Papa’s World – Great thoughts and Positive writing!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Sunset Beach – N.C.

A walk South on the beach for 1 1/2 miles brings you to THE KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX!

It is a spot with ocean views, and you turn around –

The sand dunes and marshes, and the coastline!

Inside the mailbox is a journal –

Which is replaced all the time as it gets filled up!

You are free to write your thoughts!

A peaceful setting –

A stroll along the surf –

Quiet – the sound of waves and birds!

A positive thought for one to just sit back on the bench and reflect!

THE KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX!

LOL – I know this to be true!

But – I also know –

I CAN LOSE A GOLF BALL ANYWHERE! LOL

FAMILY and FRIENDS!

Very important in our day-to-day lives.

We built this home with that in mind!

Room for all to visit.

Our lives have revolved all these years –

Around this premise!

A POSITIVE IN OUR LIVES!

My youngest son in H.S. –

Upper left corner!

Today,

He owns his own Auditing and Insulation business –

With contracts with major power companies and the state of Pennsylvania.

This is done for the savings and heating for the elderly –

Esp –

In cold weather.

Very proud of this young man –

Shawn Fitzsimmons!

Over twenty years ago –

After much research ( over forty published in Journals)

We selected this supplement-

To be our choice-

To age healthily into our senior years!

Soon after,

We became partners and started our own business-

With a website.

Twenty years later –

It helps us both in health –

And with income in retirement.

For answers – research –

Or become a partner yourself and save money!

A POSITIVE IN OUR LIVES!

Entrance to our community!

We live on the borders of S.C. and N.C.

Four seasons –

But for the most part,

Out of the ice and snow.

Near the beach –

Entertainment and a host of medical facilities!

A day’s drive back to NVA to see family!

A long drive back –

For more family in Pa.

But a big POSITIVE in our lives!

Thanks for reading my blogs!

From us to you –

Happy reading!

Papa- Sherry – Cindy and Buck!

At MGM in National Harbor, Washington, D.C.

For 21 years, we lived in NVA!

Country life of WNY –

To the busy life of the beltway around D.C.

I once got lost and had to find my way –

No GPS then! LOL

And if you know me, my sense of direction –

Well, it leaves a bit to LUCK!

We were sort of guides for family and friends during those 21 years.

Cocerts – festivals and the ROLLING THUNDER motorcycles!

LOOKING TO THE PAST – FUN TIMES!

This was our “FOREVER” home in Brambleton, VA for retirement.

Two-story – 3200 S.F.

Corner lot in a horseshoe shape.

A 440 sf. enclosed courtyard slated patio.

Two-car garage – but that all changed in 2020.

The PANDEMIC hit, and the 401 (k) took major hits!

However, this home increased to the point we just said we need to cash out and move.

WE SOLD –

Stayed with family for two months and moved to North Myrtle Beach.

Still within a day’s car drive back to NVA and family!

This era of our life closed one chapter and began another!

LOOKING TO THE PAST- FUN TIMES!

MOUNT NEBO LUTHERAN CHURCH!

An eight-sided church built in the 1800s by Swedish immigrants –

In Mount Jewett, Pa., where Sherry was raised.

Her family is buried here.

To this day –

On special occasions –

Church services are held here.

The inside is still as it was,

Back in the 1800s.

History – ancestors lead us to her Swedish heritage.

LOOKING TO THE PAST- FUN TIMES!

Pam – Sherry and Bob.

Bob and I went to grade school and high school together.

Many memories of childhood growing up in a little town in WPA near the WNY border.

Still friends all these years later.

They are here renting for a year to decide where they want to end up after six years in an RV.

FREIENDSHIP – leads to – LOOKING TO THE PAST- FUN TIMES!

Marcus – Taylor and Tammy – first homecoming with Taylor.

Marcus – Cassidy and Tammy – first homecoming with Cassidy!

Taylor and Cassidy are fraternal twins.

Freshman in H.S.

Creating more memories –

From the two little girls-

To growing up-

Here with their mother –

Sherry serving Communion at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

This was part of our LIFE in NVA. from 1999 to 2020 –

When the Pandemic hit –

And we decided to sell our home and move South!

Christmas at our home in Brambleton, VA.

For fourteen and a half years we lived here!

This was to be our forever home in retirement.

But LIFE goes on.

Opportunity came in the value of the home going up –

The 401K is going down!

TIME TO SELL AND MOVE ON – LIFE!

FAMILY – our four oldest granddaughters!

On the street in front of our new home in Cameron Woods Community!

As the sunsets on this day –

They enjoyed running down the hill –

LIFE is good!

FAMILY is priceless!

The youngest grandchildren and their parents.

Moving South meant that we lived 6 to 8 hours away.

This allowed us to drive back –

And FAMILY to come on down and still be a part of our lives!

FAMILY IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE CENTER OF OUR LIVES!

SMILES – HUMOR and LAUGHTER- START YOUR DAY – LOL!

FRIENDS have always been a major part of our married life together!

At National Harbor- Washington, DC.

Maintaining friendships and expanding to new friends!

In our new Cameron Woods Community –

NEIGHBORS and NEW FRIENDS –

Play an important segment of our life together!

This is just how we are wired!

Longtime FRIENDS – NEW FRIENDS-

Keeping in touch.

Our home is a welcome place for us to keep these friendships alive!

FRIENDS ARE OUR LIFE CYCLE!

Our friends span generations-

Mothers and daughters!

LIFE IS GOOD!

FRIENDS!

THE GOOD WITCH- SHERRY and JUST PAPA!

Papa’s World – The Old Man!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Here I am – closer to 80 than 70!

My life has had its share of ups and downs.

Early childhood growing up in a little town where everyone knew your name (AND PARENTS)!

Roller skating – riding my bike!

Playing kick the can –

Being home when the street lights came on!

Sneaking corn silk in a corn cob pipe!

Apple trees providing ammunition for passing rail cars full of coal!

Neighborhood kids – playing tackle football at the park!

Yes – I had a good early life!

Senior year – played the first game of football and then was in a car accident.

It was the year that “NAM” was on everyone’s mind.

1966!

I spent 51 days in the hospital – 41 days with a catheter.

I did not know if I would ever walk again.

My girlfriend was pregnant- I was married at 17 in a wheelchair!

In the living room of my parents’ home.

My first son was born in January of 1967!

I was learning to walk again.

Months went by – a wheelchair turned to crutches.

I was reclassified for the draft-

Married, child, and unable to pass the physical.

I was young, growing up fast!

I had to graduate, find a job to support my family, and there was no college option.

Meanwhile, I had a cane.

I managed to walk for graduation.

One week later, I was hired at the American Olean Tile company!

They took a chance on me –

Mainly because my wife’s mother worked there!

They hired me for the summer.

I had a family!

NAM was no longer a worry, but surviving was.

At the close of summer –

I lived just down the street from this museum!

They decided to keep me on and put me on second shift!

I would get ten hours of overtime every week!

My father, who was part-owner of the Western Auto –

Had retired from the South Penn Oil Company-

Managed to get me an apartment over the store to rent.

We moved from their home in September to the apartment and lived there for five years!

About six months before the ’72 flood –

We bought a church and parsonage!

The Methodist church on North Main Street in Eldred,Pa.

Just a stones throw from where I grew up!

In December of ’71 –

My second son was born –

We had moved into the house and had started converting the church into apartments.

My father had passed away in 1969 from cancer-

My mother was raising my younger brother –

And in June of 1972 –

Hurrican Agnes –

The main street was flooded with 12 to 15 feet of water –

The apartment where we had been living –

Well – it was a mass of flood waters in front and only way in or out was by boat!

We had ducked a bullet.

We worked tirelessly helping those in need.

We had to get baby formula by helicopter flown in until that was impossble!

I never went back to work for three or four weeks.

But – after the darkness –

We saw the light –

We survived.

Two sons – one five and the other about seven months,

Life was going on –

And was about to go on first shift after six and one half years on second!

Life went on –

But the marriage didn’t.

We sperated and divorced.

The boys were 13 and 9!

I continued to work for AOTC –

For a total of 47 1/2 years.

I found and married my current wife Sherry –

On 6-25-1982!

She had been married before and had two daughters.

I was their step day but they were like daughters to me.

They were younger than my two sons –

We had a family of four –

But the boys lived with their mother and the girls lived with us.

Sherry also worked for AOTC and retired with 32 years!

The Comapny later became –

DAL-TILE and Ameiracn Olean Tile Company –

Owned when we retired by Mohawk!

We had a combined 79 1/2 years of service.

We raised the children and we bought and built a combination of six houses!

Cindy – Dottie – Sherry – Buck and Jimmy –

Dottie and Jimmy have been my dear friends before I met Sherry.

Buck and Cindy knew them and were our neighbors while we lived at –

Pleasant Acres Drive in Portville, N.Y.

Dottie from whe I knew Jimmy and her –

And I attended their wedding.

On our journey through life –

Twenty years ago –

We started a health and nutrition business on line.

To this day-

We still run this business that provides us with additional income in retirement.

If this interests you –

You can contact us through this website –

https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

It is $50.00 a year to have your own business –

Your own website and all you do is send the orders in or they do it themselves over the website!

They process the order – Bill it – collect it and ship it!

Monthly you get a paid commission –

And they direct deposit it into your account!

And you help people to get a healthy nutrition of –

FRUITS – VEGETABLES – BERRIES and OMEGAS!

The GOOD WITCH and the OLD MAN!

I hope this gives some insight into my life.

It has had ups and downs-

But –

I have lived a good life.

I am happy,

And all the good and bad has given to me,

That life I have lived!

The life we have had –

Plus the friends and their daughters and Sherry’s daughters!

Dottie – Cindy and Sherry –

In front of our home in Brambleton, VA.

All from WNY and NWPA.

Cindy was our neighbor on Pleasant Acres Drive in Portville, N.Y.

Dottie grew up in the town I did and knew Cindy.

So, they have known each other for decades and decades.

We try to get together 2 or 3 times a year.

Now,

All of us are retired.

And we all live in the state of N.C.

Dottie in the Northern part of the state,

and Cindy and Buck are bout 38 miles from us –

We live in OIB, and they are just outside Leland and in Magnolia Greens!

The POSITIVES- still friends after all these years and enjoying the company,

Of each other!

All six grandkids!

Bode is the only boy!

Playing a card game –

Bode – and to the right-

Sarah – Cassidy – Taylor – Maddy and Ella.

POSITIVE – as you can see here,

They all get along! COUSINS!

Since grade school and through high school –

I have had a friendship with Bob.

After six years of RVING-

Coast to coast and North to South-

They decided to try a year in our area.

They leased a home –

Put the RV in storage close by,

And now live nine miles away.

We are showing them the area.

While it is not Florida, Maine, or Arizona-

It offers four seasons-

Almost free of snow and ice-

A lot of golfing opportunities.

And number one on their bucket list –

THE BEACH ACCESS!

A POSITIVE FOR THEM WHILE MAKING A DECISION!

Bode – the only grandson from Sherry’s side of the family!

He is going to be tall – Like Sherry – Ella and Sarah –

All 5’10 or more!

Bode is very athletic.

He plays – field hockey- flag football – golf – basketball –

Soccer – ice skates –

Basketball and baseball.

