Yet, through the years we have lived our lives to the plus!
Family – friends and now new neighbors for the SIXTH TIME!
Today as SENIORS –
We volunteer!
We do not drink as much –
In fact, very little at all.
That part of our lives is past tense for the most part.
Neither of us smokes – does drugs –
We enjoy the company of friends!
Laughing – exploring and playing games.
Two of my closest friends for decades-
Buck and Jim.
The former – we were long-time neighbors back in WNY!
The latter – we grew up in the same little town in NWPA!
Jim and I played softball together and later golf.
Buck and I and our wives have traveled the World exploring!
Here is Shawn with his wife Trisha and my eldest son Troy!
They still live in the general area where they grew up in the NWPA!
While we live far away –
They have visited us numerous times!
Family is important to us!
Here is Sherry with Bode, Cassidy, and Taylor!
Crossing the sound to Fort Fisher.
The young ones were the hardest to leave, as the oldest were either in college or senior high school.
But all have been to see us and we to see them.
Now the last of the oldest is in college, and the other two graduated from college!
Our life now revolves around Sun, Sand, and Surf.
It has always been our dream.
But – it was the Pandemic that pushed us out of our dream retirement home in Brambleton, Va.
401K dropped, and the housing market went up!
TIME TO LIST AND SELL, AND MOVE ON!
Today, we are here in N.C.
We built this home- she wanted an office –
Me – I wanted a front porch-
WE GOT BOTH!
Now, here we are in July 2024, celebrating both of our 75th birthdays.
On the sands of the beach.
Well into our senior years –
Twenty-plus years ago –
We started on our journey to age as healthily-
As we could into our senior years.
We found a SUPPLEMENT, and it had research that was published that proved it did what it advertised.
Here it is in CAPSULE FORM-
But it also has GUMMIES and LIQUID!
I take the CAPSULES – Sheery drinks the LIQUID and we both use the GUMMIES-
As a substitute for candy!
It is sold WORLDWIDE in TWENTY different countries. (27 to be exact)!

On our walk through – Sherry found the corner had broken off and they had glued it back on!
It had come as far as we could tell – from the vendor shop like that!
It had plastic wrap on it and she could feel the glue on the top.
You can see the crack line and then the amount they were cutting off.
The warranty said they had the right to fix it – either in place or they take it off and back to the shop!
If they took it off – we would be one week before they would come back!
But – there was the problem of dust and chips!
We did not want the house full of all the dust!
When they showed up – I talked to the crew and they assured us they could control the dust and chips.
They were suppose to take it off and do it off site.
All they needed was plastic which they put down – then they discovered they had no more plastic.
Wait a second Sherry says – I have king sized sheets!
“So who you goona call – GHOSTBUSTERS”
I got some bag clips – and they clipped the two sheets together – and the three of them went under the sheets – with a huge vacuum – and they began cutting and grinding!
It worked – king sized sheets – plastic down on the floor – hardly any dust or chips!
They had to cut both corners so they would match.
The crack has been cut off and grinded smooth and polished!
The opposite corner cut – grinded and polished to match!
If we were not happy -we could of made them switch out the counter top –
but all our counters match including the sinks in the bathrooms.
This was a quick fix – ten minutes on each corner!
The cracked corner is gone – we thought it looked great – and hardly any clean up!
So – we once again had great sevice on the repairs we have made a list of.
We avoided all the work of taking the counter top off and risking more damage.
So – “WHO YOU GONNA CALL – GHOSTBUSTERS”!

Sherry found a better way to get nutrition & nutrients
from fruits and vegetables with research to back it up!
Three generations
They started by naming their mother – daughters team
“TEAM GENERATIONS”
From GIGI ( grandmother )
– to Sherry ( mother) to daughters
Tammy and Debby and their children.
Four generations – all on the road to better health.
Ella and SarahBode Taylor Cassidy
The fourth generation – and when they have children – the fifth generation
All because Sherry said “YES” at NBC for your health
at the Washington DC convention center!
The TEAM GENERATIONS TEAM
It continues to grow – families seeking nutrition
better health
feeling great and less doctor visits
More energy
It has spread across the country
and now they communicate with ZOOM calls
and those that live near each other – gather in exercising
There are monthly exercise programs – group fastings
Challenges – and social group gatherings.
Mother and daughter bonding
It has become a FAMILY trip to health.
The oldest in college – practicing health
sending her care packages of healthy foods!
Trips to conferences on the East Coast and West Coast and Middle America twice a yearTeam generations continues to grow one family at a timeLeadership in numbersBefore the pandemic – social gatheringsMaking life fun with healthTeam Generations began with a mother and daughtersToday it has grown into this – leaders from across the country
What started out as a way to eat healthy
and have our kids and grand kids eating better
has turned into a group of dedicated individuals
who share their experience of health and nutrition.
