Papa’s World – Time – pictures – memories!

This past Christmas – decorations – lights and colors!

We had one tree outside on the covered porch –

One tree inside in the living room-

And one small tree in the enclosed Lanai!

Sherry does a fantastic decorating job!

I – do both trees that have decorations.

Just a picture for a memory of the holidays!

The same porch from the summer!

We always have flower pots –

but this year the deer have eaten everything we place outside!

I have used all types of sprays – none worked!

I ended up moving the pots inside the porch and near the walls.

That helped but it was always a pain to move in morning and night!

Just a picture of the past summer!

Posting positive thoughts – good vibes and sweet memories!

Papa’s World – for family – friends and a history of who and what we are!

Just a look at our life together.

A look back in time at a sweet memory!

All six grandkids are on the beach.

Memories to cherish –

A time in the past when they all were young!

Today – Maddy is 24 years old!

Just a picture of a time long past for a memorable memory!

A picture of the collapsed Kinzua Via Duct Bridge –

This bridge was built in the 1800s to ferry coal from the coal fields of Pa.

It also is where Sherry was raised a few miles away in Mount Jewett, Pa.

A tornado came through some years ago –

and took down half the bridge where it remains where it crashed to the ground!

Today – it is a Pa. State Park –

and has been converted into a walkway –

Where at the end is a viewing platform with a glass floor!

Here – you can stand on it and look over 300 feet straight down to the floor –

Of the Kinzua Valley where Native Americans once roamed!

Just a picture of Pa. – where Sherry is from!

Here is Maddy –

Taken two years ago at her senior year graduation from the University Of Lynchburg, Va.

She was the oldest in the beach picture of the grandkids!

Just a picture of how grandkids grow up!

A mother with her two daughters –

Debby – Sherry and Tammy!

Swedish genes run deep!

Just a picture of those I dearly love!

My blog each and every day represents to the future generations of us who came before them!

I want to thank everyone who reads these blogs worldwide!

PAPA’S WORLD!

WHERE THE PAST WILL MEET THE FUTURE!

Papa’s World – Old-time Friends and Family!

Here I am – mid 70’s –

And looking in the mirror – seeing all the past – present and hoping the future holds more!

I see family vacations and remember that this now is what we did when we were younger-

with parents and older family members-

Beach vacations with young grandkids –

who now are the parents of our grandkids!

These same friends of today –

were our young friends of yesterday!

Going on 40 plus years for some and 37 years for others-

We have maintained that friendship and now –

our children and theirs have children.

The past does seem to repeat itself!

Our grandchildren of today –

It was only yesterday so it seems that we had a similar picture taken!

This is that picture taken so many years ago –

Life goes by –

but hearts remain the same –

PEACE – LOVE and HAPPINESS!

Today our dream of beach life –

Sun – Sand and Surf –

has been realized here on the mainland of Ocean Isle Beach.

Where once again – old friends and family gather –

to live on and share dreams.

Old friends from WNY 30-plus years ago –

Standing in the Sunset of our lives –

sharing our dreams while living their own many miles away!

Papa’s World – Through the eyes of our children – our generation lives on – OUR meaning of life.

OUR meaning of life.

My blogs are for this very reason – leaving a legacy for OUR future generations.

Our granddaughter Maddy – is a senior at the University of Lynchburg – Engineering Science – soccer – life.

Through her we live – we watch – we cheer – and the future generations will know us –

Blogging has become my pictorial journal of all our lives –

To pass on down through the generations to come.

Children are our destiny.

She is the oldest granddaughter.

Nother and daughters – bonded through life for a special occasion.

A view from the patio at Bluemont Winery – on top of a mountain.

MEMORY of family and friends on our three-part celebration of life for all three of them!

Gerhard ( Tammy’s father in law) Marcus ( Tammy’s husband) Kevin ( Marcus childhood friend)

The winery serves food and has music – and sits atop a mountain next to Mt. Weather –

The Government installation for doomsday.

Next to the winery sits a brewery called Dirtfarm.

Both are places that we like to revisit when we go home for visits!

Family and friends celebrating Tammy’s birthday!

Papa’s World – making memories – cookies – with the oldest grand daughters!

First you gather the ingredients – then you gather the grand daughters and their mother!
Mother ( Debby) Ella Sarah Sherry ( grand ma) Maddy

Memories are made each year during the holidays –

making Christmas cookies is one of them!

