Papa’s World – Our life in North Carolina!

American Olean Tile Company – Dal-Tile Company – shown here in Olean, New York –

Where Sherry and I worked before transferring to Northern VA.

The lower right side of the plant is the original – when it closed in 2012 –

Existed as an employment for generations of families –

Ninety-nine and one-half years!

This is Cattaragus County in Western New York.

This valley is where the Seneca Indian Nation existed –

The Reservation is about ten or fifteen miles away, with a Casino!

The Alleghany River flows North from Pa. into NYS directly on the upper part of the picture –

And then after continuing through the reservation, turns South again –

Back into Pa. and South to Pittsburgh!

We worked here before we both transferred to Northern VA in 1999!

I had 32 years here, and Sherry had about 20 years!

We were both divorced and met here.

Married on 6-25-1982.

The Alleghany Mountains are in the background.

Many fond memories and friendships for both of us are here!

Today we live here!

After retiring from Dal-Tile – American Olean Tile in NVA –

We decided to follow our dreams and move to N.C.

It is here in Cameron Woods Community that we built this new home.

From the street, looking at the right side of the house and lawn.

Since we moved in on 7-02-2021 –

We have had all the landscaping done – front, sides, and back.

Neither one of us liked the pine straw that came with the house.

We tried black mulch for one year –

And then with stones around the entire house.

In N.C., there are snakes, and they love pine straw and mulch!

I have only seen Blake Snakes, but the neighborhood has seen Copperheads,

And Timber rattlesnakes,

So, we are very careful in looking around.

Our front porch with a glider.

The one thing I wanted in this build –

Was a front porch that had shade most of the day.

And a glider to sit on!

Sherry wanted a separate room for an office –

And we both got what we wanted.

We also wanted to be near a golf course –

And we live right in the middle of over 30 courses!

Here we are with our friends Pam and Bob-

I went to school with Bob.

They leased a house about nine miles from us.

And in the future will decide where they will end up!

Our longtime neighbors from NYS –

Cindy and Buck –

Who first moved to N.C. in the mid-90s.

They live about 38 miles from us, and we often get together to golf.

We have traveled the World with them on vacations!

Moving to the Ocean Isle Beach area has afforded us BEACH TIME only minutes away.

Sharing that with family!

Papa’s World -Family – pleasant memories!

SENIOR – looking after our bodies to remain as healthy as we can!

It is a lifetime journey –

Little pains – illness and accidents.

But – we constantly maintain –

Doctor visits are routine –

Dentist all to prevent major disruptions in our life together.

It becomes a must in senior years –

But also a blessing as each day draws to an end and a new one begins.

Sherry and Cindy –

Our close friends live 38 miles away.

Our friendship goes back to the late 80s in Pleasant Acres Drive in Portville, N.Y. –

Where we were neighbors!

In those ensuing years –

They moved to the Wilmington, N.C. area –

But we stayed in contact and started taking trips together all over the world!

Buck and Cindy and Papa and Sherry.

Many laughs and smiles.

Today, we try to get together once a month.

Sometimes that works out –

Golf and dinner out!

FRIENDS FOR OUR LIFETIMES!

Marley and Taylor –

Taylor is one of the twins of Marcus and Tammy – the youngest daughter!

She has trained Marley and is quite good with animals.

She has ridden horses since she was about six years old.

Today, she is 16 and a Sophomore in high school.

FAMILY – PLEASANT MEMORIES!

Our new home under construction in 2021!

Cameron Woods Community – Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

Family comes to visit – Friends come often!

PAPA’S WORLD – PLEASANT MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – Worry? Be HAPPY!

Life is full of HAPPY FEELINGS!

Here – Sherry and I don hats for a skit at the church we attended before moving to Cameron Woods Community!

It was Christmas time, and the younger grandchildren were in the “SKIT”!

I was a DONKEY and Sherry an ANGEL!

Many times in our marriage, we participated in activities for the grandkids.

All part of our marriage and life together for over 44 years!

WORRY? BE HAPPY!

LOL – I do so love vegetables!

Talor and Cassidy – Twins but not fraternal.

I miss these days –

Now they are Sophomores in High School.

Both have their permits for driving.

Where did all that time go?

But – as time goes by – new times are here.

Pictures and words from memories!

WORRY? BE HAPPY!

All new experiences are happening –

The older grandchildren –

Two have graduated from college, and the younger is a college sophomore.

Cassidy and Taylor both have jobs.

Cassidy is a high school cheerleader for football and also participates in team cheerleading competitions.

She has since given up the violin, which she was very good at.

Taylor still rides horses – plays violin, piano, and guitar.

She works in a horse barn.

Plays soccer, basketball, and flag football.

Maddy – the oldest grandchild –

Works as an Environmental Scientist –

For a large national firm.

Ella is teaching PhysEd in elementary school!

Sarah is working part-time and is in college.

Bode – the only grandson –

Plays Lacrosse, football, and golf!

They are growing up, and we get to see it all!

WORRY? BE HAPPY!

Sarah – now in college and a Sophomore.

A beautiful young lady!

Bode – now in his first year of middle school!

Sarah, Ella, and Maddy!

The three oldest granddaughters.

Mother and daughters –

Debby, Sherry, and Tammy!

WORRY? BE HAPPY!!!

Papa’s World – Funny things – thoughts!

LOL – yeah – that’s right!

Beach life – sand and surf –

We dreamed about this, but thought we never could be here!

But – life happens, and we found ourselves in a situation because of the Pandemic.

We lost so much money in the downturn of the 401K in our retirement fund.

BUT – all of a sudden, the housing market exploded!

SELL!!!

That is what we did.

Brambleton in Loudoun County, Va., is very expensive to live in.

TAXES – Housing- cost of living –

All contributed to our thinking of cashing in and moving South!

It was hard – we would be leaving grandkids, family, and friends.

Florida was too hot – we wanted out of the cold, snow, and ice.

We were advancing in our senior years, and I did not want to take care of the lawn outside anymore.

The border of N.C. and S.C. looked interesting.

We had friends in the Wilmington, N.C., area.

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH! We found a condo to lease – month to month!

TIME – it would take time to look and find a house.

Everything we looked at needed work to update.

We increased the budget – and found that building new was the best choice.

We found Cameron Woods Community, thirty minutes from North Myrtle Beach in N.C.

We were still within a 7-to 8-hour drive to family back in Va.

We pulled the trigger and for nine months lived in the condo.

We selected everything we could for the new build.

And still came out cheaper than buying used.

Our new build at Christmas time, a year after we moved in!

And if we wanted to drive early to the beach – SUNRISE on OIB!

We never dreamed we could do this!

Life has a way of making dreams come true!

Losing part of our retirement but gaining equity in the housing market proved beneficial for us.

Today, we live in the South!

We are aging SENIORS!

But – we are where we want to be.

When Sherry was finished with her rehab after falling off her bike and fracturing her pelvis-

The staff asked her what song she wanted played as she said goodbye to everyone.

“DON’T WORRY – BE HAPPY”! she replied.

And sure enough – when they pushed her through the hallways-

Over the loudspeakers –

“DON’T WORRY” played.

Everyone got into the mood and swayed down the hall, and folks came out of their offices and said goodbye!

That is customer service!

Sherry in her room before being discharged!

Both of us grew up in this era and are “HIPPIES” at heart.

Love – peace – gratitude – being thankful – helping others.

Sherry and her grandchildren and Tammy – youngest daughter.

Papa’s World – Life as a senior.

Well, we have been retired for years.

We both have celebrated our 77th birthdays!

LIFE AS A SENIOR takes on a whole new meaning.

Little trips are now adventures for us.

We still golf and still walk.

Appointments are common occurrences, as are CALENDERS –

Both of us keep one to mark down dates of where, what, and when we have something coming up.

We look around and see how we live.

Family – church (nearby) –

Community – (A lot of caring friends)-

Warmer climate – (Hardly any snow or ice)-

Downsized our house – (all on one level)-

Close to shopping, beach, and entertainment!

Life in our SENIOR YEARS –

Means chill and take care of one another.

And to age as healthily as we can.

Here is what we have taken for twenty years,

Information: www.https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

For us, it is the simplest things in life-

Having the ability to walk in the sand and surf at the beach.

Warm climate – friends and family to share this with!

LIFE AS A SENIOR!

Watching the grandkids grow into adults!

