The walls I believe came from rocks on the property as there still are large natural rock outcroppings!

Papa’s World – Continued – the GARDENS OF JAMES WOOD – Winchester, Va.
historic Winchester
Papa’s World – Part one – The gardens of James Wood estate – Winchester, Va.
The mid-1700s found James Wood laying out the boundaries of Winchester, Va.
Sub-divided into lots with streets – and this estate for himself.
Three springs lay on this property and the land had many natural rock formations and loose rocks.
The rocks were used for boundary lines like fences and the others for foundation work.
Note the stone wall behind her – most likely picked up off the ground and used in the construction.
Papa’s World – walking the trails of the Museum of the Shenandoah – Winchester, Va.
This preserve is acres and acres and is by the Shenandoah Museum.
It is full of sculptures and is part of the James Wood homestead.
He was the founder of Winchester in the mid-1700s.

Papa’s World – Christmas 2021 – part 4.
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!

Papa’s World – Christmas Holiday – 2021!
Memories of when they were small and today all grown up!
Two are in college – one is the first year of H.S. All we are hoping to have down with us at the beach.
They would come and spend days with us before we moved – now college and H.S.
Those times are memories of the past – today – and in the future – memories of beach days!
MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS – 2021 – PAPA’S WORLD – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
Papa’s World – hiking the trail with the Myers family – grand daughters!
I love this picture – I told Sherry we need to get it blown up and framed!
And – it all happened in a space of two or thee minutes!
Maddy took her phone – while we all just sort of found a place –
put it up and braced it on a tree limb –
set the timer for 6 seconds and “BOOM”
there it was!
We went back to the new trail – but this time – the whole family went!
This family hikes all the time – that is their form of family time together!
Mike will take the older two – Maddy and Ella – overnight hiking!
He would take Sarah – but she is into more like N.Y.City hiking!
She is the one I think really likes it but has aspirations of one day dancing – acting – fashion –
But once you do get her out there – no boundry is off limits – being the free spirit she is!
We made it a family day hiking – where Debby – Sherry and I had gone the day before!
A new trail within the city limits of Winchester Va.
When it is completed – with all the side trails and loops
you pretty much can get a easy five miles in!
This day was somewhat cool but warm in the Sun!
And we made a day of it as long as we could.
Many volunteers keep this project going
helping to clear out brush
and maintaining the cut area’s!

A DAY HIKING THE TRAIL WITH THE MYERS FAMILY!
Papa’s World – Grand ma’s day out with Daughter and Grand Daughters!
Sherry – who stands 5′ 9″ with our three oldest grand daughters!
Now – Maddy is 5 ‘ 6 ” Ella is pretty close to Sherry and Sarah is 5’ 6 or 7″
Sarah has started to get taller like Ella did – and I think will be taller than Sherry!
Plus – one of the twins – Taylor – well she is 10 and comes up to just under Sherry’s chin!
Must be the SWEDISH heritage coming out!
They all went into town to get their ears pierced again!
All except Debby!
Every time she is with them – laughter prevails!
She showed them how when you put our car on cruise control
The radar activates – and the car will almost steer itself!
She took her hands off and it went around two slight bends in the road
They were amazed and then all burst out laughing
as a message came across the screen in the car
“PUT YOUR HANDS BACK ON THE STEERING WHEEL”!
A trip with grandma – “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS GRANDMA – IS YOU !” says Sarah!
Well maybe a few other things! LOL
Our plan is to spend three days with them – and then head back to Tammy’s
as they have school and jobs.
Then we will all spend Christmas day together at Tammy’s
at least that is the plan now and could change during these trying times.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