Sherry has done this for years – and they all love it!

They laugh and laugh at her and with her!
The results – or a small fraction of the results – all decorated by each of the grand daughters!

She teaches them her heritage and is passed down generation to generation.

Sherry is Swedish – her grand mother was born in Sweden.

She is 5 ‘ 9″ tall – and Ella is almost as tall – Sarah will be that also and Taylor at 10 years old

comes up to her chin!

The temptations are there – YUMMY!
She is a educator – teaching them to be themselves – honor – compassion and self worth!

Respect is what they have for her.

Admiration – and laughing – both at her and with her.

Going shopping with Grandma!

MEMORIES for a lifetime!

Ella Sarah Sherry

We will come up once more and spend a couple days and Christmas eve.

Then we will go back to Tammy’s for Christmas day!

The little ones are so excited and she made cookies with them also!

To them she is not grand ma – but MORMOR – mother’s mother in Swedish!

After Christmas we will once again head back to S.C.

Knowing that Memories were once again made

and captured into this blog

for future reading – seeing !

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

My little contribution to the cookie making!
ELLA will be on a soccer team in college – and will play against her sister Maddy at the University of Lynchburg!

But that is another blog in the works!

Papa’s World – life – living life – doing it my way!

Family – my why!

Living life doing it my way – became my blog site!

Family became my WHY

and FRIENDS became my reason – to meet my FAMILY!

However – I never stay in bed unless I am ill which is not often!

I think I have always been living life my own way

I am a watcher – listener – observing what is around me.

I have my opinions – unless asked – I keep them to myself.

I am a independent – I do not like party’s

I do not need to adhere to a agenda

I think for myself.

Hence – my blog livinglifedoingitmyway.blog

I do not choose one news outlet over another

I can see for myself – and think things through.

I listen to people talk – I see actions – I select what I think is the truth.

Both sides – and the middle.

My family – church – friends are important to me.

Not all of the above think as I do.

I respect that.

My blog is born of which I have described.

But – mostly to put down memories

in pictures and words.

PAPA & MORMOR

So that the generations now and those to come

have a place to go back and see just who we are.

Therefore my blog is born

Papa’s World – when I write – I express my thoughts!

My thoughts and words – relate to my own life

and that of the people who are dear to me!

Marcus Tammy Debby Mike Sherry

My family – whom we are close to –

They were all there for me when I had my heart attack

almost seven years ago – A WIDOW MAKER –

I was told by the staff!

You should not be here they said!

BUT – you are the most healthy heart attack victim

we have ever had in here – they also said!

YEAH – I WAS –

but I had done all the damage for 40 years

until I switched lifestyles

and started my journey to health

and was guided by my wife – SHERRY –

who became a Certified Health Coach

through courses by Doctor William Sears

and the teachings of Doctor Pam Popper

and a few doctors from the Cleveland Clinic.

Ella Bode Cassidy Taylor Sarah – my WHY!

Now – today – we practice healthy eating

and have passed it onto our children and grand children

Everyone in these pictures – follow our example.

We are partners in The Juice Plus Company –

have been for 15 years!

And so have these kids – as long as they have been alive.

Growing – listening – following – example –

all part of our life together

Living by example

Tammy and Debby

These two believed in us from the start

and you can see in them the healthy way of life.

This day we went hiking on part of the Appalachian Trail

only a few miles from THE DIRT FARM BREWERY!

Yes – we do relax – a three mile hike up and down the trail.

Then here to sit outside in Social distance

and allow ourselves to have a drink as a treat.

I sometimes go weeks and months

without a beer – I really do not like wine

or the hard stuff- only light beer.

This day we had all the grand kids except the oldest who

is in college at The University of Lynchburg playing soccer.

Bode is the only boy and he adores Ella

Yes – when I write I express my thoughts

in both words and pictures

putting them down – and saving them for the people

you see in this blog for generations to come.

GENERATIONS

For – you see – Sherry’s team – countrywide –

is called TEAM GENERATIONS –

for the very reason you see in this picture

passing on health to all the GENERATIONS to come.

Our legacy – which started 15 years ago and now is passed onto

the third generation –

lives through us –

TEAM GENERATIONS

Started by a MOTHER & TWO DAUGHTERS

Now extended across the country

Making children healthy

one day at a time!

TEAM GENERATIONS!