So – while he still is in grade school-

He will eventually select a sport in which he will excel!

A POSITIVE AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE!

LOL – SO MUCH TRUTH IN THIS FOR ME!

Maddy – adoring her grandmother and little(Tiny as I called her) Ella.

This photo of the two oldest grandchildren –

And their grandmother-

Sherry –

It is both PRICELESS and POSITIVE in the relationship that continues to this day!

A very BIG POSITIVE for Sherry and me for TWENTY YEARS!

We read the research and published health and nutrition articles-

And decided this is what we would take as a supplement into our SENIOR YEARS!

We have never missed a day in those years gone by!

Papa’s World- Early Mornings – my world!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Welcome to MY WORLD!

I have always been a morning person.

Waking up before 5am. – just automatic – even when I worked the afternoon shift!

As a supervisor, I sometimes had to work all three shifts one time or another!

I did not like the overnight shifts because I couldn’t sleep.

Going back to my childhood –

After my older brother (ten years) –

Moved out – I moved into his front-of-the-house bedroom.

This was facing East,

And the bright sunlight came in through the double windows!

Most times,

I would already be awake!

My early mornings have continued to this day.

That is when I write my blogs!

I sip my one cup of extra-large coffee each morning.

First, I read the online Washington Post –

Every morning!

I check my emails and messages.

I also check my blog site.

The morning is golden for me.

I also like sunsets –

Over the marsh.

I am not a night owl –

When I am tired –

It is time to go to bed!

I find that if I do not do this-

I will acquire a second wind, so to speak-

And then I am awake well into the night!

BUT- I still wake up before five AM.

I am grateful for the beginnings of each and every day!

Life is short –

Seems like only yesterday I was in childhood!

So I make the most of each and every day.

While working during my adult life-

I hardly had time to relax.

Today, as a stress relief-

I make sure I have quiet time!

I have that time in the mornings!

When we go on trips-

Since I am the morning person-

I drive first –

I drive between three and four hours before stopping!

Then it is time for a bathroom break –

Pump the gas and switch drivers.

I do a power nap and after a couple of hours –

Resume the drive!

This works for us –

And usually we pack a snack!

We also have been into healthy living for over twenty years!

Our goal is to age as healthily as we can –

Into and living day to day as seniors in our old age.

With research –

And reading the gold standard published studies-

This is what we found and started to incorporate –

Into our daily lifestyle.

On our 75th. birthdays in 2024!

If interested –

Go to Sherry’s website!

https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

We will always take this supplement.

Yes- I live my life one day at a time!

If you ever go through a life-changing event-

You will see my perspective.

My heart attack showed me just how quickly –

Your life can change or end.

You think it will not happen to me!

But – when it does –

Your outlook also changes.

Simply put –

You become aware of everything around you!

Life to me became simple-

ENJOY EACH DAY AS IT MAY BE YOUR LAST!

Family is and always-

Has been our focus in life.

While great distance separates us-

They are always on our minds!

Here are my sons and their families.

Living to see them again one day at a time.

After 47 1/2 years –

I RETIRED!

All with the same company!

I was dedicated –

Rarely did I miss work –

I used vacation days when I was ill.

After all that time –

I had a five-week vacation.
I planned to use 1/2 day to go home and do the yard work.

It was my peaceful time-

Just me – sunshine- mowing – trimming!

Those were days I still cherish all these years later!

Today, I marvel each day as the sun comes up –

And sets at night!

I am and always have been –

A morning person!

Five AM – I am awake!

Even today, as I am retired.

But that also means I head to bed when I get tired!

Eight PM is the time I start to get ready for bed.

I find if I stay up and fight through-

Eventually, I will find my second wind,

And then I just can not go right to sleep!

Then, I feel terrible.

So – it is best I stay on schedule –

Get my rest and enjoy the next day to come!

LOL – that has been my curse through life- remembering names!

We found this twenty years ago!

We were searching for a way to age as healthily as we could.

The research was there, and we read it!

I have never missed a day in all those years.

If you want –

Go to the site and read –

You can order from this site.

My regret is that someone could have shown me-

THIRTEEN YEARS before I found this!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Back in the day –

I would have loved this!

But – those days are past!

Today, I have to watch what I eat –

I am diabetic!

Comes from those first 50 years of my life!

Back then, I ate everything-

With never a thought!

Young and foolish!

But that lifestyle ended with me twenty years ago.

However, all those early years-

The damage had been done!

Twenty years ago – I made a switch –

Finding a supplement and then correcting my diet.

By then, I was borderline diabetic!

And unknown at that time-

Headed for a major heart attack!

Sherry became a certified health coordinator.

And she started guiding me in my life in my pre-senior years.

We changed –

No more sodas!

No more greasy foods and cut way back on fast foods,

And processed foods.

Eventually, almost no fast food.

But by this time, I was placed on meds.

While I was eating healthy-

The damage had been done!

My life had become one of maintenance.

Striving to keep my “NUMBERS” in line!

I have participated in sports my entire life-

None of that is harder than resisting the temptation to cheat!

Seeing and smelling the “STUFF” you should avoid.

I have managed to not drink sodas or milk.

Seldom fast food, except sometimes while traveling!

I have to try very hard not to do this!

Our lives today in retirement revolve around DOCTORS’ or DENTISTS’ appointments.

Our numbers remain on the good side!

But the calendar – well – Dermatologist – Dentist – General Doctor –

Chriopactor – Heart Doctor-

Tests and fasting for blood tests.

All to maintain these senior bodies.

I credit our change twenty years ago –

FINDING A SUPPLEMENT WITH PUBLISHED RESEARCH!

SOMETHING THAT PROVES THROUGH TESTING IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS IT DOES!

We try to eat more fruits and vegetables –

But it is hard to do.

Snacks have turned into celery – peppers-

Grapes and berries.

Drinks made out of nutrition.

I have almost cut out alcohol entirely.

I drink mostly filtered water.

I believe this is what stabilized all those early years.

Losing weight – I weigh less than I did when I graduated in 1967!

But I am still diabetic-
Although those numbers are almost borderline.

My life is preventive.

I have to take meds because of my heart attack and damage to my heart.

I am a survivor –
My calendar throughout the year –

Is to have tests to maintain my health.

I AM BEYOND THE BEGINNING OF MY SENIOR YEARS!

I am me!

This is who I am.

I live life one day at a time.

If any of this is of interest to you –

Then here is the site to read.

https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

My only REGRET?

If only I had known about this THIRTEEN YEARS BEFORE I FOUND IT!

PAPA – weighing less than I did in 1967 at graduation.

My dream since I was in my twenties!

I would kid to my wife –

“I WANT TO SELL HOT DOGS ON THE BEACH”!

We would take yearly vacations –

To a beach.

I found myself counting down the days as soon as we got there.

I formed an idea in my head-

“Someday” – I will be able to spend every day at the beach if I choose to.

I would be the one sitting on the sand and watching those folks –

Packing up after a week and leaving to go back home!

Our SENIOR years are now just like that.

We live maybe four or five miles from the beach.

No traffic and in ten minutes we are standing on the sand.

My dream has come true in my senior years!

We still travel back to NVA for the holidays.

And they all travel down to spend time with us.

Our plan for moving South-

Was to be within a six to eight-hour drive –

For us to go home-

Or family to come down to us.

As we advance in our senior years –

We might have to curtail the traveling!

But for now,

We are still able to do the trips back and forth.

Home is where our hearts are.

Blue skies- white clouds –

Sunshine- warm weather-

Hardly any snow or ice.

Yes- it can and is cold during periods of time.

But with a jacket, gloves, and scarf-

I can manage-

Taking them off as the day warms up!

Being a senior-

It seems that the cold affects me more and more each year!

My two sons –

Troy on the left and Shawn on the right-

Still live back in NWPA where they grew up!

Both have been down once or twice.

And both will come for more visits.

Love them always.

That is why our beach chairs sit high rather than low to the sand! LOL

Being a SENIOR –

And for the past TWENTY YEARS-

We have taken this supplement –

To obtain healthy nutrition in our senior years.

For more INFO-

The sand – surf – call us.

What was a dream for all those years-

Is today a reality!

Closer to 80 than 70!

Dreams do come true –

Living life to the plus in our senior years.

Papa’s World – Living one day at a time.

YES! That is how I live my life, one day at a time!

I had a life-changing event when I was 64 /12 years old.

I had gone to work that morning with a sore shoulder.

I did not really think about it, as the previous Friday I had lifted something heavy!

My thought was that I had strained my shoulder and would just work it out!

But as the day progressed, it started to hurt more and more.

Four hours later, I just sat down and had my hand on my left shoulder when a co-worker came by!

He took one look at me and said he would be right back.

He came back and gave me a baby aspirin.

He asked me if I wanted him to call an ambulance, and I said YES!

He recognized that something was happening.

I guess it was my color and discomfort.

He most likely prevented me from ending up on the floor.

I WAS HAVING WHAT IS CALLED A WIDOW MAKER’S HEART ATTACK!

The ambulance arrived, and soon I was stripped to the waist.

This was during November in NVA, and it was cold out!

They moved me to the outside ramp where the ambulance was –

I was on a stretcher-

And stopped to administer something –

I was shaking from the cold.

They were talking and said they were going to bypass the nearest hospital and take me straight to the cardio-unit of a well-known heart unit.

Soon, we were on our way –

They were trying to put in an IV, and the blood shot out!

My blood pressure was skyrocketing!

They got out the shock paddles and tried to get me to relax.

I managed to start thinking of warm, comfy things.

To try and slow down my pulse.

It was a wild ride –

Never before had I experienced riding in the back of an ambulance with the siren going!

Soon, we pulled into the emergency ramp and the doors.

The back opened, and we were out and racing down the hall –

Wrong way!

Turn around and down to a set of doors –

A crew all dressed in gowns and masks awaited me.

They had called ahead, and they were ready.

By this time, my arm was killing me!
If they had told me they were going to cut it off –

I would have said GO AHEAD!

They started to move me onto an operating table.

I was both scared and aware of what was going on.

Then all of a sudden –

The pain went away –

It seemed like it was fast, but it wasn’t.

They had gone into the inside of my upper leg and put a STENT in!

Just like that, my arm did not hurt!

It was a wonderful feeling.

They were going to keep me overnight for a few days and do tests.

I SURVIVED TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY!

But this was not over yet.

They came into my room the next day and said –

You have three more Arties that need stents!

But there is one problem –

Because of their locations –

It would be too dangerous to do them.

They could be punctured, and you would die on the table!

The good news was that I could have OPEN HEART SURGERY –

And all four would be repaired.

So it was set up!

In six weeks, I went in and had the operation.

The six weeks were stressful –

Not knowing if I would survive this, but I had no choice.

I went in at 5:30 am.

They started to operate at 10am.

I went to recovery at mid-afternoon.

At six thirty, I was standing up!

I never went to the step-down unit!

On Wednesday, at 1:00 PM. –

I was discharged and standing in my living room at 1:30 pm.

I had a widowmaker’s HEART ATTACK.

I HAD FOUR bypasses and open heart surgery.

They had said I was the healthiest heart attack patient they had ever had.

They asked me if I would participate in a study!

I said no – I just wanted to live my LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME!

