Papa’s World – Surviving a WIDOW MAKER HEART ATTACK – 56 hours after open-heart surgery!

March 15, 2022February 18, 2022 / Tom / Leave a comment

All my life up to 16 years ago – I was a junk food addict!

I thought I was fit – playing sports until my late 40’s!

I ate all the time at McDonald’s – then something changed my life.

Sherry went to NBC for your health in Washington D.C.

I also went to the food court!

That is where she found a supplement that changed both our lives.

At first, I denied I needed it – then three months later I started to take it-

FRUITS AND VEGGIES AND BERRIES – JUICED – DRIED TO POWDER AND PUT IN CAPSULES!

NUTRIENTS OF 30 DIFFERENT KINDS EACH DAY!

It slowly over the years changed my life – I felt better – BUT – unknown to me – I had damaged my heart

from all those years ( 40 plus ) eating junk food and drinking cokes – mountain dew and gallons of milk.

I thought that was good for me.

EIGHT YEARS AFTER I STARTED ON THE SUPPLEMENT – I had a WIDOWMAKER HEART ATTACK!

FOUR ARTERIES INVOLVED – I almost did not make it!

I was rushed from work to the hospital where I had one artery 100 % blocked –

They put a stent in and the PAIN went away – but I was told I had three more that needed to be done!

It was too dangerous – I would have to have an open heart and four by-passes!

ONE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS!

All this time I never missed a day of my supplements – even when I went into the hospital.

Over 40 published types of research from major institutions from all over the world – convinced me that I was doing something right and not to give it up!

So – on a Monday morning – at 7:30 AM – they started – by 3:00 pm. they closed me up!

At 5:30 pm. they called my wife and daughters.

By 6:30 pm. I was standing!

I never went to the step down – I went straight to my room –

And I was told by the nurses and doctors I was the healthiest heart patient they had ever seen!

They wanted me to do an interview for some kind of research but I declined.

Here I am – 56 hours later standing in front of the Christmas tree – I was home!

I had a 100% – 90% – 60% and 40% blockages. I walked the halls in less than 20 hours –

Everyone told me they had no one like that – I went home and the other people who had surgery

that day were still in the step-down units.

Sherry and Papa – I had a nuke stress test late Jan. I passed with an excellent grade.

I just had all my blood tests – everything was very good – I STILL TAKE MY SUPPLEMENT

of 30 fruits – veggies and berries and now OMEGAS!

Sixteen years ago my life changed and in my mind and heart –

I believe – I am still here – and I STILL TAKE THOSE SUPPLEMENTS EVERY DAY!

Papa’s World – across the bridge – open air ! FOG !

August 20, 2021August 2, 2021 / Tom / Leave a comment

The high light of the ride on the open air top of the bus !

A ride at 45 MPH across the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE –

in the wet FOG !!!!

We were going right along – and it was chilly !

The fog had not lifted –

and there would be a stop

to get off if you wanted too.

The highway was full of palm trees –

Excitement as we neared

And then we were on the bridge

the fog was lifting

but it still was damp and cold !

We had done it –

on top of the World or so it seemed !

Put this on your list of things to do while in San Francisco!

And yes – while on our way to the bridge

twice we saw DRIVER LESS CARS !!!!

Today – a emotional journey into the past –

THE VIETNAM MEMORIAL –

Leaving the Lincoln Memorial and walking across the street –

past the little building selling items

in tribute to the WAR no one wanted !

The walk was quiet – people gathering – people taking pictures –

We all had classmates on THE WALL –

a very divisive time in our young lives –

our middle to late teens –

being told that we would be OVER THERE in High School!

My coach saying to us –

” YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING ” !!!

Living that for five years –

But for the grace of God – go I !

Jo Paul Sherry
capturing the name of a class mate

In my Senior year – I had a car accident –

I spent 51 days in the hospital –

not knowing if I would ever walk again

“BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD – GO I ”

We all had some one to find – to honor – say a prayer –

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

Papa’s World – more memories of the past six teen months – living life one day at a time.

