It was a warm evening – and the kids were excited – we made our way onto the island and found a spot to park right across the street from the pier – we carried our chairs to a grassy area next to the roadway – we were about to have front row seats!
I am glad I had my HIPPIE YEARS all those years ago! YIKES!
All those years later – we have sold our home
and are spending time back and forth between our daughters homes.
Here – we are at Debby and Mikes at Lake Holiday – Cross Junction.
We have come for the 4th. of July – and the fireworks on the lake
at a friends of theirs dock!
We have been coming here for the past 14 years to be with them
The three oldest grand daughters!
Sherry is a senior sales cordinator
and Debby a Qualified National Marking Director.
Both for the same company –
The Juice Plus Company
and both certified health coaches.
The peaceful setting – ducks on the water – speed boats –
and pontoon boats pulling tubes and skiers.
We had a excellent view – and had watched the boats headed to the marina.
Observing is my nature – I like to watch – listen –
and I as I get older – I am learning –
looking and feeling the vibes of others.
I found this funny – but wife may not agree! Lol

WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY!
Walking to the dam to see the fire works –
Decorations for the 4 th.
Celebrating Sherry’s birthday –
FAMILY TIME !
For the next three and one half days –
we will be at our daughters house in Lake Holiday – Cross Junction , Va.
By the time you read this – a week has passed –
As I have LEARNED how to write and schedule !!!!
First night here – walk to the Dam of the Lake Holiday –
Where one car and chairs were placed around NOON !
You have to do this because hundreds of cars and twice as many people
Park here to watch the fireworks at dusk !
And a lot more than that are at the beaches and club house !
The water around the point – is crowded by 50 to 100 Boats !
” LOOK AT ALL THOSE DECKS ” on that house she exclaims !
Five or six decks!
Sherry has the field glasses –
and bringing into view the houses with all the decks !
When we arrived – Mike and I drove the second car down –
The area had become almost full
Cars and chairs everywhere.
The reflection off the water –
A few kids swimming –
Getting excited as the darkness sets in.
Conversing with neighbors –
Watching the boats –
Wishful thinking on buying a Pontoon Boat !
The rest of the family joined us later-
Celebrating Sherry’s birthday –
And then the first burst – that long waited moment has arrived!
A small celebration of the Birth of a Nation –
Caught through the lens of a camera –
Three generations –
Swedish decent
Mother
Daughter
Grand Daughters

Thank you for reading Papa’s World
Each year we celebrate – we pause for reflection – and give thanks !
A special day is almost here –
I remember many of them in the past –
One time we were at a park in SWNY state –
and we had SNOW FLURRIES !
That was weird !
We often spent time back then with friends – picnics –
But then had to go back to work –
Today – we are retired –
And mostly –
we spend it with family – or on vacation with them.
My wife’s birthday falls the day after –
So – we try to separate the two –
But that is easier said than done !
This year – we are traveling to our daughters house in Lake Holiday , Va.
But there have been a few times we spent this time on the lawn –
Of the Capital in D.C.
Watching the free performance –
And – the fireworks display.
Always gives me chills when we do that.
Our church and belief is big in our lives –
We give with no expectations of return.
This is just who we are.
Together as one.
CHANGE THE WORLD – MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE !
Tomorrow we celebrate – we pray – we give – we love – we embrace
“OUR COUNTRY TIS OF THEE – GREAT LAND OF LIBERTY “
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE !
