Papa’s World – 6-25-1982 – THE DAY WE WERE MARRIED.

June 25, 2026March 24, 2026 / Tom / Leave a comment

We had dated for a year and a half prior to the day we were married.

Sherry had two daughters from her first marriage.

I had two sons from my first marriage.

We had very little money, but we made it work.

I kept a few friends, and she kept a few friends –

But other than that, we made new friends together.

We lived in a three-bedroom home with one bathroom all the way up to the end of –

The East Windfall Road in the Portville, N.Y. school district-

The school was ten miles away!

The driveway was 1/10th of a Mile long up a gradual slope to the house –

And the house had a large green lawn all around it!

Back then, I had a push mower – gas –

And it took three days to mow it!

The driveway alone was 1/10th of a mile in both directions and about six feet of mowed grass on either side.

On the upper lawn was a fire pit.

The neighbor at the end of the driveway, you could not see because of the trees –

And the other two neighbors –

One you could see way across the field, and the other you could not see!

We were isolated!

But – as the two daughters grew –

So did the school activities and church-

Both – ten miles away.

Many round trips were needed, and my sons were six to eight miles beyond that!

Most of the ten miles were 35 to 45 MPH!

Sherry – in the Dominican Republic for our honeymoon.

We spent a week on the island at an all-inclusive resort.

At the last minute-

The travel agency called and said our prior destination in the Bahamas was canceled –

Due to renovations, this was available, and they gave the all-inclusive at no cost!

We took it and flew out of Toronto, Canada!

We were married on a Friday night in our church in Portville, N.Y.

Saturday, we drove over three to four hours to Toronto –

Stayed overnight and flew out on Sunday!

We had many adventures on the island –

Someday I will write about them!

Our life together has been one of gratitude!

We made it work –

Had no money –

And raised four children (my sons stayed with their mother)

I raised two wonderful stepdaughters.

Today – Debby on the left, Tammy on the right, and Sherry in the middle.

They are the daughters I never had.

And they each had three children –

Debby and Mike – with Kendrick, who will marry Maddy!

Sarah and Maddy are in the front, and Ella is behind them.

Tammy with her twin daughters – Taylor and Cassidy!

Marcus and Tammy with Bode –

The only grandson.

My two sons –

Troy on the left and Shawn on the right.

Today, they still live back in NWPA,

Where they were raised.

But they visit –

And we are looking forward to them coming down once again.

Proud father to two sons!

Today we celebrate 44 years of marriage –

I would not change a thing!

My love and soulmate-

My partner and friend.

June 25th. 1982 to June 25th. 2026 –

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SHERRY –

And more to come!

COVID – 2020 – North Myrtle Beach –

There were times when we walked the beach and the streets –

Nobody was present!

You can see here how deserted the street is!

This is Main Street, just off the ARCH to the beach.

We have had snow twice in the almost six years we have been in S.C. and N.C. –

And this is a picture of the sunset for the first time!

It was not much – maybe three inches, but with the sun –

Quickly turned to ice and was gone in five days!

This is the back yard –

This year, we had a freak storm cyclone –

That is what they called it, and it came right up the coast from the South.

They even had snow in Northern Florida!

FIFTEEN INCHES is what we got in twenty-four hours.

And the wind was terrible –

Causing it to drift in places to three feet!

I thought we had left this all behind in NVA and WNY!

We did not even own a snow shovel!

I DO NOT LIKE SNOW AND ICE!

This is my idea of winter in the Carolinas!

Dress warm, and when the sun comes out –

Remove layers as it gets warmer, and it does do that!

I can live with that!

Walking on the beach as long as it is not windy-

The sand STINGS your face.

On a walk at the OIB community center in February-

About 50 degrees in the sun, but felt warmer.

So far, we love the weather of the Carolinas!

On the island of OIB-

Free Friday night music concerts from the end of May to the end of September.

Here, the seating area is starting to fill up.

You can take your own food and drinks-

The drinks can not be in a glass!

The music is good and lasts about two hours.

AND, IT IS FREE!

Friday night concerts at OIB!

Other towns nearby have their own free concerts on different nights!

A favorite place for us to go and grab a coffee or tea is Causeway 59 –

Situated just after you exit the causeway bridge to OIB!

There are three restaurants here and a marina.

We sit here and watch the boats come in to refill or to eat at the restaurants.

This is all just off the ICW, which has access to the ocean.

Just a quiet little place and good food!

For enhanced IMMUNE systems.

We had always dreamed of living near a beach!

Today, we live near three of them, and two more are 30 to 45 minutes away.

Sipping coffee on the front porch glider –

Summer is here!

My favorite spot is to sit here –

Watch the neighbors ride by –

Wave or say hello –

All the while under cover from the sun and rain.

Summer is when family comes to visit.

Here – Debby and Mike –

Along with Maddy, Ella, and Sarah –

The three oldest grandchildren!

We take them to Barefoot Landing, the ICW, and the marina.

Watching the boats to come and go.

Summer is vacation time!

Summer concerts in the OIB Park.

Free from mid-May to early October.

Depending on weather-related cancellations.

The concerts draw hundreds of tourists and locals.

Every Friday night, the other towns have free concerts on different weekdays.

Summer time entertainment.

Bode – Sherry, Cassidy, and Taylor.

The youngest grandchildren.

One time, Sherry flew up to NVA and then brought all three back on their first plane ride.

A week later, their parents drove down for a week and took them back home.

Here we are on the ferry to see the Coastal Carolina Museum and Aquarium.

Summer time fun!

June 9, 2026March 5, 2026 / Tom / Leave a comment

Welcome to PAPA’S WORLD!

Moving to the South –

First in 1999 to NVA-

While it was a bit warmer-

We still had lots of ICE AND SNOW!

This was one of the major snowstorms we had while living in NVA!

Truth be –

We had more snow in storms there than in the entire 50 years we lived in WNY and NWPA!

We lived just behind the DULLES AIRPORT –

And they recorded 48 inches of snow in two days!

So – when the Pandemic hit –

The 401K dropped, and the housing market took off!

In 2020 – WE SOLD –

And moved temporarily to North Myrtle Beach!

We leased a condo for nine months until our new home was completed-

In Cameron Woods Community, N.C.

Just seven miles from the S.C. border in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

We are near two beaches, and twice in five years we have experienced snow for a day!

But – most of the time it is warm – bright sunshine- breezy –

And comfortable to walk, and if too hot-

Head for the beaches and breezes.

Here is OIB and the bridge to the beach –

The same can be said for Sunset Beach and Holden Beach.

We are close to all three.

We also walk the beaches in the Winter months as long as it is not windy.

The sand stings your face when the wind blows hard.

There are times in the Winter months – Spring and Fall –

That we golf with friends.

The four seasons here allow us, at times, to do just that!

I can say that we have found our forever home and area to live in.

At least it works for us.

Staying healthy in our advancing senior years.

Building our IMMUNE SYSTEM for over twenty years!

Papa’s World – Spending time together.

June 8, 2026March 4, 2026 / Tom / Leave a comment

Our senior years are spent doing as many things together as we can.

Volunteering – here we are with some other folks from the Protection of Sea Turtles.

This day, a group of us volunteered for trash pickup along the streets of Ocean Isle Beach.

We spent about three hours on our assigned streets-

Then we, along with a hundred other volunteers-

Met back at the park, where they provided lunch and drinks for us.

We sat here on the stage and ate and talked.

From mid May to mid-October –

We are on the beach in some manner for the Protection of Sea Turrles.

This will be our fourth season of volunteering.

We also volunteer for our church for the Brunswick County Food Pantry.

This involves the second Saturday of every month –

Where our church operates the county food pantry.

We are there between 8am and 8:30 am.

We have 20 to 30 volunteers –

And I am usually assigned to direct parking.

Sherry works inside at produce, meat, eggs, or as a shopper who fills the cart with the supplies each family gets.

As a shopper, she wheels the cart outside to be loaded into the designated car.

Loaders perform this duty, and then she returns inside for her next order.

On the other assignments –

She works at an item storage spot and fills the order as the shopper wheels the cart by.

Outside- a volunteer directs the car to me-

I greet them and ask a few questions, and then instruct them to a spot and “BACK” in.

Many people have trouble backing into a spot –

And I help them.

I give them a number that they show on their dashboard-

And if they are unable to walk over to the sign-in station-

I give them a colored sticker that is placed on the windshield.

We have roving volunteers who will then come to the car and get them signed in.

I tell them when to go and sign in, and that someone will tell them when to go and pick up.

They remain in their cars and are loaded by volunteers.

We handle about 100 to 130 cars during the three hours we are there.

