Papa’s World – Being a senior – love of life!

March 6, 2026November 17, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

In our senior years –

I believe family-

Becomes more and more important.

Now the grandkids are either out of college or in college.

Those are the older ones!

The younger ones are in H.S., and one is in middle school-

Or soon to be!

We also moved to a warmer climate.

At our age,

We no longer want to deal with ice, snow, and extreme cold!

So we plan trips back to see them –

And also for them to visit.

They are all in the busy portion of their own lives.

We give – we volunteer-

And help when we can.

Senior years –

Life goes by quickly.

Before you know –

You are on the edge of caregiver –

To be a receiver of care.

Climbing that step ladder –

Becomes dangerous –

Bending over to weed becomes a chore!

Driving becomes-

Becoming more aware of where you are and who is around.

Happiness is when you can give-

And not expect a return!

Celebrations are when you stay awake at an outing –

Beyond eight PM!

But you also appreciate the little things of life –

LOVE OF LIFE follows you into the senior years!

We seem to look –

And see what we can do to help!

One day it will be reversed.

But until that happens-

LOVE OF LIFE will be our focus.

Living life to the plus one day at a time!

Our supplement for twenty years,

And what we believe in!

We can make our world better –

By making the world a better place.

SENIOR YEARS – we are long into them.

BUT WE HAVE A LOVE OF LIFE!

SENIORS – THE GOOD WITCH AND JUST TOM!

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

March 5, 2026November 15, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

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.

This is my story of my life and surviving what I SURVIVED!

Thanks for reading, and as always, HGD!

Papa’s World – Writing blogs!

March 4, 2026November 14, 2025 / 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.

THE GOOD WITCH AND ME- JUST TOM!

Papa’s World – Living – IN THE SOUTH!

March 3, 2026November 12, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

The beach – the ocean – warmer climate- hardly any snow or ice-

Golfing in the winter months –

Walking in sunshine with a coat and scarf-

Getting too warm and taking them off!

Blue skies – white fluffy clouds-

Watching thunderstorms rolling in!

Shows – music – entertainment-

Friends nearby.

These are just a few of the many things I associate with living in the South!

We wanted to be within a day’s drive from family in NVA!

The deep south was too far.

Being close to beaches was a plus.

Shopping – doctors and medical facilities.

Cities we could travel to if we wanted.

We chose the border of N.C. and S.C.

It can be hot in mid-summer –

But that is offset by being comfortable in mid-winter.

Our decades-old friends are 35 minutes to 3.5 hours away.

We still manage to get together several times a year.

The closer ones are about once a month.

We have made many new friends –

And other close friends from NVA have moved nearby!

We have downsized to one level –

With enough room for family!

In a community that is both quiet and has protected wetlands.

You see here behind the house,

Trees that are protected!

We feel we made the right choice!

We are happy here.

Friends and family visit.

The weather is to our liking-

Neither one of us likes the cold.

Andrea and Troy – my oldest son!

They will visit once again in the future!

Sunsets – this is our life in the South!

Our senior years are now here.

As the days begin and end

We are truly living in the South.

Papa’s World – Sitting on the front porch!

March 2, 2026November 9, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

One of my main reasons to sit on the front porch –

Is waving or saying “HELLO” to folks passing by!

Our home has that porch –

It was the one thing I wanted when we picked out the location!

It would be in shade most of the daylight hours!

And – if it rained – if the wind wasn’t blowing-

You could just sit there and enjoy the storm.

Our home in Cameron Woods Community-

Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

Here you can see the wet sidewalk, grass,

And decorative stones-

Which are all wet after a rain shower!

The glider with the two pillows is where I sit!

And you can see it is dry!

Hot days with a breeze-

The shade makes it bearable to sit!

In the evenings, you can observe the fantastic sunsets we have here!

The same for the sunrises-

YES- I am up before dawn every day!

The dawn of another day at our house!

Front-porch sitting, I have done all my life.

Sherry’s bucket list for the new house-

Was an “OFFICE” that we could close off-

With floor space to put down a –

Queen-size mattress for company (mostly family)!

With the extra bedrooms and queen-size pull-out couch –

A love seat that pulls out to a single-

Along with the office-

We can sleep –

ELEVEN PEOPLE!

The only regret we have is either another full bathroom-

Or a half bath!

Another beginning of a day from the front of the house!

We are just two miles from the beach as the crow flies!

Of course, the ICW is also between us and the ocean.

We also have an enclosed sunroom – Lanai –

In the rear, which houses many plants –

And is fully ready with a fan and a small heater –

To sit there for the four seasons!

Papa and Sherry are walking on the beach.

Neither one of us swims in the ocean anymore!

But we walk on the surf and sit in the shade on the beach!

Papa’s World – A blessed life with memories!

February 28, 2026November 8, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

MADDY – Now 25 years old –

Here she is, carried on his back – her father, Mike!

First of six grandchildren-

Five girls and one boy!

