Papa’s World – More memorable times in pictures.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

We were all friends back in NVA-

We were the first to move to N.C.

Then Jim and Claudia and Jason, and Ginger bought lots-

And had their homes built.

Jim and Claudia are about four miles away-

Ginger and Jason live just outside Leland, near Buck and Cindy.

We often get together, and this time was at Barefoot Landing –

At The Big Chill restaurant.

Becoming a memorable time in a picture!

Sherry and Cindy-

Back in the late 80s and mid 90s –

We were neighbors in WNY.

They moved to Leland, and we would visit.

We have traveled the world with them!

Buck and I are on the golf course.

We almost always play a scramble with the girls.

Neighbors from a long time ago –

Today we live about 35 miles from them.

We have traveled the World with them –

Most recently –

To Florida, where we met up –

Shared an AIRBNB –

And went to Epcot together.

Becoming memorable times in pictures!

Before we moved to N.C.-

We often went to D.C.

Here we are at the National Harbor-

With Tammy and Taylor, Cassidy and Bode.

Many memories of fun family times.

Becoming memorable times in pictures.

Humor and laughs keep me coming back for more golf – LOL!

Playing golf here in N.C. and S.C.

If the ball goes into the water – “LEAVE IT”!

Also, snakes – I am always careful in looking for my golf ball!

Another memorable picture in time.

My brother Roger at The Villages car and golf cart show.

We would spend the winter with him at his house near Lake Sumter Landing.

He is now gone, but forever remembered by me.

Another memorable picture in time.

On one of our many trips with the Mcbrides –

we stopped at a resort outside of Ashville, N.C.

Here is Sherry with some “BEARS” on the front porch!

This resort had many pictures of celebs over the years

and overlooks a valley with a golf course.

I can not remember the name

but it was recommended we stop and check it out!

MORE MOMENTS IN MEMORABLE PICTURES!

Happiness is with lifelong friends –

Kayaking the ICW –

And having shots of FIREBALL

provided by one of the Kayakers!

Standing in the marsh at low tide –

Something that will go down as –

MORE MOMENTS IN MEMORABLE PICTURES!

My mother Mary –

and if you read her hat –

“She was the boss”!

She lost my father in 1969 from cancer.

Later after years of being alone –

She remarried and in 2001 –

John passed away-

and she lived out her life-

alone once again.

She was almost 98 –

when she passed away-

Gone but in my mind never forgotten.

MORE MOMENTS IN MEMORABLE PICTURES!

“MARLEY” – the Goldendoodle –

She is the dog family member-

of Tammy and Marcus – Taylor – Cassidy and Bode.

Such a gentle-loving puppy –

growing into a member of the family!

Taylor has trained her to do so many things –

She works with her inside-

and outside the house.

She has a knack with animals –

and rides horses herself.

“MARLEY” has provided MORE MOMENTS IN MEMORABLE PICTURES!

LOL – good humor for today!

Marcus at his mothers with the twins –

Cassidy and Taylor.

Two little blond-blue-eyed girls.

They were early-

because the doctor said they had to come out!

It was not planned –

an event that was done right away –

and it just happened –

they were delivered on Tammy’s birthday.

Now all three share the same birthday.

In the NIC unit – both were just over one pound –

Taylor was the bigger one –

but Cassidy was the first to come home.

Today – Taylor is almost as tall as Sherry –

and Cassidy is taller than her mother!

Here – is a moment captured in time that –

Becomes MORE MOMENTS IN MEMORABLE PICTURES!

My oldest son

and youngest son with their family –

A trip they made to spend time with us.

Thus – this too becomes –

MORE MOMENTS IN MEMORABLE PICTURES!

When they were young –

Taylor – Sarah ( now 18) and Cassidy – the twins are now almost 15!

These three bonded right away in their youth.

They even formed a Mermaid Club one year when we went on vacation.

Here they dressed up at our patio in Brambleton, Va.

In between houses –

they came along –

with their parents to live with us until their new home

was ready!

I would play hide and seek with them!

Here they are when I found them –

hiding in plain sight-

They were so cute back then-

when they wore identical outfits.

Giggling when I found them –

I wish we could go back in time to these days-

But – the pictures allow us to have-

EVENTS IN OUR LIVES – THAT ARE MEMORABLE!

For almost twenty years –

Sherry has been a leader-

(TEAM GENERATIONS) –

in the world of-

HEALTH and NUTRITION!

Here – she is at a conference giving a speech –

She is a CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH-

from the renowned Dr. Willaim Sears –

A top doctor in the country for children’s health

and author of dozens of children’s health books.

Her many years of service for the industry of Juice Plus –

has been recognized –

at Conferences across the nation.

As we now are in our Golden Senior Years –

Our commitment has never wavered –

Our goal set Twenty Years ago was to –

AGE HEALTHY –

into our Golden Years which is what we have done.

Continuing this path

has left a path for Generations

of our family to follow.

Thus creating –

EVENTS IN OUR LIVES THAT ARE MEMORABLE!

For over a dozen years we have been harvesting our own homegrown vegetables –

Here is Sherry with daughters Debby and Tammy –

Who have followed their mother and helped in forming –

TEAM GENERATIONS those many years ago.

This TEAM is all up and down the East Coast and spread into other parts of the country.

Using The TOWER GARDEN from Juice Plus.

No pesticides are used –

Grown with just water and nutrients that were developed to use on the Space Station-

In Outer Space.

Being now in a warmer climate –

We grow twelve months of the year.

We continue to harvest all year!

We know what we are eating –

and it is so convenient –

To just walk out the back door

and select what we want to eat.