The OLD WAY HAS BEEN REPLACEDTo a whole new life styleDebby Papa Sherry on the way to THE ELTON’S a celebration of recognizing individuals
She is a GOLDENDOODLE – all legs and a cute face that you become attached to!
She is ten weeks old and named Marley – the newest addition to Tammy and Marcus’s family!
They have wanted a dog for years – at least the kids have.
But – I feel deep down – this is Tammy’s Dog! LOL
Marley – she just flops down where ever she is and looks at you with those puppy eyes!
Everyone was gone – kids in school – Tammy and Marcus at work – Sherry meeting friends for lunch and me with Marley – the whole time I had her outside in the fenced in back yard – she would go and hide in the bushes!
Peaking out at me – and when I went over – she thought it a game and would move to another bush!
She really is a sweet puppy – but still a puppy – she has sharp little teeth – and barks really loud!
It was warm outside and she sought out the shade – she would look at me and when I whistled – would come running up to me – licking my legs and hands and wagging her whole body!
But – she is a puppy and like a little child – you have to watch everything she does – chewing – peeing –
It is more challenging than baby sitting! LOL
Marley – under the bush – the other side is a drain spout and wet – she would go there and roll in the mud and dig!
Marley – waiting for me to let her back into the house – she seemed to have had enough for a while!
She wants to go back inside and will lay at the top of the steps and sort of cry!
Then when you go up to her – she gets all excited and licks you as you open the door and inside she goes!

Then the kids came home and it became Taylor and Marley – she has a way with Marley – more so than the other two – making her listen and holding her!
For HEALTH and NUTRITION
Sherry – my wife – is a CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH
( a reason why I am still alive after my heart attack 7 1/2 years ago)
She guides me in nutrition – walking for health – getting all the nutrients for my immune system –
and living life to the plus.
She also is a SSC for the Juice Plus Company –
and owns her own internet marketing business – anywhere from her computer and phone.
A few short years ago – Maddy ( finished Sophomore college) Ella – (enter college in fall) all grown up now!
Maddy has been named to third team in her conference playing soccer – as a Sophomore she was in the top five on her team in four different categories –
Ella – is playing her last soccer for her senior year – undefeated – and aiming for states. She is one of five or six off her team to have signed letters of intent to play in college – she will be attending Randolph College and in the same conference as Maddy.
Ella – Papa – Maddy – it seems like just yesterday – we were the support team for their mother and father and uncle and Tammy and Sherry running the ten mile Cherry Blossom Race in Washington D.C. – where we stationed ourselves to welcome them all across the finish line! Here we are in our front yard before we left for D.C. They were troopers – following me around – standing up on a bench so they could watch the race! Carrying clothes – back packs – water bottles – everything needed for the finish line that day in May.
As the years passed – Sarah came along – the baby little sister – always making the older two laugh.
She has a way about her – always the forefront of fashion.
Wants her grandma to take her to N.Y.C. to see Broadway and shows!
Sarah – Maddy – Ella and Papa – Christmas eve waiting to go to bed – and wake up for Christmas morning!
I miss those special times – all three sitting at the top of the stairs – waiting for their parents to get up – smiling – laughing – such great kids and polite.
Today – we are scattered – us being in S.C. Maddy – coming home from Lynchburg Va.
Ella completing her senior year of H.S. and Sarah about to enter H.S.
Papa with Maddy at one of her early travel team games – she went on to driving herself 65 miles each way for practice three times a week to join a more elite travel team where we lived in Loudoun county , Va. catching the eye of college coaches – now playing at The University Of Lynchburg in Va.
Thinking back to the early years – the smallest one out there with a skill set – determination and quickness. I always thought she should of gone into track as she ran a 5:40 mile and did not train much!
Now – today all three are so tall – athletic – Maddy at 5 ‘ 6″ Ella at 5′ 8 1/2 ” and Sarah almost to 5’ 8″ ( 15 years old soon)
I miss those days of the three little ones – giggling – laughing – on the trampoline – hiking – soccer – dance – running –
being little girls – climbing up into my lap – singing songs as I picked them up!
Today – they are young ladies with their grandma – the little ones are gone but not forgotten – MEMORIES!

PAPA’S WORLD – when they were little – now all grown up!
Papa and Sherry – hugging a tree in Sarasota , Florida – we had considered moving here – but it was just too far to drive for family and friends and for us to go back home without flying.
Then the Pandemic hit and it never came back into the discussion again.
