Sherry and Cindy – they decided to walk the 18 holes – Sherry got a new pull cart!
I actually believe these 27 holes compare to the best in the area including Myrtle Beach!
On this day – the flowers were in full bloom and reminded me of Augusta!
Almost every hole was like this!
A view of the driving range from the outdoor patio of the clubhouse!
Sherry Cindy and Buck – having a beverage on the outdoor patio after 18 holes!
On one of the tee boxes – everything was blooming!
We have played this course many times over the years!
They have called this home for at least twenty years.
Having bought and sold and built here many times.
This is the main reason we came South to this general area.
Our new home will be about 40 minutes away –
so daily golf is available!
Sherry on the patio of their home that overlooks one of the large waterways on the course!Cindy on the same patio of their home looking in a different direction from Sherry!Cindy was to the left – Sherry to my right and Buck straight across from me – looking at the course across the water!
This is the second home they have built here – both in this water area and both had like views –
only this one is downsized from the other one.
Buck and I on the tee box about to tee off!
We – Buck and I – did our usual scramble – and we had a record for us – we shot a 39 with a double boogie the last hole!
If you are ever in N.C. just South of Leland and Wilmington – this is a public course – 27 holes – stop in and make a tee time – it will surprise you and you will love it – one of the best around the area!
Cindy and Sherry – one will walk and then change up for the other to drive.
We started off in the rain – but the forecast said it would move on out –
and the sun and warmth would be there!
AND THAT IS JUST WHAT IT DID!
One of the views – we had to cross over here – but it was not a busy road.
Are there Gators here? YES THERE ARE!
Sherry Buck Cindy about to putt!
We played well – Buck and I – enough so that they beat us by one stroke the first nine and we won by three stokes the back nine. Do not be fooled by how close they made it – they are always right down the middle and second shot is either on the green or close to it! They are good when in a scramble!
We bought what is called the first tee card – we all have them and it allows us to play over 32 courses
at reduced rates – all are on the N.C. side of the border – and our new house is right in the middle!
Sherry going for the green on a par three over the marsh.
Cindy going for the green over the marsh.
I did not like this tee box as it was like a practice mat.
The only part of the whole course that they did this on.
You could not put a tee in – only if you found a seam.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World.
It was a fun day – and because it was cart path only –
it took us five hours to play and we did not finish up until 6:00 PM.
But – we finally beat them on the back nine by three strokes and it was hard doing that!

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

Before I showed her a new stance – moving the ball back and then letting her swing take it!
I did not get a picture after – I was too busy trying to keep up with her shots! LOL
The pier in the distance – we went in and grab something to eat and just sat and enjoyed the view!
We knew Ocean Isle Beach was a eight minute drive from the new house- without heavy traffic.
Now – it was time to see just how far the other beach – Sunset Beach – was from the new house.
So – we drove and it was 13 minutes!
About five minutes longer in no traffic!
So – there you are – two beaches to choose from – and if we want – we can go back to NMB –
some 30 minutes away – with no traffic.
We checked out the parking as we understand that in the busy part – this could determine where we go!
They have pay parking – which you can pay a set price for the year –
and – like the other beach – off the road parking –
but we were told to be careful on that – if you do not do it right –
like blocking the bike path or sidewalk –
you will get a fine!
The other direction on Sunset Beach which we were told was voted one of the top ten beaches in the country! And it really is nice – time will tell if we like it more that either of the other two beaches!
It was a very windy day on the sand – so we decided not to walk the beach –
but rather see where we can walk among the streets and houses.
We did find a path to walk – while not going on the sand –
and could see we could easily get our three mile walk in!

Sherry – too much wind – another entrance too the beach – CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH!
A little over 10 years ago – they came along – so tiny – early – because they determined one was taking all the nutrition.
And – the day they decided this – just happened to be their mother’s birthday!
That is right – mother and daughters now celebrate the same day birthdays!
IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME!
Cassidy and Taylor – they were so small with Taylor weighing some 13 oz. more!
Does not sound like much – but they both weighed some 3 lbs. plus oz. !
Through out life for them – Taylor has always been the bigger of the two.
They were so darn cute – playing hide and seek!
Cassidy is a little spit fire – Taylor more laid back!