BUT – I feel that had I not made a lifestyle change –

I would not be here today.

I have never missed a day in twenty years.

Fourteen one-half years later-

My twice-a-year blood tests have come back excellent.

I am on meds because of the damage to my heart during the attack and have been told-

That I will have to take them the rest of my life!

But I am fine with that.

I am now 76 years old.

I still live my life one day at a time.

Here is information on the above supplement-

I will always take it.

Papa’s World – Writing blogs!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

My blogs are about Family – Friends – Events and Past Memories!

This is NEBO LUTHERAN CHURCH in MOUNT JEWETT, PA.

The church sits on a hill called MOUNT NEBO!

Surrounded by a cemetery of the Swedish ancestors who built the –

An eight-sided church in the 1880s.

Mount Jewett is a settlement comprised of Swedish immigrants!

The church itself is modeled after a historic eight-sided church –

from their native Sweden.

The men and women of the town put their resources and time

Into constructing the EIGHT SIDED CHURCH!

Everything is left inside, and services are held there on special occasions.

Sherry attended confirmation classes here and lived just a couple of miles away!

The pews inside – some are separated by the columns –

That comes straight down in the middle of the pews.

So you either enter from the right or left side.

A traveling artist of the 1800s –

Painted a church biblical scene behind the altar.

It is still there to this day.

Almost all of Sherry’s past family is buried there.

This part of the blog is for family and future generations to come –

To know and understand the heritage of their ancestors!

WRITING BLOGS!

Sherry and I are volunteers for the Protection of Sea Turtles for Ocean Isle Beach.

Here we gather for a picture after volunteering for trash pickup along the streets of OIB!

Our volunteer work begins mid-May when the Sea Turtles begin coming ashore to lay their eggs!

There are many facets to the organization-

Sherry does NEST VERIFICATION –

She is scheduled for twenty-four hours a day-

Midnight to midnight.

During that twenty-four-hour period, she is on call –

And must be on the beach within fifteen minutes after a TURTLE CRAWL is reported –

Or a confirmed Sea Turtle Sighting!

The team meets at the beach entrance and then walks the beach –

To where the event has happened.

They then must dig and locate the eggs.

Once they have done this –

The leader of all the teams –

Verifies the eggs are there and if they can remain at the site or need to be moved-

To a safer location above the tide line.

If they move it –

It must be duplicated exactly as found, and measurements taken for width –

Depth from top to bottom.

A hole is dug to those measurements-

The eggs are then gently taken out –

And put into a bucket!

The eggs go back into the new hole-

Exactly how they were taken out.

This ensures that the hatchlings are not disturbed and the gender of the Sea Turtles remains –

Like they were laid.

The temperature inside the chamber determines the genders!

They then construct a unit that prevents predators from digging up the nest/
A barrier is then put around the area and signage attached –

Stating this is a protected nest,

And fines can be leveled by authorities.

Also, each nest I’d sponsored and –

Lamented signs are posted for the sponsors.

There are times that the team finishes one nest and proceeds to another!

Whatever happens in that twenty-four-hour period is that team’s responsibility!

WRITING BLOGS!

My youngest son, Shawn.

Owner of Fitzsimmons Auditing and Insulations for Pa. and parts of NYS.

He contracts for the state and Energy Companies –

To provide energy savings for the elderly.

He still lives back where he was raised in NWPA!

He and Trisha have visited twice since we moved South!

Shawn is also a ranked pool player.

Winning his way to Las Vegas many, many times to compete.

This past year –

The team he is a member of –

Won TWO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Very proud of Shawn for what he has accomplished and his love of playing pool.

When Bode was little –

He would come to our home –

For us to watch while his parents worked!

This farm set we had for years-

The older grandchildren also played with it!

This was the family room for our house in Brambleton.

I would spend hours and hours with him-

For me, this picture is a Journey through time!

One of my favorite TV shows of all time!

In High School, we formed a group called THE EXPLORERS.

A friend’s father led us on many adventures.

Here we are between our Sophomore and Junior years –

Alongside the Alleghany River-

On a canoe trip we had taken down to the Kinzua Dam.

My good friend Bobby is on the far left-

And I am next to him in the white.

Many youthful experiences –

Creates this picture in a journey through time.

When neighbors gather on a beach –

Good times lead to pictures of a journey through time.

A storm came through –

Here I am with two neighbors –

Blowing leaves off the yard of a neighbor who was not home.

A picture of helping one another in a journey through time.

Important to us because they live so far away!

MEMORY IN A PICTURE!

YES, I CAN AND HAVE MANY TIMES! LOL

Family in Lynchburg, Va.

For six years, the two oldest granddaughters played college soccer in this town.

One at the University of Lynchburg and one at Radolph College.

Many times over the years, we rented Airbnb’s to stay for senior nights and games.

This is a MEMORY IN A PICTURE!

MY GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

Maddy, in the center, graduated from college –

Papa and Sherry –

On the beach on OAHU!

We really would like to return to the Big Island!

This is a past memory!

Cindy and Sherry are on our trip to Northern California.

We toured Lake Tahoe-

San Francisco –

And the wine country.

With stops at the giant Redwoods and Reno!

A cherished past memory!

The house we had built and lived in for 14 1/2 years –

In Brambleton, Va.

COVID and the Pandemic hit –

The 401K took a huge loss-

But this house gained so much that we decided to cash in!

We sold almost everything inside –

Packed up what remained into storage.

Then, for four months stayed back and forth with the families.

End of September 2020 –

We moved to North Myrtle Beach, S.C.

We searched and could not find a house we liked or an area we wanted to live in.

By chance, we stumbled upon Cameron Woods Community in OIB – mainland.

We bought a lot and in nine months total – moved in!

Today we live here –

Our home is completed –

And our journey ended happily for us.

FROM THE PAST TO THE PRESENT!

The date: June 25th. 1982.

Our wedding day.

Combining two sets of children.

One family and a journey begins.

July 2024 – our 75th birthday celebrations-

Sherry and Papa on the beach of the ICW in Vareen Gardens.

We discovered this place during our exploration of the area before moving into our new home.

Situated on the borders of N.C. and S.C. –

It is a wooded area and marsh with trails – wooden walkways –

A fishing pier, and you can view the boats traveling up and down the ICW.

We have taken family and friends to this peaceful place.

A LASTING PAST MEMORY!

LOL – some humor for today!

For nine months, we lived in Ocean Keyes-

North Myrtle Beach –

And every day, we would walk the one-half mile to this beach entrance.

The time we spent here was a LASTING MEMORY we shall always cherish.

My good thought for the day!

The very first Cameron Woods Thanksgiving Turkey Trot Walk.

Six of us here –

Now two have moved away and one has passed on!

A LASTING MEMORY!

A lot of truth to this!!!!

Spring is coming – keep the faith!

Taylor and Cassidy when they were little-

Helping Papa rake leaves and bag them up!

North Main Street of where I grew up.

Papa’s World – Growing up – streets of Eldred!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

This is the school I attended from first through fourth grade.

It was built in the 1800s!

I walked from North Main Street to South Main Street.

I do not know just how far that was –

But in Winter, it was cold!

The hill behind the school was a cemetery-

But also sled riding!

The elementary classrooms were on the first floor.

I do not remember much beyond the first floor,

But there was also a basement.

Second grade was where I first loved books.

Our teacher would read the Bobbsey Twins and their adventures.

I loved that part of class!

Later on in the 9th. Grade it was IVAHOE!

First grade was in the front, and we could look out on the large yard –

That was used for recess.

Ringed by huge Maple trees!

Just around the corner on Mechanic Street was a penny candy store –

Called “AUNT NELLS”!

A favorite place to stop and buy candy!

Many memories for me here.

The firehall –

About a block from my home on North Main Street –

Every night at 10 pm. –

The siren would blow, and “CURFEW” was to be home and off the streets!

As far as I know –

It still blows every night!

Upstairs is where I went to study for my Hunter Safety Course.

I went hunting with my father and my brother-in-law, Bill Luce.

It was with my father up at the end of Barden Brook where the sharp curve to the left is –

Up over the ride on the right –

I tasted my first “BUCK FEVER”!

We had just started down the other side when a six-point Buck walked in front of us!

I emptied my 30.6 – Remington of six bullets-

I was shaking so hard that I missed all six times.

I only ever shot one thing, and that was a rabbit.

I hit the back legs –

It was trying to crawl –

I stepped on the hind legs, and it screamed!

THAT WAS IT FOR ME –

I never hunted again, and I do not own a gun.

My sister Donna –

Who was fifteen years older than me-

She, along with my grandma –

Raised me until she married Bill Luce –

He became the chief of police and mayor of Eldred.

My mother worked at the Viko and then Alcas – now CUTCO.

My dad was a supervisor for South Penn Oil Company.

I remember him taking me to work on the leases –

I would ride with bulldozers with a couple of his men.

I think OSHA would frown on that now!

But being in the woods-

Pulling the tool shed – dog house with that dozer-

They are sweet memories for me.

Bill took me hunting many times.
One time, I got cold and went back to the car.

I played the radio, and when he got back –

The car would not start.

I had run the battery down.

He did not get mad, but next time I had to stay with him!

My brother Roger is on the right.

I do not know who the women were talking to, Sherry!

This was in The Villages before he passed away.

He graduated from the Eldred H.S. some ten years before I graduated from O-E H.S.

He was my HERO growing up.

He left for college, and I moved into his bedroom at the front of the house.

I slept on the floor whenever he came back.

I was eight years old when he left.

Before he passed away –

He would ask us to come and spend the winter with him in THE VILLAGES!

I shall always fondly remember those times as we grew closer.

The WWII museum – and next to it, the expansion.

But when I was growing up

This was Frisbee’s insurance and Slavins’ gas station and furniture store!

I was allowed to roller skate down to Slavin’s gas –

But later, when I got my first bike-

I could go all over town as long as I was home before the street lights came on.

This was maybe a block from my front porch.
The sidewalks were cracked, crooked, but I skated them

For over twenty years –

Our SUPPLEMENT for health and nutrition.

You can read and see the research.

Sherry’s website – yes, she sells this.

Go to https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

Long before I was born,

The main street in the middle of town

Other than the vacant stores now and the cars here-

It looks much like this today.

The little NWPA town I grew up in.

In the foothills of the Alegany Mountains and the Alleghany River.

Papa’s World – Living life in the South!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

After we moved to NVA in 1999-

Around 2010-

We purchased our first Tower Garden-

A growing system that uses water, air, and nutrients –

NO SOIL!

IN the late spring – summer and early fall –

This worked well with the temperatures!

But during the winter –

As you see in the above picture-

We moved it inside the garage-

With grow lights and an aquarium heater.

That also worked.

In 2021, we moved into our new home in Cameron Woods Community!

Above this is the back patio.

It is here that we set up the Tower Garden in 2021.

It has been producing ever since.

Every four to six months-

We tear it apart –

Clean it up –

And then start all over again.

In reality –

It now produces twelve months a year, and we are now four and one-half years later.

Sherry – Dottie and Cindy.

We all now live in the state of N.C.

Having moved South from Pa. and NYS.

Friends and neighbors for decades and decades!

We try to get together every so often or go on trips!

Friendships – laughter and close buddies for all these years, and now living in the South!