May 12, 2021April 19, 2021 / Tom / Leave a comment

Before the Pandemic and while in Florida – met up with very old friends – Lynda and Fred – going back some 45 years!

I knew both before I met Sherry – Freddie and I went to 7th. grade thru 12th. grade.

We met at a place that was half way to where they live in Florida and to where we were staying!

Great time with old friends. MEMORIES!

We traveled before the Pandemic – meeting friends along the way.

And – – we were careful – as were some more friends we met.

Almost seven months after the start of the Pandemic – we met up with Pam and Bob – in Berkeley Springs WV.

Bobby and I go back to grade school – friends for life.

Sports – a few drinks – camping out – running the streets – never anything destructive – just boy hood memories.

By the time this blog posts – Pam and Bob will stop in on there way back to New England.

They have a drive RV towing a car.

We are all safe – testing and vaccinations.( except Sherry who is allergic to the vaccine)

It will be good to once again relive memories – Freddie – Bobbie and I had growing up!

Many memories – friends – family and life in general. The journey living life one day at a time.

John and Nancy – members and friends form our church – Community Lutheran Church in Sterling Va.

Fourteen years we attended services there.

John and Nancy moved to Charleston about a year before we moved.

On our way back from Florida – just before the Pandemic – we stopped in and stayed – regaling in memories.

They gave us a walking tour of Charleston’s waterfront and historic district.

A few months after we moved to Myrtle Beach area – we met halfway in Georgetown S.C.

And – about a month or so ago – they visited us at the condo.

Friends – MEMORIES!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

I will continue MEMORIES of the PAST SIXTEEN MONTHS in the following blog.

Papa’s World – walking the beach – no buildings here – just wide endless beach – Cherry Point!

April 12, 2021March 22, 2021 / Tom / Leave a comment

We decided for their last beach walk on a cold windy day –

to take them to the far end of Cherry Grove to a place the local’s call Cherry Point!

To get to the beach – you must park along the road and then walk through this covered path!

The path to the beach is overhanging tree limbs with lots of shrubs and bushes.

Once you walk through there – you are greeted to a wide expanse of beach to the left.

The right goes back toward the houses and pier.

The view to the left and almost low tide!

It was cold and windy – and we wanted to walk way out as it seemed at low tide you might be able to walk to the other shore.

Here you can see a few brave souls – walking – and the wind was really blowing!

Ella and Sarah – laughing and trying to stay warm in the blowing wind!

We walked maybe a half mile – and decided enough – it was just too cold and so windy!

One last picture with Ella – Debby Sherry and Sarah before heading back to the car.

I told Sherry – when it gets warmer and is low tide – we must come back and just see if we can walk across the bay!

April 7, 2021March 16, 2021 / Tom / Leave a comment

There is a place near the ICW – where there are hundreds of shells hanging from trees – each one is someones WISH!

We brought them – Debby – Sarah and Ella to Vareen’s Memorial Garden

Just as we did with their cousins – and here is a special place

to not wish upon a star – but a SEASHELL and the hang it form one of the Cypress Trees!

Sarah Sherry Ella Debby at the make a wish site.

Sarah’s hanging wishes for all her school friends!

The first make a wish tree – now there are many more!

Many people pass through here each day –

I watched two older women stop and do the same thing –

find a shell – write on it and then hang it from a tree!

Busy writing their names and making their wishes!

Debby’s shell – no matter how old you are – make a wish to come true!

Taylor’s shell in front of Ella’s shell – cousins!

It was a warm day – low tide so lots of shells to look at!

Sarah going to the ICW to look for shells.

Maya Olivia Kristie and CASSIDY’S make a wish seashell – our grand daughter!

We arrived – The Make A Wish Tree area –

along the ICW in Little River S.C.

at the Vereen Memorial Garden!