But – I really liked it here and if we came to Florida – this would be my first choice!
I do not remember the name of the garden but it is city center – and a beautiful place to walk!
We were among huge old growth trees – a lot of shade and a sort of tree – boardwalk that wound its way
in and through the tree branches!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – Sarasota Florida in the garden – with a exhibit for Salvadore Dali!

A bright sun rise to a eventful full day of walking – getting ready – visiting the storage unit – and finally – teeing off!Buck on the first tee at 4:40 pm. We were golfing late – Cindy had a lot of stuff to do at work!
So – the plan was made – golf nine – eat dinner and then go home!
We could of stayed with them – but – lugging all the stuff I need – my sleep machine etc. just easier to drive the hour plus drive back to the condo – besides – plenty of more times exist in the future!
Sherry getting ready to tee off on the second hole!
We played our scramble format – Buck and me – they played best ball – WE LOST!
Cindy teeing off – Sherry spotting the ball!
Now – we lost two holes to them – one by one stroke and one by two strokes!
We play even up – and we tied the other seven holes.
But – on the hole we lost by one stroke – we parred – they birdied!
On the one we lost by two strokes – they parred and we four putted – just the way it goes!
Cindy – birdie putt – made it – we parred – they are so good!
We have played this format for years and years – we at one time played couples vs couple – then we played mixed couple vs. mixed couple – but the gals challenged us – the other ways split pretty even – this way – THEY WIN!
My buddy – my partner – golfing together – we did beat them a few weeks ago – but we had to shoot a 39 to beat them!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – my drive – second shot coming up – we four putted – double bogie – LOST!Sherry teeing off – right down the middle – both are that way!

Cindy and Sherry WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER – guys vs gals – the best is yet to come!
Sherry – Cindy and Buck sitting near the dance floor of Fat Harold’s – the first few Shagger’s starting to dance.
We had eaten dinner at HOTO’s ( Harold’s On The Beach) and then walked through the OD Arcade ( Ocean Drive)Seeing all the pictures and people were dancing there already.
Even saw a picture of all people the Pro Golfer Sam Snead who had been there
Within a half hour – it picked up and became more and more crowded with very good dancers!
We then walked over to Fat Harold’s Dance Club!
And found this table beside the wall of mirrors so we could watch the dancing!
Cindy and Buck loved it just as we had when we first came here!
Retirement – one of the benefits – going on eight years for me and nine years for Sherry!
Watching the dance floor of the Shag!
Best friends for 35 years!
Now it was getting really crowed and there is a second dance floor and bar that had the same number of people dancing!

SHERRY- CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH SSC The Juice Plus Company
Here is our before 9:am. early morning walk – a little more crowed but nothing not expected! Looking South to North Myrtle Beach from where we enter the access to the beach.
From the beach access looking toward Cherry Grove – a few more people – but not a lot!
But – this is the beginning of the week for Spring Breakers –
and we noticed traffic getting heavey.
We have found our way around and avoid the high traffic on rte. 17!
We take the side streets as far as we can – and one side street takes up to where we can shop!
Now – in the afternoon we decided to do a couple hours of a beach day – taking and carrying our chairs to the beach. Here is the same view looking toward North Myrtle Beach – a lot more people and a lot of people in the water. But we still had our own space – no one within thirty feet of us!
Here is the same view in the afternoon looking toward Cherry Grove! And – it will get more crowed as Spring turns into Summer with vacations! We are in the open space and avoid large gatherings which happen mostly toward North Myrtle Beach town center. A lot of young H.S. and college students gather on the beach there in a large group. You just avoid them as they will do what they do regardless!
Being here is still our dream – we will come back often as we like it here –
but also where we are moving too – no traffic – country quiet – we can walk –
and still be in access to the other two beaches!
The beach here is very wide – I have been told it is the widest on the Grand Strand!
We had stopped here over the weekend – as we have driven by it hundreds of times!
Two entrances and finally I just turned in and followed the road for about a mile.
And then we were there – EAGLES NEST GOLF COURSE!
What we found out later – was this is the longest course in S.C.
and maybe the longest I have EVER played!
The back tee box – if you play that – the course is over 8200 yards long!
And full of beautiful scenes such as these!
There are many marsh areas such as this – did not see any snakes or gators!
It was more like this most holes!
We were teamed up with a father & son.
We introduced ourselves – we had not planned on playing with anyone.
But – after the first hole awkwardness
It turned into a fun day!
A view down the fairway!
I had watched my wife and how she was hitting.
I noted that she was doing everything right except two things!
I told her to tee her ball up a little back in her stance –
and to always tee it up the same height.
