Papa’s World – going on another road trip – friends

April 6, 2020March 16, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

One of our adventures- Sherry Fitzsimmons – Cindy North McBride – William McBride and Tom Fitzsimmons on the inter coastal water way off North Carolina.

For the last 12 years – we have taken trips together – every other year in most cases.

We have been to Spain – Gibraltar – Morocco – we have toured N.H. – Mass. and Maine. We have been to the Niagara Falls , Ontario Canada wine region – tasting wine and brews !

We have revisited our roots back in NWPA and SWNY – playing a week of golf on the courses we played years and years ago. You see – we were neighbors and friends 37 years ago ! Then they moved South to N.C. and later we transferred South to NVA – all the while staying in close contact – visiting on vacations.

We have visited Oahu together- covering the whole island in 10 days.

Playing golf in the mountains close to where they filmed Jurassic Park. We have stayed at their house in N.C. and played the courses around them.

Buck ( William ) and Tom riding the inter
coastal water way.

We are planing and talking future trips – ( IRELAND ) back to our ancestors. Maybe a trip to Nashville – and my thoughts on Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Tenn. with a log cabin in the mountains !

Now – we have committed to a trip out West – the far West as in Northern California – a drive and stay trip for 7 or 8 days ! Making our list pf places to see and when we get together – piecing all the information down – getting excited !

We have now been retired for 7 years ( Sherry ) 6 years me. Sherry had a sales job ( outside ) – all of NVA – for the company she worked for for 32 years. The traffic and day to day stress was more than enough – so she started a part time job through The Juice Plus Company. When it grew – she decided at which point it was large enough to retire. At age 63 – she did it !

Today – we are able to both be retired – and will be celebrating – in the next two months – our birthdays – the big 70 !!!!

Back in NWPA- Sherry’s home – the Knizua via duct – bridge.

Red woods – Napa valley – Reno – Lake Tahoe – Sequoia’s – San Francisco – Alcatraz – Yosemite – Sonoma – Berkley – Glamping –

Just some of the things on our list – we shall see and compare. Close friends through all these years – still trying to get our other close friends to take a trip with us.

At Vanish Brewery near our home in NVA – October fest !

Where ever we go – when ever we go – there are laughs – there are adventures and sometimes golf ( we give no strokes as they are too good )

Sherry and Cindy – always something with their phones!

These two will always laugh and make us laugh – that is why we get along so well. Later this Summer – another road trip – to Northern California. A trip worth waiting for – another adventure in the making.

Stay tuned – waiting – excited – and NO STROKES – they should give us strokes! LOL

Papas World – getting ready – Spring is here – Tower Gardens

April 5, 2020March 16, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

Good morning!
We returned from Florida
the weather was great
saw my first robin
and decided to put
our Tower Gardens together
and start our seedlings!

I unpacked and uncovered the two Tower Gardens

that last November I cleaned up and put into storage!

One was taken apart and covered up and stored in the patio.

The other taken apart and put on shelves in the garage.

The Tower garden in the patio.
After I cleaned up the patio
from the mild winter we had.

This year I said to Sherry –

lets spit them up – one in the enclosed patio

and the other one on the back patio!

They got so big – that it was difficult working

all around them to pick cucumbers and tomato’s!

This one will be all different lettuces – herbs – chard

some bee flowers – mostly leafy plants!

This one will be cucumbers – tomato’s – peppers –

celery – radish – plus others –

I needed space for the vines to spread out.

We also are going to plant potato’s in large pots

like you see in the background.

I did this for the first time last year

and had 30 or 40 potato’s – small ones but tasty!

Our indoor Tower Garden
which we have done for the last five years!

Our indoor Tower Garden – at the end of January –

just before we left for our month in Florida –

We cleaned up and removed all plants!

It served us from end of October to end of January.

Had we not left – it still would of been producing!

This one has a built in timer and grow lights at the top.

Since it is in the garage and space is limited

No cucumbers or tomato’s!

We eat greens everyday !

Here are our growing pods
and all the seeds we are planting
we also plant what we call BEE FLOWERS

We have started our seedlings – which will take three or four weeks

under grow lights from the Tower Garden in the garage,

We have started various plantings –

38 plants total to start.