They continue to grow this way – my thought is – Cassidy will end up taller than her mother who is 5′ 6″ tall – and Taylor is taking after her MorMor ( Sherry 5’9″) and will be close to 6’0 when all is said and done! She already is over 5′ at ten years old! Look at Cassidy’s socks!
Taylor and Bode with MorMor( Sherry) Bode is going to be tall also as he is only six years old!
Sweetness – Taylor rides horses – Cassidy is the more serious type – she teaches the other two crafts.
Taylor is always ready to help her in schoolwork –
Cassidy the more daring one – you can just tell that by the picture!
Both love their MorMor and both will call her!
The little SPIT FIRE! Cassidy – ” Someday I am going to be big” she says!
She has the biggest heart – always watching over the other two – her and Bode are two peas in a pod!
Ella – our second oldest granddaughter – enrolling in Randolph College in Lynchburg Va.
We called her “TINY” as she was growing up –
Her father came up with that nickname –
Today she stands 5′ 8 1/2 ” –
Our little girl is all grown up!
Along with her entrance into the four year program – she will also play college soccer – being recruited – she had two schools to select from – and it just so happens to be cross town from the University of Lynchburg – where her sister starts on the soccer team there – and yes they will compete against one another!
Ella with her mother Debby – all three granddaughters are as tall or taller than their mother. Debby’s mother – Sherry – is 5′ 9″ – so they are most likely inheriting the Swedish genes from her.
It is a beautiful campus – nestled in the foothills surrounding Lynchburg.
The soccer field a easy walk from the dorms.
Ella with her father Mike.
She endured two injuries during her Middle school and H.S.
Both were broken bones in her feet.
One she was stepped on with a cleat
and the other she just landed wrong on it.
She lost two seasons of playing soccer
but when she did – was recruited by two different colleges.
Today she walks the path to her future!
Due to the Pandemic – her H.S. soccer season was moved from the fall to the spring.
She is about to begin playing –
Her travel soccer was played although the number of games reduced.
She competed and will move onto the next level in the Fall.
The view from the top deck and bar of Snooky’s on the beach – the other Snooky’s is situated on the ICW!
We decided after our attempt to walk the beach –
which was very windy and cold –
to drive back down the Ocean Blvd to Snooky’s!
Sherry and I brought Tammy and the little ones here when they visited.
Sarah and Debby at the table surrounded by heaters!
It was chilly out on the open patio.
We choose this because of the heaters and wanting to be out in the open
for social distancing.
Every other table was empty!
This was the last full day they would be here!
The four days have gone by so quickly.
We packed a lot into it – Mike is a teacher and could not come down.
Maddy is in college with her classes and in the middle of Spring Soccer.
Ella a senior in H.S. Debby – oldest daughter Sarah – youngest of the three – in 8 th. grade
We sat out there on the patio – when I heard Sherry exclaim ‘ THERE HE IS” pointing toward the beach!
She had read a article in the newspaper and seen the interview on TV.
A man who was dressing up as DARTH VADER in Myrtle Beach and walking up and down the beach
entertaining the children – with his Laser –
And he happened to be right here!
Sherry and Ella
Now Ella is a huge – huge Star Wars fan!
For her 16th. birthday as a present – we took her to Florida with us for a week.
And the highlight of that trip was her going to the STAR WARS park.
That was what she wanted to do forever!
DARTH VADER about to walk out on the beach!
So – they both got up – Sherry and Ella – and down the deck they went!
I went up on the top deck so I could get a clear picture of what was going on the beach!
Here Sherry and Ella are nearing DARTH VADER who is Laser fighting with a young boy!
She has Star Wars figurines from her youth – ever since she could walk and talk.
She has seen every movie – over and over again.
Ella and DARTH VADER!
This was one of her highlights of the entire trip to visit us at the beach!
And it was all by chance – we wanted lunch – we selected Snooky’s because it was close
And we knew they had heaters outside!

A few blocks North of this beach entrance – a beachfront home was moved a block from the beach!
We had watch them jacking the house up on steel I beams –
cribbing and disconnecting all the electric and plumbing!
A second floor deck had been disconnected and a pool – in ground left there with a cement patio!
A long walkway to the beach with a sitting area at the end.
Two flags on a flag pole still waved in the breeze.
We wondered where it would go and how much this would cost?
The – a block away – lot was cleared – leveled and electric pole put in.