Today, she is a college graduate with a degree in Environmental Science.

Working for a large national Environmental firm and living in Fredericksburg, VA.

One of the blessed memories of our life together!

At our home in Brambleton, VA.

The entrance to the enclosed patio.

The three youngest granddaughters!

Taylor, on the left, and Cassidy, the fraternal twins.

And behind them is Sarah –

The youngest of her own family and all are cousins.

They always dressed up and played together.

Today, Sarah is a freshman in college,

And the twins are freshmen in high school.

Another blessed memory in our lives together!

Sherry is an SSC with the Juice Plus Company.

For 20 years, we have chosen this supplement for our health and nutrition.

After reading all the published research –

We decided this is the one that we would take and age as healthily as we could-

Into our SENIOR years.

Here is one of the many conferences we have attended –

Over the years, across the country.

Another blessed memory of our lives together.

Ella and Bode –

When he was young –

He adored Ella!

Here she holds him after one of her H.S. soccer games.

He would spend the whole game cheering her on.

Today, he is in fifth grade, and she has graduated from College.

And is teaching PHYSED to grammar school students!

Another blessed memory in our lives together.

I CHOOSE WISELY!

On one of our many excursions into Washington, D.C.

Here, Sherry stands at the Lincoln Memorial-

With the Washington Monument in the background on the mall.

We often took family and visitors on tours-

Walking all over after riding the metro in.

We loved the city –

And all the history and the museums.

Another blessed memory in our lives together.

The day my youngest son, Shawn, and Trisha were married.

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

But have been down twice for visits!

Another blessed memory in our lives together.

A LIITLE HUMOR! LOL!

I have always thought this way.

It is up to me to make my life what it is.

I think back on the choices I have made,

And one choice —another way — would change my life completely!

But with everything said –

I am happy with my life!

As true today as it was all these years!

I count my blessings and live my life one day at a time!

My dream of moving to the borders of N.C. and S.C. –

Was to be able to golf!

We have achieved this dream.

Once every two or three weeks –

Satisfied my need!

Living here –

It can be year-round!

LOL – A sense of humor goes a long way!

YEP – I RELATE TO THAT!

Our granddaughter –

Cassidy –

Made varsity as a Freshman Cheerleader.

She is also in gymnastics!

Here she is at sunset on OIB by the church overlooking the marsh.

Such a gifted little girl!

The ending of a day with the sunset!

Here in Cameron Woods Community –

We get Sunrises and Sunsets from in front of our home.

The journey of the sun across the sky –

Tends to be like our journey of life here near the ocean and the borders of N.C and S.C.

Our life is living one day at a time!

Sherry, as to what I call “THE GOOD WITCH” of Lindley Lane!

Here she is dressed up for our community’s Halloween party at the Community Center.

Sherry and Papa –

I WENT AS “JUST TOM”! LOL

Many times in the past, I have dressed up. But this year, I just could not get into it!

OLD AGE – SENIOR MENTALITY –

But I was happy to be “JUST TOM”!

So many times I have heard “THINGS” that are better left unsaid!

Those “THINGS” are just not true when checked out –

Yet that does not seem to bother that person!

I ask “WHY” to myself?

I have no answer –

That is my “WHY” I do not watch news stations –

Or listen to the radio podcasts.

Life is too short to be all wrapped up

In beliefs that go contrary to my beliefs.

The TRUTH is out there – just take the time to find it!

A POSITIVE outlook on life for me!

Our happy place – our home and our front porch-

Where I sit and watch the neighbors go by and wave.

LIFE IS GOOD!

For twenty years, we have practiced this concept.

As SENIORS, we are aging and taking care of our own HEALTH and NUTRITION!

The day we were married –

June 25th. 1982 –

Began our life together as ONE!

This describes our life as ONE together!

I believe all marriages have their ups and downs.

But there is always conversation to work things out.

This picture was drawn by Cassidy when she was 11 years old.

It is framed and sits on a dresser in our bedroom.

A little girl’s gift of art –

And we proudly show this as it has special memories of small children –

A theme we both cherish in our life together as ONE!

We lived this era of life!

LOVE – PEACE and HAPPINESS-

Brings us together as ONE in our beliefs!

FAMILY – Andrea – Troy – Trisha and her daughter – Autum-

Brings us to our family ideals.

We love them all –

Shawn and Sherry –

Sitting – relaxing, and this brings me joy!

We are ONE with family!

Our beliefs –

Leave no family behind!

Mother and daughters –

Debby and Tammy-

Their bond runs deep –

FAMILY – always since the day we married!

The years have passed –

The commitment remains the same-

ONE is what we believe.

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!

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!

February 15, 2026October 22, 2025 / 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!

Papa’s World – OIB Oyster Festival!

February 14, 2026October 21, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

The dawn of another day at the beach!

This was the 44th. year of the OYSTER FESTIVAL for Ocean Isle Beach.

Since 2021, Sherry and I have attended.