We have room for 56 plants!

But – even selecting everyday from these Towers

We can not eat it all!

We give some to family and some to neighbors!

Our neighbor next door has one – and she can not eat it all!

One – if planted properly –

can feed a family produce so that they buy very little from the store!

If any at all!

Sherry and Tom

WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY!

I will take pictures and update as we go along.

March is a funny month!

70 one day and maybe snow the next day!

Papa’s World – growing – growing – growing – veggies!

April 3, 2020March 9, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

For the past seven or eight years –

has it been that long ?

We have been tending our gardens –

for twelve months a year –

inside and outside !

Welcome to Papa’s World –

today –

what we grow

what we harvest

what we eat !

Somewhere in this jungle are TWO TOWER GARDENS !

And this is after Sherry pruned a lot off !

We are ankle deep in squash –

and tons of tomato’s –

We have eaten all our lettuce – since May 1st.

And we are replanting them – eight pods !

Yes – we even grow Celery and Beets !

Our growing season is a full twelve months –

because at the end of November –

We take these down – clean up –

soak them for two days in vinegar and water

And plant in our inside Tower Garden we have in the garage!

Thus – we eat twelve months of the year fresh –

no pesticide Produce !

The main chore you have to do – is make sure water is in the base !

In the heat wave of Summer – I add water each day –

and only rarely do I add the Nutrients !

I have a RV filter on my water hose –

And now I do not even test the PH !

We have installed as a company – THOUSANDS of Tower Gardens –

across the United States –

In the schools –

With a developed curriculum –

( most schools have money for such projects )

In schools to teach children in a hands on gardening

to grow their own food !

My wife’s ( Sherry ) team –

called TEAM GENERATIONS

has been responsible

for the installation of over 100 Tower Gardens in our NVA area !

Our success in growing has been where we grow them –

catching the first morning rays of the Sun –

and there after another 4 to 6 hours.

As the Tower Gardens looked three weeks after planting –

Eating healthy – knowing what you eat – no pesticides –

growing with no weeds –

no dirt –

just water –

air and nutrients –

Teaching in the classroom with hands on growing food –

THE TOWER GARDEN – part of the JUICE PLUS FAMILY !

Papa’s World – ” FENNY ” the love bird – Sarah’s bird

March 14, 2020February 14, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

This week – we are babysitting –

well ” BIRD SITTING ” !

Welcome to our World – just another day in my life !

The Myers family went on vacation –

and when you are reading this –

they have already gone come back !

So – we are taking care of Sarah’s Love Bird called FENNY !

I have no idea if it is a HE or She –

But I do know he or she misses her !

We played a recording of Sarah’s voice

and he or she reacted right away.

When we walked away –

he or she started chirping like crazy !

Of course Fenny just loves to tear paper apart –

and there are all these toys hanging from inside the cage.

Our instructions were multitude from when he or she is naughty –

To when to give he or she a treat –

to a bath using a spray bottle

( think we will skip that one )

Being the youngest in the Myers family –

She is also the first to have a pet !

Mike – the Daddy –

can not be around any kind of animal –

He is highly allergic to them and can’t breath.

But – this seems to be working out just fine.

Now – I am not much on birds –

but I find myself stopping –

and whistling to him or her ! LOL

He or she cocks her or his head –

and after I am done –

will chirp back !

This week will be different –

When I go upstairs between 8:30 and 9:00 PM.

I put the cover over the cage –

He or She settles right down –

Instruction number eight

was his or her bedtime is 8:30 PM.

All in all – so far it has been interesting –

He or she whistles or chirps –

I whistle or chirp back –

We both seem to have come to a understanding of each other !

My thank you note to Sarah –

thank you for sharing Fenny –

He or she came into my life –

LIFE IS A GIFT –

LIVE EACH DAY

AS A THANK YOU NOTE !

Papa’s World – and SHE says I can’t hear !

March 1, 2020February 6, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

It all starts with ” What did you say ” ?

As I gradually get older –

I find certain words sound alike !

