Ella’s sisters – Maddy and Sarah at the graduation – hard to believe that come fall – Sarah is the only one left at home – she enters H.S, in the Fall and Maddy enters her Junior year and plays and starts soccer for Lynchburg University. She will play against Ella.
Ella’s number one fan – her nephew Bode who adores her – here he is wearing Ella’s old sweatshirt she gave him!
After the game – he ran to her and she picked him up – he adores her and she is so good to him. That is our Ella!
The Three Sisters – Maddy – Ella and Sarah.
Ella’s mother Debby – Ella – her best friend Olivia and her mother Amy – they have lived beside each other all their lives and the mothers are close friends. What also is unique – they have Sarah from Debby and Justin from Amy who are also the same age and in the same grade who are as close as Ella and Olivia.
Sarah and Justin – same age – same grade and close friends – neighbors for life.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY – FAMILY MEETS FRIENDS!

Three generations – Grandmother – granddaughter – daughter – granddaughter – health and nutrition.

SHERRY: CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH SSC The Juice Plus Company FOUNDER – TEAM GENERATIONS
Ella – our second oldest granddaughter – enrolling in Randolph College in Lynchburg Va.
We called her “TINY” as she was growing up –
Her father came up with that nickname –
Today she stands 5′ 8 1/2 ” –
Our little girl is all grown up!
Along with her entrance into the four year program – she will also play college soccer – being recruited – she had two schools to select from – and it just so happens to be cross town from the University of Lynchburg – where her sister starts on the soccer team there – and yes they will compete against one another!
Ella with her mother Debby – all three granddaughters are as tall or taller than their mother. Debby’s mother – Sherry – is 5′ 9″ – so they are most likely inheriting the Swedish genes from her.
It is a beautiful campus – nestled in the foothills surrounding Lynchburg.
The soccer field a easy walk from the dorms.
Ella with her father Mike.
She endured two injuries during her Middle school and H.S.
Both were broken bones in her feet.
One she was stepped on with a cleat
and the other she just landed wrong on it.
She lost two seasons of playing soccer
but when she did – was recruited by two different colleges.
Today she walks the path to her future!
Due to the Pandemic – her H.S. soccer season was moved from the fall to the spring.
She is about to begin playing –
Her travel soccer was played although the number of games reduced.
She competed and will move onto the next level in the Fall.
She would come down those stairs to say good night
give hugs and this would happen several times!
She was always asking when we would come back.
Bode – so much like Cassidy but all boy!
Every morning without fail
from 6 to 6:15 AM.
Down those stairs he would come or if I were on the front porch
climb up onto my lap.
” I LOVE YOU PAPA”!
As simple as that!
Taylor or “T” as I call her
so mature – so kind – who only wants to ride horses!
She takes lessons once a week –
She knows how to groom them and saddle them
how to clean their hooves.
“T” who just wants her ALONE time-
in her room reading or playing with her horses and lego’s!
WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER!
We spent almost three months with them
One time they spent a year with us.
Sherry is their “MORMOR”
Swedish for MOTHER’S MOTHER!
That is all they have ever called her.
Bode at five is now golfing with his daddy!“T” is so fast growing up!Cassidy is the one who teaches the others crafts – just as her MORMOR teaches others!Cassidy is her MORMOR’S SHADOW!
Yes – missing the three little ones
The older three are growing up
one in college – one about to graduate
and one who wants to be with grandma!
The three little ones – who are young enough
to see we are now at a distance and call all the time.
And then there is Tammy – their mother
who in all her life has never lived more that two hours away