The skies of the South in the West are close to the Atlantic Ocean in our community!

Because of the curvature of the coast from Charleston, S.C. –

To Wilmington, N.C.-

The back of our home faces almost due South!

This is looking to the West from the road in front of our home.

It is rare to live on the East Coast and yet have the back of your house face South!

LIVING LIFE IN THE SOUTH!

Living here in our community-

We have open-air concerts from mid-May to mid-September.

The weather is why we have concerts –

Very few in the five years we have been here have been canceled only to be rescheduled at a future date.

LIVING IN THE SOUTH!

This will be our last move –

Having moved seven times –

Built three homes –

Lived in a condo for a short while.

Coming from WNY and growing up in NWPA!

LIFE IN THE SOUTH suits us!

My two sons and their families.

They still live back in NWPA, where they were raised.

They have visited numerous times between the two of them.

Being part of the life we lead while so far away!

Always in my heart and mind.

Many memories from the past –

And many new memories to be made.

The present is the life we lead.

Five granddaughters and one grandson.

We have made memories –

We are still making memories-

This is our life to live-

One day at a time!

Cindy and Buck – We were neighbors in NYS for years.

Then they moved to N.C., and we stayed in touch.

Here we are at Lake Tahoe.

We have traveled the world on vacations with them.

Today they live but 38 miles from us.

We are still creating memories in the life we live.

The day we were married –

June 25th, 1982.

The beginning of the life we live.

Here we are at the rapids just inside the Maryland border.

As we age – and having been married for 43 plus years-

Together for a year and a half before that-

What has become a thought for me-

One day, one of us will not be here!

That is life!

We have shared so much over the years.

And today we are each other’s giver.

I see friends who are going through life-changing events.

However, we still maintain that close bond of being there for one another.

A lot of truth in this!

On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial – BLESSED!

Looking out across the Mall to the Washington Monument.

Sherry stands where over the 21 years we lived in the area-

We made a favorite pastime of going into D.C. –

Just to explore and walk around for the day.

LIVING OUR LIVES TOGETHER!

Buck and Cindy – our dear friends!

We have traveled the world with them.

Golfed – dinners- and friendships!

Today, we live 38 miles from them.

We were neighbors in WNY back in the late 80s and into the 90s.

They moved to where they are now, and we stayed in contact and visited.

Maintaining those friendships!

Going through life together-

SENIORS now – Closer to 80 than to 70!

Maintaining health and nutrition –

For the past twenty-plus years –

We have maintained our supplements.

Leaning on the published research.

True today as it was twenty years ago.

In fact, Sherry signed up –

Papa’s World – Seniors – live life to the plus.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

In our younger years, growing up

This was our generation.

Long hair- love and peace.

If you really think about it –

Short hair – hate and war are now some of the people’s mantras!

Or so it seems to me!

Being in our SENIOR years-

We both want to live our lives to the fullest while we can.

Twenty plus years ago –

We researched and selected this product of health and nutrition-

Proven through research to do what it claimed to do.

In all that time,

I have never missed a day!

Sherry also decided early on –

To join the business part and sell just enough to pay our monthly costs!

Which, for both of us,

Amounted to about $140.00 per month.

And she did ‘

And has had her own website for over twenty years!

https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

Trying as hard as I could –

Eating fruits and vegetables every day in the right amounts-

Just was ot happening.

And – I loved fast foods –

Burgers and fries!

I am almost addicted to salt.

I drank a lot of milk and sodas!

After forty years of eating like that –

I paid the price –

I HAD A HEART ATTACK and an operation to replace FOUR ARTERIES!

I am convinced that had I not taken the supplement –

And changed my eating habits eight years prior-

I WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED THAT HEART ATTACK!

Today-

I still take the capsules every day and have for over twenty years!

Recently, they developed a powder to replace the capsules!

Sherry has always had trouble swallowing pills and capsules!

This was just right for her –

A powder mixed with water tastes like a fruit juice drink!

Recognized and sold worldwide in twenty-plus countries –

She not only sold enough to pay the monthly installments –

But added to the monthly retirement income.

HER SITE: https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com –

Contains both her email and phone number –

And information on how to order.

We are SENIORS – aging as healthily as we can-

Now closer to 80 than 70!

In retirement –

We are living life to the plus –

ONE DAY AT A TIME!

YES – as our lives began all those years ago –

So it goes today-

/ Tom / Leave a comment

This is the view early after we moved into our home.

You can still see the irrigation they set up to water the neighbor’s lawn.

Later, they removed it!

A lot of truth in this.

We chose Cameron Woods because it seemed to be centrally located among all the amenities we wanted.

Shopping – Golfing- Beaches –

Gas stations, groceries, parks, and entertainment.

And a brand new community with a community building with pool – workout room –

Bathrooms – Pickle Ball courts-

Quick access to highways North- South –

And six to eight hours’ drives to family!

We get to spend time on the beaches!

Neither one of us is into swimming in the ocean!

But walking the surf –

Relaxing in the shade of umbrellas-

Knowing we can do this every day!

Several friends from back in NVA have already built houses and moved down here.

Our old friends have lived here since the 1990s.

Here – pictured are Bob and Pam, and they are leasing for a year to see if they like it!

Debby – Sherry and Tammy –

They have visited often, along with the grandkids.

CAMERON WOODS HAS BECOME A DESTINATION, along with her sister, who moved nearby!

We also brought with us Sherry’s Internet business on Health and Nutrition.

This is what we sell and have taken for over twenty years!

Diane is back from her summer cottage on Rushford Lake.

We will be doing numerous things with all of them.

FRIENDS!

Buck – Cindy – Papa and Sherry.

They are almost our oldest friends.

We were neighbors back in the late 80s.

They moved to Magnolia Greens outside Leland, N.C.

Today we live 38 miles from them and often get together.

We have traveled the world with them on vacations.

We often golf together.

FRIENDS!

Ocean Isle Beach and the Causeway bridge over the ICW.

We live in the forest area on the mainland side.

Ten minutes –

And we can be across the bridge.

We spend a lot of time here.

We also go to Sunset Beach and Hilden Beach.

We have made many new friends here.

A DREAM!

Some of the new friends we have made as volunteers for the

Protection of Sea Turtles on OIB!

Here we are in front of the OIB Park stage-

This is where May through September –

Open-air music concerts for free –

Are held!

Papa’s World – Living near the border!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

After searching –

And moving to the border of N.C and S.C.-

We have found our happiness!

The big drop in the 401K in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic-

Caused us to rethink about living in NVA!

The housing market expanded and increased values –

Led us to sell the home we built and move South!

We wanted to be within a day’s drive of the Families –

But be out of the Ice, Snow, and Cold!

We both dislike snow and Ice.

It was time to move and be seniors –

Enjoy what years we have left.

We miss the families, but we go back often, and they come down.

For nine months, we had this view from the fourth floor of a condo –

In Ocean Keyes, North Myrtle Beach.

We walked to the beach one half mile every day!

Nine months here, and then we moved into our newly built home-

In Cameron Woods Community in Ocean Isle Beach –

On the mainland side of the ICW!

The new home we moved into –

We chose to be in the middle of shopping-

Golf courses –

and close to two beaches!

We are about seven miles from the border of S.C.

We are just a couple of miles from the ICW!

Our church is about five miles away.

Shopping within seven miles in either direction.

Most of the time, no snow or ice!

Just once in five years, we had a couple of inches of snow!

Within days, it was all gone and back into the mid-50s!

These past five years have gone by so fast!

But it is what we want!

We are still after twenty years –

Maintaining our healthy lifestyle!

Our choice was and still is after twenty years!

INFORMATION – EMAIL and PHONE NUMBER!

Today, if we choose –

We can see this every day!

This is our WHY, living near the beaches and borders!

What is called “THE GROIN” on the East side of Ocean Isle Beach.

This multi-million dollar project was completed a few years ago.

Large granite boulders were placed 900 feet straight out into the ocean-

With a 90-degree turn –

This section of the “L” shape is short-

Then the dredging of the Shalotte channel began –

And the sand was blown onto the beach West of the GROIN!

This was about a mile and hundreds of feet wide!

The beach erosion in the past wiped out the ends of First and Second streets!

This design is designed to prevent that erosion from happening.

The project succeeded –

However, going East beyond the bouldered wall-

The erosion has devastated that area of the beach.

Huge sandbags and sand have been carried in.

That whole end is most likely to collapse –

Placing multi-million-dollar homes in extreme danger.

It is a mess, and lawsuits have been filed.

NOTE: Those homes were built there after the “GROIN” was put in place!

MOTHER NATURE: It is sad to see this happening – time will tell!

A PLACE IN THE SUN!

My sons and their families-

A visit a couple of years ago-

Here we were hiking a trail near Cherry Point.

Showing them a PLACE IN THE SUN far from the cold weather back in NWPA!

It can be nice there for a few months-

But the cold is the reason Sherry and I went to the South-

On the border of N.C. and S.C.

A PLACE IN THE SUN!

For healthy living!

SUNSET from our patio in the back yard.

Winter here is sunny, with blue skies and white clouds –

Most Winter days.

Here you see a late fall day-

Or an early winter day.

Almost zero snow and ice.

I bundle up – scarf and winter jacket-

Sometimes ear muffs-

But after walking a distance in the sun-

Slowly, I lose the scarf and earmuffs!

I do not like the cold-

I am comfortable at 74 degrees inside and 77 outside!

A PLACE IN THE SUN!

We chose our place in the sun –

Ocean Isle Beach!

Here you see the mainland and then the Causeway Bridge.

The town of OIB is after crossing the bridge.

We live back in the forest,

A couple of miles before crossing the bridge in the forest!

A little over ten minutes and we are here.

Sunset Beach is a couple of miles away, and we have access to that area also.

All shopping – gas – parks – box stores,

And multiple golf courses are within fifteen minutes of our house!

Wilmington is 45 minutes, and NMB is less than thirty minutes.

On a Spring 2025 trip to Florida-

We went to the Villages –

We had spent considerable time visiting my brother, who lived there!

Several years ago, he passed away.

We decided during our trip there in Florida-

We would once again visit Sumpter Landing.

He lived a half mile away, and we walked it every day for months.

This picture was taken just outside the Radio Station –

Where a man had a couple of parrots.

One he placed on Sherry’s upper arm, and we got the picture!

Across the street is RED SAUCE –

This was my brother’s favorite place to sit, talk, and have a couple of beers!

A COOL PICTURE and brought back many GOOD VIBES in memories!

The WWII museum is back in my hometown of Eldred, Pa.

Buses stop here for tours, and while you only see the entrance-

It really is huge.

The tank coming through the wall is real!

Put it on your bucket list –

You will not be disappointed.

A COOL PICTURE and many memories and GOOD VIBES growing up here for me!

A GOOD VIBE FOR THE DAY!

Shortly after I had my heart attack and before my four bypass surgery!

This was back in 2013, almost 2014.

Eight years before this, I had changed my eating habits-

Most likely, what kept me alive after FORTY YEARS of fast food and not eating well.

I have continued on what I practiced back then-

FOR ME, THIS IS A COOL PICTURE AND A GOOD VIBE MEMORY!

Me today!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

We moved here in 2021-

The weather here is much warmer than in NVA or WNY –

Where we first lived.

Also – born and raised in NWPA –

We had a few months of ideal weather and then cold and snow!

Neither one of us enjoys that weather –

We both like to be warm.

Living here can be hot and humid.

You just learn when to go out,

And you can always head to the beach.

There – with the wind and shade –

It is comfortable for us.

Walking the beach with a shade hat on –

The surf on your feet and a breeze-

That is a WHY for us.

Coffee in the morning is a must for me!

Just one cup!

But – I also like a cup of tea-

Nothing in it and only cream in my coffee!

My mother and grandmother drank tea as I was growing up!

Later, Mom drank coffee!

My grandmother introduced me to “COFFEE SOUP”!

Wierd as it sounds –

It was during the DEPRESSION thing.

When hard times came –

She would make and bake bread!

As a way to substitute for other items-

She would slice a thick piece of homemade bread-

Then pour some coffee over it with sugar and milk from the cows.

They called this “COFFEE SOUP” and sometimes some thick bacon.

Which came from raising pigs.

Most everything was done on the farm.

My father would take two slices of homemade white bread –

Butter both pieces –

And cut a thick slice of onion and make –

“BREAD AND BUTTER ONION SANDWICHES” for his lunch pail –

On the oil leases where he was a supervisor!

This also went back to his upbringing during the “DEPRESSION”!

Our way for over twenty years of healthy eating!

THIRTY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES are going directly into the bloodstream from powder capsules.

Maybe- Maybe not- you never know!

When he was small – Bode- on our couch in Brambleton, Va.

He would come and stay with us during the day before he started pre-school.

Often – quiet as a mouse!

Today, he plays flag football, golf, Lacrosse, and sometimes soccer.

I often want the little boy back, but I enjoy seeing him grow –

“Papa – what are we doing next”?

“I don’t know, but whatever it is – we will have fun”!

That is so true! LOL!

Sherry selected this instead of capsules –

Simply because she has a problem swallowing pills and capsules.

GOOD THOUGHT and GOOD VIBE for the day!

When we lived in NVA, we often made trips either on the Metro or by car-

Into Washington, D.C.

We moved into the area in 1999 –

First, for a couple of months in Alexandria,

Close to Old Town.

Then, for a dozen years, in and around Fairfax.

Finally – Brambleton –

Which was on the backside of the Dulles Airport in the country.

Dozens of times during those years –

We acted as tour guides to family and friends!

We would spend weekends going into the city with them.

Here is one time with friends from AZ. –

Sherry -on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with –

The Washington Monument and the reflecting pond in the background!

We loved going into the city.

I normally don’t like cities, as I feel closed in.

But – Washington, D.C. –

It is wide open, and the buildings can only be so high!

LOL – A SMILE FOR THE DAY!

Jo – Sherry and Paul –

REFLECTIONS on the Vietnam Wall!

They visited us from AZ.

We are all from that area of history.

We lost people we knew.

MEMORIES FROM THE PRESENT INTO THE PAST!

WHEN FRIENDS MAKE YOU LAUGH AND SMILE!

These friends go back decades –

And decades!

Sherry – Cindy and Dottie.

Oh, the times through the years they have had!

GOOD THOUGHTS AND LIFE MEMORIES!

Sherry switched to this instead of the capsules –

Because she has always had problems swallowing capsules and pills.

Tastes like FRUIT juice when mixed with water.

The twins – Taylor on the left and Cassidy on the right-

When they were small, they would climb up onto my lap-

And we would watch the IPAD!

Today, they are in their first year of H.S.

Taylor is almost as tall as I am-

And Cassidy is a few inches shorter!

If only I could turn back time!

GOOD THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES!

The day Sherry and I took Ella and Maddy –

On the Metro to Arlington Cemetery –

And then we walked across the 14th. street bridge –

Into the Rolling Thunder Bike Rally!

I think they were maybe 13 and 16 years old.

It was an exciting trip as we walked in DC that day!

Covering most everything and then caught the Metro back just outside where we lived.

Papa’s World – Together – our life!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

June 25th. 1982 – a second marriage for both of us.

Combining Sherry’s two daughters –

And my two sons.

Back at that time –

We had no money –

We both worked for AOTC –

In Olean, N.Y.

We lived in the country at the farthest point from the Portville School District.

Life was busy –

We would often load the kids up in our twelve-passenger van-

Pack food for picnics or overnight trips.

We lived on a budget yet tried to have as much fun as we could as a family.

The house where we lived had a long gravel driveway and in winter-

Provided a 1/10th of a mile sled ride.

We had a backyard, and on the far end –

A fire pit for cooking out and a bonfire at night!

Hardly any lights in the country and a star-filled sky at night!

We had dated for a year and a half.

Both of us are waiting for the divorce to be done.

It was a time that I would not trade –

We had new friends.

But the house was small –

We were going to find one closer to the school –

It was about 14 miles round-trip every time we had to take the girls to activities.

And for my sons who still lived with their mother –

20 to 25 miles round trip.

After five years, we found a home close to the school and closer to my two sons.

We lived in that house for 12 1/2 years.

In that time, the kids all graduated from H.S.

We were empty nesters, and we decided we needed a change.

We both transferred within the company to NVA!

We would end up moving three times – build two houses while working in NVA!

Between both of us-

We had 79 1/2 years of service to the same company at retirement.

During this time, we found a supplement with research-

To help us age as healthily as we can into our senior years.

Now – over twenty years later –

We are seniors and still take this every day!

Sherry’s site with email and phone number-

She decided to have this as a part-time business.

Papa – third from the left, and Sherry second from the right!

Being retired – and both closer to 80 than 70-

We volunteer – The Protection for Sea Turtles –

And the Food Pantry for our church.

Here we are after volunteering for the pick up of trash for OIB.

We covered first and second streets and side streets between Lee Street and Charlotte Street!

In July 2024 –

Our family celebrated our 75th birthdays on the beach!

With our friends, the McBrides,

After a day of golfing.

Yes – I do drink coffee-

One cup early in the morning as I read the newspaper online!

After that, I turn my attention to “PAPA’S WORLD”!

This blog is a result of my wife, SHERRY, telling me I needed to have a place-

Where my writing could be stored –

Since it just went into the internet world –

Somewhere out there in space!

Never to be recovered and read again.

So with help from her and a friend –

We found WORDPRESS –

And for a yearly fee-

I have my own BLOG SITE – titled – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog

“PAPA’S WORLD”!

Where members can SUBSCRIBE for FREE – 660 have now joined-

And a blog goes to their email whenever I write one, and it publishes at midnight-

All over the world!

Of all those members, I only know maybe 4 or 5!

And I can see each country that they live in.

AND IT IS FREE TO SUBSCRIBE!

My writing is a memory jogger for me.

It is an exercise that requires me to remember things!

I write them down as a memory –

And oftentimes, pictures of the past jog that memory!

Papa’s World – Past memories in pictures!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Several years ago –

Along with our long-time friends – The McBrides-

We vacationed on Oahu!

This was a bucket list for both of us!

We also wanted to golf-

So we rented clubs and played a rainforest course in the mountains.

We even saw a mongoose and wild pigs!

In this picture, you can see the yellow ball just as Sherry hits it!

To her left are green Trees, bushes, and deep ravines!

Needless to say –

You do not look for lost golf balls on this course!

It was cart path only – at times going through jungle growth on either side of the cart!

Part of the course was in the rain forest-

And yes, it rained!

The other part was sunny and dry!

It was an experience I shall always remember.
GOLFING OAHU!

PAST MEMORIES IN PICTURES!

The Covid Pandemic!

We wore masks –

But I have had Covid three times.
I have had the two shots and the booster.

I was sick for a few days –

But no lasting results.

I do not plan to have additional shots-

As I also do not have the Flu shots.

I have been tested, and my body is producing antibodies!

BUT – A PAST MEMORY I SHALL ALWAYS HAVE!

This I have taken for over twenty years.

Absorbed directly into my bloodstream.

Our website: https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

Our kitchen island in our home in Brambleton, VA.

The three youngest grandkids lived one mile from us.

We were together all the time as their parents worked.

They eventually moved out to the country.

The 401K took a big hit-

However, this house has increased significantly in value.

We decided to cash out after 14.5 years.

What had been an everyday occurrence for years –

Became less and less.

Loundon County became more and more expensive to live in.

We decided since they were older and becoming more and more involved in activities-

It was time to find a warmer climate,

Yet it was a six-to seven-hour drive away!

We moved to Cameron Woods –

Just a short drive to OIB!

This is across the causeway bridge to Ocean Isle Beach-

In the wooded area in the upper left is where we live on the mainland!

We either go home or they come down, so we see them often-

And try to support them in the events they do.

They call Sherry – MORMOR- Swede for MOTHERSMOTHER –

And they call me PAPA!

Papa’s World – Reflections of the past!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

In our home in NVA at Brambleton-

We had several TOWER GARDENS!

They are growing systems requiring only –

WATER – AIR and NUTRIENTS!

An aquarium pump in the base filled with water –

Pumps the water to the top on a timer!

Then it filters down from the top

And the roots hang in the air and are saturated by the water.

Nutrients are added to the base where the water is stored –

Thus, your plants are fed all the time.

These nutrients are special –

The system grows in weeks, compared to months in soil.

We had so much that we gave it away to neighbors.

Today, since July 2021, when we moved into our home in Cameron Woods Community-

It has grown all year on our back patio.

Fresh vegetables with no pesticides year-round.

REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST continued to this day!

THE TRUTH IS HERE!

Right after we moved in –

Our patio is in the rear of the house.

We had not set up the tower garden yet-

You can see it in the corner-

Soon, we had it going and producing!

REFLECTIONS IN THE PAST!

REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST!

Papa’s World – Looking back – pictures!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

This is the day I came home from the hospital-

After having open heart surgery-

FOUR BY-PASSES!

I never went to the step-down unit-

Instead, five hours after the surgery was done –

I was standing up.

I went directly to the room where I would be discharged.

The surgery was at 10 am. Monday-

This picture was taken at 1pm. on Wednesday.

They wanted to do a study on me as I was the healthiest patient they had for bypasses-

But I said no!

The next day, I started walking inside-

Up and down the stairs and around every room for 30 minutes at a time.

I had a HEART PILLOW I clutched to my chest.

After a couple of weeks, I walked outside.

My journey to better health began ten years prior.

I am convinced that had I not started my routine-

I would not have survived the heart attack!

I had given up SODA’S – FAST FOOD – MILK!

I cut way back on beer.

We had started walking.

And yes, I took meds.

But for ten years, I slowly began changing my body by ingesting JUICE PLUS!

The capsules have been studied and proven to contain the nutrients of 30 fruits and vegetables-

They are absorbed into the bloodstream after they dissolve.

Every four to six months –

I get tested –

This surgery was at the end of 2013!

Today – still on meds-

My stats are:

Cholesterol- 99

Triglycerides- 57

HDL- 32 ( working on this)

LDL- 54

VLDL Cholesterol calc- 13

AIC- 6.7 ( working on this)

My journey will be for the rest of my life.

Here I am over 12 years later-

I am 76 years old here.

I will continue as I have for the last twenty-plus years –

Taking this supplement.

I will not go back to the things I gave up.

I will be tested every four to six months by my doctors.

To go over twelve years

And still the results of my stats are the same as when I had my first test-

After my surgery-

Proves to me I am on the right path.

I may be an exception –

BUT I BELIEVE!

Last year, we both turned 75 years old.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Mike – Sarah – Ella – Debby – Maddy and Sherry.

Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach!

In the background – a huge condo complex.

We had considered living there, but it felt too much like a vacation rental.

These are the oldest grandkids with their parents.

We are about an eight-hour drive from their home, North of Winchester, VA.

So they visit, and we go back to visit throughout the year!

This is but one scene from the past!

Here are my two sons and their families.

They are from back in NWPA-

Where they had grown up!

It is a very long drive down here, but they have made the trip several times!

Excited for them to visit once more!

SCENES FROM THE PAST!

The youngest grandkids and their parents at the waterfront at Calabash!

They often come to visit –

It is a little over a six-hour drive!

The kids are all busy in different areas and are quite busy.

But the trips we make back and then coming here-

Keeps us in touch!

This is but one more scene from the past!

On one of our many walks on the far EAST END of OIB!

Looking for Sea Turtle crawls and at the same time collecting garbage off the beach!

SCENES FROM THE PAST!

Our way of getting the nutrients from 30 fruits and vegetables –

absorbed instantly into our bloodstream!

They grew up so fast!

Above when young –

Ella and Maddy –

Then, when they were in college, both captains played against one another!

Today, they have graduated from college and both work in their own fields!

SCENES FROM THE PAST!

Cindy and Sherry are sitting on her mother’s backyard patio in Mount Jewett, Pa.

They stayed here with us, and her mother was by that time in the nursing home!

Just one of many memories we have of traveling together over the years!

THE PAST WITH A PICTURE!

https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

One of my longtime best friends – Jimmy!

We grew up in the same little NWPA town called ELDRED!

Jim – up Barden Brook and me on North Main Street!

In the mid-70s, we played softball together-

And we also both worked for AOTC-DAL TILE!

We raised our kids and took vacations to the beach together.

Sherry – Jim and I all transferred to Va..

He to Va, Beach and us to NVA!

Today we are all retired and still try to get together several times a year.

We are all in N.C., although over three hours apart!

THE PAST WITH A PICTURE!

OUR GO TO FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS!

https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

Our home on Minerva Street in Brambleton, Va.

This was taken from our neighbor’s front yard.

Brambleton was full of folks who worked for the state and the federal government.

The couple who lived here –

She was a stay-at-home mom, and he was the Director of Counterintelligence Worldwide for the FBI.

He retired and moved away a few years before we did.

THE PAST WITH A PICTURE!

You can now mix it with water and enjoy it as a refreshing drink.

httsp://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

My grandpa, David Aiken, and wife, Nora.

I never knew him, as he passed before I was born in 1949!

However, I have his name for my middle name.

My grandma lived with us, and I remember sitting on her lap on the front porch-

And seeing a boy walking down the street to the school.

I asked her when I would be able to walk to school-

And she said, ” I’d be in a couple of years when you turn six!”

That was my very first memory of her!

THE PAST WITH A PICTURE!

Looks like and tastes like red fruit punch-

But has the powdered nutrients of 30 fruits and vegetables that are-

Immediately absorbed into the bloodstream!

Bode and Cassidy –

Patiently waiting as Taylor takes a lesson in riding horses!

Bode watches as Taylor tightens the saddle.

This was years ago –

Taylor is now fifteen years old, and Bode is eleven years old!

Taylor has loved horses and riding since she was about four years old.

She applied for a job working in a barn and getting paid for something –

She has been doing it for free for years!

For her,

It is a pleasure and not a job!

Her dream is to go to a college-

That has an equestrian program!

Taylor – Tammy and Cassidy.

Hoping her dream comes true –

A proud mother and her two daughters!

Here is our way of getting all those fruits and vegetables into our bloodstream with the nutrients!

We have taken this for over twenty years!

Here is the website with Sherry’s email and phone number!

Today, she is a Freshman in college.

In her senior year –

She drew this picture-

Representing the past of her high school to the left-

And today’s H.S. on the right!

Her car is the white one on the right next to her father’s car on the right.

These are all her friends in the picture!

She also submitted the above, and it was painted on two spots in the school!

She is very artistic- her signature is bottom left!

Funny and bright!

She will go a long way!

She never stopped believing in herself!

FRIENDS!

We have a core group that has been friends for decades.

We all lived back in WNY and WPA-

Just a few miles away from each other.

Over the years, we have tried to get together as often as possible.

Life and grandkids now dictate when that will happen.

But that friendship survives to this day!

FRIENDS – MEMORIES and LIFE IS GOOD!

Daughters of ours and our friends!

Next generations.

Last October – Sherry – Cindy and Dottie – with daughters –

Attended the Bills vs. Panthers football game in Carolina.

Friendships continue in the next generation.

YES!!!!!

LOVE – PEACE and BLESSINGS!

A SUPPLEMENT OF CHOICE FOR US!

website: https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

Our friends for many years –

We love getting together to play a golf scramble-

Of guys vs gals.

Sometimes they win, and sometimes we win!

FRIENDS FOR LIFE!

Long-time friends and my grade school buddy!

They are now 10 miles from us –

Leasing a place for a year to determine-

If they like this area after spending –

SIX PLUS years in an RV –

Living up and down the East Coast and to the West Coast.

FRIENDS – LIFETIME!

DRINK OF CHOICE-

SUPPLEMENT OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES!

website: https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

I am closer to 80 than 70!

For over TWENTY YEARS I have taken a supplement-

It delivers the nutrients of fruits and vegetables (30) –

Absorbed directly into my bloodstream!

CAPSULES – or GUMMIES or POWDERED DRINK WITH WATER!

website: https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

My health stats are excellent.

I now weigh five pounds less than I did when I graduated in 1967!

I HAVE NEVER MISSED A DAY!

THIS IS ME!!!!!

A NEW WAY OF LIFE, ONE DAY AT A TIME!

LOL – BUT TRUE!!!

Thanks for reading –

Papa’s World – Life at one day at a time.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Living life one day at a time- living life doing it my way!

I have been doing this since I had my heart attack all those years ago.

At the time –

I had six more months to work and then retire at 65!

I had open heart surgery –

And four by-passes!

I never went back to work!

Since that time –

I came to realize you never know from day to day-

What might be the last day you are alive!

It was then that I decided to continue my journey on healthy living.

I had changed my diet after 40 years of eating fast food before my heart attack!

It was this change I had made that to this day –

Convinces me that is the reason I survived my “WIDOW MAKER HEART ATTACK”!

These capsules helped me build my body –

They provided nutrients that, when taken –

Go directly into the bloodstream.

The doctors and surgeons all told me –

I WAS THE HEALTHIEST HEART ATTACK PATIENT THEY EVER HAD!

They wanted me to come back for a study, and I declined!

On a Monday at 10 am. –

I had the four bypasses!

At 6:30 pm.. I was standing up.

Later that night, I was assisted in walking!

I never went to the step-down unit-

Instead, I went to the room I checked out of.

The next morning, they removed all the wires from my chest, and I was walking with Sherry!

On Wednesday at 1pm.-

I WAS HOME!

And started walking several times a day up and down our stairs –

And around in each room for THIRTY MINUTES each time.

I was home in a little over 48 hours from the start of my surgery!

Now, I am convinced that had I not made changes to my diet and taken this supplement-

I would not have survived.

I continue to this day –

My recent cholesterol was 99!

My Triglycedeides were 57!

LDL was 54!

HDL was 32, which means I need to walk more!

I have been on MEDS for ELEVEN and ONE HALF years –

Because of the HEART ATTACK and the damage it caused!

I now weigh five pounds less than I did the day I graduated in 1967.

Since that day –

I HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME!

LIVING LIFE DOING IT MY WAY!

And that is the name of my blog-

PAPA’S WORLD: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog

And I am convinced this is my “WHY” to live that way!

Since that time all those years ago-

The company has developed this powder to mix with water.

It tastes like FRUIT juice!

But – I still take the capsules –

Have for over twenty years.

Because Sherry has a hard time swallowing any pill or capsule –

She switched to the above mixture –

They both do the same thing.

They are absorbed directly into the bloodstream!

Yes – this is me today!

A survivor of a heart attack that should have been my last day alive!

I will always take this supplement-

I will always believe this is what I did to allow me to be here today!

LIVING LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME!

LIVING LIFE DOING IT MY WAY!

My only REGRET?

Someone did not show this thirteen years before I had the heart attack!

Today’s world is full of negative thoughts and vibes.

Find interesting books –

I love mysteries – Sci-Fi!

Walk – try a hobby –

Find quiet time!

In our area on Sunset Beach –

Is the KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX-

A walk down the beach for a mile and a half

An area with benches and a mailbox containing journals inside.

A view of the rolling surf, and behind you, a view of sand dunes, marsh, and a bay!

A large piece of driftwood with a plaque dedicated to the two hippies who decades ago-

Lugged a mailbox here, installed it, and called it the KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX!

You write your thoughts down, and someone collects the notebooks,

And they are in a college museum for posterity.

A TIME FOR REFLECTION!

Sherry won a raffle for a pontoon boat for a day.

We invited friends, and we went on the ICW-

A day spent cruising and yes –

Riding the waves of larger boats!

Making memories-

Dottie is pointing to Sherry’s Buffalo Bills shirt!

Our roots to the Bills go all the way back to the late 80s.

Before we moved to NVA in 1999!

In our home, we are divided –

She roots for the Bills, and I do too!

More so than I!

I am a Washington Commanders fan!

My second team is the BILLS-

And Sherry’s second team is the COMMANDERS!

We cheer for both of them!

Makes for some GOOD HUMOR and THOUGHTS!

LOL – have been there and done that!

You need some GOOD HUMOR on the golf course – at least I do! LOL

A healthy way to get the nutrients of 30 fruits and vegetables absorbed into your bloodstream!

Just take the powder, add water, and mix it up!

It is red in color and tastes like FRUIT punch –

But as research shows –

It does what is claimed to do!

HA-HA! This is the reason I blog –

To keep my memory and mind active!

Papa’s World – Living life in the South!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

We spent the first 50 years of our lives in NWPA and WNY!

Here – from left to right –

My friends and neighbors!

Jimmy – from the same town I grew up in, NWPA!

We played softball together and worked together!

Mike – our next-door neighbor in WNY in Portville!

We played many funny tricks on each other, and he and his wife still live in WNY!

Buck – another neighbor in Portville – who was the first to leave and go South to N.C.

He and Cindy – his wife –

Have traveled the world with us!

Today, they live but 38 miles from us.

They are the main reason we came to N.C.

Some HUMOR for today!

Here is where we came in 2020 after selling our home in Brambleton, VA.

This is a three-bedroom, two-bath condo on the fourth floor with two elevators right outside this door.

The view through those glass sliding doors –

Overlooks a large lake with fountains and is a half mile long, and a walk to the beach entrance-

In Ocean Keyes – North Myrtle Beach.

Where those glass sliding doors are – to the right is another set off the master bedroom –

And is a completely screened-in lanai with fantastic views.