It is not that I do not hear them –

But my brain tries to understand just which one to select ! LOL

And that also goes for when I watch a movie –

a TV show –

Anything that has to do with HEARING –

Not when I READ !

That is different – I know what I read !

Even though I do not hear the right word –

I tend to get the message !

So – I ask –

“What was that ” ?

Or – ” Pardon me ” ?

That way – I am sure that I heard it right !

Funny how that works –

Because most times –

when it is repeated –

then it comes across the right way !

EXACTLY – there is a way – you just have to try to find it !

So – when we watch TV together – or a movie –

We BOTH look at each other –

“WHAT WAS THAT THEY SAID ” we say to one another ?

” DON’T KNOW – TURN IT UP ” !

Must be WE BOTH can not understand the WORD !

FUNNY -and I thought it was just ME !!!

LOL

And then – I get the mail –

And one is addressed to me –

I open it up –

” HEARING AIDS ” !

I look and she laughs

” IT WASN’T ME SHE SAYS” !

LOL

Juice Plus company has come out with a new stream lined

Tower Garden and we bought one!

The tank on the bottom has gone from 20 gallons ofwater

To 13 gallons and there now is a float –

That will tell you when to add water!

The grow lights
with built in timer
allow you to grow all Winter
We have ours in the garage
where the temperature
stays around 50 to 55 degrees.

The base also has wheels – no need to buy the wheel cart!

Just screw them in!

The top has been redesigned to allow smaller pods to grow Herbs!

The bottom remains the same for your

Tomato’s – lettuce – Cukes – strawberries – beans – peas –

celery – peppers – squash – melons –

most anything that does not grow on a tree!

All the nutrients
and testing for
PH in your water
and instructions
come with the order

The nutrients are included- enough to get you through

the first year.

All other accessories
are included

You will not have to buy anything else

And the best part –

You can set up a 12 month payment plan

with no interest!

All you need is a credit card

A GREEN THUMB!
No soil – no weeds!

We have two of the bigger units for Summer outside

They provide us with all that we can eat!

WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY!

Papa’s World- heart felt thanks – over 700 views!

February 5, 2020January 31, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

Where do I begin –

first – my blog yesterday on –

“Stand by me ”

“ELDRED ” drew over 700 views !

That is amazing from a little town with just 800 population !

I grew up in this little town –

at Halloween time – almost every house –

I knew who they were and their names !

I helped my child hood friend –

Brent Wood – deliver papers –

That was when he bought his go cart and we would ride around town !

I was truly amazed yesterday –

I would check in every once in a while –

And I realized right away –

A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE READING AND SHARING !

The last I counted –

it had been shared 15 times !

Back when I was growing up –

this was the sentiment of growing up here

At least that was my impression .

All us kids –

from each end of town and all the streets in between –

It was a real friendship –

heading for the park to play TACKLE FOOTBALL –

Choosing up sides –

Then – the creek by the park –

with all those trails into the woods toward Park Avenue –

When I was young –

I did not go far into the woods –

Instead – just playing in the water with one eye

always on those ferns and trees !

And I guess –

that the feeling still exists today judging by the response –

From people who left years ago –

yet still consider this home.

I am grateful –

THANK YOU !

I have many more memories and I shall attempt to put them into a blog.

I always wanted to write a book –

My wife Sherry suggested I go back to blogging –

That way –

we could save them all in one place –

have a history so to speak –

A place where future generations can go and read and see pictures.

Thank you for your support –

Thank you for your comments –

THANK YOU – ALL 700 PLUS – you made my day !

Papa’s World – Mr. OWL – and the two TOWER GARDENS !

February 3, 2020January 31, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

We started them the end of April – first week of May !

We had grown all Winter in our garage with grow lights !

Now – it was time to set up the other two – and begin outside.

TOWER GARDENS – no green thumb needed !

After less than two weeks – we were eating lettuce –

Then it was Memorial day –

and we had herbs – lettuce – edible plants –

And you can see our GERANIUM’S – these are about five years old –

Pull them out in Fall – shake them off –

put in a bucket – hang from garage ceiling –

Then in Spring – clean off dead parts and replant !