This year, our friends Bob and Pam –

Have rented a home nearby-

For the next year.

Taking a break from six-plus years of RV life on the road.

Pam in the red – Sherry and my grade school friend Bob.

We have been in contact through the years –

Reunions and seven years ago –

They stopped in their RV and spent some time with us in NVA!

This festival was a first for them.

Three days and FIVE LIVE BANDS!

This was the Friday evening opening band and the community’s free concert!

There were easily five to six hundred folks here!

The sun is about to set –

The music started after the color guard presented colors and the National Anthem was sung!

Here is Sherry in gray and Pam in red.

This was an excellent band and a great start to full two days of activities.

Ocean Isle Beach looking West-

From the Groin on the East end.

During the summer from mid-May until mid-September-

Every Friday night is an open-air concert at the park for free!

Sherry on the beach.

We are now on another adventure with our friends,

Who will be here until next October!

A weekend to remember.

Papa’s World – Enjoying our area!

LOL – A BIT OF HUMOR TO START YOUR DAY!

It has been FIVE YEARS since we moved down to the borders of N.C. and S.C.

We came during the COVID pandemic.

Streets and stores were empty, although open.

We saw the worst and the beginnings of the recovery.

But we looked on it as a new phase of our life together.

Also – a place for families to come and relax-

Go to the beach and explore.

This was the beginning of ENJOYING OUR AREA!

At that time, we traded in the car we had had for almost eight years-

And bought another Toyota Hybrid.

RAV4!

We still drive it today – 41.4 MPG!

We said our goodbyes to the LITTLE ONES and the OLDER ONES.

It was sad –

But adventures awaited them in the future-

Coming down to see us, and we’re up to see them all.

College came and went, and came again for the older three!

Maddy is on spring break for the Irish Festival at NMB!

The three LITTLE ONES –

Sherry flew up and flew back with them.

A first for them in an airplane.

Papa – Ella and Sherry-

Sunset on our back patio.

Both she and Maddy have graduated from college!

Sarah and Sherry –

Sarah is a freshman at CNU!

Our home is a place for them to visit anytime they want!

We love the choices we made five years ago!

February 5, 2026October 8, 2025 / 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!

Her website is complete with information – how to order and, if needed-

Her EMAIL and PHONE NUMBER!

Just go to https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

Today, this is our home –

We had a dream, and it came true five years ago.

PAPA’S WORLD!

Papa’s World – Living near the border!

February 2, 2026October 4, 2025 / 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!

January 28, 2026September 28, 2025 / 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.

PAST MEMORIES make me laugh!

This could be a success! LOL!!!

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.

For more info –

Sherry’s website with email, phone number, and how to order-

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.

GOOD THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – Scenes from the past!

January 16, 2026September 16, 2025 / 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!

The website with how to purchase- an EMAIL ADDRESS and A PHONE NUMBER!

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!

My quiet place ( Front porch) where I sit and watch the neighbors walk, bike, or drive by!

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!

Sarah –

Her early birthday and her sixteenth.

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!

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!

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!

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!!!

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 – Our steps to retirement!

January 6, 2026September 6, 2025 / 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 –

WE ARE HERE!

Proud of that!

Life is good!

It is the positive results that keep us coming back to golf!

Her becoming a stepmother,

And I am a stepfather.

Now, today –

They all come to visit.

A VERY BIG POSITIVE IN OUR LIVES!

Now there is a POWDERED drink for Juice Plus.

If you have trouble swallowing capsules –

Yes – during the “VACATION SEASON” it is crowded and quite busy!

However, it was this way in the NVA every day throughout the year.

Back there – we learned when to venture out –

And what secondary roads we could travel on.

Here you have one way to the beach –

And we know when to try to cross the bridge and when not to!

It all comes down to the “TIME OF DAY”!

And what the heck –

WE ARE RETIRED!

We have no schedule –

We can come and go as we want.

A very BIG PLUS for us –

We get to stay, while others have a week and leave.

WE ARE NO LONGER THE OTHER FOLKS!

From the end of May to early September –

Our park has OPEN-AIR FREE CONCERTS on Friday evenings.

This draws five hundred to seven hundred people.

But – in the off-season,

There are other concerts,

And festivals and vendors!

So you could say we have the best of both worlds –

PLUS THE WEATHER in September- October and November!

Born and raised in the NYS and WPA –

Those months are like Summer months to us!

The beach is not crowded –

The water is still warm if you want to go in

I DON’T! LOL!

I am satisfied walking in the surf –

Sitting under the shade and just enjoying life near the beach!

We are volunteers for the SEA TURTLE PROTECTION – NC WILDLIFE RESOURCES COMMISSION-

PERMIT 25ST02!

This season runs from mid-May until almost the end of October-

Depending on when the last Sea Turtle lays her eggs!

We spend a lot of time at the beach during this time.

Again, you plan the time you are going and add the time it takes to get there!

Our volunteer work involves –

BEACH WALKING to find Sea Turtle Crawls-

Twenty-four-hour on-call for the VERIFICATION team of Sea Turtle nests.

NEST SITTINGS ( OBSERVATIONS and THE HATCHING OF SEA TURTLES AND CROWD CONTROL)

CHECKING KNOWN NESTS.

SET UP AND TAKE DOWN OF THE “TURTLE TALKS”!

HELPING VENDOR BOOTH.

EDUCATING FOLKS ON THE “WHY” of protection for SEA TURTLES!

We have been married for over FORTY THREE years and together for TWO YEARS before our marriage.

WE ARE NOW ON WHAT I CALL – Easy Living – OIB life!

We selected this site and life after selling our home in Brambleton, VA.

Before that, we lived and worked in WNY!

Family and Friends are very important to us.

We have new friends and old ones who have also moved down here-

And other long-time friends who live in N.C.

Buck and Cindy have been in the area near Leland for years and years-

They were our neighbors back in WNY!

We have maintained these friendships all these years.

Jim and I grew up in the same little town in WPA –

We worked together and played softball together.

Dottie is married to Jim and is from the same town I grew up in.

They now live in Northern N.C.

And all of us get together.

They are also friends with Buck and Cindy.

Our life has evolved –

Living in the South with almost no snow or ice.

This suits us in our Senior years!

Papa’s World – Beach dreams and living life!

December 31, 2025August 30, 2025 / 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.

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.

She loved it, and maybe someday she will come back for it again!

My sons and their families.

Came to visit a few years ago.

Here we take a picture of the sunset from the pier.

A fond memory of a time gone by!

Before, the only boy grandchild- Sarah, Cassidy, Ella, Taylor, and Maddy.

The little twins are now in their first year of High School.

Maddy and Ella have graduated from college.

And Sarah is in her first year of college.

And now Bode is in fifth grade.

Fond memories of times gone by!

What we found and started to take every day-

Because it was proven to go immediately into our bloodstream-

There is now a powder to mix with water –

That does the same thing –

Goes right into the bloodstream and tastes a little like red fruit punch!

All forty studies-

It is sold here in the USA and in 27 other countries.

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 –

You get your own WEBSITE!

Over the years, “CHRISTMAS” celebrations with family!

When we lived in Brambleton-

It was a drive to the Metro some miles away –

And take the family into D.C –

To the White House lawn and the nation’s Christmas tree!

Here is Sherry on one of those trips!

We have spent many holidays in DC.

Always forming memories –

We keep them in our minds and souls!

We have spent many Christmases in Lake Holiday with the older grandkids and their parents!

Forming memories for years to come.

When family visits –

And going to a Christmas show at Barefoot Landing.

You can see the mild winter conditions of winter in December!

And of course, there is MARLEY –

The family granddog!

Such a gentle dog!

And then –

It is “CHRISTMAS IN A BARN” with the older grandkids and their parents!

The twins –

Reading for a Christmas service.

At Community Lutheran Church in Sterling, VA.

Around the Holidays –

And game days for football-

Celebrating with friends.

Yuletide feelings with our neighbor Diane.

Today – she has graduated from college-

A degree in Environmental Science-

Working for a large Environmental nationwide firm.

She has her own apartment –

But I still remember the little girl –

On her tricycle – with her “PIGGY” in the basket.

Maddy has grown up –

But this little girl will remain with me for the rest of my life!

A little humor to start your day!

Now if it were craft BEER –

I would be into it! LOL

When we moved South in 2020 –

During the COVID-19 pandemic-

We stayed in North Myrtle Beach at Ocean Keyes-

The beach was a half-mile walk from our condo!

We loved it here, but could not find a place to live that met our lifestyle!

NINE MONTHS was the period of time we lived here.

Fantastic memories,

And we still travel the sixteen miles back to visit!

CHERISHED MEMORIES!

My oldest son, Troy.

He still lives back where he grew up in Pa.

Looking forward to his next visit!

CHERISHED MEMORIES!

In Cameron Woods Community!

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 –

And become a partner to help pay for it!

Plus it is sold in 27 countries and the USA!

Our journey has led us to our SENIOR YEARS –

Taking this has helped us age as healthily as we can

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 –

Papa’s World – Aging into our senior years!

December 21, 2025August 19, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

Now, we are seniors!

Have been for quite some time!

Our senior years changed back in the start of the Pandemic.

That is when the 401K dropped like a lead weight –

Wiping out almost 1/3 of our retirement.

But – at the same time, for some reason-

The housing market took a leap-

And we decided to sell and take the profits!

Above – our “RETIREMENT HOME FOR LIFE”!

We lived here for 14 1/2 years.

We built this house – and were happy here!

Many memories of family and friends were here for all those years.

It was large – two stories and 3100 sf.

A corner lot, and we were one of the first ones to move here.

And it grew and grew!

There was one High School, and when we sold and moved away –

The fourth High School opened.

They had built a complete community –

Along with stores, banks, a library, restaurants, a gas station, and a grocery store.

Everything you would need to not venture out to the hustle and bustle of NVA!

The Metro was just a few miles away, as was the Dulles Airport.

We were happy here – but the costs kept rising!

NVA is very expensive to live in.

So when the market fell –

We decided to go South!

We found a condo in North Myrtle Beach at Ocean Keyes.

It was fourth floor with two elevators!

This was our view at night over the lake and fountains, and lights from the houses.

It was a half-mile walk to Main Street and the beach.

Sunrise from the lanai, which went across the complete front of our condo.

There were swans and Geese on our walks beside the lake on our way to the beach!

Sherry was near the end of the half-mile walk to the beach!

The beach entrance and our first trip walking to this entrance.

What would become a ritual walk every morning.

Our time here lasted nine months, after which we moved into our new home that was built in –

Cameron Woods Community-

Some sixteen miles to the North in N.C.

This is our new home, as it was when we moved in!

Today, all the landscaping is complete.

We still travel back and forth to North Myrtle Beach.

Tons of shopping – good food and entertainment are within thirty minutes of where we live.

We are aging well into our SENIOR YEARS!

In July of 2024 –

On the OIB –

We celebrated our 75th. birthdays with family.

We have, for over twenty years, maintained our aging healthy-

With the following supplement.

As seniors, now is the time to do the things we want to do!

For me I would much rather drive someplace than fly!

It seems the last few times that I did fly-

I caught a sickness that laid me up for over a week!

And then my fear of heights and flying!

At this stage in our life-

Shorter trips – more time at the destination.

Taking breaks and relaxing.

I guess that is what being a SENIOR is! LOL

But – I have to say – over these many years – we did do the things we wanted to do!!!

LOL- But we still remain as active as we can!

Walking to places as much as we can.

Golfing when we can.

No more running – but then I never did much of that!

Playing sports was more my thing.

Now watching sports is my thing!!

Love my morning of a single cup of COFFEE!

It’s been a ritual of mine for years.

Other than that –

My choice of liquid is water!

I have cut back on beer- I never did like hard stuff or wine!

Unsweetened iced tea is my change-up.

Relaxing on the sand!

Has always been my dream.

I remember when we would go a vacation near a beach-

Counting down the days until we had to leave.

Wishing we could stay.

Now – being so close –

We are the ones who stay and watch those on vacation leave to go home!

Being in our senior years –

We are living our dreams!

Here – Sherry and I -sitting on a sand dune –

In July of 2024!

A celebration of our 75th. birthdays that year!

Our prime focus for the past twenty-plus years-

Is to AGE AS HEALTHY as we possibly can into our SENIOR YEARS!

After we turned FIFTY-

We started doing research into something that could help us maintain good health into our senior years.

Going to NBC FOR YOUR HEALTH –

At the Washington Convention Center –

WE FOUND IT!

Over forty published research results in journals-

Lead us to the following!

We purchased this twenty-plus years ago and have not missed a day in that time.

The nutrients are proven to go right into the bloodstream.

Everything it states to do –

It is proven by science and research published.

Papa’s World – Through the years – our HEALTHY lives!

December 19, 2025August 16, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

It is hard to envision that we became involved with the health and nutrition community-

Through our application to become a partner with Juice Plus.

Over twenty plus years –

And in that time –

We have traveled the country from coast to coast.

We have built a team –

And helped countless people age into their senior years – HEALTHY!

Through the child program offered by Juice Plus-

A child between the ages of 4 through 19 –

And up to 25 if they go to college-

They can be sponsored by an adult

And as long as the adult maintains their order –

Receive for FREE –

The Juice Plus product- only paying for shipping!

Thirty Fruits and vegetables –

Blended – put in capsules – gummies or liquid –

Those are researched and published –

That proves they go directly into the bloodstream –

After ingesting them!

Our lives have changed during these past twenty-plus years.

I have given up “MILK”!

I have also given up “SODAS”!

I have cut way down on “BEER” and no wine or hard drinks!

I drink mainly water and unsweetened “ICE TEA”!

Daily, I drink the above-

“JUICE PLUS COMPLETE- MY FAVORITE IS DUTCH CHOCOLATE!”

I mix this with crushed ice – about a quarter cup –

A quarter cup of filtered water-

And a cup of either SOY MILK or ALMOND MILK!

This replaces for me –

Breakfast or lunch.

It fills me up!

One of my habits still exists.

Every morning I have one cup of coffee!

I sometimes replace it with a cup of tea!

The rest of the day is “WATER”!

LOL!

I had a widow-maker heart attack!

I had to have open heart surgery!

I had to have four bypasses.

Because for FORTY YEARS –

I survived on fast food – ate unhealthy –

AND I PAID THE PRICE.

My recent BLOOD TEST RESULTS!

CHOLESTROL – 99!

TRIGLYCERIDES – 57!

LDL- 54!

HDL- 32! ( need more exercise!)