Having them come for visits –

MORMOR – PAPA – GRANDMA and GRANDPA –

These are words of endearment to our ears.

Relaxing to the sound of the surf-

Birds and laughter –

Blue skies and soft white clouds!

Does this picture make you want to be there?

Well, it does me.

This is Sunset Beach, and at the far right upper side-

A very tall building sits there.

That is Ocean Isle Beach.

We live on the mainland and are about fifteen minutes to Sunset Beach –

And ten minutes to Ocean Isle Beach.

We had always dreamed of living in the South on the eastern shore of the Atlantic.

Today, that dream has come true.

Being seniors and long retired –

The FUN stage of our life is walking on the beach in the surf.

Or – going to Ferry Landing on OIB and watching the boats travel up and down the ICW!

Nothing exciting as in our younger years –

But a PLEASANT way of life for us.

All of the above!!!!

Inspiring lookout!

And then there is golf.

We play a couple of times a month –

Now mostly nine holes.

Just being out there is a FUN time for us!

On the tee box next to the ICW!

Golfing with friends Pam and Bob!

All part of our life in the Carolinas!

FRIENDS – DOTTIE – CINDY and SHERRY!

Papa and Sherry on our second trip to the Biltmore Estate.

We want to go back at Christmas time to see the decorations.

I am always amazed at the wealth these people had to build such an estate!

REMEMBER WHEN?

Pam and Bob –

Papa and Sherry-

Bob and I went to school together growing up in NWPA –

In a small town called Eldred.

We get together to play golf.

Their one-year lease is up soon, and they will be trying to decide where they want to retire.

But this past year has been fantastic because we have spent time together.

Often we converse – “REMEMBER WHEN”?

June 25th, 1982 –

The day we were married.

So long ago –

But has gone by so fast!

REMEMBER WHEN?

Our journey together –

Always looking and exploring!

Steelers fans and Bills fans.

A few years ago –

Both teams played one another.

So neighbors being neighbors –

Got together and watched the game.

THE BILLS MAFIA WON!!!!!

REMEMBER WHEN?

I have many of these types of balls out there!!!! LOL

Daughters and mother – BEACH TIME!

Debby and Tammy and Sherry!

THOUGHTS – HUMOR – GOOD TIMES – married – 6-25-1982!

Papa’s World – Good times in pictures and humor!

Sherry and I lived in Brambleton, VA, and in Fairfax, VA.

For almost 21 years!

During that time, we became Washington Nationals baseball fans!

Many times, we either drove into D.C. or took the Metro to see games at the stadium.

Even at first, RFK Stadium, when they first moved from Montreal!

They won it all in 2019 –

It was a special time in our lives in the D.C. area!

GOOD TIMES IN PICTURES AND HUMOR!

Our home at night with Christmas lights in Brambleton, VA, at the time we were and are now Nationals fans.

This was a two-story townhome –

3100 SF.

We built it as our “RETIREMENT” home and spent 14 1/2 years there!

But “STUFF” happens –

Namely, in 2020, the “PANDEMIC” hit!

Our 401K took a major hit-

But this home zoomed up in price, and we decided to “CASH” out!

We sold and moved South to OIB – Cameron Woods Community, where we built hopefully our last house!

Today we live here after downsizing to 1900 SF.

All on one level –

Four seasons, but warm most of the time.

The Ocean and beaches are but a few minutes away.

Entertainment and shopping are all minutes away.

Along the way, friends have also moved into the area or 40 minutes away.

Plus, old friends are nearby!

We golf and volunteer –

We have our new church, and this is where we are retired to.

Sometimes major developments cause changes in your life!

This is our case, and the door opened, and we went forth.

Our life today is standing on our front porch!

Life today – memories of yesteryear!

This has never changed for us-

When we were married all those years ago (6-25-1982) –

This was part of our vows together.

GOOD TIMES IN PICTURES AND HUMOR!

Today, our life together, but memories from the past bring us into the present!

Papa’s World – Our life – come along!

On our wedding day – 6-25-1982.

Our journey began by combining two families into one with four children.

Sherry has two daughters, and I have two sons.

The daughters lived with us, and my sons lived with their mother.

Those early years were spent traveling to sports events, activities, and taking children back and forth from ex-spouses.

Schools and churches –

We had no money and made do with what we could.

We lived way out in the country in the Portville, N.Y. school district.

It was a fun time – the driveway was 1/10th of a mile long!

In the winter after it was plowed –

A place to sled ride down the gentle grade.

I would hand-mow, and it took three days!

I would rest on day four and then start over again.

The next year, we purchased a ride mower from SEARS!

I could do the whole thing in four or five hours.

Looking back on fond memories of those early years.

I write these blogs because I want to exercise my brain and the memories I have in writing and pictures.

This is my journal on life.

It will be kept on WordPress on my blog site: PAPA’S WORLD – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog –

For the next generations to come and read, view, and remember the words, pictures, and memories!

Maddy – our oldest granddaughter –

On the day she graduated from the University of Lynchburg –

With a degree in Environmental Science.

Today, she works for a nationwide firm in her field!

OUR LIFE – COME ALONG!

A family celebration on the beach when Sherry and I turned 75 years old in 2024!

Here are the Myers and Krohn family.

Debby and Tammy –

Sherry’s two daughters, husbands and the six grandkids.

Five granddaughters and one grandson.

Family time spent together.

The families still live back in Va., where we moved from.

When we moved, we decided to settle a day’s drive from either family.

Today we visit back and forth!

My two sons still live back in NWPA, where they were raised-

But both have made trips down, and we have made trips back to see them.

FAMILY!

My oldest son, Troy, and his life partner, Andrea!

My two sons, Troy and Shawn.

Both still live back in NWPA!

Very proud of these two men.

FAMILY!

RETIRED now for years and years.

Our senior years are now in the N.C and S.C area.

We are close to the borders of both states.

Cameron Woods Community in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

Sherry and I planned a trip to the Expo at Disney.

We later found out that our granddaughter, Ella, would also be there!

We coordinated our day at the park with her and met up!

An unplanned trip turned into a meet-up with a granddaughter!

A PICTURE TURNS INTO A STORY AND MEMORY!

Tammy came for a visit and had Cassidy and Taylor with her.

They are the two youngest granddaughters and also twins.

To me, here the eyes tell the story.

Generations of Swedish descent!

A PICTURE TURNS INTO A STORY AND A MEMORY!

When they were all younger –

Before Bode –

We had taken a similar picture of the five granddaughters!

Today, he is the only grandson.

And of course, as curious now as he was then!

A PICTURE TURNS INTO A STORY AND A MEMORY!

Here is Papa and Sherry with Pam and Bob.

Bob and I grew up together in a little town called Eldred in Pa.

As we do in this for over twenty years.

FAMILY HISTORY AND MEMORIES!

Sherry started her own internet business twenty years ago.

JUICE PLUS – A blend of 30 fruits, vegetables, and berries in a powder put into capsules.

When taken with liquid –

They dissolve and go immediately into the bloodstream.

Research proves the healthy effects of these capsules on your body.

There are two conventions a year –

One on the East Coast and one on the West Coast.

We have attended many and learned what over 40 published studies and research have proved for this supplement.

.For over twenty years –

This is what I take every day!

In the late 80s to the mid 90s –

We were neighbors of Cindy and Buck in Pleasant Acres, Portville, N.Y.

They sold and moved to the Wilmington, N.C. area!

Today, we live about 38 miles from them in Cameron Woods Community, Ocean Isle Beach.

We have maintained best friends all these years and traveled the World with them and the country on trips!

Buck and Papa somewhere on the ICW!

My purpose for these blogs is to have a place for future generations to see and read about family and friends and our lives!

Our lives together began on 6-25-1982 when we were married-

But had dated a year and a half before that!

We combined two sets of children that day.

Her daughters and my sons.

Her daughters lived with us-

And my sons with their mother.

Those early years – we had no money, but we had family times!

My oldest son and his life partner – Andrea!

My youngest son and wife – Trisha!

Both daughters still live back in NVA –

And both sons still live back in the area they were raised in, NWPA!

FAMILY has always been important to us.

To this day, we still try to get together every 4 to six months or sooner, as we are only 38 miles from Cindy!

Good day, everyone!

MEMORIES are thoughts of the past-

Pictures bring them to the present!

Here is the couch in Sherry’s mothers livingroom in Mount Jewett, Pa.