Most are seniors, and many can not walk far.

Many are families, and the total number of people runs between 250 and 275.

This is a service much needed in our county.

Other churches do the remaining Saturdays of the month-

And we are starting on Friday – 6pm to 8pm.

There are so many families.

For over twenty years, together we have made this our supplement of choice.

Aging as healthily as we can together into our senior years.

Together we walk the beach.

There are certain things that I do not do-

She has card-making, group chats, and women’s games.

But we golf together and with others.

We shop, and I drive.

We explore together –

We watch TV together.

We visit family and friends together.

Since this day – 6-25-1982 –

Our wedding day –

We have been together.

June 7, 2026March 3, 2026 / Tom / Leave a comment

SENIOR LIVING – It seems that later in life,

The “COUCH” gets more inviting as the day goes by! LOL

We have calendars –

To keep track of appointments-

Volunteer work –

Errands and shopping.

Meet-ups with friends –

“How did we ever find time to work”?

The children you raised have moved on!

The grandkids are also ready to take flight-

Be it sports, activities, jobs, or everyday life.

You become a source of –

“How are you? When can we see you?

Then the vacations come and go –

That “COUCH” becomes more comfortable.

I drink my coffee early in the morning –

One cup –

Before dawn.

I read the online newspaper –

I do not watch or listen to cable news.

Facebook – I unfollow those who try to change your minds –

With endless postings.

Being a senior, life becomes too short to listen to all the nonsense.

I am registered as INDEPENDENT!

I cast my vote and then move on.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO DWELL ON WHAT YOU CAN NOT CHANGE, OTHER THAN VOTING!

Being a SENIOR –

We try to give back as much as we can.

Helping others –

Less fortunate.

VOLUNTEERING –

Church – family and friends.

SENIOR LIVING –

Near the beach – playing some golf –

And that couch when watching TV together-

Until early bedtime.

It all starts over for me before the dawn of the day.

That first cup of coffee to start the day –

IN THE LIFE OF A SENIOR!

The long walkway of the Ocean Isle Beach community center-

This entrance ends up on the beach at the VOLLEYBALL NET!

To the right, about a half mile is the OIB pier!

We often come here and park across the street.

The community center has restrooms –

And an easy walk to the pier or East to the groin area.

The “GROIN” is a 900-foot granite boulder wall –

Installed a couple of years ago to help protect the beach and erosion that has claimed parts of streets one and two.

This beach is where Sherry and I volunteer for the Protection of Sea Turtles.

We are now in our fourth season.

This year –

Our granddaughter Taylor –

Has applied to be an intern and will spend two weeks with us and intern.

One or both of us has to be with her at all times!

In the middle –

Taylor with her parents –

Marcus and Tammy.

This young lady tried out and made the basketball team in her freshman year –

And is of the writing –

Trying out for the soccer team.

She sings in church –

Has ridden horses since she was five or six years old.

Taylor’s first time on a horse!

Today – Taylor rides almost every week.

She works at two barns –

Cleaning stalls and grooming horses!

She is as tall as Sherry –

And her lowest grade was a B+, and the rest –

A or A+!

A remarkable young lady who also plays violin and has taught herself to play guitar!

THE MEMORIES OF LIFE!

Sharry and Papa-

My grade school buddy and his wife, Bob and Pam.

We spent some time in Florida and met up with them at Disney Springs.

Today, they are leasing a home some nine miles away.

They have taken a year off from RVING!

We have many memories together growing up in Eldred, Pa.

By now –

I think you all know I hate snow-ice –

That is one reason we moved to OIB –

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

This is the home we live in now in Cameron Woods Community,

Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

We are happy with the weather here-

It can become hot –

Then we will go for ten minutes to the beach!

Our ten-minute drive brings us to the Causeway Bridge-

And we told Cassidy and Taylor to get down on the floor behind our seats.

It all happened so fast.

Across the street in the park –

Huge trees came down.

There was nowhere to go, and we just huddled and rode it out!

The scariest we have ever encountered!

June 25th. 1982- on our wedding day.

Our life together started with two sets of children.

This was the second marriage for both of us.

Sherry had two young daughters –

Debby – the oldest – is 7 or 8 years old.

And Tammy is 4 years old.

My two boys were Troy – the oldest – 14 or 15 years old –

And the youngest – Shawn – is 9 or 10 years old.

The boys stayed with their mother while the girls stayed with Sherry.

We lived way up at the end of the East Windfall Road.

About ten miles to the school and just over the hill from Olean, N.Y.

But we were in the far corner of the Portville school district.

The driveway was 1/10th of a mile long.

Good for sled riding in the winter –

But the rest of the time, I had to mow it up and down both sides.

That first year was with a gas push mower, and then we bought a ride mower.

All told, over an acre of lawn to mow, up and down, and part on a side hill.

That first year- it would take me three days – rest one day –

And start over again.

Way up back – we had a fire pit.

There were only two neighbors –

One we could see across the valley and hill-

And one at the very end of the driveway.

There was another family up the hill out of sight-

They had a couple of children who were friends of the girls.

Other than that, country living.

Any events or church –

Was at least a ten-mile drive.

The girls became involved in sports, and I would pick up the boys every other weekend.

Which was a 18 mile drive one way.

Money was scarce-

So we planned day outings to parks – state parks –

Packing food –

Looking back, we did not seem to care that we had no money –

We made the best of everything!

We were busy with work, the kids, church, and the church youth group.

All four were in the youth group.

We took camping trips with the youth group.

A canoe trip down the Alleghany River –

The boys went, but the girls did not go.

Church became a big part of our lives.

Many activities for us as a family since the divorce-

We had each other, and to this day-

We still have church in our lives and each other.

We lived out in the country for about five years.

But – we yearned to get closer to the church and the school and to my sons.

We found a house in Pleasant Acres Drive just three miles from the school.

We were still in the Portville school district.

We were also about three miles from the church.

My oldest son had graduated from high school.

But we still did things as a family with my youngest son.

Here is where we met our decades-old friends –

The McBrides – Buck and Cindy!

Cindy, Buck, Sherry, and Papa.

We were neighbors until mid 90s, they moved to the Wilmington, N.C. area.

We stayed in touch –

We visited them in N.C. several times.

Then we started touring the country with them.

Eventually out of the country.

During these times and after –

We transferred to NVA!

The kids had all graduated and from college.

We were empty nesters.

Within two years –

Both girls had followed us to NVA.

The boys stayed in NWPA.

Debby had married, and they had Maddy –

Less than a year old.

They all stayed with us until they found their own homes.

We still visited Buck and Cindy and were still friends with Dottie and Jim

Both from Eldred and I had known them before Sherry.

To the left- Debbie, a friend of Jim and Dottie.

Then Cindy and Sherry- Buck and Papa.

Cindy and Buck knew Jim and Dottie before us.

But I grew up with Jim and Dottie in Eldred, Pa.

Jim and Dottie met Debbie after they moved to Va. Beach area.

Sherry – Jim and I all worked for American Olean Tile-Dal Tile.

We are all still to this day –

Get together at one anothers homes.

Jim and Dottie have since retired and moved to the northeastern coast of N.C.

FRIENDSHIPS that have lasted for decades.

I use it as a replacement for a meal.

FORTY FOUR YEARS LATER!

Our road is well-traveled.

We have since bought, sold, and built houses.

We now live in SENC-

Ocean Isle Beach – Cameron Woods Community.

Close to the border of S.C.

WE ARE 38 miles from Buck and Cindy-

Time goes on.

Papa’s World – Looking back in pictures!

May 30, 2026February 21, 2026 / Tom / Leave a comment

Late June – 1982 – Sherry – on our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic!

We were married on a Friday evening.

We celebrated at a local disco bar dance place with family!

The next day, we drove to Toronto, Canada, and stayed overnight.

Sunday morning, we flew out of Toronto to the Dominican Republic, to Jack Tar Village.

Everyone on the flight were Candianians.

And we were the only people from the USA!

This was a all exclusive resort –

And we departed the plane directly onto the pavement, and it was well over 100 degrees!

We checked in and were driven to our villa by golf cart.

We had to have our pictures taken and put into a holder to hang around our necks.

This way we could show ID and eat and drink!

Until then, we could drink bottled water and sodas.

I took this picture while we were waiting-

It seemed like hours, but it was less than that.

Upon arrival –

There were armed military personnel all over the place.

We wondered what we had gotten ourselves into.

I learned on that trip what FREEDOM is all about,

Living in the USA!

Later, we found out that the President of the Dominican Republic had committed suicide!!!!

WOW – nervous we were –

But we were never bothered and had a great week.