VLDL- 13!

I AM DIABETIC – years of sweets and food I should not have eaten!

AIC- 6.7 ! I have to get it below 6.4!

GLUCOSE- 110 – I HAVE TO GET IT BELOW 100!

THYROID- 1.930 NORMAL!

TWENTY PLUS YEARS AGO –

We embarked on a journey to age as healthily as we possibly could into our SENIOR YEARS-

I firmly believe with the help of the above –

We have accomplished that.

We continue on a path that has not always been perfect-

But better than it would have been!

This product is sold in the USA and over TWENTY COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE!

Papa’s World – A look at early years to now!

December 18, 2025August 15, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

Way before I was born –

The roaring twenties of my hometown –

ELDRED, PA.

Here is Main Street –

Some of these buildings were still there when I was young.

Some had new store Fronts while others looked as these do.

It has always, I think, had that small-town feel.

I believe this might be even earlier.

Perhaps sometime in the 1800s?

This looks to be late 30s?

Or even 40s?

I recognize many of these stores!

An early picture of Scotty’s Eldred softball team.

Many of these men I knew growing up.

My best friend Bob – his father is lower right side.

I would assume this to be late 40s to mid 50s?

This was in the 1880s –

Our little town experienced yearly spring floods –

Into the summertime.

The Alleghany River ran in the upper center right of this picture.

Heavy rains and snowmelt seemed to always cause flooding.

The Eldred grade and high school!

First grade through twelfth grade.

I went to my first four years here-

And we combined school districts –

With Eldred- Duke Center and Rixford.

A new elementary school was built right across the street from the ball field.

I went to fifth and sixth grade and then was bused 7 or 8 miles to –

The Otto-Eldred High School in the seventh grade.

The old school – built sometime in the 1800s-

Being torn down.

My brother Roger –

Second bottom row from the right-

On the Eldred H.S. basketball team.

I knew many of these guys growing up.

My father – Bob- second from left –

Part owner of the Western Auto-

A supervisor for the South Penn Oil Company.

On the school board, when uniting the three school districts along with the township.

Here is the picture of when in Buffalo –

The Eldred team won the championship!

The Eldred fire department, as I knew it growing up,

I lived just up the street on the opposite side.

There was and still is –

A ten o’clock curfew –

The siren would sound every night, and you had to be home and off the streets!

My Junior year of H.S.

I am second row –

Third from right –

Number 65.

My senior year – I was in a car accident-

And spent 51 days in the hospital.

Not knowing if I would ever walk again.

My older sister, Donna, and her husband, Bill.

She worked for the town.

Bill was the Police chief when I was growing up!

And later became Mayor.

Today, this little town of Eldred, Pa.

It is home to a huge WWII museum.

All in this picture is the building.

Many tour buses make a stop here.

They come from all over the country to see the exhibits!

It is a marvel and a bucket list to see!

I have a lot to smile about!

Growing up here –

I would not trade.

This was home to me for 30 years.

Sherry and I – July 2024 – celebrating our 75th birthday on the beach with our families.

Growing old and aging as healthily as we can.

PAPA’S WORLD – A LOOK BACK AT THE EARLY YEARS OF WHERE I GREW UP – ELDRED, PA.

Papa’s World – When dreams come true!

December 17, 2025August 14, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

After the Pandemic and the 401K collapse –

We decided to sell our “Forever Home” in Brambleton, VA. –

And go to a warmer climate!

We stayed for nine months in Ocean Keyes, NMB- S.C.

During those nine months, we visited many homes for sale.

Anything in our price range involved updating and months of work.

By chance, seeing a billboard –

We visited a new Community site under construction.

We found where we wanted to live and decided to BUILD our next home.

The total cost was equivalent to what we would spend on purchasing one to update.

The plus side was that we would have everything new and be where we wanted to be.

This picture shows our new home under construction –

1900 plus square Feet –

Plus an enclosed screened-in lanai!

Our wish list was met by upgrading almost everything we could!

The beaches –

10 to 13 minutes away for both of them.

Gas station – Post Office-

Two miles away.

Shopping – 12 minutes in either direction-

And big box stores – 8 to 16 miles away.

Entertainment – thirty minutes away, sometimes closer.

Numerous friends live nearby.

We play golf on over thirty golf courses nearby!

We volunteer for three organizations.

And we live in a climate that suits us year-round!

This is our dream come true!

We left behind family, but they visit often.

And we also often go back!

We are retired and in our senior years!

July 2024 – on the beach celebrating both of our 75th. birthdays!

Over twenty plus years ago –

We did the research and read the published research( 40 now published)

and decided to age as healthily as we could into our Senior years!

After much thought and reading, we selected JUICE PLUS –

THIRTY FRUITS – VEGETABLES – BERRIES AND OMEGAS –

Once taken go immediately into the bloodstream.

USA OLYMPIC TEAMS, BOTH WINTER AND SUMMER – TAKE THIS.