She was coming over the top on her ball – still hitting it good but not as far as she has.
This green – she hit the cart path – this hole for her was 299 yards – after I adjusted her stance and tee height – she ripped one down the right side and it hit the cart path and followed it toward the green – we searched and searched where we thought it had gone – the two guys we were with found it! It was laying just off the green on this side along the cart path. It had gone 299 yards!
And – I might add – she beat me by FIVE STROKES on the front nine!
So much for me showing her what to do! LOL!
After I showed her the adjustment – with her ladies tee – she was out driving the rest of us!
And she continued her good play – she also beat me the second nine!
Just a word to our friends – Cindy and Buck – the ladies have to give us strokes from now on! LOL
They are just too darn good!

Before I showed her a new stance – moving the ball back and then letting her swing take it!
I did not get a picture after – I was too busy trying to keep up with her shots! LOL
Every Sunday we go to Cameron Woods where our new home is being built – no one is working on Sunday so we can look it over outside and inside – and our builder calls us each Monday to give us a update. That way we can ask questions if we see something and get answers without meeting in person.
Here is the front – siding in entrance way is done – roof shingles done – back and side siding half done.
The right side of the house – back to front – breakfast nook – kitchen – window laundry room and then the garage.
At the rear will be the covered – screened in lanai.
The covered – screened in Lanai with the back door and then the open patio. To the right is the breakfast nook and kitchen – all windows.
To the right – covered Lanai – open Patio and windows of the sun room – then the master bedroom.
The rear – Master bedroom and going to the front – master bath – bedroom 2 and then bath two and then bedroom 1.
They have told us we still are looking at early June for closing!
Keeping fingers crossed!
We are in the condo until end of June – we have a storage unit 3 miles from the new build.
If needed – friends have offered us a place to stay.

Sherry – CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH SSC for THE JUICE PLUS COMPANY
The view from the top deck and bar of Snooky’s on the beach – the other Snooky’s is situated on the ICW!
We decided after our attempt to walk the beach –
which was very windy and cold –
to drive back down the Ocean Blvd to Snooky’s!
Sherry and I brought Tammy and the little ones here when they visited.
Sarah and Debby at the table surrounded by heaters!
It was chilly out on the open patio.
We choose this because of the heaters and wanting to be out in the open
for social distancing.
Every other table was empty!
This was the last full day they would be here!
The four days have gone by so quickly.
We packed a lot into it – Mike is a teacher and could not come down.
Maddy is in college with her classes and in the middle of Spring Soccer.
Ella a senior in H.S. Debby – oldest daughter Sarah – youngest of the three – in 8 th. grade
We sat out there on the patio – when I heard Sherry exclaim ‘ THERE HE IS” pointing toward the beach!
She had read a article in the newspaper and seen the interview on TV.
A man who was dressing up as DARTH VADER in Myrtle Beach and walking up and down the beach
entertaining the children – with his Laser –
And he happened to be right here!
Sherry and Ella
Now Ella is a huge – huge Star Wars fan!
For her 16th. birthday as a present – we took her to Florida with us for a week.
And the highlight of that trip was her going to the STAR WARS park.
That was what she wanted to do forever!
DARTH VADER about to walk out on the beach!
So – they both got up – Sherry and Ella – and down the deck they went!
I went up on the top deck so I could get a clear picture of what was going on the beach!
Here Sherry and Ella are nearing DARTH VADER who is Laser fighting with a young boy!
She has Star Wars figurines from her youth – ever since she could walk and talk.
She has seen every movie – over and over again.
Ella and DARTH VADER!
This was one of her highlights of the entire trip to visit us at the beach!
And it was all by chance – we wanted lunch – we selected Snooky’s because it was close
And we knew they had heaters outside!

Sherry is a Certified Health Coach and a Senior Sales Coordinator for The Juice Plus Company
Which has been in business for almost 50 years!
Currently sold in over 20 countries.
Sherry – wife of Papa – for almost 8 years guiding me through my heart attack and four by passes – with health and nutrition – she has given me every day since – I am grateful – and will listen to her every day I have left.
Our new home being built in Cameron Woods – Ocean Isle Beach – Brunswick County – N.C.
As you can see – the garage has a entrance directly into the hallway and laundry room!
Our life has evolved – from NVA to S.C. and eventually N.C.
All in the span of some nine months!
Where has the time gone – and when did those 40 years fly by?
We started dating in early 1981 – married in June of 1982 –
and today – building a house!
The garage with Sherry looking into the laundry room and the kitchen straight down the hall.
The garage has a overhead storage area with pull down steps.
The three entrance doors are leaning against the walls.
There is a pipe coming up out of the cement floor that I have no idea what it is for!
