Papa’s World – ” I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO”

September 17, 2019September 10, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

On our list – SAN FRANCISCO – and we made it !

We left in traffic in the early morning –

and arrived still in traffic crossing the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE in FOG !

We had a destination – a parking garage –

But it was surrounded by one way streets !

So – drove around and around –

passing our way in a few times

because we could not get to it.

The plus to all that was the garage was right across the street from Pier 39 !

We also had a view of Alcatraz in the bay.

We choose not to go there as Buck and Cindy had been there

and I wanted to spend more time in the city !

We walked and walked Pier 39 –

NOTE – we left Sacramento in 100 plus temps

had to have light jackets as it only got to 64 and foggy.

great place to people watch and also full of unique places.

If you go here – take it all in and search out a good place to eat !

It also was close to where we bought tickets

for a 2 1/2 hour bus tour ( you can hop on and off )

we selected to stay on and then walk when we got back.

I also recommend you walk to the end of Pier 39

where you can see hundreds of huge Harbor Seals

all barking and moving around on floating docks!

Papa’s World – MUIR’S FOREST – REDWOODS

September 11, 2019September 5, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

Finally – after visiting Muir’s Beach – it was time to retrace our route

and back to the reserved parking lot – to visit THE REDWOODS !

So many pictures – so much awesome forest and trees –

that I have decided to break this down into a series.

I have never seen a forest such as this –

so pristine – so awesome –

But – in the middle of all this –

a flash from the past –

A PAY PHONE !

You look up and up and still up !

Upon entering – a telling of Muir Forest

This forest has been here for

some say 1600 years at least !

It was explained to me – that this is the perfect storm so to speak.

One – between 42 and 68 degrees –

FOG – these are the only trees to absorb moisture through their leaves !

The protection from the winds in their valleys.

And – their root systems being shallow –

they intertwine with one another !

The Sun is hot -the shade is cool !

I wonder why all the older trees hollow out on the bottom ?

Thank you for reading Papa’s World –

the Muir Forest Redwoods will continue.

Papa’s World-Growing up Eldred Pa. – part Six.

August 17, 2019August 16, 2019 / Tom / 2 Comments

Eldred – a small community situated by the Allegheny River

Among the rolling hills know as the old mountain range

” The Allegheny Mountains “

I wrote a blog a short while ago –

about the title before there was ” STAND BY ME “

There was Eldred –

where everybody knows your name.

Bob – me ( Tom ) – Greg – Mike – John – Sully – Gerry – Gus and Pat

We were friends – we were buddies –

we had each others back

And we once took a little trip down that river .

Canoeing the Allegheny River
I believe our Sophomore year

Our little group grew and grew –

We were part of a national group known as The Exployer’s !

Raising money for our trips –

Staying out of trouble –

Almost all of my buddies belonged

And the younger kids started to follow.

We played sports –

we were not into trouble –

we did not smoke – which back then was a big deal !

A few who did got kicked off the team.

We lived – played and grew up in a small Western Pa. town

close to the South Western New York border

where every one knew your name

In all the years before – and the years since –

The faces have changed –

the names also –

but to this day it remains

The little town – where every one knew your name

Of ELDRED PA .

Papa’s World – Positive thinking – frame of mind!

August 11, 2019August 5, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

This has never happened to me – but – getting older – it might !

The FISH – well – all my grand daughter talks about is –

HAVING A BUNNY RABBIT !!!! LOL

Turn the negative into a positive –

Not so sure what the parents will think !

Remaining positive does take some work –

Looking past the negative to see the message –

and make it the best you can.

Words have hidden meanings –

One such word we had a long time ago where I worked –

” TEAM “

” Together – Employees – And – Management “

Positive thoughts –

Working to improve the situation –

Understanding –

Creating the process in your mind –

Leading others to think positive –

creates balance in your life –

Now – there is a limit for me –

I AM POSITIVE I CAN NOT SING –

But – of course with CLOSE friends –

and a beer and fireball –

well – they are FRIENDS ( Positive thinking there )

Remain Positive –

Think Positive –

Smile –

and have good thoughts –

Make it your day –

and pass it on !

