Feeling good

Papa’s World – Good Morning and have a great day !

Each day – I try to be positive

My blogs each day are for the most part a POSITIVE in a very Negative news day !

My criteria – follows three rules of thought for me.

One – share a smile ! Two – share a good feeling ! Three – be POSITIVE !

NORMAL ?

I could be a bit normal – but – I guess I am not – however – I see normal !

I see stories – I ask questions – I write them down – I memorize them.

My MOTTO

I live each day as it will be my last –

I plan ahead – I organize – I DREAM !

I call it ” LIVING LIFE TO THE PLUS ” one day at a time !

One of my favorites

George Carlin –

one of my favorites – always thought provoking –

He told a lot of truth – and made me think !

I think this fits today’s World

I could write on POLITICS each and every day –

endless – but I choose not to.

Instead – I look for gratitude –

I see rights and wrongs

I yearn for peace

And I look upward for guidance

I hope this explains my reasons for blogging –

my innermost thoughts.

Blogging is a way of reaching out –

extending thoughts and pleasant ideas.

To make a difference for one day in your life –

to be happy .

Sit back – grab a drink –

mine is coffee –

and just enjoy a moment to feel good before your day starts.

Then at the end of the day –

be reminded –

that in this blog – there is peace.

My three rules –

why I write each day !

Thank you and go in peace.

Papa’s World – Positive vibes – feeling good!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

When I look back years to when this picture was taken-

The twins – Taylor and Cassidy-

It brings many memories of when they were little.

Hugging, playing, and laughing.

Today, things have changed.

They both are their own identities.

Cassidy – Gymnastics – Cheerleading –

Taylor – acting on stage – singing and dancing –

And becoming an accomplished horse rider.

Both different –

Yet the same –

When not in my view –

Hard to distinguish who is speaking.

Both sing in the choir-

Both play the Violin-

Both are growing into beautiful young ladies.

BOTH – GIVING ME POSITIVE VIBES and GOOD FEELINGS!

A little bit of humor –

Bringing a good feeling today!

The Ocean is angry –

The white caps are endless –

But this is also our happy place!

We wanted to be near the beach –

The sand and surf.

To be able to walk –

GIVING ME POSITIVE VIBES AND GOOD FEELINGS!

Storms come and go –

Rainbows, sunshine-

and starry nights, and the moon.

All bring me –

POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND GOOD FEELINGS!

When the oldest granddaughter chooses to spend long weekends with her grandparents.

Maddy – an Environmental Scientist –

makes my heart feel so good-

Giving us both POSITIVE VIBES AND GOOD FEELINGS!

Taylor on her first horse ride years ago!

Papa’s World – HUMOR in the world of golf!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Good day, everyone!

Humor goes a long way in a round of golf!

Here – Sherry, Bob and Pam, and I-

enjoy nine holes of golf in Florida!

After all –

For me,

It is that ONE SHOT that brings me back time after time!

It is the most stressful game I have ever played!

But also the most enjoyable game I have ever played.

AND THIS IS ME IN THE ABOVE!

Playing golf with friends –

It is a fun-filled day –

Good shots and bad shots –

But I always have a fun time!

LOL – But is this a “GIMMIE PUTT” if it is for par or birdie?

Always a fun-filled day when these three get together to golf!

Or for drinks! LOL

LOL – how true this is!

Jimmy – my friend –

from back in Eldred, Pa.

Before golf –

We played softball together in the mid-70s!

All these years later –

Still close friends and now playing golf –

At least I try to! LOL!

In my world of golf –

So true –

But hitting that one shop or making that long putt-

So worth the frustration!

I hope I brought some HUMOR to your golf game today!

Papa’s World – POSITIVE GOOD THOUGHTS!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

I have always believed in equality for Women.

Sherry and I share jobs around the home.

However,

she won’t let me wash clothes or dry them! LOL

I can carry them into the laundry room

and take them out-

and back to the bedroom.

There – I fold my clothes and put them away.