Enjoying the resort and taking several excursions into the large city –

But only two or three-storied buildings.

There was a large soccer- baseball stadium nearby-

At night, we could hear and see the lights in the dark sky.

On our wedding day – June 25th. 1982.

Shopping – there was no change exchanged –

If it were $19.25, you paid $20.00 and received no change!

We had to exchange our money.

We were taken into the small city.

All of us! (MAYBE A DOZEN COUPLES)

We went into an upscale women’s clothing store.

We waited in line at the entrance to a closed door in the back.

I SWEAR WE WERE IN A MOVIE WITH HUMPHRY BOGART!

A ceiling fan overhead –

A small peep door opened, and a pair of eyes we could see.

Spanish was spoken, and then the door opened.

There were about a dozen of us who had not made the money exchange before leaving Canada.

Inside was a man sitting at the far end of the room at a green felt table.

A single light hung over it.

He sat there with a metal box on the table.

He had on a long-sleeved white shirt-

The biceps had an arm band type thing and he had this visor on.

On either side of him were armed guards.

Our guide was named SANTANA!

He would translate, and he said not to say anything!

That man handled the entire money exchange.

I do not know if he got a commission or not –

But everyone was quiet, and it was all done in minutes.

We were escorted out of the room and across the shop to the outside.

Here we were swamped by dozens of old ladies hawking all sorts of goods!

He ushered us straight through them to the bus, and we pulled away!

NEVER HAVE WE EXPIERENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!

Feeding cake to one another –

AND NO – WE DID NOT SMASH IT INTO OUR MOUTHS!

Sanatana knew Sherry and me were from the USA because of our accents.

We became friendly,

And he talked to us all the time.

He asked where we lived,

And we said NYS!

He asked WHERE?

We said Portville near Olean in WNY!

He said – “OH – RIGHT OFF RTE. 17!!!!!”

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT I ASKED?

He told us for years he had driven semi-tractors from Cleveland to Albany!

Going right past the exits to OLEAN, NY!

After that,

He took us everywhere in his bus,

And we got to trust him.

On one trip, he took us and three other couples to a DICO-CLUB that was closed for the day.

He had a key-

It was shaped like a huge SOMBERO!

He opened it up –

Turned on the lights and the music.

We had the whole place to ourselves.

He asked if we wanted beer,

And it was in quart bottles!

Needless to say, we did not drink it all!

We had many more adventures while there on our honeymoon.

Our life officially started together on 6-25-1982!

We were young – early 30’s and both single but divorced!

Those early years were times that we shall always cherish.

Nothing “WILD” but living life and enjoying it!

The early years –

Hardly any money –

Working to survive –

But – wonderful in the sense we had each other.

Raising two sets of children –

Her two daughters and my two boys.

Taking long weekend trips and packing lunches – dinners to save on money.

Doing things that had no cost and were free!

Then the sports began, and with that –

Trips back and forth.

All four had sports and whatever came with it!

It seemed an endless life of travel!

But- the memories of all that are priceless –

I would not change a thing and wish we could do it again!

Along our path of marriage –

We have made lifelong friends –

DECADES!

Dottie – from the same town as me.

Decades of friendships!

Cindy – our neighbor back in WNY!

Decades later – still friends!

Bob and Pam –

My grade school friend and his wife.

We are still in contact and get together.

Diane and Sherry.

Our new neighbor in Cameron Woods Community is now a friend.

She has a cottage back in WNY where we lived nearby!

Here are Jimmy and Buck.

Outside of grade school –

My two oldest friends.

We still get together.

LOL-W HAT LANDLINE???? LOL!!!!!

We have not had a landline in twenty years!

But- I do remember when I was younger –

WE HAD A PARTY LINE!

Growing up in WPA in the little town of Eldred, Pa.

The phone – if you picked it up-

You just might hear someone talking!

That was the “PARTY LINE”!

I still remember my parents’ home phone number and my sisters who lived right next door!

GENERATIONS – FAMILY and FRIENDS!

Papa- Sherry, Cindy, and Buck.

This is on one of our trips we took together.

We went to Asheville, N.C. –

And we visited the SIERRA NEVEDA BREWERY and TAPROOM!

Here we went on a tour of the Brewery –

Had a beer tasting and ended up in the restaurant on site for a drink and some food.

It was a first for us to see the process of brewing a national beer from the beginning to the end.

FRIENDS – very important for us.

The list of brews on tap at the brewery!

Sherry and Cindy are on a tour of the brewery.

I would go back someday just to see if any changes were made.

The next part of our GENERATIONS –

Is our Family!

The Myers –

Our daughter Debby –

Her husband Mike –

Sarah, Ella, Maddy, and her boyfriend, Kendrick.

Debby is the oldest daughter, and the three girls are the oldest grandchildren.

FAMILY is very important to us.

We spend time back and forth-

And they come to see us!

We often meet the youngest grandchildren halfway.

Here, we are dropping them off for their parents half way.

Cassidy, Bode, Sherry, Papa, and Taylor!

Taylor will come down for two weeks and be an intern-

For the Protection of Sea Turtles at OIB!

She remembered a presentation about the program two years ago.

Called Sherry and wanted an application!

All on her own!

She filled it out and also sent her grades as a Freshman in H.S. which was required.

Her lowest grade was a B+ – the rest were A+ or A.

The one condition is that we have to be with her 100% of the time when she is involved!

FAMILY IS IMPORTANT TO US!

Marcus – Bode and Tammy –

Our youngest daughter.

It will be strange during those two weeks not having the other two here with us.

Papa’s World – Life in the SLOW LANE!

May 20, 2026February 11, 2026 / Tom / Leave a comment

LOL – Yes – those early years are long gone!

Today, it is for us “THE MIDDLE LANE” for traveling!

To say the least, we hate traveling the I95 North to South corridor.

But – since we live on the borders of N.C. and S.C. –

And as far East and the seaboard as we can get-

It is a must route unless you are willing to add maybe three hours to your trip!

I mostly stay in the middle lane for a couple of reasons.

Ingress and Egress in the far right lane –

Makes it dangerous for me when traffic comes barreling onto the highway.

Plus, it seems this is where all the large trucks are, and I can not see beyond them.

So I stay in the middle lane and set my cruise control to 3 to 4 miles over the speed limit.

Maintaining that speed so traffic can pass me on the right or left.

If I see a long line behind me, I will move over –

But it seems like when I do that – next thing I know, someone is attempting to gain access onto my lane and brake time is applied!

So for the most part, I stay in the middle.

Being well into my SENIOR YEARS –

Going “FAST” is not an option for me.

I am not comfortable going with the “FLOW” sometimes 10 to 15 MPH over the speed limit!

Being older, my reactions are not what they used to be.

People are aggressive at those speeds –

And I have seen too many near misses or accidents that have happened.

THUS – I AM PART OF LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE and comfortable being here.

SENIOR THOUGHT FOR THE DAY! LOL

We run errands –

Be it appointments –

Shopping – I love going to the OUTLET MALL-

There is a Starbucks there .

An area outside where artificial grass, chairs, and palm trees –

A place to sip and watch people and guard Sherry’s ICE TEA!

She comes back every so often –

Sometimes with a package –

Takes a sip of tea and off again to one of the stores.

Me – I still am sipping that coffee from STARBUCKS!

AGAIN – LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE FOR ME!

FRIENDS – we all lived near one another in WNY – Portville – Pleasant Acres Drive –

Back in the 80’s and 90’s.

Today, we are within a 35 mile rediace.

North Carolina – all are retired –

We enjoy our little get-togethers –

We all live LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE!

Our slow lane roadway to enhanced IMMUNE SYSTEMS for over TWENTY YEARS!

We have vacationed in the World with them.

Ocean Isle Beach Causeway Bridge!

We live on the mainland close to this bridge.

In ten minutes, we will cross the bridge.

Our lives changed when we moved South.

We left friends and family behind.

Some friends have since moved down near us.

Family has been to visit numerous times, and we have made the trip back to see them often.

Which, before we sold our house, we said we would do.

The trip back up I95 is not one I cherish.

So we try to stay off it as much as we can.

But this area –

Close to three beaches, stores, and entertainment –

Is suited for us.

In the five years we have lived near here-

We have experienced two snow and ice storms.

Very rare for this area.

We have experienced one hurricane – Category 1!

I have doubts if we will stay for 2 or 3!

Time will tell.

But the sun and blue skies –

The warm weather –

The golf is just across the road, and there are 30 other courses nearby.

Entertainment – shows and acts –

Is just thirty to sixty minutes away.

Sipping coffee and tea on the ICW –

Volunteering for The Protection of Sea Turtles each summer.

Live bands are in concerts all around us for the summer months.

Festivals in the other months of the year.

The three youngest grandkids love to come and spend time with PAPA and MORMOR!

The three oldest have been here also.

Their lives have changed.

Two have graduated from college, and the youngest is in her first year of college.

But the bonds remain there.

My two sons and their families have been to visit us.

It is a long 16-hour drive for them.

FAMILY IS IMPORTANT TO US!

We now have past friends living five to forty-five minutes away.

Others, a couple of hours.

We get together and continue those friendships.

FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT TO US!

In retirement, we have no schedule.

An afternoon sitting in the shade of Sunset Beach Park –

Reading and watching the boats traveling up and down the ICW!

Our dreams have come true in our senior years.

An early morning coffee and tea at the OIB marina-

And 59 Causeway bar and grill.

Watching the boats come in or just relaxing!

This is our life now.

We also have been practicing Healthy alternatives for over twenty years-

Papa’s World – Early years in Eldred,Pa.

May 18, 2026February 9, 2026 / Tom / Leave a comment

LOL- I do keep lists of things, places, and appointments –

Simple reminders as I go through each day.

I can honestly say I LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME!

I spent the first 30 years of my life-

In a little town near the WNY border called Eldred in NWPA!

Small Town – maybe 800 inhabitants.

It was you know everyone, and everyone knew your parents and family!

The Eldred Boro Elementary School.

Right across from the town’s ball field.

Where we would go to watch the baseball teams play.

The first four years of school –

I went to a combination H.S. and Elementary school.

Grades one through twelve.

It was a good mile from my North Main Street home.

Sometimes I would walk the railroad tracks to the Barden Brook Creek and then cross the bridge –

And the main street and walk on the sidewalk to the school.

Then, in grade five, they opened this school, and I was in the first class to go there.

Fifth grade and Miss Cawley.

She ruled her classes with an iron fist.

She had also taught in the other H.S. – Elementary school.

Mr. Harrington was the school Principal and also taught sixth grade.

We had a combination gym and cafeteria.

It was in the gym that, while running from being tagged –

I was pushed and slammed into the wall, and broke my right arm!

It was also in this gym that stages were set up for school plays around the Holidays.

I played the Angel Gabriel!

NERVES abounded in those early years, as I was and am a horrible singer.

I also signed up and took drum lessons.

I was given two drumsticks and some sort of board to practice on!

Didn’t last long! LOL

It was here that instead of walking –

I rode my bike as I was used to that, having ridden the same path to the park to play!

I also walked to school, meeting up with friends along the way!

Later in life, I took my youngest son, Shawn –

To sign up for kindergarten,

Unknown to me –

On the way, he had picked up worms and stuffed them in his pocket.

To my surprise, he reached in and brought them out just before we were to meet the teacher in the lobby!

We made a quick exit and got rid of them, and I cleaned his hands off with my hankie!

All part of growing up in Eldred!

We lived in the valley of the Alleghany mountains(foothills)-

The Alleghany River ran through on its way through Pa. –

To NYS and back down again through to Pa. and eventually Pittsburgh, Pa.

I have canoed down that river twice.

The first time was with a group called the EXPLOYERS!

Between our Sophomore and Junior years in H.S.

While the girls of the Sophomore class went to the prom –

We went canoeing on the river.

My partner in my canoe was Bobby Goodman.

To this day, we remain good friends and play golf together.

The second time was with the church youth group –

I think we had fourteen youths and three adults!

Otto-Eldred High School, where I went seventh through twelfth grade and graduated.

We did not have a big class –

Somewhere over 100 kids.

Quite a few have passed away.

In my senior year –

After playing two football games-

I was in a car accident-

I spent 51 days in the hospital in traction.

I did not know if I would ever walk again.

I was in a wheelchair for months after being released.

I was reclassified for the draft –

The VIETNAM WAR was raging!

Then I went to crutches and to a cane.

I walked for my graduation.

One week after graduation –

I was hired at American Olean Tile Plant.

I was married with a small baby boy who was named Troy!

I ended up working for this company for 47 1/2 years.

I worked in Olean, N.Y. –

In 1999, I transferred to Alexandria, VA, near the Springfield Metro.

During my time in Olean, we were owned by National Gypsum.

!980 some I was divorced and met Sherry, who worked in Payroll.

We were married on 6-25-1982 – she had also divorced.

I had two sons, and she had two daughters.

All young!

We raised both sets, although the boys lived with their mother.

After they all were gone from the houses-

We both transferred to NVA!

She went to Chantilly –

And at this time, we were owned by Armstrong!

She managed two different locations – the last in Chantilly, across from the Dulles airport.

She then took the outside sales job encompassing NVA and some of WV.

By this time, we were owned by Mohawk.

I worked at four different locations.

We both retired with a combined 79 1/2 years of service to the same company!

My early years in Eldred, Pa.

A lot of memories – experiences that I would never trade away!

It seems like every year it floods –

But 1972 was the worst,

It reached the second floors of most homes –

We were lucky – we lived on North Main Street-

Which was higher and out of the flood waters.

Sherry – Papa – Pam, and my grade school buddy – BOBBY!

It has been a long road since those early years in Eldred, PA.

Looking back to the early years.

Memories of life as I recall it.

A memory in a picture in time!

Before we left for S.C – N.C. –

As a family, we spent our last day hiking the mountains along the Blue Ridge of Va.

Here are Tammy’s three children – the youngest grandchildren.

Bode- Taylor – Cassidy and Tammy.

Today, the twins are freshmen in H.S.-

And Bode is about to go into middle school.

THIS IS REMEMBERING FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS!

The National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

We made many trips here with Family and Friends!

Our days began on the Metro and the ride into the Capital.

All the grandkids loved it, and the tours we took showed them a beautiful city.

Ella and Maddy, the day we took a walking tour of the Cemetery and then across the 14th Street Bridge-

Onto the mall and ‘ROLLING THUNDER’ with thousands of motorcycles!

THIS IS REMEMBERING FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS!

Papa and Sherry –

Sitting in the middle of the common area of the RESTON TOWN CENTER –

Visiting our close friends –

GINGER and JASON –

Who now built a house close to Leland in Brunswick Forest –

About 35 miles from us.

LOL – Being a senior, I can very well relate to this!

Before we moved to Cameron Woods Community at OIB-

We stayed off and on with Marcus and Tammy just outside of Leesburg, Va.

Here are Bode, Cassidy, and Taylor walking to the bus stop!

And if you look closely – Taylor is walking MARLEY the granddog!

OLD TIMES IN PICTURES!

Here they all are before the walk!

Marly has gotten so big, and the kids are now in H.S. (the twins) –

And Bode is about to go into middle school!

OLD TIMES IN PICTURES!

When Sherry and I travel to Myrtle Beach to go to the outlet stores-

We walk to Starbucks –

She gets an iced tea and I get a cup of coffee!

There is an area that has palm trees, chairs, benches, and artificial grass-

I select my seat and sit down!

I sip my coffee and stand guard over her iced tea.

She continues to shop –

While I PEOPLE WATCH!

She comes back and leaves her packages –

Sips her Iced Tea and then continues!

THIS IS MY HAPPY PLACE!

OLD TIMES IN PICTURES!

In 2021, we moved into our new home.

The following year, we started landscaping!

Here is the first phase, and you can still see the mulch along the side of the house.

Now – all the way around is matching stone!

The inside lanai is no longer screened in –

But a clear flexible plastic with a screen is there now-

Turning that room into a three-season room and a fourth with a heater!

Papa’s World – May 7th. 1949 – 77 years – ME!

May 7, 2026January 29, 2026 / Tom / Leave a comment

I was born in Olean, N.Y., at Saint Francis Hospital.

I had a sister, 15 years old at the time, and a brother, 10 years old at the time.

My mother’s mother lived with us.

Grandma took care of me as both my parents worked.

My earliest memory is sitting on her lap on the front porch-

And seeing a neighborhood young boy across the street-

On his way walking to school!

I asked her when I could go to school, and she said in two years.

That would make me about four years old!

My younger brother was born about four years later.

Today I turn 77 years old –

And I think back to, “Where did the time go?”

Yet, I have no regrets as I feel blessed to have experienced all that my life offered.

The first 30 years I spent living in a small town in NWPA –

Near the border of WNY –

In what is called ELDRED, PA.

At 18 –

One week after I graduated from H.S.-

I started work at AMERICAN OLEAN TILE –

Across the border in Olean, N.Y.

And – 47 1/2 years later –

Retired from the same company, now called DAL-TILE!

After transferring in 1999 to NVA –

Working at six different locations –

I ended up in Dulles- Chantilly –

At the Slab yard – Sales Service Center warehouse.

I wore many hats during those 47 1/2 years.

I also met Sherry at the Olean Factory –

She was in Payroll, and I was in shipping.

That was around mid 1980 –

That we began to date after she went through a divorce-

And I did too!

We were married on June 25th. 1982!

That was almost 44 years ago!

My two sons still live back in that area –

And her two daughters live in NVA!

We now live in Ocean Isle Beach in N.C.-

Near the border of S.C.

We moved during the Pandemic –

Form here in NVA –

To North Myrtle Beach, S.C.

We eventually had a house built in Cameron Woods Community-

Ocean Isle Beach on the mainland in N.C.

The Pandemic changed our lives –

We sold our home after 14 1/2 years –

It went way up in value as the 401K dropped.

We said our goodbyes –

Loaded our car and left for the South.

Warmer weather –

And live out our senior years.

Our health was a big factor these past Twenty Years!

So we did the research – read the published studies and decided to take a supplement!

And now have for TWENTY YEARS!

Over the past TWENTY YEARS –

Building our IMMUNE SYSTEMS!

At NO OBLIGATION – visit Sherry’s website-

Just look around – an email and phone number are there if you want to converse.

Or – order in a cart or just not!

It is up to you – but we highly recommend the supplement.

Today I am 77 years old – In two months, Sherry will be the same.

On June 25th.

It will be 44 years since we got married.

Sherry at the BILTMORE ESTATE on one of our trips.

We have been here twice and want to visit during the holiday season to see the decorations!

In 2020, during the Pandemic –

We spent the first nine months here in North Myrtle Beach until our new home was finished!

We really explored all of the area and into N.C.

This area was high on our list, but we just could not find anything that did not require a lot of money-

To update!

A lot of good memories from our time here!

June 25th, 1982 – our wedding day!

It seems like only yesterday –

All the years have gone by-

GOOD MEMORIES!

While we were in ASHVILLE,

We visited the SERRA NEVADA BREWERY!

We were on a tour and saw how the beer is made-

And then we did a tasting!

GOOD MEMORIES!

LOL – However – I like PBR!

In fact –

We have a local hangout on the beach –

Called – “PELICANS PERCH” –

Where can I get $2.00 PBR’S!

Last time there with my buddy – Bob-

We each had three PBR’s and a meatball sandwich,

And a bag of chips –

FOR A TOTAL OF JUST UNDER $17.00 each!

GOOD MEMORIES!

For additional information and no obligation!

We just stopped and looked around.

AGING – Where have all the years gone?

With that being said, I feel blessed!

I am happy with my life- everything I have done and how I lived.

Now – in our SENIOR years-

We have settled in at Cameron Woods Community –

And in a few months, five years have passed!

We have made this home “OUR HOME” in our Senior years!

We enjoy golfing –

Not very good at it –

But – just being outside-

And the chance for a par, or if lucky, a birdie.

I am just happy not to lose my ball! LOL

We live near so many golf courses.

And I purchased a card called “THE TRAIL CARD”!

That gives me a discount on a great number of courses and as a guest-

Sherry also gets a discount!

Today, we are at the age of just being satisfied playing nine holes-

Then going out to dinner as we prefer to play around 2pm.

We have lifelong friends with whom we play or just get together-

Movie – dinner or a show!

Buck and Cindy were our neighbors back in WNY!

Today, we live 38 miles from them in OIB.

We now have a lot of friends who moved to NC and SC, and we meet up with them!

LIFE AS A SENIOR IS GETTING BETTER!

Our Community entrance!

We selected this community because of all the land and trees that are protected and will remain here.

Yet, we are but a few miles from the beaches, shopping, and entertainment.

SOUTH CAROLINA – the border is but 7 miles away.

Our community is quiet, yet we know many people.

My grade school buddy – Bob and his wife Pam-

Have leased a home nearby after 61/2 years of RVING all over the country!

They are testing it out to see if they like it here and yet still be a day’s drive from families!

Our neighborhood friends –

A friendly Steelers vs. Bills get-together!

Another football game watch!

At a open air concerts at the park in OIB!

Debby – Papa and Sherry –

On one of our many trips to the JUICE PLUS CONVENTION!

Being a SENIOR requires us to age as healthily as we can.

For me, making choices for my health in what I eat!

For Sherry – my go-to – helps me in making those choices!

She is a CERTIFIED HEALTH CONSULTANT!

She has guided me since my HEART ATTACK back in 2013.

I LISTEN!

Our senior years – making memories and remembering them!

Not as easy as it sounds!

We both have calendars-

Which we write down all sorts of things!

MEMORY JOGGERS I call them!

I also make notes and keep them within sight!

This is all part of aging!

On Monday, Wednesday and Fridays –

I can go to the recycling-

At the park across the street.

These are the days when the bin is changed.

Then there is Tuesdays!

That is the day we make sure all trash baskets in the house are cleaned out!

The garbage bin is rolled out around 4pm.

Wednesday morning –

The garbage truck comes and empties around 9am.

BUT – That sometimes does not happen until the afternoon!

WHY? I do not know –

But to make sure it is out there –

We- the neighborhood – put out the trash late Tuesday afternoon!

So – for memory – that takes care of Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday and Fridays!

SPORTS!

Football – NFL – they play multiple days of the week!

And we have two favorite teams –

The Commanders and the Bills!

And that helps with memory also!

For me, I also follow college basketball –

My team is The Saint Bonaventure Basketball BONNIES!

Ever since my father took me to games in the mid 50s-

I have been a faithful follower!

SPORTS HELP ME TO REMEMBER THE DAYS OF THE WEEK!

As does CHURCH!

Sundays – we belong at Saint Luke’s Lutheran Church of Sahllotte-

Right on highway 17 – some ten minutes from our home.

Another reminder of what day of the week it is!

We accept the Senior life!

We volunteer – we help when we can and donate what we can.

Life as a senior can be eventful –

You just make it as you can and accept what you can not do!

LIVING HEALTHY AS YOU CAN!

Doctors – meds- appointments – all part of being a SENIOR!

WELL BEING – LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER!

FAMILY – STAYING IN TOUCH AND SEEING THEM WHEN WE CAN AND ARE ABLE!

We have been maintaining our healthy living for over TWENTY years.

Aging as healthily as we can into and through our SENIOR YEARS!

Building our IMMUNE systems –

A view of Ocean Isle Beach from the “GROIN” area looking SW.

The area behind the “GROIN” pictured here –

It is eroding fast!

The dunes are almost gone, along with the trees and vegetation.

The surf comes in and pulls the sand out.

The “Groin” was put here to stop that from happening where the houses are.

A beach replenishing pumped acres of sand in from dredging operations.

First and second avenues had disappeared, and third avenue was in danger of vanishing!

At high tide,

The ocean water actually was almost under the white house-

But for huge sandbags –

Surrounding it!

Those bags remained there, and sand blew in over them.

Such is beach life –

We chose to stay on the mainland –

And commute to here when we want to!

SUNSHINE – BLUE SKIES and BEACH LIFE!

This is the OIB public park on the island.

Open-air concerts are held here from mid-May to the beginning of October.

After October, there are festivals held here!

It is one of the perks we knew of when we decided to build our home in –

CAMERON WOODS COMMUNITY!

SUNSHINE – BLUE SKIES and BEACH LIFE!

Our home –

The driveway looking toward the sunrise in the East.

This part of the coastline faces almost due South-

Because of the curvature from Charleston to the Outer Banks.

The storms tend to come up the coast and veer out, but sometimes –

They hit.

We have had one Category One storm.

It was scary, and not sure if we will stay for the stronger ones.

We are back some two to three miles from the coastline.

It is the wind I worry about and the protected nature trees we have here.

We have protected wildlife areas here and large trees behind the house.

But – the wind seems to come sideways, and the trees move in that direction-

And not toward the house.

The beauty of all the trees is one reason we chose this community-

Instead of all the clear-cut ones.

And in the picture, you can see a little part of all the trees!

SUNSHINE – BLUE SKIES and the BEACH LIFE!

Our way for more than twenty years to get the nutrients of 30 –

FRUITS – VEGETABLES and BERRIES directly into our bloodstreams.

My journey through life these past 45 years has been amazing!

You see –

That is about the time Sherry and I started seeing each other, plus a few months.

Our lives together have spanned all that time.

We raised two sets of children –

Her two daughters and my two sons (they still lived with their mother).

Those days were a struggle as money was just not there.

But we made do!

June 25th. 1982 – our wedding day.

The early years were spent living way out in the country!

The daughter’s school was about eleven miles away,

And my son’s home is about fifteen miles away.

We were constantly driving the kids back and forth.

Our driveway was 1/10th of a mile long!

Good for sled riding in winter snows –

But had to be plowed often.

We could just see the neighbor at the end of the driveway,

And the same across the hill at the other neighbor.

Cindy and Dottie –

Two of our earliest friends,

Along with Buck and Jimmy, their husbands.

Cindy – Dottie – Sherry – Buck and Jimmy!

Our friendships have lasted since the end of the 70’s and into the 80’s!

We have vacationed together and traveled the world.

Our children were all involved with us as friends!

Today we are all retired –

All have grandkids.

Life has been good-

And as seniors –

We live as healthily-

As we can.

We have taken a supplement for over TWENTY years!

Which, in your senior years, is so important!

Andrea and Troy – my son and Sherry on the pier!

FAMILY is so important to us.

My sons have driven some 15 hours to come and visit us!

Trisha and Shawn – my younger son, Sherry, and Papa.

They have been down several times –

And want to come in mid-summer to see the Sea Turtles hatch!

Having family stay was a major consideration when we built this house.

We have room for them.

LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN THEY COME BACK!

FAMILY TIME!!!

FRIENDS are also important to us.

We have lifelong friends whom we see two or three times a year.

Cindy – Debbie – Dottie and Sherry!

We try to get together for long weekends and golf.

The four guys –

Waiting for the gals to tee off.

No – they said to go first! LOL

We play a scramble against them –

And after much discussion –

Strokes are given –

Not many because it is close without them!

And we won by “ONE STROKE”! WHEW!

In this year –

We have reset our goals.

As aging seniors –

We take care of one another.

Our goals are to age healthily as long as we can.

For me-

I do not drink sodas – and have cut out milk entirely.

I also have cut way back on having the occasional beer!

I limit my intake of red meat –

I watch out for starches because I am borderline diabetic.

I take meds for that.

I blog every day –

For this is a journal of our lives!

BUT –

It keeps my mind active in memories!

Living is far from simple!

Living healthy is not easy!

So – I have taken this for me –

“TO LIVE LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME”!

When you have ailments that prevent you from walking long distances-

At least in my case –

I still go out,

Although I take shorter walks.

My problem is my right calf.

After a walk –

It starts to hurt, and I begin to limp!

There is a 50% blockage there –

But – it is calcified and will not break free.

I just have to work through it until I can no longer endure the pain afterward.

I am monitored by a vascular doctor-

My heart doctor and my GP!

All those early years of poor eating led to this.

I still maintain a healthy lifestyle –

Eating healthy –

For the past twenty years.

I still walk short distances –

With no pain and no problems.

But – I am learning –

I am doing what I can –

And thanking God that I have lived my life –

I am closer to 80 than 70!

I still golf as long as I have a cart.

And it still is fun for me!

LIVING LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME!

I am blessed to have a wife who coaches me –

Watches over me, and we are growing old together.

After twenty years –

I still need to take this supplement-

To help me on my journey!

Those early years – if only I had them back!

But I am committed to this every day.

I believe it is helping me!

The high school I graduated from-

It was in 1967.

Otto-Eldred H.S.

I have many long-time friends from that era of my life.

I stay in contact with –

Some I see yearly –

Others through social media.

But the Memories are still present –

The times we spent together as youths.

MORE MEMORIES – FRIENDS!

Bobby – Pam – Sherry and Papa.

Here is my longtime friend from grade school – Bob.

We have stayed in contact all these years.

They have traveled the country for the last six plus years in an RV.

They decided to lease a house some nine miles from us for a year.

So – we play golf together –

See shows and have get-togethers –

Time spent in friendships!

From childhood friends to senior living friends!

MORE MEMORIES – FRIENDS!

Here we are –

Buck – Cindy – Sherry – Papa – Dottie and Jim.

Dottie – Jim and I grew up in Eldred, Pa.

Buck and Cindy were our neighbors in Portville, N.Y.

But knew Jim and Dottie.

We have all been friends for decades and decades!

We all now live in N.C.

Jim and Dottie in the North of the state, and Buck and Cindy-

Some 35 miles from us.

We still get together –

We still stay in touch after all those years.

In our senior years – closer to 80 than 70!

Our journey began in 2005!

We had moved to Fairfax, Va., and then to Brambleton, Va.

Sherry had been searching for a food supplement.

We had given up several unhealthy items in our diet.

She found a three-day vendor for health at the Convention Center in Washington, DC.

Known and sponsored by “NBC” for your health.

Hundreds of vendors –

Healthy supplements and food plans, including diets, etc.

Me – I took in the entertainment and the food courts! A NO-NO!

She found me later and said she found something –

That could change our lives!

JUICE PLUS – Fruits – Vegetables and Berries in capsules!

THIRTY OF THEM – two capsules of each every day!

And the research that backed up the claims of what it said it did!

PUBLISHED IN JOURNALS!

However, I was skeptical.

I am sort of PROVE IT BEFORE I BELIEVE IT!

Well – she did –

She ordered a three-month supply –

This is the recommended supply because it takes that long –

For every cell in your body to change.

Regenerate with all those nutrients working to make you healthier!

After two and a half months –

I saw improvements.

Her complexion – her hair was shiny, and her fingernails were growing faster.

She had what I would call a glow.

And she felt better.

That was when I decided to join her and ordered my own supply!

She was not getting sick as often,

And neither did I after three months!

And when I did, it was not as bad as before.

I was feeling better!

NBC for your health –

Lucky she found it,

And lucky to come across a vendor selling the product!

We also found out it had been in existence since the late 80s !

I wish I had known about it then.

I felt the change.

My hunger for more fruits and vegetables –

We change what we eat.

I no longer drink soda!

I no longer drink milk!

I have almost completely eliminated fast food.

I have cut way back on sweets,

And I actually control my weight better!

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

I drink mostly water –

A beer once in a while –

No wine or hard stuff!

And it actually is sold in over 25 countries!

We have changed since we first started –

I feel we are healthier today –

Then back when we started!

The journey to better health is never-ending as long as you are living.

It takes commitment –

As when you make New Year’s resolutions –

It is hard to do.

Temptations are there.

We have made a difference in our family and friends.

No regrets, and I have never missed a day!

Here are our grandchildren –

For every adult order –

You can sponsor one child –

Ages 4 to 19 –

And if going to college –

Papa’s World – Looking around – beach life!

April 12, 2026January 3, 2026 / Tom / Leave a comment

My dream has come true-

The other day, we decided to go to the two beaches-

It was a dead winter –

But a comfy 55 degrees with lots of sunshine.

First, we drove for fifteen minutes –

Crossed over the causeway bridge-

And parked near the pier and entrance to Sunset Beach.

We walked on the wooden walkway to the sand and down to the water.

It was low tide!

Sherry kicked off her sandals, and her bare feet touched the sand.

GROUNDED, SHE SAID!

Me – I keep my sneakers and socks on –

The sand is too cold-

But others were walking barefoot!

The sand, surf, and blue skies with the warm sun –

Made our day trip worth it!

Then it was back to the parking lot and the car!

We decided to go back across the bridge, turn right, and stop at THE SUNSET BEACH PARK!

Here are the restrooms which I needed –

Sherry said she would meet me behind the pavilion.

You can view the ICW form here and watch the boats coming up and down the waterway-

Even in the wintertime!

It was time to journey to our other beach –

A fifteen-minute drive to Ocean Isle Beach!

It is here from mid-May to mid-October-

We volunteer for the Protection of Sea Turtles!

This May will be the start of our fourth summer!

We parked at the pier and walked out to the sand and to the water.

It is different here –

Sunset Beach is flatter, and the sand seems more like powdered sand!

The sand here is coarser and has more shells.

Yet, you can see Sunset Beach!

There is more beach erosion here with drop-offs!

Making it sometimes difficult to get to the flat areas and the surf.

But – on the plus side-

We are much closer here and only ten minutes to the sand!

Sherry decided to walk up to the Community Center –

And I would drive the car there and pick her up!

This beach is our favorite to go and watch the sunrise.

Here – we are by the groin to see the sun come up!

I parked the car and walked up the ramp and met her.

We sat down under the covered deck and just took in the sight-

Sun – Sand and Surf.

Our peaceful place and my dream after all these years.

LOOKING AROUND – BEACH LIFE- SHERRY and PAPA!

The Kinzua Bridge( Via Duct) –

Just outside Mount Jewett, Pa.

Cindy – and Sherry.

Sherry was raised near here –

And this bridge is a historic landmark and now a State Park!

