with someone else – there is a biker bar there.
But – after walking around – I can now see it is okay!
We followed some signs that led us to a place called PATIO’S!
Off the beaten path but we walked to it!
And – then we were greeted by BERNIE!
As in THE MOVIE WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S!
I had my first draft beer in three weeks!
I really do not drink all that much – seldom the hard stuff – mostly drink water!
But – for some reason sitting on the ICW – listening to a good lady singer –
singing from requests all the music I love – EAGLES – when low and behold – one perched just outside the deck!
I on the other hand did not eat – but rather had my second draft of a light IPA
Called a BLOND ZOMBIE!
Normally I do not drink IPA’s as I feel they are too heavy – but I liked this one –
enough so I had a second one!
12 oz drafts are just enough for me!

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!

They all came this time – for almost a week’s stay –
Tammy and the little ones had come down for a long weekend
Now – it was Marcus time to see where we would be living!
Here we are on the ICW at Barefoot Landing!
We had met them here instead of the condo – for we knew the little ones would be hungry –
they had left NVA at 5:09 AM. and we were standing in the Parking lot at a little before noon –
Less that seven hours!
And we told them – it would be 45 minutes fewer that that at the new house!
Our goal was to keep the time traveled to less than seven hours
and for both sets of family’s it will be that!
The above picture is for both family’s as they love the tradition at Christmas time!
We planned to have a late lunch and early dinner at the new brewery
CROOKED HAMMOCK BREWERY – that had opened up a couple weeks earlier
outdoors – and they -Marcus and Tammy loved the draft beer!
Family is and has been important to us – both daughters followed us to NVA.
One was married with a small child ( Maddy)
And one met her future husband in NVA.
Walking to the beach – these two will one day be so tall – here she is 10 years old and he is 6 years old.
Sherry – a Swede – is 5′ 9″ tall!

Stay tuned for more in the next blog!
We called her “TINY” as she was growing up –
Her father came up with that nickname –
Today she stands 5′ 8 1/2 ” –
Our little girl is all grown up!
She endured two injuries during her Middle school and H.S.
Both were broken bones in her feet.
One she was stepped on with a cleat
and the other she just landed wrong on it.
She lost two seasons of playing soccer
but when she did – was recruited by two different colleges.
Due to the Pandemic – her H.S. soccer season was moved from the fall to the spring.
She is about to begin playing –
Her travel soccer was played although the number of games reduced.
She competed and will move onto the next level in the Fall.

They moved about six months before we did
and we visited them a year ago on our return trip from Florida.
A couple months ago – we had met half way for lunch
in Georgetown S.C.
This time – we played cards – put a puzzle together – played Rummikub
and took a walk on the beach!
It was a delighful day and night and following day

find a shell – write on it and then hang it from a tree!

For the last four weeks – there was a on going struggle between the owners of the business’s
and the city council and the mayor of North Myrtle Beach!
A year ago the Covid 19 hit and everything went into lock down
The annual parade was canceled and places were deserted.
Many did not survive 12 months later!
A lot of store fronts are vacant!
The business were told they would be fined if they proceeded –
I do not know the inside story only what I read .
The parade was canceled even though hundreds of people showed up
with no masks and no social distancing.
Instead there would be a steady stream of golf carts
all decked out – business with bars – blocked off with yellow tape and orange cones.
The celebration would go on after one year!
We went to main street with our masks and stayed away – 6 feet from people.
Sometimes that was impossible.
We watched and took it all in – it was a happy feeling – even though we were aware of our surroundings.
This main intersection would normally be crowded –
I really do not know just how they are staying in business!
Maybe – with Spring Break coming up – they will have customers.
A lot of people are condemning the celebration – but I do not!
We stayed away from the bars where most people were –
we found a place to sit and observe.
I hope that this was all worth it!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World

We had watch them jacking the house up on steel I beams –
cribbing and disconnecting all the electric and plumbing!
A second floor deck had been disconnected and a pool – in ground left there with a cement patio!
A long walkway to the beach with a sitting area at the end.
Two flags on a flag pole still waved in the breeze.
We wondered where it would go and how much this would cost?
The – a block away – lot was cleared – leveled and electric pole put in.
That was when we thought – is it possible it was being moved here?
And then one day last week – the electric went out and back on shortly after –
They – the movers had begun the move at 9:04 AM.
Traffic was blocked off – a lot of police cars and county officials and the moving company
and all of its equipment.
The electric had gone off and back on for them to disconnect the power lines and splice in once again.
The two story house was on the move!
A lot of people watching – HOW ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE THE TURN?
The house was moved – still left on the huge trailers with wheels.
I am thinking they will start soon to put a foundation under it!
I have no idea how much this cost – but the beachfront lot is worth a million or more.
A house at the end of the rainbow! LOL!