Little Bode and his sister Cassidy.

Cassidy is the twin sister of Taylor –

But these two should have been the twins!

Big sister is sharing her electronic book with little brother!

Meanwhile –

Taylor is in the same room –

Playing in her own way.

She is her own person.

Today – Taylor and Cassidy are Sophomores in High School –

While Bode is in his first year of Middle School!

Here are their parents, Marcus and Tammy.

Memories from the past –

Being brought back in pictures for memories of the present!

That smile says it all!

Graduating from grade school to Middle School!

Bode – into all sports –

Growing – smiling and loved by his teachers, so they tell the parents!

Future memories to come!

The journey of past memories captured in pictures for memories of the present!

A picture of two camels in Morocco!

What for?

Because I rode one of them, and Cindy North McBride rode the other! LOL

Cindy and Buck in the forefront!

We were neighbors back in Pleasant Acres Drive in the late 80s and mid 90s –

When Cindy and Buck moved to the Wilmington, N.C. area.

We maintained that friendship and have traveled the world with them on vacations.

Today, we are once again near each other, separated by 38 miles.

Here we are with our other friends who are also from our past!

Pictures are for the present time in memories!

Great thoughts on golf.

WRITING BLOGS – THOUGHTS AND HUMOR!

Papa’s World – Positive writing blogs!

Being positive – helping – staying out of the political fray!

Being seniors,

Life now is even shorter.

Why waste time arguing with someone who will not change their minds?

My beliefs are mine,

And I will vote for those beliefs.

And then go on with our life together.

Time is not on our side!

I look around each day –

The sunrise or the sunset.

The storm clouds-

And then listening to the thunder and patter of rain.

Makes me sleepy!

Gratitude, we are where we are.

Blessed that we are still together and caring for one another.

The direction of our day –
Small trips –

Store – post office, or appointments.

The little things in life make me happy!

It has changed over the years –

Now, instead of black mulch,

Stones with a border.

But this glider and porch are my happy place.

A place to sit in the shade and watch the neighbors go by!

A wave of a hand –

And then wait for the next one.

Much as I did in my youth, sitting on our front porch-

On Main Street in Eldred, Pa.

That is where I got the happy memories that I have today, sitting here!

Sunset Beach and in the distance –

The high rise of Ocean Isle Beach!

These two beaches are our dreams!

We always wanted to be near the ocean,

And this is where we ended up!

But – in my life –

I have no regrets.

It has been a good life –

Family, work, and now retirement.

We grew up together in little Eldred, Pa.

Elementary – then 7 through 12th. grade –

And graduation.

We both went our separate ways –

Papa’s World – A little humor and a lot of life!

LOL- Life happens – more beer please!

Sitting outback on the patio – we had a visitor!

As soon as I stood up-

It turned and was fast in retreating to the wood line.

We do have Copperheads and Timber Rattlesnakes –

However, I have never seen one in the backyard.

But I have seen Blacksnakes, and they are good.

They kill Copperheads, and I assume Timber Rattlesnakes!

I think this was some sort of water snake.

All part of where we live in Cameron Woods Community-

Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

Our grandson Bode –

Who graduated from Elementary School to Middle School!

Instead of shaking hands with the teachers –

He hugged each one!

A LOT OF LIFE!

Andrea and my son are life partners.

Troy is my oldest son and still lives near where he was raised in Eldred, Pa.

He can build a house from the ground up!

He got that ability not from me –

But his grandfather – my dad!

He could do the same thing, and he did while also being a supervisor for the South Penn Oil Company!

TROY and ANDREA – A LOOK AROUND!

Sherry in Brambleton’s town square in front of the theater.

” A LOOK AROUND”!

Papa’s World – Carolina life after NVA!

May 2020 – during the pandemic – before we sold our home and moved to the Carolinas!

Here we are in the new Wegmans parking lot –

This store we watched being built, which was very close to where we lived in Fairfax, VA.

I would walk to a bench across the street and sit and watch the construction!

NVA was a very busy life.

The beltway around D.C.

We ended up moving a little bit further out behind the DULLES AIRPORT!

Our new neighborhood in Brambleton, Va. with 15 miles of walking trails.

Here we are walking around a small man-made lake.

We were just behind the DULLES AIRPORT, and planes were always flying in and out!

For 14 1/2 years, we watched this complete town being built-

From one elementary and one High School –

To multiple elementary and middle schools to FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS!

A quiet countryside farm area has become a completely new small city.

We watched it being built.

Walking our neighborhood in Brambleton, VA.

These three – where did we put the wine bottle!

SHERRY – CINDY and DOTTIE-

Friends for decades and decades!

In July, 2021, we moved into Cameron Woods Community, Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina!

Here is my view watching the houses being completed as construction moved down the street from our new home!

Our newly constructed home –

This would be our last move unless it is to assisted living.

We are in the Carolinas after living in Pa., NYS, and Va.

CAROLINA BLUE – endless skies, just a few miles to the ocean and beaches.

This is the life we always wanted.

It took a PANDEMIC to get us here.

We lost money in our 401K but gained in the housing market and sold.

CAROLINA BEACH LIFE!

FROM THE WEGMANS PARKING LOT TO THE OCEAN ISLE BEACH!

CAROLINA LIFE AFTER NVA!

Papa’s World -My family while growing up!

My parents’ grave –

Up Barden Brook just outside of the Boro of Eldred, Pa.

My brother-in-law Bill –

And my sister Donna’s grave.

Just a few feet from my parents’ grave.

My brother Roger shortly before he passed away.

My younger brother Mike’s grave is just a few feet from the rest of my family!

All are now gone.

My niece Terri, my brother Mike, and I are in the middle.

Terri is no longer with us.

Not here is my nephew Rick, who passed away, and Kelli, who still lives in Donna and Bill’s house.

So, almost everyone I grew up with has passed away.

Jamie and Brandi – my niece Terri’s daughters – my great nieces!!!

Jamie lives in Portville, and Brandi lives in the home I was raised in.

This home has been in the family for, I guess, 82 years!

My oldest son, Troy, and his partner, Andrea, still live back where they were raised in Pa.

Next is Sherry.

Then Trisha, my youngest son Shawn, and Trisha’s daughter Autumn.

They all still live back in Pa.

The day Sherry and I were married – 6-25-1982.

While my family is mostly still in the area I grew up in-

Sherry is all alone here in the Carolinas with the exception of her one sister, Debbie.

Most of the family she grew up with remains in Pa.

Her daughters are back in NVA, where we transferred to.

As are the six grandkids.

Sherry – Bonnie and Debbie.

Her mother, Barb, and her father, Bill.

Today, we are scattered, or most have passed away.

But our roots still remain in Pa.

This blog is a journal for the generations to come.

To know us, our families, and who we were.

Papa’s World – In life, we live it one day at a time!

Good morning or whatever part of the day you read this.

As a senior well into our senior years-

We live each day to the plus.

Doesn’t matter what it is!

Simple trips to the store or doctor’s office.

Stopping at a big box store to find a little thing we might need.

Preparing for family or friends to visit.

Volunteering which we do.

All of a sudden –

Something happens to change that routine.

A unexpected fall from her bike!

As she was coming to a stop to get off –

Sherry lost her balance –

Over she went onto her left side!

She fractured her pelvis in two spots on that left side.

No – She will not give up!

She spent two days in the hospital –

Then seven days in rehab.

DETERMINED!!!!!

She has got this!

She went home and had excellent grades on her progress.

Now it is up to her with my help to progress!

Our daughter Debby came down!

Moral support and to help me.

Tammy could not come with three young children in school and her business to run.

But constant phone calls and facetimes were there daily!

Marcus and Tammy and Marley and the three kiddo’s!

The kids sent a card and flowers made out of pipe cleaners!

“WE LOVE YOU MORMOR”!

Which in Swedish Is MOTHERSMOTHER!

Our time together has always been these past 44 years plus-

TOGETHER as ONE!

This blog site represents that!

Its the simple things in life –

Now in our Senior years –

That trip to the doctor for follow up!

That walker and the road to Ferry Landing in OIB!

The ramp up to the deck at the Community Center on OIB –

To sit and just watch the beach, the ocean, and busy people!

This is our life in our Senior Years!

Life starts each day with the Simple Things!

She is healed and now we continue in living life one day at a time.