Dishes – I hand wash some –

I stack the dishwasher –

I have a system for the dishwasher –

Each has its own place,

As does the silverware.

Since most of the time,

it is me who unloads it-

I like that it is organized –

so I can grab like items –

and put them away.

I also do most of the sweeping of the floors –

and run the vacuum.

She does most of the dusting!

We strip and make the bed together –

We both do the cleanups after guests have left.

It’s the little things in life that you do-

that eventually take care of the big things!

We choose the positive sides of life!

It is too short to live life-

with negative thoughts.

We both “LIVE LIFE TO THE PLUS”!

One time,

as we visited my brother in “THE VILLAGES” –

He showed us the VILLAGES magazine –

In it was this picture of Sherry and myself.

I had completely forgotten all about it.

On a previous visit to his house –

We were walking –

and stopped for an interview and a picture.

This was by the radio station in Sumpter Landing!

The radio guy also made a comment –

as he watched us from the big window overlooking the square.

Roger had saved the article –

and was so excited to show it to us.

THUS IT IS A PAST GOOD THOUGHT FOR US!

Ella had one admirer growing up, Bode.

He would shout and wave her on –

as she played soccer in high school –

and on Travel Teams.

Today, she is done playing –

and he now plays soccer himself –

and flag football-

as well as golf.

Maybe in the future,

the roles will be reversed.

BUT THIS PICTURE IS A GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

Sherry with our friends-

Jo and Paul at the Vietnam Wall –

Reflections of honor –

for those who gave their lives.

A GOOD THOUGHT AND MEMORY!

Thank you for reading.

Papa’s World – Some humor and good vibes.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

A little humor this morning –

I on the one hand –

wake up almost every morning at the same time.

Very seldom do I just roll over and continue to sleep –

Unless there is a Thunder and rain storm.

That seems to make me just lay there –

Listen to it and drop off to sleep once more!

LOL – some smiles for today!

For me – this is so true.

That is why I buy a higher beach chair.

I do not want people to see me rolling off to my knees-

and attempting to get up! LOL

Sharing a GOOD VIBE for the start of your day!

This most likely is me!

And it is true! LOL!

In a time not so far away –

In the VILLAGES playing golf.

MISS THIS!

If I could turn back time-

Our twin granddaughters-

who will turn 15 on their next birthday-

Playing hide and seek with PAPA!

This would be the squirrel asking Sherry –

Along with the Deer and Racoons –

She constantly replenishes the bird feeder! LOL

Papa’s World – VIBES – thinking positive!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

I have always led my life with –

“Do the small things in life – mostly – it will take care of the bigger things”!

When talking about the volunteer work we do for the food pantry –

I was asked – “Can they work”?

Now – the people who came and waited for food –

Most were elderly – on fixed incomes.

A few were homeless –

Others – you could tell had emotional problems.

A few were living in their cars.

Different diseases you can not tell by just looking through a window.
I did not know these folks –

And I thought – why would you ask that question?

We were there to help –

And that question – well –

I hope that they never are in that position-

of the people –

who came for food –

Giving – helping – caring –

The little things in life that make the difference!

Near dusk from our driveway –

We caught a glimpse of a space rocket launch –

Going across the sky!

Sherry had been watching the news and it was announced the direction of the flight-

was taking in the night sky!

The wonders of space – rockets – exploring the outer limits –

A good vibe was shared from the driveway.

Routine – for me – going to bed when I am tired – fall asleep –

And without an alarm clock –

wake up between 5 and 6 am. every morning.

Then a half hour of preparing for the day to come-

Getting dressed –

And making my one and only cup of coffee for the day.

Sipping it as I read the paper online.

Skipping the absurd from either the left or the right.

World events – looking for the positive to start my day.

Following sports and checking my emails and notifications.

Then writing my daily blog.

ROUTINES that I enjoy.

Let the new day begin!

Today is a blog on good vibes –

A blog that gently leads you into a day of your life.

I want to thank everyone who reads this.