We are hoping to be in by early June!
We have a storage unit nearby and have our belongings in there.
The beginnings of the kitchen – island and the breakfast nook – bump out window and beyond the covered over windows – the screened in covered lanai!
The walls have been coated on the bottom with a termite barrier!
The floor plates are bolted down into the cement
and metal corner braces to code for hurricanes installed!
Solid construction to N.C. building codes.
The vaulted living room and the extended sun room and to the right – the master bedroom and bath and closet.Sherry inspecting our office – where we will do our home based internet business – http://www.sf.juiceplus.com – which will have french doors – and beyond her is the hall and laundry room and to the right the kitchen.
It was exciting to tour on a Sunday with no one around!
The spare bath – just across the hallway of the office and to the left and right will be two bedrooms.
This is the third house that we have had built – most likely our last – both of us will be 72 !
If you wish to see more of the build – visit my previous blog
Where did the time go?
It has the pictures of the rest of the house!

Sherry and our family – the Winchester Va. family!
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!
When they were little – Sarah – Maddy – Ella with their father and mother.
All three love their Grandma – laughing with her and at her!
She loves to take them shopping – getting nails done and ear piercings! Here – Sherry – Sarah – 14 years old – Maddy – 20 years old – Ella – 17 years old – Sherry is 5′ 9″ tall – they all are tall!
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!
Mike Debby Ella
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!
Maddy Ella Sherry Sarah
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.

There is a place – next to the ICW – in Vereen Memorial Park – where you find a shell – date it and your name – hang it from a tree – and then make a wish – hundreds of the hang and this one is from our Taylor!
At ten years old – she already is five foot tall – she will someday be taller I think than her MorMor( Sherry) who is 5′ 9″ must be the Swede coming through!
I am little – some day I will be bigger – so she says – but every day she either calls or texts her MorMor ( Sherry ) and that sweet little soft voice – “I love you MorMor ” here she hangs her wish!
Cassidy showing her shell for a wish! I think she looks just like Taylor in this picture!
Bode – hanging his seashell wish – the only boy out of six grand children!
I have said – Cassidy and Bode should of been the twins – they are two peas in a pod!
Bode Taylor Cassidy
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!
We had told them there was a place to make a wish and hang the shells from a tree!
But first you must search for the right shell
then date it and put your name on it!
MorMor – leading Taylor – Cassidy and Bode on a search for their own perfect sea shell!
MorMor(Sherry) inspecting each one as they bring them to her!

“How would you like to live here for a while” ?
It took maybe one minute to decide – this is where we will go until we find another place!
We have now been here – at this time of writing – early January – some 13 weeks!
And – expecting our house to be done – the end of June!
But – that view is not all – we can walk to this every day!
The other reason is the walk to the beach –
a little over 1/2 mile and we are standing here.
Although the clouds roll in and out –
very few times have we not been able to walk with rain ruining it!
Plus – we are so close to other trails – nature – we can explore.
We are building a house – in the long run – it was about the same as buying one already built!
In our price range.
And – we will still be close to this – one half hour away!
The area we choose is in N.C. 15 miles away.
There we are close to two other beaches!
Ocean Isle Beach ( which is the address) and Sunset Beach.
Both about 4 and 6 miles away!
Although we will not see this on our walks – we will have a entirely different view.
The skies here are wonderful – different each day – I always notice skies where ever we are!
Just above the fountain – two black dots – the SWANS have returned – they come and go!Looking back toward the beach entrance – and .66 miles away – our rented condo!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY
The wonder of the surf while working her business by phone! http://www.sf.juiceplus.com from anywhere in 21 countries!
FAMILY MEETS FRIENDS!
The skies of North Myrtle Beach – where we live-walk!
It is with in mind – I record our lives one day at a time –
hence my blog: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
In a little over one year – thanks to my wife Sherry –
I now have a following of 362 plus followers!
Of which I only know four of them!
The rest are from all over the USA and the WORLD!
Screen shot on a normal day – I never though this would happen – but I guess projecting good thoughts – happy family life and adventures of two 70 plus year old’s must appeal to people!
Sherry and Papa – (Tom) living our life one day at a time. Each day I am alive is a blessing! I do not take it for granted.
Sherry is the driving force behind my blog –
” YOU HAVE TO WRITE AND PUT IT SOMEWHERE – A PLACE WE CAN FIND – WHEN YOU ARE GONE”
That is the reality and I am okay with it!
I write for family – I write to record for future generations so they know who I was!
Each day I open the site – answer the comments and push on!
I include lots of pictures – they all tell a story.