The girls were excited – because we told them – their cousins had been there

a couple weeks prior!

We showed them the sea shells they had made and signed!

So they went about finding shells!

They took their time – looking with the help of their parents and Sherry!

Now it was time!

Spread them out on the bench – string them – and write your wish!

Found the spot on the tree – where their cousins left their names and added theirs!

Papa’s World – COVID TEST – before we go back home! NEGATIVE!

January 18, 2021December 9, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

Social distance – being careful – getting ready to go home for Christmas – keeping the faith we are doing this right!

We have been walking – staying away from groups of people –

social distancing – knowing that we wanted to spend Christmas with the family!

We went on line – Sherry is the tech one –

and through CVS – set up our information –

scheduling a test time!

It was not that hard – and the CVS was maybe 3 miles away!

We drove to the CVS test site – we were the only ones their at our scheduled time!

We pulled up to the window much as you would for a bank –

The lady spoke through the window and asked for our insurance – medicare and ID.

We passed them through and she typed in all the information

and in the window drawer – she gave us back each a brown paper bag

with our cards inside plus the material we needed to swab our own nose!

In case we did not understand the written instructions and pictures on what to do –

She explained step by step as we went through the procedure!

It was not difficult at all and we did our own samples.

Just put the swab up as far as you can go and rotate for fifthteen seconds

as she counts off in each nostril!

No fuss – no mess – easy – a cave man could do it!

After we were done – the swab went into a sealed vial with liquid it it.

And put back into a sealed plastic bag with our information in there.

I then got out and deposited the two bags into a medical box –

wiped down the box with a sanitizing wipe they provided and drove off!

It was that easy and covered by our insurance.

We were each provided with our own personal site – to see the results!

Our tests came back in just two days and were on our own personal web address!

This was a relief as now we could journey home –

see our family for the holidays

knowing that we were Covid19 free!

2021 will be year number 15 in the formation of Team Generation!

Formed by a mother ( MORMOR – Swedish for Mothers-Mothers)

and her two daughters –

To bring health and nutrition into the families

It has prospered in that pursuit!

Today – we celebrate another year – one that we will never forget –

The COVID19 year!

Team Generations – the leaders at conference – wishing a Happy New Year – to those who could not be there!

HEALTH and NUTRITION – building ones immune system – being as healthy as you can –

a insurance policy to help combat a virus.

Not a cure – not a miracle –

but whole food nutrition –

the nutrients of food we eat –

good wholesome food!

The Pandemic is all around us – all around the World –

The abnormal has now become the Normal.

In Team Generations – the priority is eating healthy!

One family – one day at a time – one child – bringing health into their lives!

This at the best of times is very hard to do –

fast food – process food –

snacks – candy –

calories – fats – oils – carbs!

Celebrate – a way to combat – unhealthy living – in red – daughter Debby!

Conference – a way to learn – to talk – to listen – TEAM GENERATION !

Regional’s and semi yearly conferences – comparing notes and experiences.

Environmental concerns – health is all related!

A celebration of ideas – a way to communicate – living healthy – nutrition – lives – real food!

Papa’s World – The final walk and then goodbye – Jo & Paul

November 10, 2020September 23, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

It was both a happy and sad day – our final walk together –

and – this walk was on their bucket list –

for I had posted many times the pictures of Sherry and I walking this path.

They found it beautiful as we do

and requested that we walk along the creek !

It was a quiet morning –

a little cool – around 56 degrees –

but with lots of sunshine

and soon the jackets came off !

During the visit – Paul and I had discussions

the politics of the day

the discord and unending drama that happens each and every day.

I described to him my three critiques for every day –

One – post a smile

Two – post a good thought –

three No Politics !

And those are my rules I follow –

I also write about my life – family and friends –

and I try to do that daily –

I do this to capture my thoughts –

through pictures and words –

So after I am gone –

a record remains where friends and family can read –

where those memories are preserved –

We discussed stress – we discussed life –

We discussed life in general and living

We discussed how no matter what we post –

the only difference it makes is to our selves !