Papa’s World – in today’s World – being POSITIVE !

July 18, 2019July 11, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

I find myself looking – looking and looking to see POSITIVE !

I try to find it always – I force myself to think it –

I believe in it therefore I find it !

Positive thinking for me has become routine.

And it has been that way my entire adult life.

END – Effort never dies – I look for other ways –

FAIL – First attempt In Learning – I read – I watch – I search – then I process-

NO – Next Opportunity – when one door closes – open another & another –

I see opportunities – I see chances – I try to see both sides –

I do not have a lot – but I give what I can –

Mind – Soul – Laughs – Smiles – Greetings –

Those are FREE –

An older couple – a diverse couple –

I later learned from India –

I was sitting on my front porch –

It started to sprinkle –

They stopped under my tree for shelter – it rained harder –

I asked them to come onto the porch –

The wind picked up –

I invited them inside until it passed –

They were grateful –

BEING KIND –

Looking – looking and looking – finding positive –

Papa’s World – and SHE says I can’t hear !

July 16, 2019July 9, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

It all starts with ” What did you say ” ?

As I gradually get older –

I find certain words sound alike !

It is not that I do not hear them –

But my brain tries to understand just which one to select ! LOL

And that also goes for when I watch a movie –

a TV show –

Anything that has to do with HEARING –

Not when I READ !

That is different – I know what I read !

Even though I do not hear the right word –

I tend to get the message !

So – I ask –

“What was that ” ?

Or – ” Pardon me ” ?

That way – I am sure that I heard it right !

Funny how that works –

Because most times –

when it is repeated –

then it comes across the right way !

EXACTLY – there is a way – you just have to try to find it !

So – when we watch TV together – or a movie –

We BOTH look at each other –

“WHAT WAS THAT THEY SAID ” we say to one another ?

” DON’T KNOW – TURN IT UP ” !

Must be WE BOTH can not understand the WORD !

FUNNY -and I thought it was just ME !!!

LOL

And then – I get the mail –

And one is addressed to me –

I open it up –

” HEARING AIDS ” !

I look and she laughs

” IT WASN’T ME SHE SAYS” !

LOL

Papa’s World – Grand daughters came to visit

July 2, 2019June 26, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

We picked them up on Saturday afternoon – at their house –

Their parents were leaving early the next morning –

To take their oldest daughter to college –

They would not be back until early evening on Tuesday –

Good morning – welcome to Papa’s World.

We had the girls stay with us for three days – and it was a pleasure.

Oh – and we also had Sarah’s ( with a “H” ) she says –

LOVE BIRD – FINNY !

Our three oldest grand daughters
Maddy & Ella holding Sarah

Finny will be coming to live with us for a week when they go on vacation !

Sarah – is the youngest at 13 while Ella will be 16 next month.

Never a cross word – extremely funny – giggling and laughing –

Sarah can be a hand full – but she is so outgoing –

And she is sprouting right up there – Ella is already as tall as Maddy –

And I think Sarah will be taller than either one.

Ella is within a inch and half of Sherry – who is 5′ 9 ” !

Ella on this board that you wiggle back and forth and it moves forward

We took them everywhere

and they also spent a lot of time with their cousins

They constantly – the both of them – went up and down

and around the house on some type of board.

I would of been upside down in a second on these things !

We went to the pool yesterday afternoon –

and they almost had it to themselves !

Sadly – it all came to a end last night as they waited for their ride home.

People ask why we don’t move to a warmer climate –

Two of the reasons were here this weekend.

The house is quiet now – no laughter – no giggling –

No noise going up and down the street

I gaze at their beds where they slept –

And think just how fortunate we are –

In a couple weeks – Finny will be coming back

But I miss them already –

Looking forward to the next time –

Two young ladies – laughing –

Made these grand parents happy for the weekend.