Papa’s World – Uplifting good thoughts!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

My uplifting thoughts for the day – Enjoy –

While many of you do not know this picture

It sits atop a high dune on Sunset Beach,

Bird Island,

at the SW end of the beach.

It has a plaque on it –

And the snow is very rare!

In memory of the two people responsible for installing the

KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX decades ago!

Now – it looks like this –

But over the decades that old mailbox –

has been replaced many times.

Inside is a journal that when full of written thoughts –

Has been retrieved by volunteers over the years –

And sent to S.C. University-

to be preserved for the history of all the people-

who have written down their thoughts on the journals’ pages.

There also are two benches to sit and meditate –

or write in the journals with a view of the waves –

on the sandy beach.

This was because two hippies those many decades ago –

lugged all the items needed down the beach –

and put them in that first mailbox.

Today the Kindred Spirit Mailbox remains a testament to those two

With plaques with their names on the benches!

Here is a good vibe and good thought for the day!

A word for you on what you have become!

Enjoy the day and count the blessings!

In one of the many ponds in Cameron Woods Community –

Resides an alligator.

It is large and getting bigger.

Most times it resides in the middle of the pond.

While we keep a watchful eye on its whereabouts –

I am more concerned about keeping that watchful eye for snakes!

Yes – we do have them-

and a couple different ones are poisonous!!!

But – that is part of living on the eastern coast of N.C – S.C.

Along with Red Wolves – Turkeys – Bob Cats –

Deer – Racoons – Bear and many other animals.

Nature is my good vibe for the day.

I tend to focus every day-

on the positive side of life in general

Being in our senior years –

life is too short-

to dwell on negatives.

HERE IS A SALUTE TO POSITIVE VIBES!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

In today’s hectic life – news is front and center every day – most of it dividing families – friends –

neighbors and people in general –

Today – this blog – I try to bring a different perspective –

GOOD THOUGHTS – SOME SMILES –

My blog is about life – family – friends and places –

I hope today gives a little of all to you!

In our backyard – I placed these faces on the tree facing our home – each time I look outback –

I see them looking back and smiling – even at night as I have a solar light shining on them.

It gives me a sense that not all the news is alarming – there is still a little humor out there!

LOL – and in my case – a lot of the above brings a great salad – always a perfect shot to bring me back!

A picture says a thousand words – NORTH MYRTLE BEACH –

SHAGGING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD-

Dancing to the beach music for the past 80-plus years!

Generations – grandparents – parents and grandchildren fill the dance floors.

Competitions – junior shaggers –

Sidewalks are full of granite-dated names of past shaggers all around the town.

A little music – dancers in clubs and good times –

and a water tower with a couple dancing the night away – brings joy –

A good thought for the day!

This picture was drawn by our granddaughter when she was just 11 years old at our home in OIB!

She is so talented – she plays the violin – sits down at the keyboard and plays a Billie Eilish song

without a music sheet –

Bring joy to my heart –

Another generation to carry on happiness.

Cassidy when she was maybe three – or about to be.

A feeling of pride in my heart!

Both of us have always loved the sand – surf and warm days at the beach.

Now – in our last home – we are but minutes away –

from two beaches and our time is spent walking the sand and surf – whenever we want to.

A calming influence in the turmoil that seems to be in the news daily.

OUR WHY WE ARE HERE IN OCEAN ISLE BEACH!

As the sun sets on another day in our place in the world – love – kindness – sharing and helping.

We are but a small voice in a large sky – but hopefully – others join us.

Belief in yourself is your “WHY” for a better life and feeling!

Confident – loving – happy – caring –

All can be free to yourself.

Feel the moment – engage your life – be you!!!!

Greet the day as the first day of your positive life!

I find that I read to keep my news fresh-

I can tell if it is going to be positive or not!

I CHOOSE POSITIVE in my life.

I also live my life one day at a time.

I keep a calendar –

I write things down to remember –

and I write POSITIVE FAMILY – FRIENDS BLOGS!

We enjoy getting together with long-time friends –

golfing is a way of relaxing for all of us!