PEACE BE WITH YOU!

Papa’s World – Today – Yesterday’s memories!

Sherry is watching my brother, Roger –

Tee off at one of the courses in The Villages.

Shortly after we retired –

My brother, who was alone-

Wanted us to visit him and keep him company during the Winter months.

We did that for half a dozen years before he passed away.

Growing up, he was my hero.

Those years gave us both fond memories of him.

He wanted us to sell and move down with him full-time.

I still cherish these memories –

Great times – golfing and “HAPPY HOUR” with him.

The last winter we spent together!

I shall always cherish these times –

TODAY- YESTERDAY’S MEMORIES!

Trisha is married to my youngest son, Shawn-

Here with his older brother Troy!

They still live back in Pa. in the area they grew up!

All have visited at one time or another.

Looking forward to more visits!

TODAY – YESTERDAY’S MEMORIES!

Sherry – (MORMOR) – Swedish for MothersMother –

Youngest daughter Tammy and the three grandchildren-

Taylor – Bode and in front – Cassidy.

They have all visited numerous times since we moved to N.C.

Here we walk around the waterfront of Barefoot Landing in NMB!

TODAY – YESTERDAY’S MEMORIES!

A long time ago in Eldred, Pa.-

Where I grew up on North Main Street-

Pictured here is my niece – Terri-

Me in the middle, and my brother Mike.

Both are gone –

But live in TODAY-YESTERDAY’S MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – The next step!

It was toward the end of May –

Sherry told me she was going to ride her bike up to the clubhouse!

About five minutes went by, and my phone rang.

A male voice asked if I was Tom – I said yes- “Your wife has had an accident with her bike – can you come to the clubhouse”?

I jumped into the car and up the street.

There she was – in the parking lot – lying on her back beside her bike!

A man, a child, and a woman stood there and said she had fallen sideways and onto her left side.

As I kneeled down, I asked her if she had hit her head, and she said no.

We were able to get her up and seated sideways in the back seat.

The man said he would wheel the bike to our address and put it on the front porch.

We headed to the Emergency room at McLeod Hospital.

After X-rays and a CT scan –

She fractured her pelvis on the left side in two places-

But no surgery would be required.

Two days in the hospital, and she was transferred across the street to the Tides rehab center.

Here she has had to undergo extensive rehab and learn to walk again.

They have been wonderful.

As of this writing, she has been there for almost seven days.

We have faith and HOPE!

This is a setback as she is 77 years old.

But – thank goodness it could have been much worse.

We have been together for over 44 years, married for almost two years before that.

This has been the longest time we have been apart.

So – we progress to “THE NEXT STEP”!

Whatever is ahead –

We will face it together.

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

Sherry is at the Brambleton Town Center in front of the theater.

We lived here in this neighborhood for 14 1/2 years until the Pandemic came along!

We had our retirement home built and watched as this neighborhood went from one High School-

To FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS when we sold in 2020 and moved South!

They built an entire town with shopping, restaurants, etc.

Once here, you did not need to go back out to the extremely busy NVA traffic.

It was really a Utopia of a sort.

But – being in NVA and within 30 miles of D.C. –

Very expensive to live.

The Pandemic caused the 401K to collapse –

But the housing market is about to explode!

So – we CASHED in and SOLD!

The three “LITTLE ONES” grandchildren –

Bode, Cassidy, and Taylor –

Had moved away – not far – but enough that we no longer picked them up from school or walked to their home.

It made no sense that we remained in an ever more expensive area to retire in –

And the Pandemic resolved that issue.

We lived with them after we sold and went back and forth to the other daughter’s family in Lake Holiday, VA.

We were able to help out with the three little ones to homeschool until they got situated.

This was when the schools closed for the pandemic, and they did everything online.

WE WERE TRULY LIVING LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Bode started preschool at this time.

He is an active boy –

Into all sports –

And constantly on the move –

So it was hard for him by himself to do online schooling –

But he prevailed, and today he is a good student and in his first year of middle school.

The twins are no Sophomores in H.S.

Today – Cassidy, Bode, and Taylor with their parents, Marcus and Tammy.

And of course –

“MARLEY – THE GRAND DOG”!

A Golden Doodle!

And then the three oldest granddaughters!

Sarah, Ella, and Maddy.

Sarah is a Sophomore in College-

Ella and Maddy have graduated from college.

Ella is an Elementary School Teacher, and Maddy is an Environmental Scientist.

Parents – Debby and Mike.

Sarah, Ella, Maddy, and her engagement to Kendrick.

Our Lake Holiday family.

Our grandkids and “MORMOR.”
SWEDISH of “MOTHERSMOTHER”!

Papa’s World – Forgotten memories – always together.

We have always spent a great deal of time together.

Exploring wherever we are!

The places no one finds unless they happen upon them!

Life together – helping one another.

Creating memories that become forgotten and resurface for my blogs!

FORGOTTEN MEMORIES – ALWAYS TOGETHER!

Life not in the fast lane –

But slowly looking and watching as we go by!

It does not have to be exciting –

We can make do with whatever comes our way.

Here we are in Northern California at a vineyard.

Making lifetime memories of places we have been and places to come!

FORGOTTEN MEMORIES – ALWAYS TOGETHER!

Before they moved their training camp to South Florida-

We visited the spring training camp for the Washington Nationals.

We both love sports –

And try to see games in all sports-

But most assuredly – on TV!

FORGOTTEN MEMORIES- ALWAYS TOGETHER!

COVID – 2020 –

We were isolated at our home.

Tammy and the three grandkids would visit –

I would put a tarp down, and they would sit on it at the end of our driveway.

We would sit on chairs in our garage and talk back and forth.

It was a hard time in our lives –

But we faced it together –

Making memories such as these!

FORGOTEN MEMORIES – ALWAYS TOGETHER!

When the three little ones would come to stay overnight!

Before Covid –

We would always pick them up from school.

Bode would come and stay with us as he was not in school.

Overnights were counted by them in “SLEEPS” left before they came!

FORGOTTEN MEMORIES – ALWAYS TOGETHER!

Today they have grown up.

But FORGOTTEN MEMORIES – ALWAYS TOGETHER in our hearts!

Papa’s World – Looking at TIMES PAST!

Sherry and I are at the parade in Raleigh with family!

This was in 2019, and I believe it was around Christmas time or Thanksgiving!

We have not been back since –

But it was a super good time and a large parade.

LOOKING AT TIMES PAST!

Sherry in Washington, D.C-

To see the Christmas tree and decorations around the White House.

Cold but fun with the grandkids!

Two are just behind her, and also Tammy!

LOOKING AT TIMES PAST!

A decoration we had in our home in Brambleton, VA.

Santa and a rocking chair used by all the grandkids when they were young!

LOOKING AT TIMES PAST!

Christmas decorations at our home in Brambleton, VA.

Every year, we decorated the two-story home.

They were like miniature horses!

I am not exactly sure where this is, but I think some place in N.C.

Papa’s World – As time goes by- Memories!

When all the grandkids were younger –

We all went to the county fair.

We are as Sherry’s shirt says- “BLESSED”!

And a time to come-

Ella’s Shirt – SKIP A STRAW – SAVE A TURTLE!

Gone by times are memories!

Walking the streets of Washington, D.C. with our friends from AZ.

Sherry, Jo, and Paul.

Who came for a visit several years ago.

We toured all of D.C. for three days and took the Metro.

A first for them and one of many for us!

Gone by times are memories.

We had the honor of hosting Ronny Cox – movie star and TV actor –

His first role was in Deliverance, and he became a star.

He came to ur church through a program, and we gave him a place to stay overnight.

We sat around our breakfast table for a few hours, and he regaled us with his life in Hollywood and other stars.

He was also accompanied by Radoslav Lorkovic –

An accomplished musician in his own right on the accordion and piano –

World-renowned from Croatia.

Here is Radoslav and Ronny Cox packing up to leave with Sherry in our driveway.

It was a fun 24 hours, and both were exceptional in gratitude for our hosting them.

Rad travels the world playing his music!

Gone by times are memories!

North Main Street in Eldred, Pa., where I was raised and lived for 30 years.

The cluster of buildings on the lower left –

Are the Eldred- WWII museum.

A bucket list to see!

Many tour buses from all over stop and explore the history contained inside its walls.

And yes, that is a real Tank bursting through the wall!

The red building, lower right, was the fire hall as I was growing up.

The building to the upper right-

Was the Masonic Temple- a dentist’s and a doctor’s office as I was growing up.

It was there I went, where I broke both my arm and finger at separate times.

All my early dental work was performed there.

If you see the car in the main street, upper left-

The home I was raised in –

Is just beyond the big white house-

And now my great niece lives there.

That makes for 82 years of family living there.

Gone by times are memories!

Sherry is lighting a candle at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

We spent almost 21 years living about 30 miles from the capital.

Oftentimes, becoming sort of tour guides for family and friends.

Taknin both family and friends into the city by car or the Metro line.

We had Metro passes( still do), and the little ones loved riding the rails!

When Maddy was just able to walk –

We took her and the stroller and pushed her all over D.C.

We even have a picture on the wall of her standing outside the fence-

And the White House in the background –

Hanging on our wall.

Sherry with Jo and Paul – friends from Arizona – who visited our home in Brambleton, VA.

Jo graduated behind me in the same H.S. in Pa.

And Paul graduated from the same H.S. that Sherry attended.

Both have been long-distance friends, and we have visited their home in AZ.

Here we are at the Martin Luther King Memorial!

Reflections of Paul, Sherry, and Jo at the Vietnam Memorial Wall.

We all had friends’ names on that wall.

Bode, Taylor, and Cassidy in the back of our car-

This was during Covid, and the services were outside in the parking lot of Community Lutheran Church –

Strling , VA.

Our last service here before we moved to the Carolinas.

Here is Sherry and Papa saying goodbye to the congregation we attended for our years in NVA.

Pastor Annebbelle presides.

Notice the masks on everyone.

It was a bittersweet moment for us as we were involved in the church here.

Our car with the grandkids is in the background.

We were soon to leave –

SPECIAL PLACES!

Our longtime special friends –

Steve and Elaine, from back in WNY, who recently moved to Lynchburg, VA.

We raised our families together and played co-ed volleyball together for years.

Here we are on the ICW at Vareen Gardens –

A special place for us to walk on the ICW at the borders of N.C. and S.C.

Hoping we can visit once again!

Family time at one of our AIRBNB trips to Lynchburg, VA, to watch either Maddy or Ella play college soccer.

Watching the game –

I believe this is the game where Maddy(white), captain of the University of Lynchburg-

And Ella – (black) was the captain of the Randolph College soccer team.

Maddy and Ella are shaking hands.

Maddy was a senior and Ella a Sophomore.

Papa’s World – Events in a lifetime!

July 2nd. 2021 –

After nine months of living in Ocean Keyes, North Myrtle Beach, S.C.

We moved into our home, which we had built in Cameron Woods Community, OIB! N.C.

Some 30 minutes from Ocean Keyes but in N.C.

The one requirement I had in this home –

Was a front porch with a covered, shaded glider.

Here you see that front porch and glider!

Today it is a bit different in the landscaping!

Gone is the mulch; in its place are stones, rocks, and border stones.

We did this to cut down on the weeding and how it enhances the property.

It still is my place to sit after all these years.

Saying hello or waving as neighbors go by.

This is one of the major events of our life together as most likely the last house we build.

Other than me trimming the plants and bushes –

We have a company come in and mow-trim -weed and feed the yard.

EVENTS IN A LIFETIME!

Papa is walking in our old neighborhood of Brambleton, VA.

Above are our growing systems of Tower Gardens –

We sold all except one, which we installed in July 2021 on our back patio here in Cameron Woods-

And it has been producing ever since.

We were one of the earliest to invest in the country in these home-growing systems.

We can grow anything that does not grow on a tree in this self-watering system.

Every couple of weeks – add tonic and nutrients –

Just water in the base and no dirt.

It grows about 30 % faster and has no pesticides!

For about fifteen years, we have been growing our own produce-

And now in N.C. –

We can grow outside all year long!

After starting in three to four weeks –

You can have salads every night!

We had five, and now we’re down to just one that feeds us every day!

THE TOWER GARDEN-

EVENTS IN A LIFETIME!

Sherry and Papa –

On our tour with friends in Northern California.

We have traveled the world with Buck and Cindy, who were our neighbors back in Portville, N.Y.

Sherry, Buck, and Cindy.

They live in Magnolia Greens just outside of Leland, N.C.

About 38 miles from us.

We often get together to golf, or just have dinner or see entertainment together.

We have had many traveling the road together worldwide!

Here we are in OHAU –

We rented a car and explored almost everywhere we could drive together.

Cindy and Buck are at Lake Tahoe with us.

Friends for decades and decades.

Many, many – LIFETIME IN EVENTS with them!

MEMORIES OF LIFE!

And watch the boat traffic!

Folks write on seashells and hang them from the trees!

MEMORIES OF LIFE!

Pam and Sherry are on the Leopards Chase golf course across the street in Ocean Ridge.

One of the many times we have golfed with Pam and Bob!

Time will tell.

MEMORIES OF LIFE!

When friends meet up –

Jim, Dottie, Sherry, Buck, and Cindy.

We go back to the early 80s.

Still get together at each other’s homes.

Now, all of us are in N.C.

MEMORIES OF LIFE!

Papa and Jimmy.

We played softball together in the mid 70s-

And worked together in American Olean Tile Co.

Papa’s World – A look at the memories!

When we lived for nine months in Ocean Keyes in North Myrtle Beach –

We attended a night of music at the Beach club known as “THE SPAINISH GALLON”-

Right on the beach and main street of NMB!

The band was “JIM QUICK AND COASTLINE”!

Little did we know that this band is a fan favorite up and down the N.C. and S.C. beach coast!

NMB is the home to “SHAG DANCING,” which started there in the 1940s!

The high water tower has a painted picture of a couple doing “THE SHAG” as it is known.

The dance has a national competition for both adults and young adults!

Four times a year –

A week of dancing is sponsored in the many clubs along the beach.

The band “ALABAMA” had a hit song in the 90s-

Called “SHAGGING ON THE BOULAVARD” that crossed the charts as a major hit!

All based on the “SHAG” dance up and down the COASTLINE!

During one of those festivals –

Outside of “FAT HAROLDS” on NMB mainstreet-

We came across this truck and a tent booth selling both long sleeves and short sleeves shirts-

Of the BAND JIM QUICK AND OOASTLINE” –

Which, since we saw them that first time, we have followed.

YES – I BOUGHT A LONG SLEEVED SHIRT –

And Sherry bought a short-sleeved shirt with “FAT HAROLDS” dance club on it!

Once a week at this club, which you enter through what looks like a JUKE BOX-

Are lessons for the public – cost Ten Dollars a person –

And you learn how to “SHAG DANCE”!

The dance requires you to maintain contact with your dance partner the entire time.

It is a beautiful thing to watch and so graceful.

www.https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

TRUE – TRUE and TRUE! LOL

We took our daughter and granddaughters to “FAT HAROLDS”!

Inside “FAT HAROLDS” and sitting beside the dance floor.

It is like stepping back into history inside the building –

Which has been operating since the 60s!

Almost always, folks are dancing here!

Main Street of North Myrtle Beach –

Spanish Gallon and the radio station 94.9 – THE SURF – sits to the left of the Arch.

Here we are just past FAT HAROLDS, and DUCKS sits right across the street, and up from that is DECKERS.

There are more clubs –

This intersection is shut down on I think Thursday nights and live music from the Arch with bands-

The whole street becomes a parking lot for golf carts and hundreds of folks sitting in lawn chairs.

Papa’s World- Humor – some thoughts and positivity!

Sherry and I sometimes watch a friend’s two Corgis!

Here is the smallest one named DAX!

He likes to sit by me as close as he can get.

He is the youngest of the two –

The other one is larger and named DUKE!

We take them for walks three times a day-

Feed them twice a day –

And sometimes just relax like here and sit and pet them.

They have gotten to know us quite well.

MY GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

POSITIVITY!!!!

Papa- ELLA, the second oldest granddaughter, and Sherry.

Here at sunset in our backyard.

She has graduated from college and is now teaching in school.

June 25th. 1982 – MARRIED!

Papa’s World – My blogs – sharing life about family-friends!

Papa – on the streets in either Norway, Sweden, or Denmark!

Not sure, as this was maybe 20 years ago!

I write these blogs as a journal to read by future generations.

Instead of photo albums –

They will have these blogs.