They love the sand – the surf and the sound of the water and waves –
LETS WALK TO THE BEACH said Sherry!
So we did – the half mile walk through the neighborhood
To the gate entrance and then cross Hillside drive
Walk another block and cross Ocean Blvd. to the parking lot!
Growing up – we would take Debby and her sister Tammy to the beach
Whenever we could for vacation.
Now – whenever they can – they take their families to the Ocean.
Early on – we taught them to respect the environment
To not litter and see the wonders of what is around them.

Douglas will stop overnight – on his journey back North from Florida.
Doug is first cousin to Sherry – both his grandmother and Sherry’s grandmother were sisters
and both from Sweden first generation.
Doug is two years older and can speak fluent in Swedish.
He was a educator all his life – Principal – Superintendent and author.
With over 7000 followers on his twitter blog site.
This is the first time in I believe four years since we last saw him.
And – have invited him to stop in on his next journey through the area.
I love history – and family history is my observations I like to listen to.
I would sit for hours and talk to her mother about her and her family and childhood.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – another page in our book of life.
I write for those who live and for those who come in the future.
A journal of family – friends and times with pictures.
I have always regretted that I have no history of my own family
other than what I remember and everyone who could tell me is gone.

HEALTH and NUTRITION AGING HEALTHY ONE DAY AT A TIME!
As you can see – the garage has a entrance directly into the hallway and laundry room!
Our life has evolved – from NVA to S.C. and eventually N.C.
All in the span of some nine months!
Where has the time gone – and when did those 40 years fly by?
We started dating in early 1981 – married in June of 1982 –
and today – building a house!
The garage has a overhead storage area with pull down steps.
The three entrance doors are leaning against the walls.
There is a pipe coming up out of the cement floor that I have no idea what it is for!
We are hoping to be in by early June!
We have a storage unit nearby and have our belongings in there.
The walls have been coated on the bottom with a termite barrier!
The floor plates are bolted down into the cement
and metal corner braces to code for hurricanes installed!
Solid construction to N.C. building codes.
It was exciting to tour on a Sunday with no one around!
This is the third house that we have had built – most likely our last – both of us will be 72 !
If you wish to see more of the build – visit my previous blog
Where did the time go?
It has the pictures of the rest of the house!

We are building a new home – and where did the past almost 40 years go?
In fact – it seems like only yesterday – 1999 – we transferred to NVA from WNY!
Today – we are on another chapter of our life together.
And in a few months time – our house will be done and we will move in!
This will be our third house we have built together.
Time has a way of just moving ahead and so fast!
We decided to build here – instead of buying – mainly because
We will have everything we want – for basically the same price!
Everything in our price range we looked at – had to have updates –
or did not have a garage, or too small.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World

We traveled back to NVA to first watch our granddaughter play college soccer
at The University of Lynchburg!
We spent the night – Friday , standing in the rain to watch them play!
She scored a goal and they won 4 to 1!
We spent the next day hiking along the river in Lynchburg!
We left Sunday morning taking Sarah with us to Leesburg
Where she spent the night and then her mother and Ella picked her up!
We stayed here for the entire week – enjoying family times.
We had a ton of things to do –
Inspection – rotate tires – oil change
Clean up storage locker – take things back with us-
Arrange to have storage unit moved down to Ocean Isle Beach – N.C.
See some people to pick up some things –
and do our dentist appointments for cleaning and x-rays.
Our trip has almost come to a end –
SUNSET at Tammy and Marcus house!

We decided before a late lunch to walk the river trail in Lynchburg Va.
We had time to kill before eating a late lunch –
besides – Maddy wanted to get out into the open and walk
as she loves to hike even by herself!
After a couple miles we made it to the turn around
where this was as far as we would go even though it continued!
It was time to jump – act wild – and be funny!
Before heading back to the hotel and have a serious game of RUMMIKUB!
I was called over to help Ella out – they told me to stay away after I helped her! LOL

We had a fine day to be out and about – so we decided to show them some nature
As they are all about the outdoors!
We went back to Vareen Memorial Gardens –
just before you cross the state line into N.C. in Little River S.C.
Across the marsh and over the tidal canals –
at low tide – does not look so scary when empty!
We entered the trees and brush along a sand pathway – trail.
We had been here a couple times before
bringing family to explore and see the ICW and the beauty of a pristine nature walk.
The girls loved this as did Debby who is all about the outdoors and hiking!
We soon entered the trees and bush growth
it was shaded in here and I think would be welcomed in the S.C. heat of Summer!
One last walkway before entering the pine and cypress trees!
The path is marked – and branches off in all directions!
A shaded walk – can be a couple miles if you select the right path
We choose the shorter route – we had some more places to show them!
WE WILL BE BACK someday we told them!