Change has to come from with in –

And no matter how we feel

we can not change someone else.

Today – we make a change by voting

and then vote again when it is time

Thank you for reading Papa’s World

Papa’s World – saying so long but not goodbye – THE TEAM

November 1, 2020September 15, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

She went to Bear Chase Brewery –

Team Generations leaders were there to honor her.

“MAMA BIRD” as she is called affectionately!

They all could not be there because they are spread out

up and down the EAST COAST!

That is what she has done as the leader of TEAM GENERATIONS!

Debby ( QMND) Julie ( QSC) Mandy ( QMND)

They came because in less than two weeks – we leave the area

To start a new journey – they did not say goodbye –

but in this NETWORK BUSINESS

They said “SO LONG UNTIL WE MEET UP AGAIN”!

Who lives in the Outer Banks –

somewhat close to where we are going

They ZOOM often – these team leaders

they lead by example – healthy living.

The leaders of TEAM GENERATIONS – because 15 years ago –

Sherry ( Mama Bird) said yes to the health and the Business.

Changing all these lives and their families.

Julie ( QSC) who has sold and installed over 100 Tower Gardens to schools

These ladies have promoted healthy eating and growing

ZOOM calls are now a major part of the internet business.

Stepping up to and beyond to bring health to families

and a way to supplement the income of their families

All from home – over the internet and phone.

That is why a GOODBYE is not needed

Just a SO LONG until next time.

Leading by example –

family – friends and healthy nutrition

The HOW – product – health in bottles. 30 fruits and vegetables.

Debby and her mother – forever grateful – bonded – over health and nutrition

Fifth teen years ago – saying “YES” to these has lead to below.

A simple YES led to this and beyond

leading and showing the way

Not saying GOODBYE

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN – A MEMORY FROM THE TEAM FOR ” MAMA BIRD “!

Papa’s World -The many faces of Juice Plus & Team Generations !

October 26, 2020September 11, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

The concept of Team Generations came 13 years ago –

That is when Sherry introduced Juice Plus to our daughters.

First was Tammy – who attended our first in house education

on Health and Nutrition with Pamela Sue –

one of two of our mentors – Sari being the other.

Pam is from the Big Island , HI.

Sari is from Atlanta Ga.

OMEGA’S GARDEN VINEYARD GARDEN
The four staples of Plant Based Nutrition
Tested FIVE times for pesticides
From growers monitored
by the
JUICE PLUS COMPANY
Now over 36 published researches
in Medical Journals
Tested by major institutions
all over the World

Tammy was always first and foremost a healthy eater

Shunning fast food – eating Natural and Organic.

She caught on right away and signed up

as both a customer and a partner in the

Juice Plus Company.

Today – all three children are Juice Plus babies

meaning in the womb – she took the Juice Plus

Thus the babies absorbed all that nutrition the whole time !

They were born early by choice – as Taylor was taking all the fluid

She was growing while Cassidy was not

So at 32 to 33 weeks –

they came into the World

They were small – barely over two pounds with Taylor 13 oz.more !

But – there were no problems – they were perfectly healthy

and today continue as Taylor being bigger

Cassidy is normal size

But I think Taylor is going to be like her MORMOR ( Sherry ) 5 ‘ 10 !!!

Debby ( eldest ) Sherry
She was suppose to be there
but her youngest became ill
and she had to turn around
and go back home

Debby was sad – she had missed the education

But in talking to Tammy and Sherry –

She just knew what a opportunity she had

in helping her entire family getting healthy.

They had so many doctor visits

being ill all the time

That had all changed in the first six months

they started the Juice Plus road to health.