We made this trip with her mother and sister.

A ten-day trip covering 1400 miles by bus!

Sherry’s grandmother was born in Sweden.

It was a whirlwind trip –

Exciting and memorable.

Wish I had been better at labeling the picture of who, what, and where!

Sherry and I are in a Moroccan restaurant in Morocco!

We made the trip with Buck and Cindy to Spain.

And then an airboat ride across the short distance to Africa and Morocco.

It was an experience – not sure I would ever do that again!

Spain was great –

But they took our passports on the way over to Morocco-

And would not give them back until we returned!

We had a guide, and she did not seem to know what to do about it!

While in Morocco –

Cindy and I rode these camels.

Best advice – HANG ON TIGHT as they get up and down.

When they get up –

You are almost face down as they use their back legs to rise up!

And when they lay down –

It is the reverse.

I can now say I rode a camel – but never again! LOL

My blog as a journal continues –

Here, I believe we were in a restaurant after finding our rental house in Malaga, Spain.

This was at the bottom of the long drive up to the house that overlooked a golf course-

And from the rooftop terrace-

We could see in the distance –

THE ROCK OF GILBRALTOR!

Interesting – our luggage did not land with us, and we had to go back the next day to claim it!

This was before GPS, and our phones would not work over there.

We had map quests printed out and navigated our entire trip that way.

It was crazy, but a wonderful trip in which we did over a thousand miles of exploring.

Here I am standing on a Roman bridge over a 400 to 1000-foot drop into a chasm in RHONDA SPAIN!

This span is a couple of thousand years old, and I wonder just how they built it that long ago?

We were way up in the mountains and eventually made our way to a bull-fighting arena-

That was also very, very old!

Memories for this blog all those years ago.

NOTE: WE LOST OUR CAMERA AND PHOTOS on the way home in Philadelphia at the airport!

These are pictures Cindy took and sent us!

The supplements of our choice!

LOL – Truth is here!

This is one of the reasons I blog!

Storing pictures brings back so many memories for me –

And helps me to keep my mind sharp!

The pictures are a memory jogger for me.

And these blogs are like a journal for future generations to see and read who we are!

A little humor and a smile to start your day!

The day our oldest granddaughter, Maddy, graduated from college.

She graduated with an Environmental Science degree-

And works for a national Environmental firm.

She recently became engaged, and the wedding is scheduled for sometime in 2027!

GOOD HUMOR AND HAPPY THOUGHTS!

A good thought for the day!

What everyone thought to be a Coyote –

Actually turned out to be a RED WOLF!

This was taken up by the front gate!

We heard that the N.C. Wildlife had reintroduced them back into the wild as they were no longer in N.C.

But that was up toward the Outer Banks!

This was seen here over a year ago and has not been seen since, to the best of our knowledge.

Interesting how it made its way so far south from where it was introduced into the wild!

A good thought for the day!

A supplement you can know through published research to be true!

Papa’s World – Good times and memories.

Sherry – “Grandma” and “MorMor”!

The older granddaughters call her “Grandma”!

The younger granddaughters and grandson call her”MorMor.”

Which is in Swedish – “MOTHERSMOTHER”!

Sherry’s mothers mother was born in Sweden.

Both are endearing names, and all love her!

GOOD TIMES AND MEMORIES!

All the grandchildren –

She lives for them.

GOOD TIMES AND MEMORIES!

He is gone but not forgotten.

My older brother, Roger.

He was my hero growing up.

Ten years older than I.

He graduated H.S.and then went away to college.

After college, he went into Officer Training School for the Navy.

Later, he married and never came back to his hometown of Eldred, PA.

Other than to visit every few years.

In his later years, we became close.

After we retired, we would spend time with him in The Villages of Florida.

Those are my precious memories of an older brother whom I considered my hero.

GOOD TIMES AND MEMORIES!

Mine would read “Tom hit this ball too short and to the right- now it is yours”!

Great friends –

Cindy and Buck!

Our neighbors back in Portville, N.Y. late 80s and to mid 90s.

Now we live about forty minutes from them.

We still get together –

We still golf together.

And we have traveled the world with them.

Creating – GOOD TIMES AND MEMORIES!

GOOD TIMES AND MEMORIES!

PAPA’S WORLD-

My site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog

Papa’s World – Times with Family and Friends!

When Maddy and Ella played college soccer in Lynchburg, Va.-

Many times, we made trips there to watch them play.

Ella on the left and Maddy on the right during their pre-H.S. soccer days!

They both played on the same travel team when they were younger.

Both were midfielders.

In the picture on the right –

Ella in her uniform for Randolph College and Maddy in her uniform for The University of Lynchburg.

Both schools are in Lynchburg, VA.

Maddy is two years older than Ella-

And in this picture –

Both were captains for their teams.

We used to call Ella “tiny”!

But here she is, about 5’10 and Maddy 5’7!

Those are memorable years –

Times that are priceless to us.

Today – Maddy is an Environmental Specialist, and Ella is an Elementary teacher.

TIMES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

The youngest sister is Sarah –

On the right for her first day riding the bus and her first day of school.

On the left – graduating as a senior and today a Sophomore in College!

Here she is hugging her grandma, Sherry.

She has ended up as the tallest of the three girls.

Sherry is almost 5’10!

We do not know, as of now, what she will pursue in her career-

But she is very gifted as an artist and works many jobs to earn her way through school.

TIMES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

Ella, Maddy, and Sarah.

Time gone by –

Memories to reflect back on.

PRICELESS!

We have had a core group of friends since just before we were married on 6-25-1982.

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

We try to get together every four to six months at each other’s homes.

Today we all live in the state of N.C.

So it makes it easier to travel to each other’s homes.

Friends are a priceless commodity.

All are now retired and living as seniors.

Sherry and Papa.

Living life one day at a time!

In order for us as seniors to get all the nutritional value of the above –

We take a supplement known as Juice Plus.

Every day, we take in powdered form those nutrients that go directly into the bloodstream-

And we have for twenty years.

Papa’s World – Senior living!

Sherry and Papa – our life in our senior years –

This is what we dreamed of doing all those years ago.

Trying to remain active – volunteering –

Walking – taking in events and staying in contact with family and friends.

We are well past retirement and in our final senior years.

We have close friends –

But we have always done things together.

I am not much into involving myself with others when not in the company of Sherry.

That is just who I am.

Sherry likes to be involved in lunches, crafts, and meet-ups with lady friends.

That is just fine with me.

I use my time to read –

Write my blogs and do chores around the house or outside.

Opposites attract!

We enjoy settling down in the late afternoon –

Eat dinner and then watch our favorite series together.

During the Turtle Season – we are volunteers for the Protection of Sea Turtles-

We are on the beach from mid-May to the beginning of October.

Here I am talking to tourists and explaining what we do and why we do it!

You can see the Turtle ramp that extends to the water.

This is for the baby sea turtles to make it into the water when they hatch.

Our jobs are to keep people back –

And from picking up the little turtles.

To educate folks on the survival of the little turtles.

Only one in a thousand survives to adulthood.

It is a magical moment to see them scurry to the water –

And keep the people back and the children so that they can see this moment in nature.

These times are now part of our senior lives together.

Sherry is on the back patio with Ella to the left and her mother, Debby!

Ella has graduated from college and is teaching elementary children in Va.

Here – we have a fire in our Solo Fire pit!

LOL – I like “PBR”!

And down here –

You can get a bottle for less than $3.00!!!!

Which is good for me!!! LOL

We decided over twenty years ago to find a supplement to help us as we aged into our “SENIOR” years.

We found it in Juice Plus –

I swear by it!

If this interests you –

Sherry is a distributor and has her own website.

There you can at no obligation –

See and read the research on what it proves to do.

I truly believe in this –

Having had 13 years ago –

Open heart surgery –

I will always take this as long as I live.

Papa’s World – Life near the beaches!

For nine months in the Pandemic year of 2020 to 2021-

We had this view from our living room and master bedroom –

At Ocean Keyes in North Myrtle Beach, S.C.

A fourth-floor condo with two elevators right outside our door!

This was a large lake with 780 condos-

Six swimming pools and tennis courts.

A workout area and a half-mile walk to the BEACH!

It was three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

A kitchen, dining area, laundry, and living room.

The lanai was screened in and was across both the living room and the master bedroom.

A half-mile walk to NMB main street and all the entertainment and shopping!