That was when we thought – is it possible it was being moved here?
And then one day last week – the electric went out and back on shortly after –
They – the movers had begun the move at 9:04 AM.
Traffic was blocked off – a lot of police cars and county officials and the moving company
and all of its equipment.
The electric had gone off and back on for them to disconnect the power lines and splice in once again.
The two story house was on the move!
Already crossed over four lanes of Ocean Blvd. moving slowly up the street to make the right hand turn onto Hillside drive.Almost to the corner of Hillside drive.
A lot of people watching – HOW ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE THE TURN?
Almost there!About to make the turn!The turn is made – they would lay down huge wooden pallets for the wheels under the house to travel on the one side of the roadway grass!From the rear – going down Hillside drive to the cleared lot! You can see the tracks in the road of the swing to make the turn.Almost there after hours of slowly moving and repositioning the wooden pallets.Finally in place after almost a full day – well into the afternoon!Once a beachfront house – now a block away on a side street – the journey to this lot completed.
The house was moved – still left on the huge trailers with wheels.
I am thinking they will start soon to put a foundation under it!
I have no idea how much this cost – but the beachfront lot is worth a million or more.

After unpacking – the very first thing they wanted to do after riding seven hours – “GO TO THE BEACH”!
They love the sand – the surf and the sound of the water and waves –
LETS WALK TO THE BEACH said Sherry!
So we did – the half mile walk through the neighborhood
To the gate entrance and then cross Hillside drive
Walk another block and cross Ocean Blvd. to the parking lot!
And then – you are standing on the sand – looking out to sea – looking for Dolphins!
Growing up – we would take Debby and her sister Tammy to the beach
Whenever we could for vacation.
Now – whenever they can – they take their families to the Ocean.
They are so excited – finding shells – talking – sticking their toes into the water!We have raised them to respect nature – to be a part of it – they love the outdoors.
Early on – we taught them to respect the environment
To not litter and see the wonders of what is around them.
Walking the sand – listening to the sound – “THE BEACH”!

I first met Jim some years back – his wife Claudia is a close friend of my wife Sherry!
Jim is a very large man – standing 6’5 ” of taller!
He loves to cook and always was making BBQ for his employees!
Claudia was interested in what Sherry was doing for her health.
Then – Jim became interested.
He sent me this email – I had no idea he was writing it.
It is such a story of health and a journey for a individual
who one day said enough is enough!
IN HIS OWN WORDS – JIM MARTIN!
My name is Jim Martin, and I am 65 years old. I live in Reston, Virginia, I still maintain a full-time job.
Heaviest Weight: 350 pounds
Current Weight: 260 pounds
I struggled with my weight my entire adult life. It led to binge eating and weight gain. Before trying Juice Plus, I had done yo-yo diets my whole life. My weight has gone up and down 50 to 80 pounds over the years, but nothing ever stuck.
Before Juice Plus, a typical day consisted of a lack of sleeping of no more that 4 to 5 hours a night and grabbing either a breakfast burrito with an apple juice or a chicken biscuit from a drive thru. I would go to work at my incredibly stressful sales job from 7:30-4:30 and get little to no movement at work. I would always eat out for lunch and pick very unhealthy options—sometimes I would even get dessert (cookies) with lunch! After work I would come home and eat dinner around 6:30 pm and sit on the couch until it was time for bed. Before bed, I would usually have ice cream or another dessert. Sometimes I would wake up and get a “midnight snack.” I was literally eating around the clock.
The first time I heard about Juice Plus was almost a year ago. I was not into fitness at the time, but back then I thought Juice Plus would help me lose weight and promote a good immune system. However, after years of putting on weight, I started learning more about it and decided I wanted to give it a try and joined the “Shred Your Way” Facebook group.
My turning point came on January 6, 2020 with the “Shred Your Way” Sugar Shred Challenge, No sugar for 10 days. As a result of completing this challenge, I have completely removed sugar from my diet for the past 11 months. I have no sugar cravings or desire to eat sweets as I did in the past. This all happened two months prior to the COVID lockdown and I was stress eating like crazy. It was a Monday morning and I stepped on the scale that I had been avoiding for months. After I read it, I just said, “That’s enough.” Something had to change.