We were very happy here and once thought of buying here!

But – no garage and limited storage space.

Here we are on the beach in Winter on a warm day!

Our WHY for moving South-

Hardly any snow and ice!

The heat does not bother us so much-

You can walk the beach in summer, and the surf and breezes are all we need!

We spent nine months here –

At first, searching for houses for sale.

But soon found out that anything we could afford also needed updating!

So – we found a community just North across the border into N.C.

We could build cheaper and get everything we wanted!

So, we signed and spent the rest of the nine months here enjoying NMB and the area!

Our new home shortly after we moved in.

Eight miles to the border of S.C.

Shopping – entertainment all around us.

38 miles from our close friends, the McBrides!

Three beaches, 10 to 20 minutes from us!

In the middle of about 30 golf courses.

A brand new community and loads of new friends.

In the years since-

Old friends from NVA have moved down here, and we meet every so often.

My H.S. buddy and wife-

is here now, nine miles away, for a one-year lease to see if they like the area year-round-

After the past six plus years of RV living up and down the coast and out West!

The younger grandkids and family love it here and visit often!

The oldest grandkids and parents also love coming here!

We now volunteer for the protection of Sea Turtles on OIB! PERMIT 25st02!

We choose to live here –

Aging during our SENIOR YEARS –

And for the past twenty-plus years –

Taking a supplement to help us age as HEALTHILY as we can.

Now, a drink that provides 30 fruits and vegetables to absorb directly into the bloodstream.

Nationally recognized in the health and nutrition industry –

It has been sold in the USA and 27 countries and has been in business for almost FORTY years!

Papa’s World – Our steps to retirement!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Here we are –

Almost a dozen years into retirement!

That went fast –

Leading up to it and then faster –

Once it was here!

Back in 1999, we decided to transfer from AOTC- DAL-TILE –

Located in WNY in a town called Olean!

We ended up applying and then relocating to NVA!

From farm and country to DC life in NVA!

TRAFFIC – BY- PASSES JAMMED FULL OF TRAFFIC!

Quiet life of rural America to city life!

But it was a step we took on our road to retirement.

A brand new world opened up for us –

And we adapted!

Later, after we transferred to NVA-

We attended a Health fair called NBC FOR YOUR HEALTH-

At the convention center in Washington, DC.

We changed our diets – gave up some foods and drinks, and were preparing to –

Age as healthily as we can into our SENIOR YEARS!

FOOD BECAME OUR MEDICINE and MEDICINE OUR FOOD!

We started to choose wisely.

Our senior year was coming fast!

RETIREMENT was around the corner.

We invested in our 401K and upgraded our homes from one to another-

Building equity in the long run.

We now live in the highest per capita income in the country –

THE NVA AREA!

We retired –

And then the COVID PANDEMIC HIT!

The 401K took a major hit-

But – the value of the home we had lived and retired into-

Started to go up and up!

This would become our nest egg!

SOLD!

We said our goodbyes to family-

And headed South to a warmer climate and a less expensive area to live.

We now had our pensions – Social Security – 401K rebuilding –

And our investment in our online business from Juice Plus.

This investment of $50.00 was the best thing we ever did –

It gave us a residual income – monthly!

And we could take it wherever we went as long as we had the computer and the internet.

PLUS – The research proved that we got what we wanted –

To age as healthily as we could –

Was published!

Our retirement journey brought us here!

We had this home built –

All on one level –

I got my wish list of a covered, shaded front porch-

Sherry got her office!

To this day, she continues to run her internet business.

Warm weather – close to numerous friends –

Golfing – entertainment and two beaches!

This home is large enough to house family and friends-

Yet all one level –

And the costs per month –

Allow us to live comfortably in retirement.

To this day, we have residual income.

And a new product – a POWDER that mixes with water –

That provides 30 fruits and vegetables to absorb into the bloodstream,

Nutrients that our bodies need daily!

Now full-blown retirement –

Here we sit on the beach in July 2024 for our 75th birthdays.

For over twenty years –

We have journeyed with this supplement-

To age healthily.

As an income to help in our retirement –

Good Day!

Early in our life together –

I dream of living near the beach!

We went on vacation to the Outer Banks!

The shores of New Jersey-

Florida and Virginia.

We even went to Myrtle Beach!

But- we always knew in the waning days of the week –

We would pack up and head back home!

That was the bummer –

Back to reality!

So – after we both retired –

And the Pandemic caused the 401K to go way down-

But the housing market expanded, and the price of our home went up

We sold, cashed in, and headed South!

After nine months of renting a condo on a lake in North Myrtle Beach-

We moved into our newly built home in Ocean Isle Beach –

Cameron Woods Community – N.C.

We were still close to NMB- 16 miles –

Shopping –

The hospital and doctors.

When you are our age –

That is important, –

As is the Dentist and eye doctor.

Entertainment is thirty to sixty minutes away.

All the nearby beaches are ten to thirty minutes away.

Here – we sit on OIB – ten minutes from our home.

In July 2024, with family,

We celebrated our 75th. birthdays!

Our home is designed to provide space-

For all of them.

We are for the most part –

Out of the snow, ice, and very cold weather.

Neither of us likes the cold and is not winter sports savvy!

We can step outside in our driveway to observe the sunrise.

It is green year-round –

We can grow our TOWER GARDEN-

Year-round on our back patio!

We try to see the grandkids as much as we can, and they come down to our home!

We are well into our SENIOR YEARS-

And twenty years ago –

We searched and found a way to age as healthily-

As we possibly could!

We found this supplement,

With published research that proves it does what it says!

I have not missed a day in over TWENTY YEARS!

Sherry has always had trouble swallowing pills or capsules!

And this past year, they introduced a powder to mix with water.
She can sip or drink it as she wants.

It is very simple –

Put the powder in a glass of water-

Mix it up – it tastes like FRUIT punch!

And you immediately get the nutrients into your bloodstream-

All THIRTY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES!

It is well known in the world of health and nutrition.

Sold in the USA and in twenty-seven countries worldwide!

LOL – OLD TIME GOLF!

We decided twenty years ago –

To pay for our orders –

To become partners in Juice Plus.

$50.00 a year – and have our own website –

This first step, within a couple of months,

Pays for both of our journeys into healthy aging as SENIORS!

It has also provided us with a supplemental income to help with Social Security, pension, and 401K!

POSITIVE OUTLOOKS –

Today, we are aging as healthily as we can.

If you would like an EMAIL or PHONE NUMBER-

Then simply go to Sherry’s Website!

It was a game-changer for us in both health and retirement!

Because of all the above –

The “KINDRED SPIRIT” mailbox.

We are now into a new year –

Yet this staple of a couple of HIPPIES –

Decades and decades ago –

Continues on –

New folks walk the mile and a half of the beach to sit and write their thoughts.

All these years – storm after storm –

And it continues – years of notebooks and writings!

Situated on the far end of SUNSET BEACH ( known as Bird Island)-

There are two benches –

The mailbox with a pencil-pen and a notebook inside!

And on the dune behind it –

Sits a large piece of driftwood –

With a plaque dedicating this site to those two hippies all those years ago.

Can you imagine the two of them lugging all the materials down the beach for two miles –

To install the mailbox –

Creating a myth – the storyline is endless.

Today, you can walk this and rest on a bench –

Gazing out to sea –

And write your thoughts in a notebook that for all these years and notebooks –

Have been preserved for future generations to read and study!

A way of life that both of us grew up in!

Give thanks for peace, love, and caring.

Not a bad way to live your life.

This past year, Sherry finally got a supplement that did not involve pills or capsules!

She has always had a hard time swallowing either one.

But – for over TWENTY YEARS –

She has taken the SUPPLEMENT JUICE PLUS!

Those capsules with nutrients –

Went directly into the bloodstream!

Today – The SUPER FOOD POWDER by JUICE PLUS-

Does the same –

A powder mixed with water and tastes like FRUIT punch! A WIN!

You too can do the same.

Just follow on her website for the research – what it has proven to do –

And the USA and Twenty-Plus countries it is sold in!

When I started writing these blogs!

I will keep them positive – good thoughts – humor and laughter –

WELL-WELL-WELL!!!! Have you made your New Year’s Resolution?

Mine is to enjoy each and every day to the plus!

I gave up losing weight-

Instead, I want to be happy!

Today, we are where we want to be.

LOL – this can be very true!

I make lists of things to do-

I keep a daily calendar of “STUFF” coming up!

I know what day of the week it is by

  1. The fact that church is on Sunday-
  2. Garbage goes outside on Tuesday evening.
  3. Wednesday- the garbage is picked up.
  4. Monday – Wednesday – Friday -the recycles can be taken care of.
  5. And walking the beach could be any day it does not rain! LOL

COFFEE – I look forward to COFFEE each morning!

One cup is all I drink-

Sometimes I drink tea!

But – COFFEE is my tiny pleasure.

I do not drink WINE – or HARD STUFF!

I occasionally have a beer. Light beer – not IPA!

I do not smoke or chew-

I drink mainly ice water.

When I do have a draft beer, it is a local called “RED OAK”!

So – “HAPPY NEW YEAR’S” for me –

It’s mainly being with family, friends, music, songs, and a hug at midnight!

Kind of boring – but that is what it is!

Our dear friends for decades and decades.

Now – we – Shery and I – are the older seniors!

But we still enjoy the friendships of these folks over the years.

Golfing – music and laughter.

To many more good times to come!

Memories are made of songs sung and laughter –

To be enjoyed for a lifetime.

FRIENDSHIPS are for life-

WE ARE BLESSED!

A memory of little Taylor I shall always have.

To each and every one of you –

Across the USA and across the WORLD –

“HAPPY NEW YEAR” from us to you.

You are what makes this blog –

FAMILY – FRIENDS – PEOPLE-

Papa’s World – Beach dreams and living life!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

The Ocean Isle Beach pier!

We always dreamed of beach living.

While we are on the mainland –

We are close enough to drive anytime we wish-

And walk the sand and surf!

I remember vacations where I wished ed did not have to leave.

Those were wishful thoughts!

On the long drives back from vacations –

I always thought “ONE DAY”!

Now, when we walk or sit on the sand and listen to the surf-

And we ourselves watch as the vacation families change on check-out and check-in day-

We are now in our dream and happy place.

It is hard to believe that it was five years ago that we sold our forever home and moved South.

Today – this is our neighborhood.

Already, people have sold and moved on.

We have met new neighbors and said goodbye to old ones.

There are many second homes in this area.

Meaning the folks come and go each month.

But – except for trips back to see family-

We are the constants in what is now our retirement home.

Growing into this life –

Aging as healthily as we can.

My one thing I wanted in a new home!

A front porch where I could sit in the shade and watch and greet folks as they went by!

Our home is large enough to have folks and family stay –

Yet on one floor easy to maintain.

We have almost all of the landscaping the way we want it!

I no longer mow and trim –

But we grow plants and flowers and battle the Deer from eating them!

This is home – where we live.

Friends are nearby, and we see them all!

Friends for decades and decades!

We live but 38 miles from them, and we visit often back and forth, and play golf!

JULY – 2024- on OIB with family –

Celebrating our 75th birthdays.

We are now seniors in the years we have spent on this earth.