BUT – although we loved it – we needed our own home with a garage and storage space.

The home we had built in Cameron Woods Community, some sixteen miles from the condo, but in N.C.

And the garage we wanted.

Here it is, full after we moved “STUFF” from our storage unit!

Later, we arranged everything –

It has overhead storage with a drop-down ladder and covered flooring!

However, after three years of moving Christmas storage tubs up and down the ladder –

We only store what we seldom use up there.

As seniors, it became more and more difficult to move stuff up and down the ladder!

For resale, it is a great selling point to have that additional storage!

But, hopefully, that is down the road.

Papa is at the entrance to our community.

From here, we have access to three beaches –

Plus two more –

Oak Island and North Myrtle Beach-

All within ten to forty-five minutes!

Our happy place is beach walking.

We can now do this every day if we want to.

Just driving over the two causeway bridges –

Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach –

We can be on the sand or walkways in ten to fifteen minutes.

Just sitting on the benches, smelling the salt air and listening to the sounds of the birds and surf.

THIS IS “LIFE NEAR THE BEACHES”!

It has been five years since we moved into our new home.

Today we have all the landscaping done –

We contract out the upkeep of the lawn –

Mowing – trimming – (I trim the bushes and trees)

Aerating and composting –

Weed and feed.

We sold all of our outdoor lawn maintenance when we sold our house in NVA!

We are happy living the dreams we have always had.

Maintaining our health as we age into Senior Living at the beach.

To help maintain the “EDGE” in retirement and senior aging and living-

We have taken these supplements for over twenty years.

Left to right-

Nutrients in powdered form – and Gummies if you have problems swallowing capsules!

Proven to go immediately into your bloodstream-

BERRIES – FRUITS – VEGETABLES –

And the Orange are OMEGAS –

Made from ALGAE and not Fish oil.

THIRTY fruits – berries and vegetables.

OMEGAS – 3,5,6,7 and 9!

I do not like the FISH taste of Omegas –

These taste like cream sicles if you bite into them.

If any of this interests you –

Sherry has been a distributor for over twenty years.

My mother – “MARY” – was almost 98 years old when she passed away.

Here she is with “Skeet,” a childhood and adult friend of my brother Roger.

Mom loved “Skeet’ like he was just another son.

He would spend all holidays at our home and come to dinner often.

You can see from this picture just how much they adored each other.

“THIS IS MY LIFE”!

This is how I was raised- my mother was a lot like this!

This is my life –

I have taken this supplement for over twenty years.

As a senior, I want to age as healthily as I can.

I find this to be of great help in achieving that goal.

Today we both take this supplement.

Building our IMMUNE SYSTEMS –

Eating healthy.

Giving up fast food –

Eating more fruits and vegetables.

These berries act together –

After a high-fat meal –

Keep the arteries from shrinking –

And allowing the blood to flow.

THIS IS OUR LIFE that revolves around aging as healthily as we can.

Both of us are closer to 80 than 70!

We want to enjoy our senior years together,

Our path to health –

This works for us.

Sherry and I have many, many of what we consider “FRIENDS”!

Above – front to back –

Cindy and Buck!

Our neighbors in the late 80’s until they moved to N.C. in the mid 90’s.

But – we stayed in contact and visited back and forth –

Plus, we have traveled the world with them on vacations!

Today, we all live “THE LIFE IN SENIOR WORLD”!

Next is Ingrid and Les.

While we have not known Ingrid as long as Les-

He played softball with me back in Eldred in the mid – 70’s!

We have stayed in touch all these years and periodically see one another.

They are now full-time RV’ERS!

Every other year, they swing by to see us!

FRIENDS – BUT LIFE IN OUR SENIOR WORLD!

Next on the left side, Pam and Bob!

They have been married for 21 years.

Bob is my oldest friend.

We grew up together in Eldred, Pa.

Grade school and High School –

Sports and staying at each other’s homes.

Today they are resting in a rental near us after 6 1/2 years traveling the country in an RV!

They are trying to find out if they should sell their condo in N.H. –

And like this area, but also if 6 1/2 years of RVING is enough!

Time will tell –

But for now – FRIENDS IN SENIOR WORLD!

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

Close friends and now all retired seniors!

To have these friendships –

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

To have these friends is a blessing to us.

Debby is a friend of Jim and Dottie, and we have gotten to know her.

All of us are retired and are FRIENDS IN THE SENIOR WORLD!

Papa’s World – Our health – Supplement!

To be healthy, we had to give up many unhealthy eating habits!

I no longer drink sodas (pop) or energy drinks.

Mostly, I drink ice water.

I will occasionally have a beer when out with friends.

I no longer drink milk, which I used to consume in large amounts!

I cut way back on sweets – if I have cake, I generally do not eat the frosting.

I am borderline diabetic and have been taking medication for the last nine years.

I love fruits and vegetables – boiled dinners.

I rarely have fast food anymore –

I was a fast food junkie!

That is mostly on long trips.

We have made a dramatic change over the past twenty years.

Living life like this is not easy, as temptations are forever present.

We do take a supplement and have taken this for over twenty years.

We went to a health vendor show in Washington, D.C. –

At the convention center –

And was called “NBC FOR YOUR HEALTH,” the TV network!

While there, Sherry came across a booth that asked-

“If you could get 30 fruits and vegetables in a capsule that goes directly into your bloodstream – would you”?

Sing me up Sherry said – I don’t like vegetables!

She bought a three-month supply but was told this is only the beginning!

It takes 90 days for every cell in your body to regenerate!

And if you put all these nutrients from these capsules into your bloodstream-

Then in the second 90 days, you have regenerated more healthy!

That made sense to both of us-

And we have continued for over twenty years.

We are now both closer to 80 than 70!

One of the changes in better health with JP is skin tone!

Finger and toe nails and hair grow faster.

We “FEEL” healthy.

Being a senior makes you slow down.

But – at a slower pace, we feel.

We are busy –

Volunteering – going to the beach –

I look at my watch to see what day it is! LOL

These are the basics for Juice Plus.

I have never missed a day in twenty years.

I guess what is most important for me –

Is how I feel!

I know it works for ME!

And in the days of Covid and the FLU –

Building your IMMUNE system –

I may get sick- but not as bad as I used to.

We are aging beyond into our SENIOR YEARS.

We remain active –

We watch what we eat.

And I CRAVE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES NOW!

Back in the early to mid-90s-

Sherry and I worked with Adam –

I worked for Adam as a Process Facilitator.

Sherry was a supervisor in the Mounting Department.

We got to know Peggy, his wife –

And Adam worked at the Olean Plant for about a year and a half.

In this picture are Adam, Peggy, and Sherry-

On the main street of North Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Adam and Peggy spend a week on vacation here each year.

Peggy is from this area of S.C.

We have gotten together when they are here and spend a day in conversation and memories-

From our time at American Olean Tile-Dal Tile in Olean, N.Y.

When Sherry and I came to S.C. looking for a house to buy-

We stayed a half mile from the main street of North Myrtle Beach for nine months.

During that time, we had a house built in Ocean Isle Beach in N.C., sixteen miles away.

We still come here to walk and see the SHAG SOS events that happen every 3 to 4 months!

THE SHAG is a national dance that has been around since the 40’s and started here.

It is a dance that combines many dance moves, and seldom do you lose contact with your partner.

Carolina Beach Music was born here, and even Alabama had a hit song-

“SHAGGING ON THE BOULVARD to top the country charts

They started out in Myrtle Beach.

We sat outside an ice cream place called THE MELT-

Just a few stores from FAT HAROLDS and across the street from DUCKS!

FAT HAROLDS has been here for over 60 years, and it is like walking back into the past when you go through-

The front doors look like a giant JUKE BOX!

It is here where national contests are held for both senior and junior SHAG competitions nationwide.

North Myrtle Beach is known as the SHAG CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!

Our time spent with Adam and Peggy is a memory of times gone by!

Adam is a big problem solver and a consultant for companies nationwide in Process Improvements.

Asked if retirement is in the immediate future-

“NO WAY” – I am having too much fun!

Papa’s World – Living our lives – positive thoughts!

Sherry and I both lived this era of our lives.

We did not know one another and have different memories of that time.

In 1974, I bought a motorcycle and rode for six years.

She, in turn, had a pull behind the camper and did the camping bit!

After six years, I sold the motorcycle and never rode again.