PAPA’S WORLD – HIKING THROUGH VAREEN MEMORIAL GARDENS WITH FAMILY!
It has gone by so fast – the day they were married.
It seems like only yesterday –
now fast forward – and three beautiful daughters later
They still adventure out and into the mountains
be it camping – hiking or compete in a obstacle course together!
Tough mudder or Spartan race!
The family has grown – one in college( playing soccer) – Maddy.
One a senior and attending college in the fall and also playing soccer ( Ella)
And the third youngest still in H.S. Freshman – aspiring in arts and dance. (Sarah)
Three beautiful daughters!
They love the outdoors – hiking – zip lines – camping – lakes – swimming.
Through the years – teaching them about life –
Once a Buffalo Bills fan always a Bills fan!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
The years have passed – the family grows on – always seeking the outdoors.

They still live back in NWPA – where I Sherry and I grew up.
Troy – was a builder – from the ground up – Shawn runs his own energy – audit company
and Trisha his wife runs the office,
Troy has since joined Shawn and runs the crews.
They range in the state of Pa.
state programs for the elderly.
Troy when young with his cousin.
Shawn and Trisha – wedding – my little son has grown up!
While they remain some 700 miles away
they are still in my heart and memories.
They are both this way – kind – caring and both willing to help anyone.
I have two grand sons – Ryan and Dylan. Both from Shawn.
Being so far away – we do not see them as often as I would like.
But – when we do travel North – we do meet up.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World

They began gathering their shells –
We had shown them the shells that the grand kids had hung from the tree!
They loved doing this – and when other family members come down
we shall do the same!
We spent some time here – reading other shells and found one with a date of 1990!

The three Swans that were here first are gone – so we are told.
Seems the Male chased one and in doing so – at another pond –
It somehow broke it’s neck!
Then they found one that had been bitten by a snake!
The third – we just do not know and we were told this by a couple who live here!
These two were reintroduced by Wildlife management
we were also told!
I have watched them fly in and land –
right across the view we have on the fourth floor!
I have also watched them take off –
and fly down to the other end of the small lake.
It is a very loud noise as they beat their wings and take off!
I watch them sleep on the banks during the day in the sunshine.
And – in the moon light at night see two white shapes floating just below us!
There are other groups of water fowl
Different types of Ducks – Geese –
Birds from the Ocean a half mile away!
But – I love the Swans the most!

PAPA’S WORLD: THE SWANS HAVE RETURNED livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
We all were hungry!
So – where do you go during a pandemic – social distancing?
We had been hiking the trails of Vereen Memorial Gardens!
The little ones had some snacks but it was not enough.
So – we decided to take them to “LOCAL ON THE WATER”!
There was one other couple there – outside – so we had the entire place to ourselves!
The kids loved it – swinging – sand pit – corn hole – and watching the boats
go up and down the ICW!
Here came a tugboat – leading a flotilla of telephone poles!
This caught the eyes of all three!
One after another they passed – the poles had cables attached –
the lead tug guided them – the middle tug kept the front and rear poles in a line!
The third tug brought up the rear – all in all it stretched the length of at least a football field!
We were all just watching it pass by!
We have been here before – at least three times!
And have found that during the afternoon –
hardly anyone is here – making social distancing perfect!

One of our favorite places to go and walk & show visitors –
Is Barefoot Landing – maybe 4 or 5 miles from where we are staying!
Walking around with the little ones –
all the while they are eagar to get to the playground –
to get that energy all bundled up out!
They loved it here and even made some friends who they will never see again!
Playing tag – up and down and all around for a hour or more!
I found that to be awesome – to move and save this over 200 year old oak tree.
And to build a playground around it!
We teach them about nature – walking the paths and trails!
TAG YOU ARE IT! and so it goes – not once but twice we brought them here –
and if they had it their way – we would of been here all day- everyday!
A walk along the boardwalk of the ICW
and the boats and Barefoot resort!

Sherry has introduced crafts to all the grand kids –
and to this day – the three older ones still do crafts!
All you have to do is say craft and the go right to the table – no fuss!
The older ones have that same talent – Ella has won awards for her creations.
She teaches them – one at a time – not only crafts – but life itself!