BINGO – you can reuse them year to year !

Today – they are blooming – we have lots of tomato’s ( green )

And SQUASH – EGG PLANTS – LETTUCE – Different herbs – edible flowers

And numerous other salad plants !

I have added cages and other support poles -trying to keep the SQUASH

Out of the yard so I can mow !

We eat every night from the Tower’s –

Salads – soon we will have tomato’s.

Then no more produce from store.

I have a home made cage –

made out of 1/2 inch PVC pipe.

And since the weather has gotten hot – 85 to 90 -Sun –

I add water each day –

about four inches –

I could wait – but – I do not want to forget –

and let the pump run dry.

There is a pump – fish tank pump –

in the bottom – that pumps water up through the middle –

and then that drips down to the roots hanging in the tower.

As far as TONIC NUTRIENTS –

I add a cup every 7 to 10 days !

The TONIC is made up of minerals from the Earth –

And the plants thrive on it !

The TOWER GARDENS are part of the JUICE PLUS family –

We have been ” TOWERING” for almost EIGHT YEARS !

Eating what we grow with

NO PESTICIDES and NO WEEDING !

Just keep the water in the base –

add minerals when needed –

And pick your dinner daily.

Mr OWL – more of a decoration than anything – sitting there –

Peering out threw the lettuce leaves –

Although we have rabbits – squirrels – deer – fox – birds –

They seem to leave it alone –

We also have around six hours of Sun light –

But we have moved them to different places and they have grown.

I hope this has been helpful for those interested in gardening –

Who do not like to weed –

And to those who want to know exactly what they are eating.

You do not need a green thumb –

we certainly do not !

A brand new week –

a test on Monday for me at the hospital –

Has to do with my heart attack

and by-passes five and one half years ago !

Then – my yearly follow up with my doctor on my CPAP –

but walking and scheduling all doctor visits ! LOL

Also – in the coming days –

we get our first SUMMER GUESTS !

I see card games –

exploring and golf coming up !

Our friends from back home –

Steve and Elaine –

will come for a long weekend.

We try to do something with all our friends every four to six months!

And once again – we will try to beat Steve and Sherry !

Of course it might also be GUYS vs. GALS –

Either way –

it will be fun.

Our other friends will be stopping in a week or so after this.

And then it will be over –

friends will be gone –

and we will embark upon our next adventure !

Living life –

doing it my way –

And we are able to do this –

Because we had a PLAN ” B” !

HEALTH & WEALTH started here.

In retirement –

we would of had to downsize – moved –

It would of been a LOT different !

THIRTEEN YEARS have passed –

NO REGRETS !

Today – Monday or Thursday or the weekend –

We have our Health –

and enough to survive.

What more could you ask for ?

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Welcome to Papa’s World

Thank you

Papa’s World – five and one half years – MPI TEST

January 26, 2020January 9, 2020 / Tom / 2 Comments

My heart attack occurred on 11-4-13 –

beginning a new life.

My last visit to my heart doctor –

He told me it was time to have Myocardial Perfusion Imaging test.

We would schedule it before my next appointment –

Yesterday – at 7:15 am. it began.

For the next 3 to 4 hours –

I was undergoing scans – injections –

Blood pressure readings –

treadmill and more injections and scans.

The injections were a Nuclear medicine –

to go into the heart through a IV –

and then 18 minutes of scanned picture taking while being absolutely still.

I was worried –

first – I do not like needles –

and to have something like that injected into your artery !!!

You sign a form –

some side effects may be HEART ATTACK or DEATH !

The TREAD MILL – I was all hooked up –

I had to hit a heart rate of 129 to 150 –

IT TOOK TEN MINUTES

and they increased the incline and speed every three minutes.

Had I been in a car instead of the tread mill –

I would of done just that !

I DO NOT RUN –

I DO NOT LIKE TO RUN –

I HURT MYSELF WHEN I RUN !

In the ten minutes I was on there –

I DID ONE MILE !

LORD HELP ME !!!

The last 2 .5 minutes were at a 4.2 minute mile !

I am 70 years old –

dancing is more my speed !

When I had cooled down –

she told me –

your treadmill for your age

IS VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT !!!!!