Built in the mid-1800s- Stretching across the KINZUA VALLEY –

The land of the Seneca Indian Nation-

It was built to transport coal from Pittsburgh to Erie!

It is almost one mile across and three hundred and ten feet high!

Trains traveled across, and this was considered one of the wonders of the world when built!

A couple of decades ago –

A TORNADO came through and took out half the bridge.

The remaining half has been preserved, and you can now walk out and view through thick glass all the way to the floor of the valley.

The rest of the bridge remains where it came down.

A center was built – like a museum-

And the whole area became a state Park!

Here, Cindy – who has been friends with Sherry since the 1980s-

Sits with Sherry –

Sherry’s father used to ride his snowmobile across the bridge.

A steam locomotive used to cross before it came down –

And while playing golf at the Kane Country Club golf course-

We would watch it come by a par three hole!

FRIENDS AND MEMORIES!

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

Before we sold the house in Brambleton, VA.

He would come to visit while his sisters were in school and his mother was at her consignment store!

Hours and hours he would spend playing games.

So quiet –

I would check on him every few minutes!

Here he was, maybe three years old.

Today he plays football, golf, basketball, and field hockey-

And more as he gets older.

He is now eleven years old and in fifth grade!

All boy – barefoot – short shirt sleeves and shorts-

Even when it is cold outside! LOL

FAMILY MEMORIES!

Our very longtime friends from Portville, NY.

Steve and Elaine-

We raised our families together-

Played volleyball together –

Golf together and spent many fun times with them before we moved to NVA in 1999!

Soon, they will move to Lynchburg, VA., to be near family!

I see in the future –

Trips for them to come and visit, and us going to see them!

Old friends and good times!

They came to visit before we moved in in 2020.

We did a week’s worth of tours of DC and the area.

We have traveled out to their home, and they took us on tours.

Sixteen years ago –

At one of our cross-country Juice Plus Health Conferences!

Twice a year –

We made our reservations –

Booked our flights –

Every six months –

The Conference switched from the East to the West Coast.

Three days of learning –

New research has been published.

Sherry’s TEAM GENERATIONS –

Which stretches up and down the East Coast-

Attended and recognized.

The PAST continues into the present –

Now twenty years and going strong!

Taylor and Cassidy –

They would both crawl up onto my lap-

And watch the screen –

Flashing through photos of events and family, and friends!

Today, they are freshman in HS.

I miss these past memories –

But they are making new ones in the present!

REMEMBERING THE PAST INTO THE PRESENT!

Papa – on the far left-

Sherry – standing in front of him!

In the mid-80s-

We played volleyball together.

Here is our team, known as “THE BEACH CLUB”!

Even back then, we dreamed of one day living near a beach!

1989 – we won!

The league had 16 teams.

And it was a tough league-

You had to be on guard, or you would get smashed in the face with a spike!

Many fond memories with these friends from back then!

PAST MEMORIES INTO THE PRESENT!

Point of Rocks across the border into Maryland.

A short ride from our home in Brambleton.

Exploring the area as we do in every place we live.

PAST MEMORIES INTO THE PRESENT!

For fourteen and one-half years –

We called this home in Brambleton, VA.

But – the Pandemic hit –

The 401K went South –

But the increase in home value was too much to ignore.

WE SOLD –

And built a home in Cameron Woods Community-

In Ocean Isle Beach, NC, on the mainland.

Number 10 – Maddy Myers –

Her senior year of H.S.

On the Loudoun soccer travel team.

To try out and make one of the premier club soccer teams in the NVA area!

For two years,

She did this week in and week out

In the soccer season!

She excelled and was recruited to the University of Lynchburg!

Here, she played for four years.

And in her Senior year – CAPTAIN!

In those four years,

They won the conference twice-

And went to the NCAA tournament twice!

Have raised the three daughters – Maddy and Ella have graduated from college –

And Sarah is in her Freshman year of college!

A fond LOOK BACK AT FAMILY!

Our dear friends – John and Nancy –

They attended the same church in Sterling, VA,

As we did.

We have maintained that friendship-

Visiting each other over the years we have lived in N.C.

A FOND LOOK BACK AT FRIENDS!

EACH MORNING WE WAKE UP BLESSED!

Now – Maddy – Debbby – Mike – Ella and Sarah.

A trip back to Lake Holiday just past Winchester, Va. –

A Christmas tradition of CHRISTMAS IN A BARN –

Bethel Lutheran Church-

Above – Debbby – Maddy – Ella Sherry and Sarah.

Grandmother, mother, and three granddaughters!

This is a special time of year –

And as Seniors –

We still can make the trip back North at Christmas time.

THIS IS LIFE for us!

This is how we now live our lives as Seniors.

Every day is a new page in the book of life for us.

We cherish our life together.

Now going on 44 years, and before that, for a year and a half.

We have become each other’s caregiver.

Taking turns driving –

Running errands together.

Still able to plan adventures with family and friends!

LIFE is what we make it to be!

LAUGH – it makes you feel good –

Even if the above does ring some truth! LOL

Home now in the South –

Near the borders of NC and SC!

Our senior years will be spent here-

Now going on five years!

It is warm most of the year here.

In our senior years –

It is hard for both of us to brave the harsh cold-

Snow and Ice and even just the chill of a moderate winter!

Being comfortable in our home-

But – knowing that everyone is welcome.

Our home is set up for guests.

Sand – Beach-

2025 – Our picture for the church directory!

We joined Saint Luke’s church – A Lutheran church –

Just ten minutes from our home on RTE 17!

Slowly, we are becoming more involved.

We volunteer on the second Saturday of the month –

For the South Brunswick – Food Pantry!

That is the Saturday assigned for our church-

In the area, churches to help out!

Also, Sherry signed up to help out with serving communion.

We take our health seriously!

A lot of food and drink –

We cut out of our lives twenty years ago!

Especially me!

I was a fast food junkie – (McDonald’s) –

And also ice cream and milk, and soda!

I do not eat many sweets –

But chocolate- (MILK) –

Is my downfall-

I am diabetic –

And must watch what I eat, (I TAKE MEDS)

I drink mostly water all day!

I do not drink wine-

Or hard stuff!

I will have a beer every once in a while!

In 2013, I had a major heart attack!

An open heart surgery with four bypasses!

So I am on medications –

But I follow a pretty strict guideline!

My choices for a supplement to help me-

JUICE PLUS!

I will take this every day for the rest of my life.

I credit this with my test results ever since my operation and bypasses-

Of keeping me in line with what my life is today!

Over FORTY PUBLISHED studies –

Prove it to do what is stated.

And yes-

I treat myself almost every day to a “SHAKE” made from –

JUICE PLUS COMPLETE!

DUTCH CHOCOLATE or FRENCH VANILLA!

Oftentimes in place of a meal!

Here we are in 2025 at 76 years old!

Our lives are to age as healthily as we can during our senior years –

Which we now are far into!

We still can live –

By ourselves –

Taking senior living one day at a time, healthy!

Papa’s World – OIB – BEACH LIFE!

April 3, 2026December 21, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

Growing up in NWPA and WNY-

Vacation time was almost always a week at the beach!

In the early years –

It was in New Jersey –

Simply – the closest and easiest to get to from WNY!

Then – it was the Outer Banks!

Always – I had that internal feeling-

Someday – I hope to have this as an everyday part of my life!

Today, we have that opportunity –

We have moved to Cameron Woods Community-

In normal traffic –

A ten to twelve-minute drive to the beach from the mainland.

Above – Sherry and I –

We volunteer for the Protection of Sea Turtles!

From mid-May to mid-October –

We are on the beach almost every day!

Our dream of living near the beach has come true!

Our happy place-

On the beach – chairs- and shade from the hot sun.

I have to be careful – sunscreen is a must for me.

I visit the dermatologist every four months.

My Irish heritage is susceptible to pre-cancerous skin cancer from the sun.

So – I enjoy the sun, sand, and surf –

But I am also aware of the hot sun!

We have walked to the Kindred Spirit Mailbox a half dozen times!

And we have walked with family and friends!

It is a quiet walk –

No houses – just sand, surf, and dunes!

The pier at OIB-

Oftentimes, we go here to sit in the shade and watch the surfers!

When there are strong storms out to sea –

The waves here are a surfer’s paradise.

In 2024, we celebrated our 75th birthdays –

On a family beach vacation on OIB!

In our move to NC-

We wanted it to be a day’s drive- 6 to 8 hours for the family to visit!

And they all have been here numerous times,

Even though busy life- jobs and school limits-

Their time here.

We, in turn, travel back-

So every few months we reconnect!

Today – our home –

This is more than likely –

The last time we moved!

