Our lives together began while dating in 1980 – 81 – over forty years ago.
We were married on 6-25-1982 in Portville, N.Y.
Sherry from Mount Jewett, Pa., and myself from Eldred, Pa.
The combination of her girls and my boys.
The last of my family growing up in our house – my older brother Roger – is gone now but never forgotten.
He was the only hero I had – ten years my senior – thankfully we once again reunited the last ten years of his life – he graduated from H.S. and then College and the Navy.
He never came back home to live!
Sherry – Papa – Pam and Bobby – my grade-school – Jr. high and H.S. friend –
Now – after all these years we still get together!
Friends for life – now when here a golfing buddy!
Jimmy – Dottie – Sherry – Buck – Cindy and Papa –
close friends from back in WNY and Pa.
Visiting each other – vacations – golfing – neighbors and friends from my post-H.S. days.
To be continued – in MEMORIES OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER – PAPA’S WORLD – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
It all started for Sherry and me on June 25th. 1982 when we were married – the second time for the both of us – combining my two sons with her two daughters!
Today – both daughters are married with families of their own – living in NVA where we moved from.
My two sons still live back in NWPA and have come down to visit last summer.
The rest of the family has also visited and we look forward to everyone returning!
We still explore and do different things – dressing up for Halloween – driving new roads and seeing as much as possible!
Our friends visit – Bob and I went to grade school and then graduated from the same H.S.
Lifelong friends and now with Pam – his second wife – fun times!
Our only grandson from Sherry’s side – Bode – going to follow in the footsteps of his cousins whom both play and played soccer in college – Bode is going to be another soccer player!

Us – 1982 – married – PICTURES THROUGH TIME!
My two sons – Troy and Shawn! Memory!
Our youngest grandchildren – Cassidy – Bode and Taylor! Memory!
Over the years we have experienced so many fond memories – family and friends!
The family gathers back in NWPA where it all started at Mount Nebo – a Swedish Lutheran Church built by ancestors in 1886 – in Mount Jewett, Pa.
The church today still holds special services throughout the year and the town has a yearly Swedish Festival celebrating the heritage of the immigrants from Sweden who settled here!
The church is now considered a historical church as it is eight-sided and modeled after a church still in Sweden.
Some nineteen years ago – Sherry and I and her mother Barb and sister Debbie – journeyed to Denmark – Sweden, and Norway for a ten-day bus trip exploring the countries!
Going back to where her ancestors came from was a highlight for Sherry and her family!
Some day we would like to take a trip to where my ancestors came from in Ireland!
Now we have a set of twins – Cassidy and Taylor who just turned thirteen years old!
Here is what they came home to all those years ago!
Cassidy and Taylor with their mother Tammy – all three have the same birthday which was not planned!
At three years old – while selling their home – the family moved in with us – and here they are at our front door – Cassidy on the left and Taylor on the right.
I still remember the time I found them in the downstairs half bath – with the door shut and they had set up house playing in there – so cute!
Today Cassidy and Taylor with Bode who will turn nine – Cassidy is 5′ 4″ and is gaining on Taylor who is 5’7″ and will be close to 5’10 when done growing!
Bode is also going to be tall and all three take after Sherry who is 5’9″ – Ella is 5’9″ and Sarah is the same as our other granddaughters. Maddy is 5’6″.

TAYLOR “NOW’ our horse-loving granddaughter – growing up!
TAYLOR AND HER MOTHER – “THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE – LIFETIME MEMORIES!”
We gather memories in thought and pictures – lifetime events that seemed small back then but turn into LIFE!
Life is full of little thoughts – but practice in life turns into positive happenings!
Many years ago – the four of us – friends – neighbors – decided to golf – fun times – laughter and friendships!
Today – living a mere 35 minutes away – we try to get together once a week or two – golfing in our senior years!
We were neighbors – back in WNY – and we decided to try and get the girls into golfing – they wore gloves because their hands were cold – laughing at us as we washed our balls –
Now – we are senior golfers – playing mostly scrambles guys vs. gals and they mostly win!
A LITTLE THING SUCH AS GOLFING HAS TURNED INTO A BIG THING FOR US TO WITH ONE ANOTHER!
A “LITTLE” bit of humor to bring a “BIG” SMILE! HGD!
A LITTLE TRIP AND A LUNCH – BEING TOGETHER IS PART OF OUR BIG SALT LIFE!
Thanks for reading “LITTLE THINGS BRING BIG MEMORIES”!