My prayers were answered –

I did not slip off –

I hung on –

And I finished it !

I had to go back a second time for a scan –

and then sit and wait.

Before I started – they told me –

if anything is wrong –

you will go upstairs

If it is all right – you go home –

I WENT HOME – all clear !

On the way home – they called me –

They had read the scans –

they could see the OLD HEART ATTACK –

THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENING !!

I was clear –

my cholesterol at my last test – 118 !!!!

WHY – WHAT -and HOW ?

WHY ?

My wife Sherry and following her schedule – and JUICE PLUS !

Those are my TWO REASONS WHY –

WHAT – healthy eating

and my supplement –

ORCHARD – GARDEN – VINEYARD and OMEGA’S

Five and one half years after my WIDOW MAKER –

I am clear –

I am me –

And that my friends is HOW I beat the odds !

I have friends out there

who have had HEART problems –

My advice –

find a partner to motivate you –

And then find a whole food supplement

with RESEARCH !

I found mine –

Papas World -Living life – one day at a time – my way.

January 24, 2020January 9, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

I am now in my 70’s – and six years ago – it almost came to a end!

Today – I am here – and have found that when you experience

a awaking such as I did –

At least in my frame of mind –

I live life one day at a time

and I am doing it my way –

With guidance from my wife!

IT IS NOT FOR ME TO QUESTION WHY

BUT FOR ME TO DO OR DIE!

That just about sums it up!

We have been married 37 years and together 38 years!

That is a long time!

When I had my heart attack – she had already changed our lifestyles.

But – for me – I had not done very well in what I ate –

drank or just in general lived!

My past caught up with me –

I had lived pretty much as this quote!

Then we changed – and I reformed –

lucky that I did – because I should of died!

A Widow Maker Heart Attack should do that!

They told me they had never seen someone

who had a massive Heart Attack – so healthy!

Made me feel good – but did not change the fact

I DID THIS TO MYSELF –

and – If I had not changed when I did

I wouldn’t be here!

Very sobering!

I learned a lesson – the hard way !

You get one chance at life –

I consider myself as having a second chance.

I am not wasting it this time –
I had my six year check up –

A nuclear test and a ultra sound

and a stress test.

I passed all with flying colors after six years!

I still have scar tissue on my heart

I have to take med’s because of the heart attack.

But – I am following the course Sherry has sent me on.

After SIX YEARS – I have no signs of hardening of the arteries!

After FOUR BY PASSES – I am well –

I AM LIVING MY SECOND LIFE CHANCE

ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

Papa’s World – How old are you ?

January 23, 2020January 8, 2020 / Tom / 3 Comments

Is it HOW OLD YOU ARE or HOW OLD DO YOU FEEL ?

All my life – I have been early to bed and early to rise !

I just can not help it –

I try to stay up –

and I try to stay in bed –

BUT – I start to fall asleep –

and then – I get my second wind –

And – that is when I can not go to sleep –

but I still wake up early !

And then – being 70 –

feeling 50 and knowing all of the above –

Puts you in the right frame of mind –

GO TO BED WHEN YOU ARE TIRED –

GET UP WHEN YOU WAKE UP –

and make the most of your day !

Works for me !

We try every day –

do not eat this –

Lets walk – get in our steps –

MOVE & MOVE

But – you age –

For most people this is natural –

But to age and feel younger –

It is so much easier to just order in –

But you know something –

I LIKE ASPARAGUS !

I enjoy cooking –

( cleaning up – not so much )

But we try every day to eat GREEN –

We try to eat healthy –

And then there are the sweets –

seems the older I get –

the more I want my cake and eat it too !

I am not much of a gummy or hard candy person –

But – put a milk chocolate covered peanut out –

beware !

What does keep us young in mind and body –

Is the interaction with our grand kids .

Watching them grow up –

Seeing them excel –

Being a part of it !

So – is the 70 now the new 50 ?

I guess it is what ever you think it to be –

In our lives –

the answer is yes –

We try to maintain

Doing that requires good eating –

exercise – ( walking)

And finding a way to get as much whole food into our bodies that we can.