My goal when I started this journey was to be in better shape than I was when I was 45. Back then, I was 260 pounds and less than 20% bodyfat. From the start of this journey to get healthy, I told myself that I wanted to be in better shape in the next year than I was in the last.
I found that adding Fasting, Healthy eating and Walking to my journey
I loved it so much, I added the Fasting (Zero Fast), Food Monitoring (MyFitnessPal) and Walking (Fitbit) apps to help me stay on track. It has been a huge help in my journey. Tracking the fast, steps, and foods It helps me to see trends, and with that I can make adjustments. I love being able to look back and see how I have done. The Shred Your Way Facebook group has also been a great source of motivation.
I currently follow a 16:8 fasting schedule, walking 8 to 10 miles a day, and eating about 1500 to 1800 calories a day, while trying to keep it flexible. Most days I end up following 17:7 Fasting, 25,000 steps and 1600 calories. I change my fasting times to suit my lifestyle. If I want to go out and have a big dinner with my wife, I will just do a longer fast leading up to it, so I stay in a deficit. And some days when I am hungry, I will break my fast at 13-14 hours (minimum of 13 hours to be considered fasting). I listen to my body and hunger signals. That is what I love about intermittent fasting—it is all about flexibility.
The first few mornings I started fasting I was so hungry, but honestly by the second week my body had adapted well. That is part of the reason I have been able to do this so long (coming up on 7 months). It is not a struggle for me to follow the plan.
Aside from the weight loss, fasting gives me freedom from food, walking gives me the movement I need and Juice Plus give me a healthy immune system. I no longer feel like food is my source of comfort. I can focus my thoughts and feelings more. I also did change my overall diet. I discovered tons of extremely healthy choices. However, that is another writing exercise.
Here is what I typically eat in a day:
Breakfast: Black coffee, breakfast cereal (Ezekiel or Sola brands, no/exceptionally low sugar) blueberries, raspberries, almond milk, and chia seeds.
Lunch: Arnold whole wheat bread or a Mission brand low carb whole wheat wrap, turkey or ham, mustard, lettuce., tomato and Kettle Brand avocado and Himalaya salt potato chips.
Dinner: Taco Bowl (steak, brown rice, pinto beans, salsa, cheese,) Kevin Brand Chicken entrees with steam veggies.
Snacks: Mixed nuts or, protein shake (1G or less sugar) or apple or protein bar (2G or less sugar)
Dessert: 1oz70% Dark Chocolate
I feel completely different now that I added fasting and walking to my Juice Plus daily routine. I no longer have a need to eat wasteful and harmful foods like sugar. Before, I would always eat a huge lunch and then be worthless for hours afterwards. Now, I experience the mental clarity that comes from eating the right foods, fasting, and walking. I am tracking all my calories in MyFitnessPal because I wanted to stay in a deficit, which was key for weight loss. I aim to eat 1,800 calories each day. I walk 7 days a week. It has been great.
These three changes contributed the most to my weight loss success.
Change 1: I gave myself more than a year to reach my goal.
By taking a longer-view approach, I do not get discouraged by little missteps. I still have plenty of time to reach my goal. When you set a short timeframe to reach your goal, you can get discouraged if it does not happen “fast” enough.
Change 2: I focused on healthy eating at first. I’ve done diets before, and when you change everything in the first week, you drain yourself of willpower and end up falling off the wagon. I just focused on finding healthy food choices that minimize or eliminate SUGAR. SUGAR is the killer of any plan that includes weight loss or a good immune system.
Change 3: I do not get discourage… focus on the big picture
Life happens, and if I get down on myself for being human, that is not going to help me in the future. So instead, I give myself grace and understand this will happen. I acknowledge it and move on instead of making myself feel like a failure. I could barely walk a mile without resting, now I can complete a 10K in less that two hours. It takes one step at a time.
I hope my successful journey can help other archive the life changing experience this has been for me. I think the most rewarding part about making this change has been the mental clarity and focus that comes in the last few hours before breaking a fast. I do not feel mentally drained. But the weight loss has made the biggest difference. It is going to allow me to live an active life well into old age. If I had continued putting on weight, I would have been in extremely poor health within the next five years. But now I feel strong, and I do not feel deprived.
The new Jim Martin – at 260 lbs.
As a side note – Claudia Martin has literally folllowed in Jim’s footsteps.