But over twenty plus years ago –

We started searching for something – a food supplement –

That had published research that proved what it claimed.

We found it at NBC for Your Health in Washington, D.C.

This is what we have taken for over twenty years!

To age into our SENIOR YEARS – HEALTHY!

And now you can drink it instead of swallowing capsules!

Think of RED FRUIT PUNCH – it is powered by nutrients and water-

Tastes to me like FRUIT punch!

If any of this is of interest –

GO TO SHERRY’S WEBSITE – INFORMATION AND RESEARCH IS THERE-

ALONG WITH HER EMAIL AND PHONE NUMBER.

IT HAS BEEN SOLD IN THE USA FOR FORTY YEARS AND IN 27 COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

In our SENIOR years – we VOLUNTEER –

Once a month – for our church – Saint Luke’s Lutheran Church-

We volunteer for our church on Saturday-

At the Food Pantry!

Sometimes this also involves a Thursday night of packaging for Saturday morning.

Saturday usually goes from 8 am ( if I am on parking)to noon.

From mid-May to mid-October –

We volunteer for the Protection of-

Sea Turtles for Ocean Isle Beach!

During that time, one or both of us walk the East end of the beach for signs of a Sea Turtle laying her eggs.

Sherry is also on a 24-hour one day per week team verification .

At any time during that time period – (midnight Wednesday to midnight Thursday)

She can and has been called out to find the nest and verify or move it according to the tide lines.

We also work to set up and take down for the weekly MONDAY TURTLE TALK!

We are on one of the teams that sit on the nests to monitor until they hatch!

We are also on standby if any team needs help!

Sherry works the booth at the Oyster festival to help raise money –

As we are a volunteer organization,

And need to raise funds to exist.

We also collect food at our Community Center to take to the food pantry.

Ocean Isle Beach Causeway.

And our front porch sign!

We choose to live here because it is middle ground to two beaches-

Big box stores –

Where we lived for nine months in North Myrtle Beach.

Over thirty golf courses.

Entertainment and many fine places to eat and enjoy coastal views!

Memories from the past!

Little Bode leaning forward to look at his sisters and cousins.

Maddy to far right-

Next is Ella and then Sarah!

Taylor – Cassidy and Bode!

Someday in the future I would like to get a picture of when they are older like this!

When the twins were little –

Taylor and Cassidy helping Papa bag leaves back in Brambleton, Va.

Past memories I cherish of past times!

Each and every day I count one more day as a Blessing!

Sherry and Papa- relaxing at the beach – our dream come true in our SENIOR YEARS!

In JULY – 2024- our family helped us celebrate our 75th birthdays at the beach!

We are well into our SENIOR YEARS!

But TWENTY PLUS years ago –

We started search to find a SUPPLEMENT that had published studies and research-

That helped us age as healthy into our SENIOR YEARS AS we possibly could.

After extensive looking –

We found JUICE PLUS!

This supplement provides 30 fruits and vegetables nutrients that go directly into the blood stream.

I have never missed a day in TWENTY plus years.

Sherry has always had a problem swallowing pills or capsules.

This year they marketed a new product that when mixed with water –

And tastes like FRUIT punch –

Does exactly what the capsules do!

After released –

Here it is featured in –

HEALTHY LIVING-HEALTHY PLANET-

NATURAL AWAKENING – HARMONIOUS LIVING!

JUICE PLUS SUPER FOOD POWDER-

She now drinks this everyday instead of the capsules!

They also have GUMMIES for anyone who wants them and –

A PROTIEN SHAKE CALLED – COMPLETE in FRENCH VANILLA and DUTCH CHOCOLATE!

We are aging into our senior years as healthy as we can,

Staying active – volunteering and eating healthy and continuing to take our JUICE PLUS!

In the past TWENTY PLUS YEARS –

We have traveled the country in our JUICE PLUS BUSINESS!

Sherry and I became “PARTNERS” early on.

It was a way to save money on the product-

Which, after reading the studies that were published-

Proved that this SUPPLEMENT was the real deal!

We had searched and searched for a nutrient that would help us age as healthily –

As we could into our SENIOR YEARS!

We found that it went into the bloodstream immediately.

And enhanced several key factors in aging.

All this was years ago, and I have never missed a day in all those years.

I am now closer to 80 than 70!

Now, Sherry has always had a problem swallowing a pill or capsule.

But she persisted in the Capsules and managed.

Recently, the company developed a powder!

And it tastes just like FRUIT punch to me!

Mixed with water and you can sip or just drink it!

It also puts the nutrients of 30 fruits and vegetables directly into your bloodstream!

JULY 2024- Here we are celebrating our 75th. birthdays!

On a week with our family at the beach.

AGING HEALTHY INTO OUR SENIOR YEARS!

Our JUICE PLUS family that has supported us all these years!

Our grandchildren have all taken this for most of their lives.

They are healthy –

And we know they get the nutrients of 30 fruits and vegetables every day into their bloodstream!

Now – well into our SENIOR YEARS –

We feel the best is yet to come.

We are active- walking and volunteering for several organizations.

YES- IT IS!!!!!

Oh, to have these days back again!

Here – the twins – Cassidy and Taylor –

Back when they dressed alike-

That is not the same today!

It was at this age that they would help me with the Fall cleanup!

Bagging leaves!

They would help and then play hide and seek in the piles of leaves!

Those days are gone, but the memories linger on!

My good thought!

My brother Roger –

Gone but not forgotten.

We spent a considerable amount of time with him over the last ten years of his life.

Memories I cherish!

The Causeway Bridge to Ocean Isle Beach.

This is just ten minutes from our home in Cameron Woods Community!

We are often on the island –

On the beach, at the park, or at the community center.

One of the reasons we decided to live here!

Sherry has always had problems with swallowing capsules or pills!

Now, Juice Plus has come out with a powder that you just mix with water.

It is red and to me tastes like FRUIT PUNCH!

It has the same exact results as the capsules for your body!

It is easy to take with you –

And has all of FORTY STUDIES –

Published – that proves what it says it does.

Here we are – JULY-2024- celebrating with family –

Our 75th BIRTHDAYS!

Over twenty years ago –

We searched and found a food supplement –

JUICE PLUS –

That was research that proved what it did to your body.

In those twenty-plus years –

I have never missed a day!

Finding a supplement to help you age healthily into your senior years –

It was and is a homerun for us.

During this time –

Sherry became a CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH and a PARTNER in the JUICE PLUS COMPANY!

Mostly to help pay for our products!

She was given her own website all those years ago.

Her EMAIL and PHONE NUMBER are there.

My mother Mary’s parents.

Nora and David.

My middle name is David-

He passed before I was born, but my grandma lived with us as I was growing up!

They had ELEVEN children!

During the depression –

He would take and feed the neighbors from his farm!

Family from the past.

TRUE!!!!

The three youngest grandkids came to visit when we lived in a condo in Ocean Keyes –

In North Myrtle Beach!

Creating so many fond memories from the past!

On our wedding day –

June 25th. 1982!

WOW – THAT WENT FAST!!!!!

Papa – with our friends Cindy and Buck –

In Northern California.

They were our neighbors back in Portville, N.Y.

We now live some 38 miles from them in N.C.

We are still friends after all these years-

And have traveled the world on vacations with them!

FRIENDS FROM THE PAST AND TO THIS PRESENT DAY!

A VERY GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

Friends – Cindy, Dottie, and Sherry.

Decades and decades of friendships!

The smiles tell it all!

In July of 2024 –

Our family helped us celebrate our turning 75 years old!

Here – we are at OIB on the sand by the beach.

Over twenty years ago –

We started to search for something that would help us age healthily into our senior years!

We found the research – published in Journals –

That proved what this supplement would do once you ingest it!

It goes directly into the bloodstream –

And carries an NSA verification for professional athletes.

It is the Winter and Summer Olympic teams supplement.

Over twenty years ago, we made this choice and have never missed a day!

I still take the CAPSULES –

But – they produced a powder that is made into a liquid with water that Shery drinks every day!

She has difficulty swallowing capsules or any pills.

In those early years, we decided to save money and pay for the product –

By becoming a partner in the company –

Whish, in addition to the USA –

It is sold in over 25 countries!

Today, she still helps out people –

Looking for health and nutrition.

When you become a partner –

The Covid Pandemic – It still amazes me that some people did not take this seriously-

And refused to wear masks!

All around us, people were really sick.

Here we had to stock up on groceries –

It became just a habit and was no big deal!

Although I went months without a haircut-

Reminded me of my days way back in the 70s –

Riding my motorcycle with long hair! LOL

The date – June 25th. 1982-

Our wedding day.

My oh my-

The time has gone by so fast.

Kids are all grown up, and grandchildren have graduated from college!

Hard to believe that great-grandchildren are possible in the future!

It has been a long ride, and I have enjoyed every moment of it!

The innocence before they get older.

Love this time of life!

At my age – it could be me! LOL!!!!

It never gets old with old friends.

BOB and PAM!

Bob and I went to grade school and High School together.

Now they will be nearby for a year –

Testing out the area.

They have been RVING the past six plus years!

Friends are priceless!

Our friends have this sign near their front door! LOL!!!

For three golfers who just play for fun –

Cindy – Sherry and I –

Playing a scramble-

Carded a nine-hole even par!

Proud of this in my senior years!

In July 2024 – Sherry and I –

Celebrated our 75th. birthdays with family on OIB!

Back in the early 2000s –

We decided to search for and find a supplement with nutrients –

To provide us with nutrition to age as healthily as we can into our senior years.

After much research, we found the one that has published research –

That proves what it does to the bloodstream.

We have never missed a day since then.

It is taken by the Winter and Summer Olympic teams.

Professional athletes take it as it is,

NSA certified.

When tested in their bloodstream –

They pass the tests.

Since then –

Sherry has obtained a “CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH” through Dr. Sears.

In the beginning –

She decided to help pay for the Supplement by becoming a partner with her own website!

www.https://sitizsimmons.juiceplus.com

On this site –

Are her EMAIL and PHONE NUMBER!

If you want to communicate.

Or you can order as we did –

Our journey has led us to our SENIOR YEARS –

Taking this has helped us age as healthily as we can

Taylor – our granddaughter –

And their puppy, Marley, some years ago!

She has a way with animals.

She has ridden horses since she was about four years old.

Today, she has trained Marley to do so many commands-

Marley is big now –

And Taylor is still riding horses and training Marley!

My Alma Mater, where I graduated from High School!

OTTO-ELDRED in Duke Center, Pa.

We were bused some 8 miles to school.

I attended seventh through twelfth grade here!

Many memories and friendships.

I still am in contact with classmates from that year!

While I have not been back there in years-

My memories have not faded!

GOOD ADVICE!

For the past twenty years –

We have attended a Health and Nutrition for Juice Plus.

Every six months across the country.

A big part of our life is pursuing health into our senior years!

So many memories-

So many friendships.

A GOOD THOUGHT FOR TODAY!

Here is Sherry teeing off!

We continue to play golf-

Finding to be outside –

In the fresh air –

Always looking for that one shot-

To bring us back again! LOL

Sarah – now in college-

Pursuing her dreams!

A talented artist-

Funny – outgoing!

Her life is beginning!

More memories to be made.

Here we celebrated our 75th. birthday –

In our senior years!