Today – all three daughters and her husband & herself

Zero times to the doctor in the past 11 years for sickness

Taylor ( 9) & Sherry
Taylor is going to be tall
like her MORMOR
Swedish for Mother’s Mother

Today – Tammy is a Sales Coordinator –

while Debby is A QMND

Qualified National Marketing Director

Sherry is a Senior Sales Coordinator

All are living their dreams

Debby has passed her mother and is almost to the top as a NMD !

Debby has worked from home the last 11 years

Running her Juice Plus Business

While Sherry worked part time –

Debby did full time.

Sherry has retired early

and is full time in the Juice Plus Business

All three run the JPB from home.

No overhead

No inventory

And travel the Country every six months together

Promoting healthy change for family’s.

All this for a yearly fee of $50.00

You send in the order on your own website ( part of the fee)

The JP company packages-ships and collects the $$

from the customer and pays you a commission

and deposits it monthly into your own bank account.

Tammy has opened a second business

A high end Kids Consignment shop

while still running her Juice Plus Business

Today Sherry leads the team –

Called TEAM GENERATIONS

Named so that it stands for
Mothers – Daughters – grandchildren – great grand children.

As each Generation arrives

It is with the knowledge of adding insurance

in living healthy – as best we can.

With the research – we know we are on the right track.

A MOTHER AND TWO DAUGHTERS

have had a effect on hundreds of family’s

all over the country.

Helping people one day a time.

This day we were on our way for a appointment at 10:30 AM.

To tour the Capital building and see a session of Congress !

However – little did we know – that we would get caught in TRAFFIC !

What should of been a 30 minute drive with traffic to the Metro

turned into one and one half hours !

Only to find all parking garages were full as were the next two stations!

We then made our way thru more traffic nightmare

To the Tyson’s Corner Mall where we parked and took the Metro.

We had to call and see if we could reschedule the appointment –

And the moved it to 12:30 PM.

And the bathrooms were grand !

We booked not knowing exactly what we were getting !

We had pictures and reviews –

but you just never know !

Hall way entrance
laundry room
and then the door way
to our own suite !

We found out later that this whole community was built in 2018 !

So – it was almost brand new – and it showed that way !

Our own private suite
with a family room
and outside patio

I set up my computer in this room

and used the drawers and table top to “SPREAD” out !

Our bedroom with walk in closet
very comfortable bed

We had our own queen size bed with a foam mattress

on top of a pillow top –

very comfortable

plus a full walk in closet with another portion we didn’t even use !

Our bathroom had a walk in shower –

no tub but we do not use a tub anyways!

The bathroom had two doors – one from the family room !

Then – we had a entire floor above us !

We had a family room – kitchen – dinning room –

two bedrooms and two full bathrooms –

plus a outside covered patio

with chairs for coffee !

It was very comfortable watching TV or eating at the table

there were art pictures on every wall – paintings !

The third full bathroom
off the dinning room
and the third bed room

The third BR and Bath we did not use !

Then there was a master bedroom

bathroom and walk in closet !

Very comfortable and spacious

We were very happy

everything was just perfect !

Papa’s World – MIKUNI – SUSHI – best for last !

August 2, 2020July 20, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

The whole time we were out here – Sherry talked about SUSHI –

and how when she was here in April –

they has their team dinner at MIKUNI !!!!

She persisted and we made our last night in downtown Sacramento !

We decided to go back around 6:00 PM.

and made sure with a call we could get in !

So glad we did this

as it is the best I have ever had !

The easy part was eating –

the hard part was what were we going to order

and our waiter helped us immensely !

I am not one much for raw fish

so we ordered off the cooked menu

and mine was Lobster – crab and shrimp rolls !

All I can say is that there was nothing left !

It was that good –

It was a dining experience that night

and I am thankful we made it the highlight

of our dining for the ten days!

And we had a waiter that made it possible !

And yes – I used the chop sticks !!!!!!!

Papa’s World – second stop STERLING – NAPA VALLEY and then ” GOTTS ” !