Friendships are important in our life together –

as it also is with family!

FAMILY from Pa. –

Back where we were married 42 plus years ago.

Family from back in NVA-

Where in 2020 –

we made our move to OIB in N.C.

Family from NVA –

Having good thoughts and a positive outlook in this climate –

Keeps one on an even keel!

Knowing the history of the DC area –

keeping in mind of those who came before us-

This brings me to a good thought –

Respect those who came before!

LOL – some humor for the day!

In my old age – this just might be true!!! LOL

Laugh at at what this means – being a senior I can identify!

This is the KINDRED SPIRIT mailbox!

It exists on the far western end of Sunset Beach –

About a mile and one-half walk from the pier-

Put here by a hippie couple four or five decades ago!

Today it is maintained by volunteers.

Inside is a journal you can write in.

As the journals fill –

another is placed as a replacement.

Worth the stroll down the beach –

a place of solitude-

a place to write your memories or thoughts!

THE KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX!

My hope is that this blog will bring some good things into your lives.

Thanks for reading and as always HGD!

For over 14 years – we got to watch Ella play soccer –

Travel – H.S. and then college.

She produced so much joy for us in watching her grow into a young woman.

Today – that is my GOOD THOUGHT!

Yes – I voted for President Reagan –

This comment from him is why,

in my mind,

he reflected a feeling I had and I voted for him.

Another good thought for the day!

We try as much as we can-

to help other people-

volunteering is our way of life.

A good thought for the day!

Humor – smiles and laughing –

bring a calm feeling to my life.

HUMOR FOR THE DAY!

Cassidy – how can you not smile at this!!!!!

MY SMILE FOR THE DAY!

This past year –

we celebrated both of us turning 75!

A long time ago – we all went to the beach on Oak Island-

Here is a picture of the grandkids –

Oldest to the left down to the youngest on the right!

If only we could turn back time!

Present – last summer – we went back to the beach as a family.

Here again is the picture of the grandkids-

Left to right – oldest to youngest.

While we can not turn back time –

We can celebrate each year of family time!

When Cassidy and Taylor were small –

we lived in Brambleton, Va.

Here we are at the town center in front of the theater.

Today – they are in 8th. grade-

MEMORIES OF TIMES GONE BY!

Every year for the past six-plus years –

Bob and Pam have made it a point in their RV journeys –

To stop in and spend some time with us.

We try to get in a round of golf or two.

TWO GRADE SCHOOL BUDDIES REHASHING CHILDHOOD!

That day in 1982 – June 25th. that we were married-

combining two sets of children-

a start of a journey that has lasted 43-plus years!

Positive thoughts reflect positive families.

It feels oh so good when your drive ends up in the fairway –

past the 150-yard marker to the green!

This does not happen all that often for me –

but when it does – I take a picture for a good memory!

This happens to me –

and when it does –

I bite my tongue and count to ten-

it just is not worth the mental thoughts-

Peace – love and good thoughts help the reactions!

This is Sarah when she was little –

our small fashion diva!

Her smile – her way of offering to help – she now is a beautiful young lady –

about to graduate.

But – I shall always remember little Sarah-

a special place in my heart!

When they were small –

Taylor and Cassidy –

today they are 14 years old –

Taylor is almost as tall as me and Cassidy catching up!

But there was a time they would come and crawl up into my lap!

Those times and memories are PRICELESS!

Hope – love and peace-

caring – hugging and helping-

Brings peace of mind to us all!

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS – AND OURS IS HERE!

Sarah – Ella and Maddy –

the three oldest granddaughters-

How the time has gone by – now adults –

and now about to begin their lives.

I shall always remember them as little in my mind and heart!

May this new year bring you good vibes –

loving – caring – happiness.

If you are ever visiting NWPA –

You may want to see “THE KINZUA AQUIDUCT”!

Located just outside Mount Jewett, Pa.

Built-in the 1800s as a way to ship Coal from this Pa. site over the KINZUA VALLEY-

Where Native Americans roamed-

thousands of years ago-

It has become a State Park –

A Tornado came through-

and took half of it down.

