As soon as we said we are going to take a walk – They both jumped up and off we went!
They love their MORMOR – Swede for MOTHERSMOTHER!
They are really close to her – Cassidy always calling – texting – face time or zoom calls – every week.
Taylor joining in “HI MORMOR”!
“MORMOR – guess what”?
“MORMOR – I got a new book”!
“MORMOR – only 10 days until we see you”!
And so it goes week to week – MORMOR and the TWINS!

During my early youth – my grandma raised me as my parents both worked.
I remember sitting on her lap and asking when I could go to school to see a first grader
walking down the street – who was two years older than I!
I think this puts me at about four years old!
She was everything to me and I am sad that my memories are not more there about her.
These were my mother’s parents and he passed away before I was born – my middle name is after him.
Granma was 85 years old when she passed away and had 11 children!
She was PA. DUTCH – Maiden name of Schick,
and followed the lumber camps around –
cooking meals for all the lumberjacks in Pa.
She met my grandfather during that time.
He was Irish and English – a big man – some say 6’3″ –
They were both what we called down homers in Pa.
The Brookville – Corsica area below Dubois.
My grandfather was a farmer and produced his own flower – pork – beef – milk and vegetables.
It was said during the Great Depression – he would walk and carry food to the neighbors
to keep them from starving – never asking for anything in return –
as they had 11 children of their own to feed.
He passed from a heart attack as he was pulling a hog up to butcher.
Just a little family history to pass on to my kids – as there is not many left of my generation.

While visiting us – our daughter and granddaughter went with us to Sunset Beach
to view its renowned sunset.
It seems everyone heads to this location –
as I dropped them off and had to drive a couple blocks to park.
But – it was worth the walk back in time to capture the mother and daughter doing a selfie!
The trip was worth it and while no clouds for reflection – the marsh provides that quiet feeling!

The parade had been canceled due to weather – rain and strong winds.
Our granddaughter was leaving that afternoon to go back to the Unversity of Lynchburg, Va.
So we made an early trip to NMB with her to take in the parade and see some vendors.
Everyone was throwing candy – shirts – hats – beads!
It was a fun time – and lasted over an hour!

They drove down from Lake Holiday – Cross Junction – Winchester Va.
Ella had come home from Randolph College in Lynchburg Va.
at the start of her spring break.
Whereas a Freshman – she started on the college soccer team at midfield.
We were excited as it would be the first time for them in the new house.
Debby’s youngest – Sarah – fifteen years old –
stayed home with her father – Mike – as she was not yet on spring break.
They as a family are planning on coming down in June after all are out of school.
While visits seem to go by so fast – just not enough time to show them everything.
The upside is they loved where we live and will return.
She drove herself five hours from Lynchburg Va. – her University – to spend her break with us!
She had a test in the morning of the day she started out – but she and Sherry wanted to see the beach.
It was cool out – a cold front had come in from Florida all the way North to N.E.
And the wind made for a chilly walk in the blowing sand.
Here you can see a deserted beach and how the sand blows across it – stinging your eyes.
It was worth the time to take her to both beaches – to relax after her five-hour drive –
the crazy world of college and tests – maintaining an almost 4.0!
And grandma had her eldest granddaughter once again in her home!
Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD, a place to just rest your thoughts and enjoy the day.

Many times when her father was alive – we would go on vacation with them –
then when he passed away – we continued taking GIGI with us where ever we went.
You see GIGI ( Barb) was Swede through and through – her mother was born in Sweden.
In Mount Jewett where they lived – was an early Swedish settlement from immigrants.
The men in 1886 built a replicant of an eight-sided Swedish church – and the one in Sweden still stands as does the one called Mount Nebo in Mount Jewett – in NWPA!
Every year in that little town in NWPA – a Swedish festival is held.
Both Barb and Bill at one time were the king and queen of that festival.
Memories of GIGI for the grandkids was she was always laughing – smiling – red cheeks –
Holding her hand as they walked or climbing up and sitting beside her.
Learning how to sing a song in Swedish and singing it to her.
Those are memories not lost – but retained in our minds.
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – where memories come alive and live on.
It seems like only yesterday they came and stayed often overnight sleepovers!
Our six grandkids all lived close to us before we moved to OIB, N.C.
They had their own SPOTS that they would claim to spend the night.
Ella had a single bed adjoining our Master Bedroom.
Maddy had her own bedroom – a single bed.
Sarah – Taylor – Cassidy and Bode all had their spots on our master bedroom floor!
I miss those times – foam mattresses – blankets and lots of pillows.
Giggles during the night.
Today Maddy is a junior in college – Sarah a Freshman in H.S. and Ella a Freshman in college.
Taylor and Cassidy are in the 5th. grade – 11 years old!
And now we have Bode – the only boy.
The sleepovers are gone – vacations are now here – bedrooms are gone – college soccer games are here.
Gone are the skateboard’s outside – bikes – easter egg hunts in the yard –
Today it is looking forward to visits here and visits back at their homes.