July 31, 2020July 16, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

Our second and last wine tasting was at STERLING –

across the road and on top of a hill facing the castle !

Now – it was hard trying to select just where to go

after a 2 1/2 hour drive.

THERE ARE OVER 400 WINERIES IN NAPA VALLEY !

YES – a tram ride to the top and I do not like heights !

But I prevailed – fortified with Italian wine from the other winery !

You will be just fine

do not look down

keep your eyes straight ahead !

Then we arrived – some 3 to 5 hundred feet up !

Once there – I was okay

But I will be real –

I did not care for this wine

In fact after the second tasting

I just quit !

You had to walk a long ways between tastings !

Not quite sure what that was all about

But this was the jewel of the trip

as far as I was concerned

a open covered patio

with 360 degrees views !!!!

I was happy again

my two glasses

I saved them as I went

The last one was okay !

But – not something I would order

that is just me not being a wine drinker !

Time to go BACK DOWN !!!!!

Headed back to the bottom

and then we would start the return back to our base !

But we were told –

before we go back

you have to go to St. Helena’s

and experience

GOTTS !!!!!

Now -just think – 50 and 60’s

open air root beer stands

music – girls on roller skates

burgers and fries and hot dogs

This is that with out the girls on roller skates

but the burgers and fries are on steroids! ( really good )

This is a must if you are in Napa Valley !

The place was spotlessly clean !

And the back was full mowed grass – putting green style

With picnic tables ( lots )

and trees for shade !

and the burgers were right on – not greasy !

Papa’s World -wine tasting – NAPA VALLEY – 400 to choose

July 28, 2020July 13, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

And so it began – two hours – trying to pick out the stops –

We were going to NAPA VALLEY

a good two hour drive ( ended up closer to 2 1/2 hours )

CASTELLO di AMOROSA – fine ITALIAN WINE !

And – I LIKED IT !!!!

The first wine I have actually liked in a tasting ! ( all of them)

And a real castle – took 30 years in planning – 15 years to construct

and at 121,000 square feet – HUGE !

This is a replicate of a 1300 Moorish castle

I do not know the exact reason – other than it was a dream of the owner

But – you have to know – this is not a commercial wine

you can ONLY BUY IT HERE !

And it is all ITALIAN !!!!!

We choose the self guided tour !

Just the outside was worth the cost !

But it was time to do inside !

We could of chosen the wine tasting
in the Banquet Hall

But instead we went to the under ground tasting room !

We had a really good person who poured

in fact we paid for five

he gave us at least seven

and one was from a $300.00 bottle !!!!

The kind that he had to break the wax seal !

And so was Sherry and I !!!!!!
NOTE – I DRANK ALL OF MINE !

Now – normally I do not like wine

but – there was something about this ITALIAN WINE I LIKED !

Now -the only way to get them home

was to ship them

The bummer was that you had to select at least SIX bottles

before they would ship!

I did not like it that much ( $300.00 )

So – we toasted – marked it up to very enjoyable –

And made our way back out side

exploring as we went!

Our second stop on wine tasting

STERLING next blog – THANK YOU !!!

Papa’s World – MUIR’S FOREST – Part two

July 22, 2020July 11, 2020 / Tom / Leave a comment

As we walked among the giants – the peace and quiet became evident –

from watching the man push his wife up the path in a wheel chair

to the lady who quietly said ” Would you like for me to take your picture ” ?

And that is how we managed to have a picture

with all of us standing inside this huge Redwood tree !

And then the tree that I hid inside and peaked out –

I am told that the really big Redwoods are further North

Where you can drive a car through –

To think this tree is between 600 and 1600 years old !

And then we entered Cathedral Grove –

Instantly all was quiet

A church like atmosphere –

everyone was hushed at the grand gathering of trees !

Walking among them – looking up and then ahead –

taking in the beauty of these giants !

Solitude – walking – looking – admiring – in awe !