Today you can walk out on it –

and peer straight down 300 feet-

To the floor of the valley through a glass floor!

Warning –

not for the squeamish –

like me – who do not like heights!

But it is worth the time to visit the museum-

and see the history behind all this!

MY GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!!!!

One day many years ago –

Our twin granddaughters –

came to help bag up leaves!

IF I COULD ONLY TURN BACK TIME!

My good thought for the day!

The same twin granddaughters –

Now if I could make time stand still!

MY GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

FRIENDS – lifetime friends –

Sharing good times – golfing –

all those years –

and still getting together!

MY GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

My hope is that today –

I have given you some GOOD THOUGHTS –

And some GOOD VIBES to start your day!

Papa’s World – Some GOOD THOUGHTS!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

LOL! Some humor to start the day off!

Getting older each day –

requires stress relief from some funny sayings!

But – also –

glancing outside at the first rays of the Sun-

Living here in the South-

mostly is shorts and tee-shirt kind of weather.

Which – I might say –

goes a long way in setting the day ahead for me.

I glance at my calendar –

This is the only way I have to remember –

what is in store for the day!

Other than every Tuesday gather the garbage –

and get it ready to set out that night –

for pickup sometime on Wednesday!

On this day in question –

my duty is driving the wife to an appointment.

Funny how small things in life become

‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY”?

And the thought crosses my mind every time I am asked-

“WHAT DO YOU DO ALL DAY IN RETIREMENT”?

Well – I answer –

“I REALLY DO NOT HOW I FOUND TIME TO WORK “!

TRASH DAY – just another sample of keeping busy in retirement –

Keeping an eye on the gas tank-

and the prices go up and down –

Knowing where to buy that next tank of gas!

Muldane as it is –

retirement has changed my outlook on life as a Senior!

I find myself waiting for thunder and rainstorms –

To enjoy the noise of nature-

and the after –

of the noise from the woods –

frogs and other insects making loud noises.

Isn’t retirement relaxing?

It is for me –

doing what I want to do –

Not what that job required.

Every day is different –

that is why I have a calendar on my desk.

Time to go and get dressed –

time to have my morning breakfast shake.

My wife is up –

and make the bed.

Check the flowers outside –

did the deer eat them?

Look at the trees blooming as in Crepe Myrtles –

Funny how different colors bloom later than others!

All these questions and thoughts –

“HOW DID I EVER WORK FOR 48 1/2 YEARS?

This is the GOOD THOUGHTS –

of retirement for me!

I hope today starts your day with livinglifedoingitmyway.blog day!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

This is Sherry and I am very proud of her –

always thinking of kind deeds and helping people!

She volunteers – time –

and resources

and asks for nothing in return.

Helping people and giving what we can –

“ALLOW KINDNESS TO SPREAD”!

Both of us love to golf –

and when we can – with friends -sometimes just ourselves!

It is always a risk-reward –

it is that one shot you can remember that brings us back!

In golf – I think you have to have humor –

because it can and does humble you!

When a bad shot or putt occurs –

just think there is always the next one to make you smile!

To us and our “WHY” of life –

Giving what we can and not expecting any returns!

Expressing “GOOD THOUGHTS” daily –

Living is a code to us in that we try as much as we can to make life easy for those in need!

“GOOD THOUGHTS” daily are my way to maintain a perspective in this time of anxiety!

Today I share I share GOOD THOUGHTS – HUMOR and KINDNESS –

being with friends is PRICELESS!

In today’s world – seeing all the news – hearing all the news – I just have to have a way to relax-

and not let it bother me!

That is a reason I love golfing – out on the course in nature –

Here you see all types of critters and birds!

You learn not to pursue a ball if you see an unchained dog –

a fence or in deep grass where snakes are!

Water – leave it be – there are gators in most ponds!