IT IS NSA APPROVED FOR PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES!

We are aging in our senior years –

Getting the required fruits and vegetables with nutrients that go directly into your bloodstream.

Sherry decided over twenty years ago to become a partner in the health establishment.

She has her own website: www.https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

This is sold worldwide in over twenty COUNTRIES.

Her email and phone number are on this site to answer questions.

Memory from 2015!

Cassidy – Bode and Taylor.

Now they are 15- 11 and 15 years old.

A memory from the past brings good thoughts today!

Our home in Brambleton, Va. –

Where we lived for 14 1/2 years.

Many family times and friends visiting over those years.

We had this home built and watched the entire neighborhood built!

A GOOD THOUGHT AND MEMORY FOR US!

Well – somewhere out there I have a lot of these with my name on them! LOL!

One of the reasons we decided to move here!

SUNSET OVER THE MARSH!

A GOOD THOUGHT ON HOW WE GREW UP!

A winter day on the beach!

No snow – or ice-

It is somewhat cold with the wind.

But – the blue skies –

Sparse white clouds-

And bright sunshine are our “WHYS” we moved to OIB in N.C.

My GOOD THOUGHT for the day!

December 9, 2025August 4, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

This is a picture back in 1889 –

Of the little town I grew up in

Eldred, Pa.

I lived here until I was about 30 years old.

After I graduated from H.S.-

I rented an apartment in the brick building with four windows across –

With the canopy and something on the front sidewalk.

At the time I was there, it was the Western Auto.

Flooding was a natural occurrence –

Some years are worse than others.

We had the flood of ’72 –

and 12 to 15 feet of water on Main Street.

The reason was that the Alleghany River ran just below the tracks.

Growing up –

A lot of these buildings were still there.

Many memories from when I grew up in this little town in NWPA!

PAST MEMORIES AND THOUGHTS!

A GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

Papa in the “PINK” shorts playing volleyball for the Corporate Cup!

Sherry is to the right in a white top!

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

PAST MEMORIES AND GOOD THOUGHTS!

LOL – HOW TRUE IS THIS!!!!!!

CASSIDY AND TAYLOR WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG!

NOTE CASSIDY’S SOCKS – SHE WAS A FASHION STATEMENT EVEN BACK THEN!

PAST MEMORIES AND GOOD THOUGHTS!

Papa- walking the sidewalks in Brambleton!

We had over fifteen miles of walking trails when we moved.

Some you had to walk the sidewalk to get to.

But – we could go any direction and find a trail!

A good thought for today!

A little humor for today!

This is the park at Sunset Beach before you cross over the causeway bridge!

Here, we take our chairs and find shade under a tree!

It is calming as you watch-

All the boats come and go on the ICW!

This is also the park with a covered gazebo-stage where live music on Wednesday evenings occurs.

Also, once a week is a vendor day where dozens of vendors –

Show their wares to buy.

It takes us 10 to 12 minutes to get her from our house.

A GOOD THOUGHT AND MEMORY FOR THE DAY!

Sherry won a day on the water with a pontoon boat at a raffle.

Our friends ( Decades and Decades) came and shared this day.

Here we are on the ICW-

We had the pontoon for over six hours.

PRODUCING US WITH MEMORIES FROM THE PAST!

One more GOOD THOUGHT for the day!

A day on which we took the three youngest grandkids –

On a ferry to Fort Fisher –

To the aquarium.

They loved the boat ride,

And then we drove off and went to the aquarium.

A CHERISHED MEMORY OF THE PAST!

TRUE – AND I HAVE BUCKETS OF THEM, THANKS TO MY NEIGHBOR JACK!

PS. I KEEP TRACK OF MY SCORE ( how many balls I lose and find)!!!! LOL

Have you ever heard a song and it brought forth memories from the past?

Growing up in the 50s and 60s-

I listen to classic rock and also country.

Many of those songs bring back memories for me.

They provide a way for me to express long-ago happenings.

The very first time I heard a Beatles song-

My first memory of country!

Dances – hanging out with friends.

Good thoughts and memories!

From the beginning of our marriage-

We both loved the beach, sand, and surf.

Dreaming that someday we could make it a daily thing to walk on the beach.

Now in our retirement and senior years –

That dream has come true!

We will enjoy it as long as we are able!

A MEMORY COMES TRUE!

The little Lutheran Church in Portville, N.Y..

Where we were married all those years ago –

On 6-25-1982.

Many memories are there –

We transferred to NVA in 1999.

We found a church there and left it in 2020.

We are now at another church, located close to our home in Cameron Woods Community.

IT WILL NOW CREATE MEMORIES ONCE AGAIN IN OUR SENIOR YEARS!

In 2021, the construction of our new home in Cameron Woods Community- OIB!

Here you see them testing the irrigation system.

We were able to close and start moving in on July 2, 2021.

Today it is all landscaped –

And we are happy to have selected this to be our retirement home in the South!