Each day I start out not knowing what I will write about
I see a picture I have taken – a event we did – or where a day has taken us.
Then – I start – so far I have scheduled a month ahead in stories –
That way – is we are going someplace – all I have to do is share it to face book!
On here – it is automatically scheduled!
My hope and desire is to bring inner peace to those that read this – and to see – when adversity hits home – when death knocks on your door – there is a life beyond and each day is a blessing – one that had it gone the other way – well – I am happy it didn’t – and that is going to be my legacy – living life doing it my way – blog!
Sherry walking the historic section of Conway S.C.
We like to explore and I love old towns and history of the area!
We had completed the River Walk and then headed onto main street.
This being Sunday – there were no stores open!
Which surprised me as there were lots of people on the River Walk.
A cool little garden and fountain just off main street!I assume this mural has a part of the history of this town!
Walking – taking in the sites – and then we both noticed just how many old
historic churches were here!
Maybe that is the reason for stores being closed on Sunday?
This church was too big to get in one photo – and had been built in the 1800’s!The first view you get of this church walking up to it – the previous picture was the center of the church!The right side of the church – this church took up almost the entire block!
We also looked at the first church that was built here
Thinking that the people had outgrown it!
The first church built in the early 1800’s!
A beautiful stain glassed window!
Thsi was a very solid built building
but I think it ended up being too small
So they constructed the second church!
I want to go back and spend more time reading the grave stones!
We also walked by one other large church that sat on the river-
and had drive up docks for boats
and signs for people who came to church using the River!
We did a job that Sherry has been wanting to do – wash the walls of the Lanai down by hand!
The Lanai is screened in and has a vinyl siding – which with storms – gets dirty.
So – with soap and water and some cloths – we cleaned it all down
Took us about two hours –
and then we treated ourselves to BEACH TIME!
A few people were out – being this was the middle of the week. It was in the low to mid 70’s!Looking South on North Myrtle Beach – we decided to walk North – toward the pier two miles away!
This day – we did not spend all the time sitting – but walking for most of it!
We walked to the pier two miles away!
We try to walk three miles a day – and as much of that we can on the beach!
Sherry – while walking – will do her network marketing business with her phone!
This has always been a dream of mine – walking in the sand and surf every day!
Always a view in the sky – dark clouds contrasting with white – and then blue skies – and sunshine!
We had never walked all the way to Cherry Grove – point pier –
And – along the way we collected shells for a church group back home!
Beyond the tall buildings – just visible – is the pier – so you can see just how far we walked!Tidal pools forming behind me as I walked through the surf. The water felt warm – and some pools we had to walk around as they were above our knees!
This day – just to walk was relaxing – cleaning the Lanai –
I first met Jim some years back – his wife Claudia is a close friend of my wife Sherry!
Jim is a very large man – standing 6’5 ” of taller!
He loves to cook and always was making BBQ for his employees!
Claudia was interested in what Sherry was doing for her health.
Then – Jim became interested.
He sent me this email – I had no idea he was writing it.
It is such a story of health and a journey for a individual
who one day said enough is enough!
IN HIS OWN WORDS – JIM MARTIN!
My name is Jim Martin, and I am 65 years old. I live in Reston, Virginia, I still maintain a full-time job.
Heaviest Weight: 350 pounds
Current Weight: 260 pounds
I struggled with my weight my entire adult life. It led to binge eating and weight gain. Before trying Juice Plus, I had done yo-yo diets my whole life. My weight has gone up and down 50 to 80 pounds over the years, but nothing ever stuck.
Before Juice Plus, a typical day consisted of a lack of sleeping of no more that 4 to 5 hours a night and grabbing either a breakfast burrito with an apple juice or a chicken biscuit from a drive thru. I would go to work at my incredibly stressful sales job from 7:30-4:30 and get little to no movement at work. I would always eat out for lunch and pick very unhealthy options—sometimes I would even get dessert (cookies) with lunch! After work I would come home and eat dinner around 6:30 pm and sit on the couch until it was time for bed. Before bed, I would usually have ice cream or another dessert. Sometimes I would wake up and get a “midnight snack.” I was literally eating around the clock.
The first time I heard about Juice Plus was almost a year ago. I was not into fitness at the time, but back then I thought Juice Plus would help me lose weight and promote a good immune system. However, after years of putting on weight, I started learning more about it and decided I wanted to give it a try and joined the “Shred Your Way” Facebook group.
My turning point came on January 6, 2020 with the “Shred Your Way” Sugar Shred Challenge, No sugar for 10 days. As a result of completing this challenge, I have completely removed sugar from my diet for the past 11 months. I have no sugar cravings or desire to eat sweets as I did in the past. This all happened two months prior to the COVID lockdown and I was stress eating like crazy. It was a Monday morning and I stepped on the scale that I had been avoiding for months. After I read it, I just said, “That’s enough.” Something had to change.