My game and losing golf balls,

has improved if I stay in the middle of the fairway! LOL

Golf is my release for all the negative news of today – I do not watch cable news –

Just riding the cart – sun and warm breeze –

The next shot and if I make a good one –

well I will be back – if not a good one –

THEN I STILL WILL BE BACK! LOL

I am on Facebook – but I unfollow a lot of posters who are so political –

I do not need that in my life

and it is the far left and far right!

I enjoy reading people’s trips –

adventures and families!

I enjoy seeing different lands –

cities and countries.

It can be enjoyable without all the noise of political interference!

Staying positive – seeing nature

and the beauty of the world we live in!

This blog today is a positive blog –

one with humor and just being nice!

I hope this brings a smile to you –

and let you know that there is a life without negative thoughts!

We live our lives to be kind – giving – sharing – family – friends – one day at a time!

Smile – laugh – humor – it’s FREE!

Children are our future – show them gratitude – give them feelings – share honesty!

We have a short time left in our senior years – caring and believing.

What we have left – will be honesty – friendships and belief in humankind.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

In our journey of life together – we have lived in WNY – NVA – S.C. and now in N.C. –

on the border with S.C.

We have found our dream house – and our Cameron Woods Community –

We are 4 and 6 miles away from two beaches.

Eight miles to shopping in big box stores and three large grocery stores within four miles.

We can choose professional entertainment within twenty to forty minutes.

Within minutes we can dine on the ICW or the Ocean!

We have good neighbors – always waving or stopping to talk.

We can walk nearly six miles without leaving the neighborhood.

Soon all the construction on homes being built here will be done.

We have thirty golf courses to pick from within thirty minutes!

We believe in equal rights for everyone – we believe in law and order and a strong military.

We believe in the constitution and free government of the people and by the people.

We believe in peaceful protest and the election by the people –

We believe in God and church – we believe in family.

This is who we are.

Life is full of humor – you just have to see it and then smile!

Often times I see things while driving – and point it out to my wife and we both smile!

Be kind – smile – both are “FREE”!

Ella – now 20 – Maddy – soon to be 23 – Sarah – soon to be 17 – SMILES – bring sunshine into our lives!

Living our life into our senior years – always seeing them as they were and now as they are –

Living life tp the plus one day at a time!

Funny – but as our life goes into more senior years – we can appreciate what we have accomplished

and still enjoy our fruits of labor – that is life as a senior!

Today – Ella – Maddy and Sarah – our three oldest granddaughters – still the smiles!

Today I blog on our life in our senior years – living our dream and enjoying our life in retirement.

I have always championed equal rights for women – and will to the day I die.

Life is full of humor if you look for it! LOL!

I look for positive stories to read and positive – good thoughts to share – life is too short to do otherwise.

Our brand new Community Center has opened – Pickleball courts – pool and clubhouse.

My thoughts have always been this – “DO THE RIGHT THING”!

Trying to keep the weight off – requires a sense of humor – at least I can laugh at it!

Keeping it all in perspective – I like good entertainment – shows that make me feel good!

I am not good with scary shows or violent shows although I have seen some good ones!

AAHHHH! The wisdom of our senior years – living life to the plus one-day at a time!

I tend to unfollow people who post negative or insensitive posts – I have enough negative ‘STUFF” –

I choose to read and see the positive side of life!

Life is full of choices – doors to open and walk through! LIVE TO THE FULLEST!

I hope this starts your day off in a good mood – enjoy whatever the day brings –

listen to the sounds – see nature and live life to the fullest one day at a time!

Laugh – smile and have a sense of humor – living life one day at a time – and to the plus!

We love living close to the beach – walking – sitting and just enjoying sun-sand and surf!

We are retired – with a home business – living out our senior years – having family visits and returning back home to see them

With friends, we just may do this in modest consumption! LOL!

In my autumn years – I channel out the negative press – news – and look for the good in humankind!

Papa – chilling at Brickyard Landing golf course in N.C. – a fifteen-minute drive from our home on the ICW!

We had come to the driving range to hit some golf balls and then have a drink on the veranda overlooking the 18th fairway and green!

HAPPY LIFE living each day one day at a time!