MANY NEW MEMORIES HAVE BEEN FORMED HERE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

LOL- I BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE!

Our supplement of choice for over twenty-plus years!

Aging healthily in our senior years.

PROVIDING MEMORIES AS WE AGE!

Our goal in moving South-

It is to continue to play golf!

We live in the middle of over thirty golf courses.

I belong to a card-holding TRAIL MEMBERSHIP-

This gives us reduced rates on numerous courses in the area.

Some humor during the pandemic.

This was when we moved to NMB-

It was a ghost town-

Before that, for months, we wore masks.

We walked in public each day with hardly anyone around.

It was a time we shall always remember.

To make the most of it –

We walked alone but still enjoyed the new surroundings!

SOME HUMOR FOR A TIME OF OUR LIVES THAT WILL ALWAYS BE MEMORIES!

AAAAHHHHH – The life of a senior on retirement.

All those years of being somewhere for work-

I do not miss it!

I miss the people and have cherished memories of working –

For the same company for 47 1/2 years!

GOOD THOUGHTS FOR TODAY!

LOL- Being careful goes along with the GROANING!

But seeing Sunrises and Sunsets each day-

Being together and married for 43-plus years.

THANKFUL for the time we have together and the times we have spent in the past.

GOOD THOUGHTS FOR TODAY!

LOL!

Golf is always entertaining!

SOME GIGGLES FOR TODAY!

So many past memories of growing up in the 50s and 60s!

Peace – love – long hair – motorcycle –

Past memories and good thoughts of those days gone by!

The day Sherry, Cindy, and I played a golf scramble.

Two bogies and two birdies and the rest pars!

Gave us even par for nine holes.

Not bad for old senior players –

GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

Sherry was a runner.

Here is the day she ran a 5K.

First place in her age group – 60 to 64!

To me – a GREAT THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

Back on the rear landing in our house in Brambleton-

We had two of the four Towers-

We owned.

I put this landing in, and it was perfect for the Sun.

Until 1PM.-

It was in the Sun.

We also had one in the enclosed patio and one in the garage with grow lights.

That gave us all year-round-

Fresh home-grown veggies!

I would dismantle three outside units and use only the one in the garage –

With the grow lights!

These two we sold with the house when we moved.

We moved the one in the garage with us,

And it has been year-round outside on our back patio!

Every six months,

we take it apart and clean it.

It is calming to know what you eat and no pesticides.

THINKING GOOD THOUGHTS AND HUMOR TODAY!

THE BEATLES – growing up with them!

On one of our many adventures with the McBrides!

Friends since the mid-80s.

We have traveled the World with them.

Halloween birthday party for Sarah when she turned SWEET SIXTEEN!

This is what she wanted from us.

Maddy wanted to swim with the manatees.

December 1, 2025July 26, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

LOL – AIN’T THIS THE TRUTH!

Sherry and Papa at Niagara Falls!

This was on a trip with McBrides, covering both the American and Canadian sides.

We toured wineries and breweries.

We went to the Casinos-

And out-of-the-way attractions.

This forms a MEMORY FROM PAST PICTURES!

Raise your hand if this is in your home! LOL!

Sherry – Papa- Buck and Cindy-

On one of our countless golf outings!

We even did one on OHAU!

A MEMORY FROM A PAST PICTURE!

When they were little-

Cassidy and Taylor are at our home in Brambleton!

Memories – in a picture from THE PAST!

LOL- But I have heard that this is what you do with a JELLY FISH STING!!! OMG!

Sherry and Papa –

At POINT OF ROCKS in Maryland!

We took the three youngest here for a day trip.

I was nervous the whole time.

I watched them like a hawk.

But it gave us a PICTURE FROM THE PAST!

On a golf outing and a par three-

A rare picture of Cindy and Papa-

Hers was closest to the pin.

We played a scramble and birdied the hole!

PICTURE OF A MEMORY FROM THE PAST!

Our scorecard from that day –

EVEN PAR!

That is worth a PICTURE FROM THE PAST!

My good thought for the day!

Pandemic-2020-COVID-no-one- to cut my hair!

My hair is naturally curly –

Sometimes with the wild, wind-swept look!

Everything, as far as haircuts, had closed up during the early Pandemic.

A LOOK BACK in time!

Pandemic 2020 –

Our church service was in the open-air parking lot at Community Lutheran Church.

The little ones sat in the rear of our car with blankets.

A LOOK BACK!

My oldest son, Troy-

At the wedding of his brother Shawn.

Both still live back in NWPA –

Where – they still live in the area where they grew up!

Several times they have made the long trip down to see us!

A LOOK BACK IN TIME!

A very old picture of way before I was born –

In the town of Eldred, Pa.-

Where I grew up and lived until I was around 30!

A LOOK BACK!

Our way of life!

Trisha and Shawn –

On the day they were married-

Daughter-in-law and son.

A LOOK BACK!

2024 – on our 75th birthday celebration at the beach.