We know quite well what is on that list of older than dirt –

But then again –

We also know what is on our list to age and maintain.

It is all for us

the matter of the mind –

And doing what we think is right for us –

WELCOME TO PAPA’S WORLD

Papa’s World – health – living laughter – evolving

January 22, 2020January 8, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

Living life – one day at a time –

and doing it my way ( well – her way also )

Welcome to PAPA’S World !

GOOD MORNING

This is part of my story – for it has many chapters.

I have been writing – on face book –

daily – since 2011 – EIGHT YEARS !

Sherry -my wife – said –

you write so well – but I am afraid it will get lost !

YOU HAVE TO START BLOGGING –

so we can have a place to go where we can read it !

Now – I had blogged a number of years ago and had a site –

actually two sites !

But my computer crashed

and I lost all the info –

Then a couple months ago –

with the help of a friend

Belinda Vallarino Cermola

She helped set me back up again –

and by accident –

we stumbled on my second blog site that I had lost !

Here it was –

and finding it was like looking up phone numbers –

as someone who can not see with out glasses !

But – we found it while setting up my new blog site –

livinglifedoingitmyway.blog

My criteria –

Make someone smile –

Make someone happy-

No politics –

Bring light to those who are in the dark –

And help people become as healthy as possible –

I had found only FIVE blogs on that site –

The other site is still out there someplace

with hundreds of blogs –

It was all on my computer –

and I could not remember the name or password –

Someday – I hope I can once again find it –

to recapture all those stories.

Today – I am blogging one day at a time –

I really have no idea each day what I will write about –

It just happens with a picture –

a thought – a quote –

or something that I experienced recently or during my life.

I started

and changed my format –

today – I follow my criteria –

I have now been blogging daily for the past 7 plus weeks !

In that short expanse of time –

I have been fortunate to have 55 people who have subscribed to my blog !

Most I do not know

and they are from all over the World !

This has given me the hope and confidence to continue –

Hoping to bring a change –

a good vibe –

My way to help in health –

I am evolving –

I am living my life –

doing it my way – one day at a time !

And a big hug to my best friend –

the person who encouraged me to write –

MY WIFE SHERRY !

and to Belinda – who helped me to restart –

And to all of you who read my thoughts and have joined –

It does not cost anything – you get a email every time I post !

Papa’s World – Why I take JUICE PLUS & OMEGA’S

January 20, 2020January 4, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

It has now been over 13 years since I started !

My journey began with

” NO – I DON’T NEED IT ” !

Actually I DID NEED IT –

but I did not know what I DIDN’T KNOW!

We were married on June 25 th. 1982 –

both of us ate terrible –

Smoked – drank Soda’s –

And thought we were invincible !

Little did we know

and when the time came for a change –

I KNEW LAST !

Sherry came to me and said we are making a change –

well – she was !

It took me 3 1/2 months to see it to believe it !

That is when I started taking a supplement

( whole food ) capsules !

Fruits – Veggies – Berries –

that are JUICED – Slowly dried – into a powder –

And come packaged in

RED ( fruits) known as ORCHARD BLEND –

GREEN ( veggies ) known as GARDEN BLEND

PURPLE ( berries) known as VINEYARD

And the research shows as soon as they dissolve in your stomach –

THEY GO IMMEDIATELY INTO YOUR BLOOD STREAM !

Everything is juiced including

the peels – rind – cores !

You get ALL THE NUTRIENTS !

THE CAPSULES INCLUDING THE ORANGE OMEGA’S and a smoothie

For me to be convinced

I had to SEE and READ –

NO PESTICIDES

That is just who I am.

NOW THERE ARE 36 RESEARCHES COMPLETED –

By MAJOR UNIVERSITIES & MEDICAL CENTERS & HOSPITALS

all over the WORLD !

JUICE PLUS

BRIDGE’S THE GAP BETWEEN RECOMMENDED & ACTUAL INTAKE

DOING SOMETHING –

not just thinking about it !

I have no regrets –

I will take this as long as I live.

A year ago – I started taking another product from Juice Plus –

Called OMEGA BLEND –

made not from Fish oil –

But from Algae –

which is where the fish get it from –

Thus – no worries from MERCURY !