While I have never done this – I have come close and one time my buddy did this and went over to the homeowner and said he was sorry!

That proved to be a good thought and outcome as the owner then accepted his apology!

My go-to when I feel the need to SNACK! Can get more info by contacting http://www.ssherrylynn49@aol.com

I have been eating these for 16-plus years – sometimes in place of a meal or on the golf course.

Love the little DENNIS!

Kindness – friendships – giving thanks – in a world sorely needing it!

Every day I look for the GOOD things in life –

We are but a moment in time – so my thought is to express it – to live it and enjoy it!

Many quotes from this man – many thoughts – I find solace in his words.

Papa’s World – this site – kindness – good thoughts – trying to make a difference.

/ Tom / Leave a comment
Make a difference in people’s lives – share gratitude – be an example.

My daily life on social media is to bring smiles – happy thoughts – good deeds – sharing thoughts – being a good person.

The news is filled with sorrow – hate – negative words – death and destruction.

Political discourse – friend against a friend – family against family.

Split down the middle and agitated with a false narrative.

Actions from adults are mirrored by a child – words from adults are heard by children and repeated.

Our actions as adults form the life of a child – repeating endless history through time.

The world needs us as adults to be the eyes of a child.

We form our children – we protect them yet they see our actions and imitate them for the worse not the better.

I try with my blogs and with my social media each and every day to spread love- kindness – happy thoughts –

family – friends – church – smiles – and positivity toward the human race in general.

In the sunset of my life – seeing the good – and giving what we can.

This is PAPA’S WORLD and WELCOME – thanks for reading!

Papa’s World – random pictures – kids – golf – and a rainbow in the fountain on the lake.

/ Tom / Leave a comment
Today – I post some pictures – just random pictures – but ones I have close to my heart!
Taylor holding MorMor’s hand – in turn MorMor also holding Bode’s hand.

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.

These two are coming closer and closer together as they grow up.

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!

I thought this to be funny – it brought a smile to my face!

We moved south to find more time to golf – warmer weather and being close to our friends!

Sherry and Cindy – we have been friends with the McBrides for almost 35 years.

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!

This is what we have wanted to do for a very long time – it was too expensive in NVA and down here so many courses to choose from.

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

The view we have almost every morning when we wake up – the master bedroom has a big glass sliding door on her side of the bed – where all she has to do each morning is open her eyes and see this.

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.

Now the sun shines – causing a rainbow in the mist of the water fountain!
A peaceful setting we shall miss when we leave – but we have had by the end – nine months.

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.

It would of been nice to have lived to the left of the picture – single family homes!

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!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Today – I share smiles – good thoughts and positive feelings!

We are following our new dream after 14 years.

Learning and using people’s names!

That is a tough one for me even though I have a good memory.

Sherry will introduce me and I just seem not to retain it!

But – I am going to try harder!

Today I carry this in my pocket –

and the darn thing has a mind of its own.

All f a sudden I will faintly here a voice and I look around.

Sherry just laughs – my smile for the day – it is YOU!

Lo and behodl – I pull my SMART PHONE OUT –

and someone is talking – could be a video – or someone I do not know.

Anyway – it provided a smile and laugh at my expense! LOL

Willie Nelson – part of the famous country singers –

who called themselves “THE OUTLAWS” –

says it simple and true –

Which brings a smile to my face

and good thoughts in my heart!

YEAH – on my bucket list of UFO’S – Loch Ness

and BIG FOOT!

Now – another blog sometime – or did I already write one?

I did see a cluster of UFO’S and have no idea what they were.

But – I would love to see a BIGFOOT – not up close –

but to verify in my own mine they are real!

And YES – after my sighting of lights- I BELIEVE _

As MUELLER would say –

“The truth is out there”!

You know – there is truth in this – enough said –

SMILE – YOU’RE ON FACE BOOK!

Been together 39 1/2 years –

Married 38 plus years

and now – we are on our next adventure

Time to buy the CRAYON’S! LOL

Thank you for reading Papa’s World