Our day was coming to a close –

after nearly two hours walking among the trees

Time to gather and have a quick lunch

Time to say goodbye to Muir Forest – home of the giant Redwoods !

Papa’s World – Running for Cancer and Health – Family

June 10, 2020May 26, 2020 / Tom / 4 Comments

Today it was run for cancer ” FAMILY STYLE ” MORMOR – daughter Tammy – son in law Marcus – Taylor – Cassidy and Bode all ran. The adults ran the Five K ( Sherry finished 3rd in her age group 60 to 69 !

MORMOR ( Sherry) finishing – the time is from the start of the front runners – her time was 40:43 !!!! 3.1 miles 3 out of 16 in her age group!

Marcus finished in 30:21 minutes – Tammy 35 minutes ! The three little ones ran a mile – after the 5K was over.

Tammy just before the finish and Cassidy cheering her on.

The mile for the kids – Cassidy finished toward the top after hanging back to be with Bode- Taylor took over and let Cassidy go !

Cassidy racing to the finish – she would of made top three had she not waited to be with Bode !

Taylor staying with Bode who is only four years old – being the big sister leader and protector!

It was truly a family run – running for a neighbor who is a survivor – running for themselves as healthy living – healthy eating and following their MORMOR on living life to the plus – teaching the rules of being health wary and eating properly.

All in all – a great morning outing – cold at 57 degrees with lots of gusting wind – around 700 runners – prizes – and the winner is Health – Nutrition and working for a cure for cancer.

Proud PAPA of this family – and also watching my grand daughters play soccer last night – but that is another blog !

Papa’s World – five and one half years – MPI TEST

January 26, 2020January 9, 2020 / Tom / 2 Comments

My heart attack occurred on 11-4-13 –

beginning a new life.

My last visit to my heart doctor –

He told me it was time to have Myocardial Perfusion Imaging test.

We would schedule it before my next appointment –

Yesterday – at 7:15 am. it began.

For the next 3 to 4 hours –

I was undergoing scans – injections –

Blood pressure readings –

treadmill and more injections and scans.

The injections were a Nuclear medicine –

to go into the heart through a IV –

and then 18 minutes of scanned picture taking while being absolutely still.

I was worried –

first – I do not like needles –

and to have something like that injected into your artery !!!

You sign a form –

some side effects may be HEART ATTACK or DEATH !

The TREAD MILL – I was all hooked up –

I had to hit a heart rate of 129 to 150 –

IT TOOK TEN MINUTES

and they increased the incline and speed every three minutes.

Had I been in a car instead of the tread mill –

I would of done just that !

I DO NOT RUN –

I DO NOT LIKE TO RUN –

I HURT MYSELF WHEN I RUN !

In the ten minutes I was on there –

I DID ONE MILE !

LORD HELP ME !!!

The last 2 .5 minutes were at a 4.2 minute mile !

I am 70 years old –

dancing is more my speed !

When I had cooled down –

she told me –

your treadmill for your age

IS VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT !!!!!

My prayers were answered –

I did not slip off –

I hung on –

And I finished it !

I had to go back a second time for a scan –

and then sit and wait.

Before I started – they told me –

if anything is wrong –

you will go upstairs

If it is all right – you go home –

I WENT HOME – all clear !

On the way home – they called me –

They had read the scans –

they could see the OLD HEART ATTACK –

THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENING !!

I was clear –

my cholesterol at my last test – 118 !!!!

WHY – WHAT -and HOW ?

WHY ?

My wife Sherry and following her schedule – and JUICE PLUS !

Those are my TWO REASONS WHY –

WHAT – healthy eating

and my supplement –

ORCHARD – GARDEN – VINEYARD and OMEGA’S

Five and one half years after my WIDOW MAKER –

I am clear –

I am me –

And that my friends is HOW I beat the odds !

I have friends out there

who have had HEART problems –

My advice –

find a partner to motivate you –

And then find a whole food supplement

with RESEARCH !