We have either built – or bought –

SIX homes!

This is the sixth!

Our BEACH DREAM IS HERE!

In our case –

“DREAMS COME TRUE”!

March 31, 2026December 18, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

Friends: Bob, Pam, Sherry, Diane, and Papa.

Friends are important to us.

Over the years –

These friendships have grown and flourished.

We are blessed to have many people we consider friends.

From back in our DAL-TILE DAYS –

The Barndts – April and Brian.

Sherry and I worked with Brian –

They have visited the area several times in the past few years, and we have gotten together!

We left in 1999, and in 2012, the plane closed, and they moved to Gettysburg –

To one of our factories!

Today, they remain friends –

Again, we are blessed!

We have a group of friends from WNY and NWPA –

In the late 1980s –

We moved to Pleasant Acres Drive in Portville, NY.

Here we lived next door to Mike and Carol, and across the street were Cindy and Buck!

Jim and Dottie were just across the border in Eldred, Pa.and I grew up with them.

We all have since moved – six of us in NC.

And two still in WNY!

DECADES OF FRIENDSHIPS!

We are blessed!

We all lived back in NVA-

And today, two are in SC and four of us are in NC.

We still get together –

Blessings for our group!

Sherry and I have established new friends through our volunteering work in the protection –

Of Sea Turtles!

Here is a group of us on trash pick-up day on OIB!

New friends are new blessings!

Dottie and Cindy, and their daughters.

Decades of friendships!

Sherry and her daughters –

Forming relationships through their mothers.

All friends through the years!

BLESSINGS IN GENERATIONS!

A health blessing!

Good positive thoughts!

Sherry and I on the ICW –

Our life in the South-

Experience things we only dreamed about!

Our granddaughter, Maddy, on the day she graduated from college!

Today, she works for a large national environmental firm.

LOL – Happy to say I did –

Now in my senior years – MEMORIES!

When friends gather –

A reason we picked Cameron Woods Community!

Yes, it is – loosen up – smile and have a great day!

When grandkids were small, back at our home in Brambleton, VA.

Lots of memories and good times!

Papa’s World – Writing blogs – helps my memory!

March 11, 2026November 22, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

After turning into my senior years –

I sought a way to help me remember events and happenings in our lives.

Family – friends – neighbors and events –

These memories I wanted to capture and, in the process, exercise my brain!

So – with the encouragement and help from my wife Sherry-

I started my blog site on WordPress!

Now, I have thousands of pictures stored on my phone camera and on the blog site!

A PICTURE TO ME IS A MEMORY JOGGER!

Keeping a sense of humor –

And that which to me has some truth in it! LOL

If only this were true! LOL

Family is and always has been –

Important to both of us.

Now –

More so in our senior years.

A picture brings those special times –

Every time I see one-

It jogs my memory, and in these blogs –

I write it down!

This was at a historic site in the Shenandoah mountains on Route 7 –

On our way to Winchester, VA, and Lake Holiday, where Mike and Debby live.

Tammy was also with us that day.

It was a fun meeting up, and we went back to Tammy’s, and they went home.

If I remember right –

This estate changed hands during the Civil War-

Several times.

A lot of history here!

Sarah – Debby – MADDY – Mike and Ella-

Maddy was the first grandchild to graduate from college!

University of Lynchburg, where she played soccer for four years.

Her degree was in Environmental Science-

And today works for a major national environmental firm.

Her soccer college days included third team all-conference –

Second team all-conference and captain her senior year.

A conference championship –

And twice going to the NCAA tournament.

Today, Ella has graduated from college, where she played four years of soccer!

An injury at the end of her Sophomore season –

Plagued her for the last two years –

But she pressed on through becoming a captain in her junior year!

Today, she is a Phys-Ed Teacher –

For little children.

Sarah has since graduated from H.S., where she excelled in the arts-

She designed and drew the 75th. anniversary design for the school –

It was painted and placed in two spots in the school, and she also

Designed the cover for the graduation ceremonies.

Today, she is a Freshman in college.

This picture gave me thoughts-

Of all the memories!

Papa relaxing by the fire pit at Tammy and Marcus’ house outside Leesburg, Va.

If you know me –

You know I am not a big sit by the campfire person.

I did all that growing up!

Today – I can and will sit there –

But once the smoke starts coming my way –
I call it quits! LOL

Also – sitting outside in the cold –

Well, into my senior years –

I want warmth.

That is why we both decided to move South!

Since my heart attack and bypasses –

The cold –

Really has an effect on me.

And – I barely drink now –

Except on special occasions.

I am diabetic- and have to watch what I eat and drink!

However, I did enjoy this one time.

It brought back the memory of sitting around the fire pit with family!

A MEMORY CAPTURED WITH A PICTURE!

Living life to the plus –

Every day presents a new view and challenge.

A trip to the post office,

And the grocery store to pick up items.

Doctor appointments ( seem more as we age)!

Meet-ups and lunches(Sherry),

Not me so much.

Life has many events and meanings.

CALENDARS- play a prominent role in our lives.

It seems in retirement –

We are so busy, in these times –

We are doing the best we can!

One wonders –

How did we ever find time to work?

In these times,

We are doing the best we can!

All of the above!

We are living our lives to the plus every day.

Since my heart attack –

I live life one day at a time!

LIFE IS GOOD!

I AM BLESSED!

I AM THANKFUL!

A LITTLE LAUGH FOR THE DAY!

Give what you can!

Help when you are able!

Listen to all and not judge.

IN A WORLD WHERE YOU CAN BE ANYTHING- BE KIND!

Yes, I do!

AGING AS HEALTHY AS I CAN EVERY DAY AND MY SENIOR YEARS!

Papa- Sherry – Dottie – Cindy – Buck and Jimmy!

We all grew up in the WNY-NWPA area, just miles apart.

Part of LIVING LIFE TO THE PLUS –

Is have lifelong friends.

Getting together –

Sharing laughs and events.

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!

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!

MEMORY IN A PICTURE!

YES, I CAN AND HAVE MANY TIMES! LOL

Family in Lynchburg, Va.

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

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

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

This is a MEMORY IN A PICTURE!

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!

A LASTING MEMORY!

So true – when listening – LASTING MEMORIES RETURN!

A memory in the making for the last twenty years.

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 here in our community-

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

The weather is why we have concerts –

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

LIVING IN THE SOUTH!

This will be our last move –

Having moved seven times –

Built three homes –

Lived in a condo for a short while.

Coming from WNY and growing up in NWPA!

LIFE IN THE SOUTH suits us!

My two sons and their families.

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

They have visited numerous times between the two of them.

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

Always in my heart and mind.

Many memories from the past –

And many new memories to be made.

The present is the life we lead.

Five granddaughters and one grandson.

We have made memories –

We are still making memories-

This is our life to live-

One day at a time!

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

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

Here we are at Lake Tahoe.

We have traveled the world on vacations with them.

Today they live but 38 miles from us.

We are still creating memories in the life we live.

The day we were married –

June 25th, 1982.

The beginning of the life we live.

Papa’s World – Enjoying our area!

February 11, 2026October 18, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

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!

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

We love the choices we made five years ago!

They are so grown-up.

Sarah is now in college.

Papa’s World – Life in Cameron Woods.

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-

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!

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.

Papa’s World – Looking back – pictures!

January 17, 2026September 17, 2025 / Tom / Leave a comment

This is the day I came home from the hospital-

After having open heart surgery-

FOUR BY-PASSES!

I never went to the step-down unit-

Instead, five hours after the surgery was done –

I was standing up.

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

The surgery was at 10 am. Monday-

This picture was taken at 1pm. on Wednesday.

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

But I said no!

The next day, I started walking inside-

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

I had a HEART PILLOW I clutched to my chest.

After a couple of weeks, I walked outside.

My journey to better health began ten years prior.

I am convinced that had I not started my routine-

I would not have survived the heart attack!

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

I cut way back on beer.

We had started walking.

And yes, I took meds.

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

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

They are absorbed into the bloodstream after they dissolve.

Every four to six months –

I get tested –

This surgery was at the end of 2013!

Today – still on meds-

My stats are:

Cholesterol- 99

Triglycerides- 57

HDL- 32 ( working on this)

LDL- 54

VLDL Cholesterol calc- 13

AIC- 6.7 ( working on this)

My journey will be for the rest of my life.

Here I am over 12 years later-

I am 76 years old here.

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

Taking this supplement.

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

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

To go over twelve years

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

After my surgery-

Proves to me I am on the right path.

I may be an exception –

BUT I BELIEVE!

Last year, we both turned 75 years old.

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!

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!

Sarah – a look back!

On our wedding day –