My goal when I started this journey was to be in better shape than I was when I was 45. Back then, I was 260 pounds and less than 20% bodyfat. From the start of this journey to get healthy, I told myself that I wanted to be in better shape in the next year than I was in the last.
I found that adding Fasting, Healthy eating and Walking to my journey
I loved it so much, I added the Fasting (Zero Fast), Food Monitoring (MyFitnessPal) and Walking (Fitbit) apps to help me stay on track. It has been a huge help in my journey. Tracking the fast, steps, and foods It helps me to see trends, and with that I can make adjustments. I love being able to look back and see how I have done. The Shred Your Way Facebook group has also been a great source of motivation.
I currently follow a 16:8 fasting schedule, walking 8 to 10 miles a day, and eating about 1500 to 1800 calories a day, while trying to keep it flexible. Most days I end up following 17:7 Fasting, 25,000 steps and 1600 calories. I change my fasting times to suit my lifestyle. If I want to go out and have a big dinner with my wife, I will just do a longer fast leading up to it, so I stay in a deficit. And some days when I am hungry, I will break my fast at 13-14 hours (minimum of 13 hours to be considered fasting). I listen to my body and hunger signals. That is what I love about intermittent fasting—it is all about flexibility.
The first few mornings I started fasting I was so hungry, but honestly by the second week my body had adapted well. That is part of the reason I have been able to do this so long (coming up on 7 months). It is not a struggle for me to follow the plan.
Aside from the weight loss, fasting gives me freedom from food, walking gives me the movement I need and Juice Plus give me a healthy immune system. I no longer feel like food is my source of comfort. I can focus my thoughts and feelings more. I also did change my overall diet. I discovered tons of extremely healthy choices. However, that is another writing exercise.
Here is what I typically eat in a day:
Breakfast: Black coffee, breakfast cereal (Ezekiel or Sola brands, no/exceptionally low sugar) blueberries, raspberries, almond milk, and chia seeds.
Lunch: Arnold whole wheat bread or a Mission brand low carb whole wheat wrap, turkey or ham, mustard, lettuce., tomato and Kettle Brand avocado and Himalaya salt potato chips.
Dinner: Taco Bowl (steak, brown rice, pinto beans, salsa, cheese,) Kevin Brand Chicken entrees with steam veggies.
Snacks: Mixed nuts or, protein shake (1G or less sugar) or apple or protein bar (2G or less sugar)
Dessert: 1oz70% Dark Chocolate
I feel completely different now that I added fasting and walking to my Juice Plus daily routine. I no longer have a need to eat wasteful and harmful foods like sugar. Before, I would always eat a huge lunch and then be worthless for hours afterwards. Now, I experience the mental clarity that comes from eating the right foods, fasting, and walking. I am tracking all my calories in MyFitnessPal because I wanted to stay in a deficit, which was key for weight loss. I aim to eat 1,800 calories each day. I walk 7 days a week. It has been great.
These three changes contributed the most to my weight loss success.
Change 1: I gave myself more than a year to reach my goal.
By taking a longer-view approach, I do not get discouraged by little missteps. I still have plenty of time to reach my goal. When you set a short timeframe to reach your goal, you can get discouraged if it does not happen “fast” enough.
Change 2: I focused on healthy eating at first. I’ve done diets before, and when you change everything in the first week, you drain yourself of willpower and end up falling off the wagon. I just focused on finding healthy food choices that minimize or eliminate SUGAR. SUGAR is the killer of any plan that includes weight loss or a good immune system.
Change 3: I do not get discourage… focus on the big picture
Life happens, and if I get down on myself for being human, that is not going to help me in the future. So instead, I give myself grace and understand this will happen. I acknowledge it and move on instead of making myself feel like a failure. I could barely walk a mile without resting, now I can complete a 10K in less that two hours. It takes one step at a time.
I hope my successful journey can help other archive the life changing experience this has been for me. I think the most rewarding part about making this change has been the mental clarity and focus that comes in the last few hours before breaking a fast. I do not feel mentally drained. But the weight loss has made the biggest difference. It is going to allow me to live an active life well into old age. If I had continued putting on weight, I would have been in extremely poor health within the next five years. But now I feel strong, and I do not feel deprived.
The new Jim Martin – at 260 lbs.
As a side note – Claudia Martin has literally folllowed in Jim’s footsteps.
Looking North on Sunset BeachLooking South on Sunset Beach
This beach a few years ago –
was voted one of the top beaches in the country.
