food smells

Papa’s World – healing – what you eat – is who you are.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

It is really hard to maintain that habit –

There are so many distractions – so many smells –

Just out walking – the smells of early morning –

we live in a very diverse neighborhood –

and you can smell the cooking for meals as you walk.

And it is mouth watering !

With me – I have given up fast food – milk – ice cream – soda –

I try not to eat red meat –

I stick mainly to chicken and fish.

Small amounts and not everyday.

I like Tuna in a can – solid white packed in water.

I like raw carrots – radish – cuke’s and tomato’s.

I rarely eat processed meat or cheese.

My wife Sherry is a certified health coach –

she watches over me –

we try as often as we can to walk three miles

BUT NOW THE COLD IS HERE.

So- we walk the Mall or go to our health fitness center.

I could live in flip flops the rest of my life –

I am not a snow – ice or cold weather person.

Getting older – watching steps and stairs –

not walking on ice –

And smelling the food where ever you go.

IT CERTAINLY IS NOT EASY !

But – we have to do it !

We are aging – but our goal is to age healthy –

WE ARE WHAT WE EAT !

At our age – you never want that to happen ! LOL

Stay the course – enjoy your life –

Have a hobby – mine is writing –

And when I write it – it inspires me –

STAYING THE COURSE IS NOT EASY

I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

hopefully – this writing helps me stay the course.

WHERE FRIENDS MEET FAMILY

Papa’s World – neighbors get together to celebrate July 4th.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

A group of neighbors met at the clubhouse to celebrate the 4th. of July.

A couple neighbors precooked hot dogs while others brought dishes to pass –

the screened room off the pool offered shade –

Everyone pitched in and a good time was had by all.

Tables and food and decorations – and following are pictures of the neighborhood get-together.

A little music and some fun dancing.

65 to 70 neighbors came to enjoy one another company – name tags so we could all get to know one another.

We do have a few children in the community – and of course, they went into the pool to cool off!

Bringing the neighborhood together.

Thanks to everyone who came to meet other neighbors and celebrate the 4th. of July!

/ Tom / Leave a comment
Part of the tailgating at the field at the Unversity of Lynchburg, Va.

We had a spot in the upper parking lot – we could set up from 10 am. to 11 am.

We would be there until after 6pm. at which time we would make a dash across town

to Randolph College to watch Ella’s soccer game.

First – we would watch Maddy play – tons of food from all the tailgaters – live music

Alum games in Lacrosse and then a file hockey game –

Women’s soccer and then men’s soccer.

Papa Mike Debby

It turned into a beautiful short sleeve day! Sunshine – lots of folks wandering tailgate to tailgate –

smells of food and great company!

Mike Maddy – a senior – Ella and Debby

To honor her sister on this senior day – Ella wore a shirt from the University of Lynchburg

to honor her achievement in both studies and her four years of soccer

three of those four years a stater and this year a captain.

Ella herself has started and played in every game starting her Freshman year and now as a Sophomore.

She plays midfield for Randolph College.

Party waiting to happen!

We had seen the sunset on the beach – had a fire in the Solo Stove – a putting and chipping contest.

Snacks – food – some drinks and now the TV was tuned into Karaoke with music and the words.

LET THE PARTY BEGIN!

Starting off as always – Cindy and Jim.
And along came Steve – our neighbor.

The night was young – over three hours to midnight – a lot of Karaoke ahead!

Cindy – Sherry, and Jim are about to sing!
To break the ice a group sing along!

That broke the ice and then the songs came – one by one!

Diane – our next-door neighbor – found her song!
Sherry – taking a drink and Diane singing.
Cindy – Dottie and Sherry singing.

It was a fun time – new friends and neighbors with our oldest friends.

Cindy – Sherry, and Jim

It was a happy night – full of friendship – fun and song.

Papa’s World – lunch at Bouy’s and a street music festival on Main street!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

I have wanted to stop in here and have lunch ever since we got here on 10-1-20!

It is a local place right on the beach in North Myrtle Beach!

These places always catch my eye – I just get a feeling about them!

They generally have good food and live music –

and this day – the food was great – a salad with grilled fish – and the music?

Well – right across the street is a block long and a block wide vacant lot –

And it was packed with tents – you could rent – and thousand of people!

A huge stage and three bands playing for six hours!

WE WERE RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE OPENING OF NORTH MYRTLE BEACH MUSIC FESTIVAL!

Our view from our table while eating lunch!

It is the first major event sanctioned by the town government since the start of the pandemic 14 months ago!

And people were out and about in golf carts – cars – trucks and just walking!

This was roped off and a charge to enter – you could rent out a canopy – and carry in drinks and food!

We did not go inside the ropes – instead after we ate – we walked around and around the whole roped off area as did many other people – they had chairs set up outside the ropes and golf carts – the police were there and ticketing anyone not parked legal.

I would say – inside – a thousand people – or more – I guess this is the fourth one they have had like this over the years – and the radio station was there and it also was broadcasting from the beach which was just as crowded!

Sherry entering the beach on main street!

We tried to walk the beach – but it was really crowed and full of young people – all right next to each other!

A look back toward sixth street where we usually go – and the other direction had even more people!

This area is pretty much not locked down – and you could tell the tourist season has begun!

I am happy for the the store owners who have suffered so much – many shut the doors and will not return.

But – we decided this was way too crowed for us – so we returned to the music and walked toward our condo.

Pausing once again outside the ropes to listen to a band – really good singing all the classics of summer of the 60’s and 70’s!

Paps’ World – Local on the Water – great views & Reviews!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Sherry and her sister searched the internet

for a place to eat lunch with a view.

And – just a couple miles away

they found LOCAL ON THE WATER!

The front of the building
A view of the side of the building with another outside bar.
And one of the reasons we selected – the VIEW!
And the second reason – four star menu!

We did not know this existed so close to where we are living!

It is only 11 streets away on the inter coastal waterway.

We wanted a view and we got one!

We asked to be seated as far away from the main area and still have a view!

Sherry – watching the boat traffic on the ICW!

Now – this place was very large – multiple levels and rooms

I saw two stages for music and four different bars.

Our seats were by ourselves for the most part.

The lunch crowd had just begun.

Several unique area’s for their late night action!

I asked how busy they were and she replied

on the weekend very busy at night.

So – so during the week

but lunch was popular and the place big enough

to allow social distancing!

Many areas for entertainment
Sherry and her sister Debbie

We ended up with a very good lunch

we all had different salads

I had the AHI TUNA!

Debbie the Cobb and Sherry the Pear!

One of our views!
Another view
Another view at one of the bars