Here is the bounty of one of our Tower Gardens

we used to harvest vegetables and greens.

Do we need “GREEN THUMBS”?

No – we just harvest –

add water and Nutrients –

and trim it back every so often –
Creating –

EVENTS IN OUR LIVES THAT MEMORABLE!

Place: Kinzua State Park Bridge – Marcus – Tammy 0 Cassidy and Taylor – Jennie- Maddy and Sherry.

Where: Mount Jewett, Pa.

This railroad via- -duct was constructed in the 1800s-

to transport coal to Erie and I believe Pittsburg.

At that time it was the highest RR bridge in the country.

Over 300 feet straight down to the valley floor.

Several years ago – a tornado came through the valley

and half the iron bridge toppled down.

Today – they remain where they came to rest on the valley floor.

Sherry grew up just a couple miles from here.

The remaining bridge was reinforced and a see-through floor was installed on the remaining

end of the structure.

The bridge then became a state park-

with a fantastic museum and teaching center on history

of the area and the bridge.

This bridge when constructed spanned almost a mile across the valley floor.

The remaining bridge was converted into a walkway-

with a viewing platform at the very end.

You can walk out there ( I do not as I am afraid of heights) and look through a safety glass floor-

straight down 300-plus feet to the floor of the valley.

As in the picture above you can see the iron grid supports where they came down –

that day when the Tornado came through.

It is a spot where an episode of FINDING BIGFOOT was filmed years ago!

Today – if you are in NWPA near Bradford –

It is a bucket list state park to visit-

in the valleys where the Seneca Indians once roamed.

Thus it would become a MEMORABLE MEMORY!

Sherry with her sister Bonnie and Maddy in front –

On the main street of Mount Jewett, Pa.-

During the yearly SWEDISH FESTIVAL EVENT held in August of every year

for the past nearly 50 years!

The mural is a section of the Swedish community of immigrants who settled in the town in the 1800s.

The heritage of the Vikings is celebrated every year during the festival.

Maddy in the breakfast-lunch dinner that is excellent in homemade food!

Also is full of Swedish memorable items on that heritage-

Sherry and Maddy at the Mount Jewett Swedish Festival information booth in town.

Before Sherry’s mother passed away –

this was a yearly trip we made back

to Mount Jewett to her mother’s house.

All the grandkids grew up knowing this town –

and home to GIGI – Sherry’s mother-

who lived here all her life.

Her own mother was born in Sweden and they relocated here-

And it became a large Swedish immigrant community.

In GIGIs living room –

Maddy sits with Taylor on the left –

and Cassidy on the right – see just how Cassidy adores her cousin.

Wrapping up this blog –

late friends sit to the left – they passed away a few years ago.

my son Troy in yellow –

and then Papa.

This was at the parade that has become a must-see –

and dozens of communities

participate – the parade is like the grand final before the carnival and Firehall

Chicken BBQ and games of chance begin!

Thus it now comes to a close to a this blog-

MEMORABLE EVENTS!

Papa and Sherry – thanks for reading-

Papa’s World – Something memorable to us!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Good grief says Papa!

Here it is after four years – “SNOW”!

You up North – it is yours and I do not want it! LOL

But – I must say all the snow and ice was gone in five days!

Now – to be fair – this was a freak storm that went all the way down to Florida –

The Panhandle had snow – the beaches there had snow!

The East Coast or the Carolinas and Ga. and Va. had snow.

But inland they didn’t!

Climate Change?

I do not know but it was weird.

And it all turned to an ice crust and ice on the roads!

I will still take our winter here –

SUNSHINE most days and all day!

Walking in the sun – it is enough to take the chill away!

But – this will go down as SOMETHING MEMORABLE TO US!

Here are the two teams we follow –

I lean a little bit more toward the Washington Commanders –

And Sherry leans a bit more toward the Buffalo Bills!

So – it came down that both made it to one game to go to the Super Bowl.

Neither one made it, but we were happy they got there!

And I said if they both make it –

I FEEL THAT I CAN’T LOSE NO MATTER HOW IT ENDS UP!

But this will go down as SOMETHING MEMORABLE TO US!

Golfing in the mountains of OHAU – this was a dream come true.

We might never be able to do this again and most likely –

a once in a lifetime event!

Thus it becomes SOMETHING MEMORABLE TO US!

We moved to the borders of N.C. and S.C. and to two beaches!

Most of the time we can walk year round on either one of them.

It is a dream we had and now a reality.

Thus it becomes SOMETHING MEMORABLE TO US!

This is something we both live by each day-

So it has become LIVE LIFE TO THE PLUS ONE DAY AT A TIME!

And also SOMETHING MEMORABLE TO US each day!

Each and every day in our lives together becomes SOMETHING MEMORABLE TO US!

This blog details that each and every day –

I want to thank you all for reading –

When we lived in Brambleton, Va. –

we were only one mile away from Tammy – Marcus – the twins and Bode.

He was too young for school and the twins were at the middle school less than a block away.

So – for the most part – he spent his days with MORMOR and PAPA.

We had a cupboard that all the kid’s toys would fit into.

All of the grandkids played with these same toys!

Hours and hours!

The carpet on the floor – the fireplace on for the cold and snow outside.

The only time he quit was to eat!

I would sit and watch and sometimes join in!

The FARM SET was his favorite.

I miss these times but also have MEMORABLE MOMENTS in pictures of those times!

Along with shopping and him riding in the cart!

Now he is older – soon to be eleven years old –

Now he asks MORMOR to bake cookies so he can help!

This is now creating more MEMORABLE MOMENTS in time for us as seniors.