I found mine –

Papa’s World – Just another day in my life.

November 10, 2019October 30, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

Here it is almost 1/3 the way through November

The leaves are coming down –

it is chilly at night

and once again it is time to pull the flowers for storage.

I remember my youth –

Fall was hunting season –

I only ever shot one thing in my entire life.

A Rabbit – and it did not die right away –

instead dragged itself along the ground –

I stepped on its hind legs

and it screamed !

That was it for me –

no more hunting –

Sometimes you just
find a corner
and observe
what is happening
around you !

Fall also is the time you get ready to rake and rake

Bags of leaves to be picked up on Tuesday trash days.

That is the day they pick up yard waste.

I usually end up with at least twenty bags of leaves !

Fall’s in my youth –

riding my bike until early dark

sometimes neighbor hood KICK THE CAN !

The neighbor hood on North Main Street

was full of kids.

Games were every day or just hanging out.

The saw mill up the street with a huge pile of saw dust.

The apple trees and chucking apples at the train as it passed.

Sleeping out on the porch – going inside when it became too cold.

Walking down town to the Texaco to see who was hanging out !

Memories of the mind –

Sometimes you wonder

WHEN WILL I FORGET ?

Papa’s World – found a Natural way to health !

October 29, 2019October 26, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

We took a little trip to Winchester Va.

To meet up with our granddaughter & her mother

to celebrate the granddaughter’s birthday !

But first we had to stop at Linda’s business store

As we had something to give to her.

The business is Natural Health & Fitness Solutions – LLC.

This was a first for both of us

and I was very impressed as I looked around.

The hours are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY !

I actually looked at almost everything –

And I noticed some photo’s on the wall

Of before and after of some of her clients !

The pictures and numbers were remarkable –

INCHES AND POUNDS LOST –

One lady had lost 20 some inches and 112 lbs. !

I saw the focus being on WHOLE FOOD !

EXERCISE – and COACHING !

We – have tried to maintain this thought ourselves

and it is not easy

but then – HEALTH IS NOT EASY !

Papa’s World – when birthdays come in three’s

September 28, 2019September 21, 2019 / Tom / Leave a comment

Everyone celebrates their birthday on a special day !

It is very rare to celebrate your birthday with your child !

But – how rare is it to celebrate your birthday

with TWO of your children !!!

Taylor – Tammy – Cassidy
all share the same day
September 3rd.

Nine years ago the twins were born –

43 years ago – Tammy was born –

all on September 3 rd. !!!

The twins had to be delivered early

The doctor said Taylor was growing and Cassidy wasn’t !

And so it has been all their lives

They grow at the same pace now

Alike but different – same as their size –

one athletic ( Cassidy ) Gymnastics –

one who loves and rides horses ( Taylor )

both who adore their mother and MORMOR ( SHERRY ) Mothers mother !

Tammy – played basketball – soccer and in the marching band growing up !

Tammy in the marching band all those years ago

Today – she runs her own business –

Two of them actually

One Health and Nutrition

as a Sales Coordinator for the Juice Plus Company

Tammy at her own store
529kidsconsignloudoun

The other is her own store she opened up over a year ago !

A kids consignment

dealing in only upscale clothing ages 3 months to size 14 !

Her store is open six days a week and she has four part time employees !

So all have the same day as a birthday means days and days of celebrations

Mother and daughter so much alike!

Marcus – our son in law – daddy to the kids !

Cassidy -Tammy and Taylor
the birthday party at our house
and Bode’s hand

Fit bits from us
they were so excited
and wear them every day
trying to out do each other
in steps !!!!

The little guy
Bode watching
he and Cassidy
are two peas
in a pod !!!!

As the years pass – we have a door upstairs –

on the back of that door recorded with dates and names

are their heights and weight

both progress the same

from the 1 lb. 14 ozs. of Taylor at birth

and the 1lb. 2 ozs.of Cassidy at birth

it has not changed !