We visited a resort called Fearrington where they have black belted COWS and Chickens and Goats! And a community of different houses!
We went South to Fuquay-Varina
Just outside Raleigh N.C. where
Sherry’s sister moved about two years ago.
Sherry and Debbie
We have been here once before and decided to take
a quick long weekend trip
One of the things we did was visit Fearrington Farm
a resort that has white belted Cows – Goats and Chickens.
I have no idea HOW they produce the breeds
but they are Black with a white furry belt
In fact all the Cows – Goats are really furry
as are the Chickens ( fluffy feathers)
Belted GoatFluffy neck belted chickens
The animals were all inside pens or pastures
and we got to see them up close
It was the first time I had ever heard of them!
Sherry sitting with what I call HARVEY The rabbit made from strands of Copper wireSherry had farm fresh Tomato soup and I think Goat toasted cheese She said it was very good Debbie had the sameI had the farm fresh salad squash – shrimp(cooked) with goat cheese and it also was very good
They have several places to eat
and a spa and Inn to stay at ( $450.00 / night)
There is shopping and a really neat BOOK STORE !
Just outside where we ate a quiet place to reflect and next to outside seating
We walked around the bookstore & hundreds of books
had little review notes attached to them
All the books were colorful colors
and I found myself a little over whelmed
As I was unable to just focus
there were so many!
Mr. Frog water fountainBelted goats Tom & Debbie
I found the place charming
interesting and colorful
Goat pen with belted goats
I also thought I would like to come back
In the Summer
and try out the upscale Inn
Pregnant Belted Goat you could see the baby moving and kicking
They all could not be there because they are spread out
up and down the EAST COAST!
That is what she has done as the leader of TEAM GENERATIONS!
Debby ( QMND) Julie ( QSC) Mandy ( QMND)
They came because in less than two weeks – we leave the area
To start a new journey – they did not say goodbye –
but in this NETWORK BUSINESS
They said “SO LONG UNTIL WE MEET UP AGAIN”!

The HOW – product – health in bottles. 30 fruits and vegetables.Debby and her mother – forever grateful – bonded – over health and nutritionFifth teen years ago – saying “YES” to these has lead to below.The leaders in TEAM GENERATIONS
A simple YES led to this and beyond
leading and showing the way
Not saying GOODBYE
But ” UNTIL WE MEET UP AGAIN”TEAM GENERATIONS ( MAMA BIRD)UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN – A MEMORY FROM THE TEAM FOR ” MAMA BIRD “!
The concept of Team Generations came 13 years ago –
That is when Sherry introduced Juice Plus to our daughters.
Tammy and the twins Juice Plus babies
First was Tammy – who attended our first in house education
on Health and Nutrition with Pamela Sue –
one of two of our mentors – Sari being the other.
Pam is from the Big Island , HI.
Sari is from Atlanta Ga.
OMEGA’S GARDEN VINEYARD GARDEN The four staples of Plant Based Nutrition Tested FIVE times for pesticides From growers monitored by the JUICE PLUS COMPANY Now over 36 published researches in Medical Journals Tested by major institutions all over the World
Tammy was always first and foremost a healthy eater
Shunning fast food – eating Natural and Organic.
She caught on right away and signed up
as both a customer and a partner in the
Juice Plus Company.
Today – all three children are Juice Plus babies
meaning in the womb – she took the Juice Plus
Thus the babies absorbed all that nutrition the whole time !
Tammy Taylor left Cassidy right
They were born early by choice – as Taylor was taking all the fluid
She was growing while Cassidy was not
So at 32 to 33 weeks –
they came into the World

Set up for interviews The floor of the Rotunda belowReporter or newscaster
We walked in wonder – I was amazed at seeing History !
I have loved History all my life –
this day I felt I walked among it !
The ceiling of the RotundaLooking up the wall and all the reliefsThe Rotunda where Presidents have been viewed
The statues – the floor – the walls and the ceiling
spoke centuries of thought to me.
Each state has a statue or more !
There are so many statues – that we were told –
They had to move them to another room
as the weight was causing structural damage to the floor.
That room had been closed off for interior work being done!