The company also have their own Algae Farms !

When you reach your AUTUMN YEARS –

you try as hard as can to sustain a lifestyle that you have led.

You watch stairs –

you climb back up off the floor

Or gingerly kneel down on one knee –

You know when to play a game of kick ball or just pitch !

You count MICRO SECONDS

to reach the bathroom !

BUT YOU MAKE CHANGES AHEAD OF TIME –

If you want to LIVE –

If you want to MAINTAIN that lifestyle –

Then you owe it to yourself to prepare –

to research –

To read and see what this is !

Are YOU worth $3.43 a day

for FRUITS- VEGGIES – BERRIES & OMEGA’S ?

IS YOUR HEALTH a matter of dollars and cents ?

This is my story –

my reason –

my wanting to maintain –

Enjoy life – watch my grand kids grow up –

Have a life partner who is my best friend.

Best thing I ever did was start 13 years ago –

Worse thing of my life –

” NO ONE SHOWED ME 25 YEARS AGO ” !

Thank you for reading

I hope this HELPS someone out there

We have been changing lives for 12 years now

And children –

well – we help them for FREE

Papa’s World – eating healthy is not the only thing – flowers

December 15, 2019November 29, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

We walk – we eat healthy – but the mental part is also important !

A healthy body also has to have a healthy mind – at least mine does !

So – when we moved into our house thirteen years ago –

I started digging up – replanting – moving – shrubs – putting in trees

( 3 Crepe Myrtles ) and numerous rose bushes – flowers that came back year after year.

I had to dig these trees on my hands and knees – being so many rocks ! With that being said – when they bloom a bright ruby red – I just love them – and it all was worth it !

Flowers and color do a lot for my mind and peaceful thoughts.

But – as you get older – weeding kills your back – at least mine !

So – this year – I bought the mulch from the boy scouts – and actually paid them to spread it around – 25 bags !

It was well worth it and half the cost of anyone else.

These roses will bloom off and on until Fall – most everything in the beds comes up each year.

Walking home – when coming in sight of the house- gives me a great calming thought – seems like any stress just goes away –

and that is for my mental being.

Sherry always plants the planters around the house – in back -the patio and the front porch.

So – when people visit – the visual of flowers – the welcome mat – sitting on the front porch or in the enclosed patio – brings calm – that is why we do it .

Each year – in the back – we plant flowers and the Tower Gardens –

which provide our vegetables daily.

In front of these are the other two Crepe Myrtles that I hand planted – all the trees and bushes here I also planted.

Yesterday’s harvest from our strawberry patch

We also grow our own strawberry’s – enough to provide us each morning for breakfast while they last.

Living a healthy lifestyle – to reduce stress – we plant – we grow and produce vibrant colors all Spring – Summer and Fall.

We actually grow even in Winter inside our garage.

For a stress relief – try flowers – smell them – watch them grow –

it can do wonders for your mental health.

I hope this blog helps you today – #livinglifetotheplus http://www.sf.juiceplus.com

Papa’s World – ten years living life – looking ahead

December 7, 2019November 24, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

Living life – doing it my way – the name of my blog –

And that is how our life together has gone.

Phoenix TEN years ago
Juice Plus Conference

The years have passed – but we still maintain a healthy lifestyle

Traveling – helping other people –

To this day – we love our life

When you come close to passing away

at least for me

there was no flashes of my past

no profound moments

but there was a inner peace

one that just ” LIVE FOR THE MOMENT”

and be grateful for what I lived.

We could not do this without each other

Sherry – Certified Health Coach

Her health business

and my number one cheerleader

The one who keeps me healthy

11-23-19
Raleigh North Carolina
75th. Christmas Parade

Today – we gather our belongings

pack up and head home

but first a trip to the Farmers Market

then the highway.

Our next long awaited trip

in February with our second oldest grand child

a trip for her 16th. birthday

One month in the warmth of Florida

and one week for her and a trip to

Star Wars theme park.

She is a huge fan !

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

Looking ahead to the next ten years

AGING HEALTHY