I rode to Wheeling, West Virginia, several times.

Along with trips to Buffalo and Erie.

That was a part of life I shall always remember.

I no longer have the desire to own a motorcycle, a boat, or a camper.

The lesson I learned was to always watch out for the other driver!

Sad but true!

I have a rough time REMEBERING names.

I try to associate them with things of my past.

Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn’t.

I think it might just be a “SENIOR” thing?

Oh well- at least I try!!!!

Andrea and my oldest son – Troy!

On the visit they made a few years ago.

They still live back in NWPA!

Troy can and does build houses from the ground up!

He must have gotten that from my father and not me! LOL

This is Juice Plus capsules and gummies!

The orange is Omegas, not made from fish oil, but Algae.

Fish eat Algae to make Omegas.

In the capsules and gummies are 30 different fruits, vegetables, and berries.

The Omegas contain different kinds!

The gummies – I use them in place of candy and sugar.

These enhance your IMMUNE system.

Over 40 different studies and research prove all the benefits of taking Juice Plus.

And – it immediately goes into the bloodstream.

The combination prevents arterial constriction during and after a high-fat meal.

There is so much more that they do!

JUICE PLUS – our supplement of choice for over twenty years!

Makes our skin youthful!

Sherry and I follow the BILLS!

We have been Bills fans since the mid-80s!

“THE BILLS MAKE YOU WANT TO SHOUT”!

I believe this to be true!

My youngest son, Shawn, and Papa!

He and Trisha still live back in NWPA!

Son and Father – priceless.

Family – living life to the plus!

Good day, everyone – WELCOME to Papa’s World.

A place for positive writing!

This site is my journal on life for our family of generations to come-

To see who we are – where we have lived-

And how we were married in June of 1982 –

Combined two sets of children into the family we have today!

June 25th, 1982 – our wedding day!

Now, all those children are on their own with children of their own.

Someday, there will be grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We will be gone –

But this journal and the many blogs will show how we lived and what we lived for.

FAMILY – FRIENDS and positive writings to pass down to generations to come.

Our life together has traveled the road to where we have ended up-

Cameron Woods Community –

In Ocean Isle Beach!

Sherry – standing on Sunset Beach –

The other beach we are close to.

Sherry on our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic!

We were supposed to go to the Bahamas-

But the travel agency called and said the resort was under renovation!

They gave us a Jack Tar Village and all-inclusive as a second choice.

The first one was not all-inclusive.

We had such a good time, and it was the first time being out of the country for both of us.

LOL – that will never happen for me!

Our front porch –

My “HAPPY” place to sit and watch folks go by!

Today, we are well into our senior lives!

Years into retirement.

Living life to the fullest and living one day at a time.

We maintain our daily health with a supplement.

A positive to us!

Hello everyone –

This is Papa and Sherry.

For the second time for both of us –

We were married on 6-25-1982!

Our wedding day all those years ago.

We keep the positives in our lives together.

Raising two sets of children –

And now we live near Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach in N.C.

We hit a lot of dirt paths in those early years.

We had no money, but we made do with what we had.

LOL – later – after the children were all gone –

We took up golf together.

Another positive in our lives.

Twenty years ago –

We came across a supplement that we both started taking to age healthily.

Today, we have never missed a day.

A new JUICE PLUS PRODUCT!

I have been using JUICE PLUS for over 20 years.

When I need to substitute a meal –

My go-to is the DURCH CHOCOLATE drink.

I take the powder one scoop-

Mix it with ice, water, and almond milk –

Put it in the blender, and it is like an unfrozen Wendy’s frozen drink.

Then with a piece of toast – that is my breakfast or lunch.

Now, they have produced a third flavor – STRAWBERRY!

And the other flavor is FRENCH VANILLA –

Which,

I sometimes add a teaspoon of peanut butter.

POSITIVITY!

Sherry was a runner – me – not so much! LOL

I was the SUPPORT TEAM!

In one of her competitions, she placed first in the age group 60 to 64!!!!

She ran the Cherry Blossom 10 milers several times through the streets of Washington, D.C.

The most memorable time was when her daughters –

Debby and Tammy ran with her.

They all crossed the finish line together, holding hands!

THAT WAS A PRECIOUS MOMENT IN TIME!

Mother and daughters-

Debby, Sherry, and Tammy!

Sherry – holding Cassidy’s hand –

Sarah is next to Cassidy.

Tammy is holding Taylor and Maddy, scooping sand.

On a beach vacation.

A moment in time –

Today, the twins are Sophomores in H.S.

Maddy has graduated from college, and Sarah is a Sophomore in college.

Growing up, he was a supervisor for South Penn Oil Company!

Before he passed away from cancer-

He retired from that job and started working in the store.

This ruler is a memory from that time.

Cindy, Dottie, and Sherry-

Have been close friends for decades – since the mid 80’s!

Along the way, they all had daughters.

Sherry has Debby and Tammy.

Cindy has Sandy –

And Dottie has Katie.

All the mothers and daughters are true BUFFALO BILLS FANS!

In the 2025 NFL season-

The Bills played against the Carolina Panthers, and they all got together-

To rent an Airbnb and go to the game.

Papa’s Good and Happy thoughts!

My most HAPPY thought for the day- MY MOTHER!

She passed just before her 98th birthday!

My father died when I was 19, and later she remarried.

My stepfather’s name was John –

And he passed before she was 90.

She lived alone before she could no longer take care of herself at age 96.

She was kind, funny, and an excellent baker.

She made pies and cakes for a restaurant.

She retired from what we always called ALCAS KNIVES –

Later renamed as “CUTCO”!

She would sit on her front porch on Main Street in a little town called Eldred in Pa.

Countless cars would go by, and horns sounded.

Across the street would come from rolled-down windows-

“HELLO MARY”!!!!!

She would just laugh when I would ask who that was.

“I DON’T KNOW,” she would reply.

Everyone loved her.

Mary – she is gone now – but this picture makes me smile, and memories come flooding back!

LOL – Writing blogs – seeing pictures and the memories come back.

My blogs are a lifetime page in a journal about family, friends, and stories I remember for generations to come.

This picture is of the WWII museum in Eldred, Pa.

The tank is real and looks like it’s about to burst through the wall of the old Frisbee Insurance building!

But this is but a small fraction of the whole museum.

It expands way behind this in the old Slavins two-story furniture building, with a connecting building to this one.

While I was growing up –

Behind this building was a parking lot-

Used as STORAGE for Penn Electric and their trucks and poles.

Today, busloads of people stop here and tour the museum –

Which in my opinion, to find better, you would have to travel to Washington, D.C.

I suggest you make this a bucket list thing to explore in NWPA –

In the Alleghany mountains, once home to the Seneca Indian nation.

The reservation is now just across the border in Salamaca, N.Y., with a casino!

ANOTHER SMILE FOR THE DAY and GOOD THOUGHT!

SMILES and GOOD THOUGHTS for the day!

When they were young –

Maddy and Ella –

Both are now graduated from college.

What draws me to this picture is how Maddy looks at her grandma- SHERRY!

And “TINY,” as we called her – Ella – has that faraway look.

Maddy has her little arm around Sherry.

GRANDMA AND TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS –

Papa’s World – The life we live!

Sherry and I have always lived our lives to protect the environment and help others when we can.

Almost everywhere we have lives –

We have planted “TREES”!

We live for our families, our church, and the life we have chosen in this turmoil in everyday life.

It makes me sad to see what is happening now in this world.

Life now is a road full of pitfalls.

But life to us is also full of volunteering –

Trying to help where we can.

About two miles from the Sunset Beach Pier toward the SE –

Sits a mailbox that has been there for over four decades!

This is a place of solitude-

A place to sit and gaze out over the ocean or over the dunes and marshlands.


“THE KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX,” as it is called.

A journal is placed within with a pen or pencil

You are encouraged to write –

Leave a message or just a thought!

It is monitored daily and removed and replaced when full.

Years and years worth of journals.

I am not sure, but I have heard they are preserved at a university.

After decades and decades, it is still there.

A peaceful setting still preserved, and our kind of thoughts –

This is what we live our lives for.

We choose our lifestyle –

One of hope and helping!

Not everyone understands this –

But we are what we are.

We are stronger together for this.

Sherry – in the rising of the sun on the shore of OIB.

I hope this blog explains how we feel and think.