The original statue that was to be placed on the dome was too heavy so they made a lighter one that now stands and faces the executive branch watching to over see JUSTICE

The tour and the next blog continues on the Capital Tour
Exactly one year ago today , at 11:30 AM. The call went into the Fire & Rescue ! My co-worker had come out into the warehouse and found me sitting at my desk and asked me if I was okay ? To which I replied “NO” ! I told him to make the call , and then he brought me two baby aspirin.
( This was written over five years ago – in a few months – I will celebrate five years since this was written. Today – I am still here – and my story continues – staying the course – still taking Juice Plus – and still living – )
You see , I had struggled all morning with what I thought was shoulder pain caused by over exertion. The pain would come and go. For four and one half hours this happened! I actually got sick twice going into the men’s room to vomit – but nothing happened. And I would feel okay after that. It wasn’t until I broke into a cold sweat and my arm started to feel like it was in a vice that I KNEW!
I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK ! The ambulance came – and I actually stood up and placed myself on the stretcher. As they wheeled me outside – the only thought I had , was make it stop hurting – my arm was KILLING me no pun intended!
Once inside with the doors open and it just being above freezing – off came my jacket and shirts. They tried to run the EKG! It would not work – they took my pressure – it was high and climbing! Again , the EKG! Not working. They put a port in my left arm and for the third time – tried the EKG! Not working. I listened to them talking – “NO – WE ARE NOT GOING TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL – WE HAVE TO GET HIM TO THE HEART CENTER!!!”
Off we went – sirens on – lights flashing – and then they tried one more time – EKG – IT WORKED !! It showed I was having a heart attack – not your ordinary one – but one that is known as “THE WIDOW MAKER!” I believe GOD was watching over me – the EKG did not work three straight times and after they decided to by pass three other hospitals – to go to the best Heart Unit in the city – well , when we started and then it worked – I really believe it was in God’s hands.
It was a 30 minute drive – and all the way there they were monitoring me – that is when they got out the electrical shock pads. I asked them why ?? Your blood pressure just spiked! How high I asked ?? 280 over 180 as they punctured my right wrist to put the second port in and blood splattered out !
We arrived – the artery was 100 % blocked by a blood clot ! It was just as you see on TV. Doors flung open – shouting of get out of the way – through the doors and down the hall running at full speed. They were waiting all dressed up in their surgery gowns.
Off came my remaining clothes – I was being prepped My arm hurt – and then – it seemed like only minutes – the pain went away and a face appeared over me looking down . How are you feeling he asked? I actually felt normal , no pain , nothing ! So I told him that and he said they had just inserted a stent ! And I never even felt it ! I had survived !
There are three reasons in my mind of why I survived that day . The first and foremost is the life style change my wife installed nine years before. We had actually switched our diets to health & nutrition – doing away with the fast food – sodas – milk – and most dairy & meat – preservatives & dyes – and just generally staying the course. And then we added a supplement called JUICE PLUS of over 30 different fruits – veggies – berries and two grains – that I have faithfully taken for nine years.
Second is the fast response of my co-workers – one in particular who made the call and brought me the aspirin. Those that stood by and with me during the wait – holding my hand – talking to me!
And third – I believe that God was watching over me – that EKG not working and their taking me to the best place I could be – the heart cardio unit in Fairfax. And then the EKG started working as soon as we pulled out and headed to the unit.
I survived THE WIDOW MAKER and am her to tell about it. The change of lifestyle and the supplements were my insurance – I am sure that had I not done this – it would of been a no brainer – I WOULDN’T BE HERE! So , last week , we attended a conference for THE JUICE PLUS COMPANY in Memphis Tenn.
I celebrated being alive there , and know with out the change in lifestyle – I would not be writing this today !

No truer words spoken
Today we think back knowing what we know-
Yet – generations have come and gone
and that rancor still remains
Paul and Jo
“I took a picture of one of the sayings – I could not help myself in walking around and taking a picture of each ” Paul Peterson
This was our first visit here
I found it profound and troubling at the same time
Jo and Paul
Profound that it took so long
Troubling because 400 years later –
it still exists .
Today – twitter seems to dominate and those that follow are as sheepToday I stand with reason I stand with comprehension I wield my vote and I communicate in church with my faithSherry and Jo Pondering what they see
Today –
we must not let those in power move us backward
with fear and hateful words
but reflect on our teachings
from those of a much kinder generation
Thank you for letting me share this with you