We are and have been a tight-knit family – mother and daughters – admiration – close – loving.
Both daughters follow in their mother’s footsteps in Health and Nutrition –
Tammy has her own consignment business for children in name brands only.
She also runs two internets at home businesses –
Debby is a leader and Certified Health Coach and has her own internet stay-at-home business.
She is a QMND for the Juice Plus Company and a leader in Team Generations.
The family concept is born from Sherry and her parents whom she was very close to.
She is much like her dad in his dreams of having his own businesses throughout the years.
She has his smile and tall thin build – she has her mothers youthfulness –
and growing up – they looked like each other when she was young.
The girls were small – Tammy was just five and Debby ten-
second marriage for us both.
Here Tammy second from the left and Debby holding her nephew, Cousins Kristie, and Bethany & Natalia.
Aunt Ceil on the end.
We were married on June 25th. 1982
being engaged for one year.
A family to this day very – very close.

I have always been a history buff – ancient history – but also family history.
My sister and brother were fifteen and ten years older than me.
So when I came along I had missed the family fishing trips to Canada each year.
And my sister became the family photo taker and camera buff.
All the family history was passed down to my sister’s daughter and then suddenly she passed away.
Unknown to me – a friend of their family cleaned out everything and threw it away.
Everything was gone except the few pictures I had and my brother had.
I decided that what happened there would not happen for me and my family.
So – by being encouraged by my wife Sherry – we set up this blog – where all the family history and pictures can be in one place for all to see and read.
She has encouraged me to write it down along with pictures for future generations to look back on.
I have two sons from a previous marriage – Troy and Shawn who still live back in NWPA.
Shawn runs an energy company contracting out to the state and large power companies.
Running state audits and working through state grants to insulate senior citizens’ homes from the harsh winters.
He covers the entire western part of Pa.
Troy – built homes from the ground up – anything you wanted he could do.
After years of doing this ( he was in high demand) Shawn talked him into coming to work for him –
His business has grown to almost seven days a week.
Troy runs the insulation and energy side while Shawn concentrates on the Audit side.
Troy is learning that side and taking tests and courses to also step in and help.
I am very proud of both these boys and trying to talk them into taking a break and coming down for a visit.
Winterizing homes in Eastern USA for the elderly has become big business – conserving energy
on the power grid for major corporations in order to provide heat and electricity –
He has tapped into a business that for him is seven days a week.
He constantly is looking to hire people and train as auditors.
Troy started working for him a couple years ago.
If anyone is looking for a career out there – contact me – fitztdf@aol.com and I will put you in contact with him – he travels the whole western part of Pa. North to South.
For them I write – post pictures and give them memories that I still have in my head.
Ryan lives in Tenn. and we have stayed in touch with him – he manages a hotel
and recently opened a bar – restaurant business with two other partners.
We attended his wedding a few years ago in Nashville, Tenn.
He has visited us once a few years ago – he served his country
and is like his father(Shawn) making his own way in the business world.
He just spent four years in the service and is now out – living with his mother or in that area.
He reminds me so much of Shawn.
While we do not often get to see either one – both are in our memories and hearts.
Hoping they can come and stay with us in the future.
He is all boy – cars – trucks – bikes – and always without shoes and socks – even in winter! LOL
This is my “WHY” for writing this blog – my memories put forth in words and pictures for all these grandkids and our children to read in the future.
Life in pictures in words – memories – past – present and future to come.
I want to thank my wife who is the driving force behind this blog.
SMILES – LAUGHTER – PEACE – HARMONY and POSITIVE THOUGHTS!
That is WHAT PAPA’S WORLD is all about.
Hiking the trails in Winchester Va.
Sarah still had classes.
Maddy – Ella -Cassidy – Bode and Taylor.
Debby – Tammy, and Sherry took the grandkids on a hike in Winchester Va.
It is about three miles long and is within the city limits.
It was a good walk and a way to expend all that energy!
Thanks for reading Papa’s World livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
TAYLOR BODE CASSIDY – children’s choir – Community Lutheran Church – Sterling Va.
Cassidy and Taylor sang solo’s in front of the congregation – Bode is still learning to read –
and when all three sing together – it is hard to tell who is who!
This has been going on for years – ever since the twins could walk!
They so look forward to it!
Who is always where the little ones are!
She is such a mellow puppy – but beware – she likes to chew!
So – you have to constantly watch her – the ornaments are mid-high on the tree! LOL
Thanks for reading – PAPA’S WORLD my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
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.
Thank you for reading PAPA’S WORLD my blog: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
The little guy learned that not hiking is in the mountains like he thought!
Crossing streams or climbing rocks – that is all he had ever done on a hike
Showing him nature – the marsh – water – sand – scrub trees –
He learned that there is more to this Earth – hoping to bring him back
in warm weather as we were told you could see “GATORS” then!
They were excited – walking into the trees on the sand path –
looking for birds – snakes – spiders
hearing the sounds and the marsh views!

