Papa’s World – “THE PEOPLES HOUSE”!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

In October – we were back in NVA.-

at our daughter’s house.

We asked the three grandkids if they wanted to take the Metro –

And ride it into D.C. to walk-

and go to the Natural History Museum?

Two of the three decided to go –

and the third chose to not go-

because she had cheerleading practice!

Before we went to the Museum –

We decided to stop at the new “PEOPLES HOUSE” –

This is a replicate of THE WHITE HOUSE OFFICE.

It also has many interactive screens-

and videos to use and see!

It gives an accurate history of occupation from its inception!

In this section,

you can touch the screens or pictures –

and they come alive-

Giving you information on the history of THE WHITE HOUSE-

All the way from its first occupants to the present.

Here – Sherry – Taylor and Bode learn all about “THE PEOPLES HOUSE”!

Here Sherry and Taylor sit at a table –

all set for dinner as if they are in a state dinner function.

Here Bode sits at another table –

the whole room seems like you are part of the dinner!

The “OVAL OFFICE” with Bode to the left –

Sherry is to the right,

and Taylor is the president at the desk!

Bode at the president’s desk

This was all so real –

and exactly as it is in the WHITE HOUSE!

If you are in DC –

take to tour –

it costs nothing –

but you can make a donation.

There are two floors of interactive exhibits-

you can participate in!

Papa’s World – Random pictures and the History Museum.

Bode and Taylor at the History Museum in Washington, D.C.

We ventured by Metro into D.C.-

with the two of them –

We walked and walked –

Showing them the sights.

We did this while living nearby for twenty years –

with family and friends!

They were so excited –

and not once did they complain!

Bode was fascinated with life thousands of years ago.

He was full of questions-

and Taylor had most of the answers! LOL

These are some of the pictures Taylor took!

There is so much to see –

and little time to spend.

We need to go back for a week –

and take in something different each day.

This was such a learning experience for both of them!

Big sister-

little brother –

something they shall remember for a lifetime.

Papa’s World – crafting with MORMOR!

/ Tom / 2 Comments
MORMOR – Swedish for MOTHERS-MOTHER – that has become her name for the three little ones!

Sherry has introduced crafts to all the grand kids –

and to this day – the three older ones still do crafts!

Taylor Bode Cassidy 10 6 10 years old.

All you have to do is say craft and the go right to the table – no fuss!

Busy once again – crafting – she teaches them and now Cassidy helps the other two. She is the one who texts – calls or zooms her MORMOR every day!
Cassidy – who can do any craft by herself – and often sets by herself with her IPAD – listening to instructions and creates pictures and drawings that are much larger than what she sees on the IPAD – drawing freestyle!

The older ones have that same talent – Ella has won awards for her creations.

Taylor – whom loves her alone time – building farms – houses – horses out of LEGO’S!
Bode -the one who is hard to slow down – always on the move – loves his craft time with MORMOR!

She teaches them – one at a time – not only crafts – but life itself!

Here they are after creating their make a shell wish – and MorMor helping to hang those wishes!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

Papa’s World – The life of a grand parent!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Times have changed – today it is IPAD – SMART PHONE

and they can do it better than I can!

In this picture there is Sherry and all six grandkids.

Soon – in a little over three weeks – we will be leaving.

Going South – for FIVE MONTHS

trying to think out our possibilities

Do we rent – buy – house – apartment – condo!

And WHERE?

Until then – next week – the three little ones start virtual classes.

Now – I can show them how to butter bread –

cut a piece of pie or cake

even use this as a screwdriver or the other end as a hammer

but – I know nothing when it comes to being a techie!

They all know more than I do!

It will be hard for them in not going to school.

Having interaction with other kids

and with the teacher face to face.

Not to mention – the parents who work.

Where this all ends – I do not know.

We are going to help them get all set up at home.

We will be here for the start up.

Being grandparents can be hard in this new age.

And now – the new norm for the time being.

In a little over three weeks – our new adventure begins

we have already rented and paid for five months.

Watching them last night when they came home

rushing down the stairs to see us

all three talking at the same time

It will be hard on them also

Life as a grandparent can be hard

life as a grandchild can be harder

life now as we know it –

well – we shall live that life one day at a time

For that we are grateful –

that is why I write – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY!

Going to miss them all.