And – judging by the number of people here
in the off season – I can see why.
This entrance had bathrooms – water to wash off
and looked really inviting.
Selfie at SUNSET BEACH!
But since this was a day trip
we only stopped to check it out
parking in the Summer might be a problem as well as traffic!
Time to reflect – time to look around – our dream is real!
On to our next beach destination
OCEAN ISLES BEACH N.C.
This area is a target of where we might end up!
It is only 40 minutes to our friends house in Magnolia Greens
and right in the heart of so many fine golf courses!
Plus in 30 minutes or less
we are right back in North Myrtle Beach!
Over the causeway to Ocean Isles Beach
largely a residential beach
buy what you want BEFORE you cross the causeway!
But – I like this area better than Sunset Beach!
Looking North along the beach
no where as crowded in the off season as Sunset Beach!
Looking South along the beach
and the sand is not hot on your feet!
There might also be a problem in parking as I noticed few lots
but parking was encouraged to park off the road
but alongside of the road.
Public access was plentiful but not as nice as
Sunset beach – just paths between houses.
A cup of coffee – sitting on the beach
we will return here as it is peaceful
no high buildings
Bathrooms might be a problem!
Our early morning walk on North Myrtle Beach!
If we could find a place here – we would.
It is that nice.
We continue to look –
Rising early to see the sun
And then the beginning of our three mile walk on the beach
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
Someday soon we will make a moonlit visit to the beach!

But ” UNTIL WE MEET UP AGAIN”TEAM GENERATIONS ( MAMA BIRD)UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN – A MEMORY FROM THE TEAM FOR ” MAMA BIRD “!
The concept of Team Generations came 13 years ago –
That is when Sherry introduced Juice Plus to our daughters.
Tammy and the twins Juice Plus babies
First was Tammy – who attended our first in house education
on Health and Nutrition with Pamela Sue –
one of two of our mentors – Sari being the other.
Pam is from the Big Island , HI.
Sari is from Atlanta Ga.
OMEGA’S GARDEN VINEYARD GARDEN The four staples of Plant Based Nutrition Tested FIVE times for pesticides From growers monitored by the JUICE PLUS COMPANY Now over 36 published researches in Medical Journals Tested by major institutions all over the World
Tammy was always first and foremost a healthy eater
Shunning fast food – eating Natural and Organic.
She caught on right away and signed up
as both a customer and a partner in the
Juice Plus Company.
Today – all three children are Juice Plus babies
meaning in the womb – she took the Juice Plus
Thus the babies absorbed all that nutrition the whole time !
Tammy Taylor left Cassidy right
They were born early by choice – as Taylor was taking all the fluid
She was growing while Cassidy was not
So at 32 to 33 weeks –
they came into the World
They were small – barely over two pounds with Taylor 13 oz.more !
But – there were no problems – they were perfectly healthy
and today continue as Taylor being bigger
Cassidy is normal size
But I think Taylor is going to be like her MORMOR ( Sherry ) 5 ‘ 10 !!!
Debby ( eldest ) Sherry She was suppose to be there but her youngest became ill and she had to turn around and go back home
Debby was sad – she had missed the education
But in talking to Tammy and Sherry –
She just knew what a opportunity she had
in helping her entire family getting healthy.
They had so many doctor visits
being ill all the time
That had all changed in the first six months
they started the Juice Plus road to health.
Today – all three daughters and her husband & herself
Zero times to the doctor in the past 11 years for sickness
Taylor ( 9) & Sherry Taylor is going to be tall like her MORMOR Swedish for Mother’s Mother
Today – Tammy is a Sales Coordinator –
while Debby is A QMND
Qualified National Marketing Director
Sherry is a Senior Sales Coordinator
All are living their dreams
Debby has passed her mother and is almost to the top as a NMD !
Debby has worked from home the last 11 years
Running her Juice Plus Business
While Sherry worked part time –
Debby did full time.
Sherry has retired early
and is full time in the Juice Plus Business
All three run the JPB from home.
No overhead
No inventory
And travel the Country every six months together
Promoting healthy change for family’s.
All this for a yearly fee of $50.00
You send in the order on your own website ( part of the fee)
The JP company packages-ships and collects the $$
from the customer and pays you a commission
and deposits it monthly into your own bank account.
Tammy has opened a second business
A high end Kids Consignment shop
while still running her Juice Plus Business
Today Sherry leads the team –
Called TEAM GENERATIONS
Named so that it stands for Mothers – Daughters – grandchildren – great grand children.
As each Generation arrives
It is with the knowledge of adding insurance
in living healthy – as best we can.
With the research – we know we are on the right track.