As promised for the twins birthday celebration – their cousin Sarah would stay overnight and we all went to
the waterpark the next day. Ida Lee Waterpark and since it was Labor day weekend –
hardly anyone was there!
This sits just outside Leesburg Va.
The only way for him to join up with them again was to get a tube and get in as they passed him on the lazy river.
The water was a little cold but okay after they were in. The temps had cooled down to mid ’70’s!
All in all – we were there three or four hours!
Since it was a holiday weekend – most people had gone out of town – it was not crowded at all!
They had a blast on the slides and pools and lazy river – a obstacle course and a place to snack.

Yes – they are twins – and they had to be taken out early because Taylor was taking all the nourishment!
Today – Cassidy is normal for her age but Taylor is going to be real tall – like her MORMOR –
Swedish for MOTHERSMOTHER!
Sherry is 5′ 9″ and she will be taller than that.
We went back to NVA to watch the little ones and the puppy Marley – and Sarah came for overnight!
She is adorable and is a Goldendoodle – judging by her feet – she will be very large! She is so friendly and loving.
But – you must make sure to keep things out of reach as she tends to chew – thus she stood up and grabbed the hat of our son in law and that became history! LOL

She opened the envelope at her birthday party in July!
There was a picture of Star Wars and the attraction in Florida at Disney World.
“You will spend one week with grandma and grandpa in Florida!
You will ride down with them at the end of Jan.
and go to Holly Wood studios to see Star Wars
and at the end of the week – for the first time ever
They will put you on a plane and you will FLY back home!
We had done something special for Maddy when she turned 16.
Her wish was to be able to swim with the Manatee’s!
So – in the winter – she and her mom flew down –
and she did just that – and then we all drove back home!
Ella – her little buddy is Bode
He follows her everywhere and she just laughs!
She is so good to him and when she goes to college next year
She wants to become a Phys Ed teacher to the little ones!
She will be excellent – so kind – so much of a good heart.
And a very good soccer player.
We spent the time touring with her also – showing her where my brother lived
and the three town centers of The Villages!
We went to see the Manatees and the beach on the West coast
We toured the town where we were staying – and stopped in the coffee shop
to get her a chocolate chip cookie each time – she loved that!
Standing in line as we all watched – her forst time and she handled it like a pro.
Tears welled in my eyes –
my little Ella ( tiny) is what we called her
all grown up and out on her own.
Now – be careful – don’t mix with strange people I worried.
When she was small – she would always come to me – clutch my leg –
climb up into my lap.
I cherish those memories – “IS HE OKAY” she said to her mother
when I had my heart attack.
YES I HAD A LUMP IN MY THROAT
as I went from vantage point to vantage point watching her in the long line.

Ella will continue on in college playing soccer for Randolph College in Lynchburg Va.
She lost two years with injuries to her feet breaking a bone in each one.
But – she was determined and it paid off.
Her team is now 8 – 0 – 2 and headed to states.
They have five players continuing onto the college level!
They ended up in a double overtime tie for the game – 0 to 0!
They moved onto the districts –
But we were able to come home and watch four games.

ELLA MYERS – our little TINY – PAPA’S WORLD livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
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.
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!
We moved south to find more time to golf – warmer weather and being close to our friends!
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!
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
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.
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.
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!

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!

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!

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.

We ventured out and drove to Barefoot Landing – to let Sarah shop!
That is what she wanted to do the most beside walking the beach.
But – we decided since it looked really busy on the inside and outside
We would pass on this trip and go to a place that was not really that busy!
This was my first time seeing one here.
There were signs for this and snakes –
And at first we did not think it real as it was very still until it moved!
Hoping when the little grand kids come – we can show them a “GATOR”!
I actually like Barefoot Landing over Broadway on the Beach
which is in Myrtle Beach Proper.
We did do some shopping – well they did – I walked in – took a look around and went back outside to find a place to sit!
Sarah loved it here – her place to be – store to store!

He quietly came down the carpeted stairs –
and walked softly over to me where I was writing my blog.
Bode – six years old – our only boy – five grand daughters!
“How many sleeps are left Papa – before you go away”? he asked.
You see – every morning when we stay with them – before 6 am. down he comes.
“Will you walk to the bus stop with me Papa”?
He started a week ago going to actual school twice a week.
Three days at home virtual learning!
Two sleeps I answered and yes I will walk with you!
” I LOVE YOU PAPA”!
The twins – Cassidy and Taylor – have been in virtual learning the entire time
Making the choice not to go back to school –
They are thriving and doing really well!
They both are in the basement only in different rooms –
they help each other out – Cassidy will always go to Taylor if she does not understand!
I had no idea what the glasses were for – but was told –
“They are BLUE GLASSES Papa – to protect your eyes from the screen on the chrome book”!
WOW – they look so old in them!
He told us he liked school – does not know how many are in his class –
Does not know how many boys or how many girls are in his class!
” But Papa , I am the fastest one in my class”!

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!

These three are anything but this!
They love playing games – competitive games!
They play sports – the two oldest – soccer – and one is in college playing
and the second – next fall will do the same.
The youngest is into dance – loves the arts – and wants to go to NYC!
All three love their Grandma – laughing with her and at her!
We took Sarah and Ella for a week to the beach last summer –
We took Maddy to swim with the Manatee’s for her 16th. birthday
We took Ella to Disney Star wars for her 16th. birthday
And now when Sarah reaches 16 – she wants to go to NYC and Broadway!
I will sit that one out – her mother can take my place!
Maddy has made the leap to college – now in her Sophomore year
as a Freshman she played in 13 games at the University of Lynchburg – Va.
And has maintained a GPA – over a 3.85!
She just played this past weekend – having one assist –
one barely missed assist and one barely missed shot on goal.
They won 2 to 0!
Ella will finish her H.S. soccer this Spring –
She had two colleges to pick from and choose Randolpf College in Lynchburg Va.
Just across town from her sister and they will compete against one another!
Sarah is all about fashion – no interest in soccer at all!
Although when little – she played as well as her older sisters!
She loves to dance in competitions when younger and shows.
Her goal is one day to create fashions and design – produce movies – acting!
All three are like this – beautiful on the inside – smiling on the outside – living life to the good.

Tough mudder or Spartan race!

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!

Walking along the surf – no one in sight – imagining that this is how nature looked centuries ago!
This is a place where the past meets the future –
and we had the pleasure to bring the family
to see – hear and experience it!

From the very moment they pulled in – he asked that question –
PAPA – CAN WE GO ON YOUR HIKE?
To him – a hike is like back home – rocks – hills forest – streams!
I tried to explain to him it is different here –
But PAPA – That is not a hike – we have to go to the mountains!
He is a leader – and always out in front!
This is him to a tee – always staying ahead of the game – his own mind.
We walked a good mile and one half through the woods –
although he was out in front of me or alongside of me –
he never sought to run off –
staying close to me!
We spent the better part of a hour walking the marsh and the woods
I want to come back here in the Summer so we can see more wild life!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
The day we went on our hike –
Bode now understands a hike can be different

At the end of the hike – snacks and a swing – life is good and feeling blessed!
Come back to PAPA’S WORLD! livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
They came to spend a long weekend with us –
seeing where we live and where we are building our new home!
They were so excited – and hiking was on our things to do!
But first you must search for the right shell
then date it and put your name on it!

We had driven past this park dozens of times as we went to golf and also after we bought our lot!
Always saying – we need to stop and check it out –
might be a good place to bring the grand kids as they all
like to hike and explore!
So – we did and then when they came down – we went for a hike –
out through the marsh – into the trees – a sand trail – pathway –
I had a map as it splits off several times!
I guess in the warmer months you will see gators in the marsh!
The little ones are always curious – exploring – seeing and asking questions!
But – they also stay close – ever watchful –
and tend to hang with MorMor!

The first thing they wanted to do was walk the beach!
Now – wouldn’t you know it that it got cold and windy the day they arrived!
It was so warm the day before people were sitting on the beach and wading in the water!
So we pressed on and walked down and onto the beach.
The wind was the culprit – making it very cold.
Even Bode has enough even though he had no shoes on!
We walked to the next beach entrance and exited!
It was a very short walk – but they got to see just how close we are!

And that night after the kids went to bed – we relaxed and watched a playoff game
We are all from Western New York
and were huge fans when Buffalo Bills made their four straight Super Bowls!
