Papa’s World – Some humor and happy thoughts!

Smile – be happy!

When Sherry was finished with her rehab after falling off her bike and fracturing her pelvis-

The staff asked her what song she wanted played as she said goodbye to everyone.

“DON’T WORRY – BE HAPPY”! she replied.

And sure enough – when they pushed her through the hallways-

Over the loudspeakers –

“DON’T WORRY” played.

Everyone got into the mood and swayed down the hall, and folks came out of their offices and said goodbye!

That is customer service!

Sherry in her room before being discharged!

Both of us grew up in this era and are “HIPPIES” at heart.

Love – peace – gratitude – being thankful – helping others.

Sherry and her grandchildren and Tammy – youngest daughter.

FAMILY MAKES US HAPPY!

Papa’s World – Life as a senior.

Well, we have been retired for years.

We both have celebrated our 77th birthdays!

LIFE AS A SENIOR takes on a whole new meaning.

Little trips are now adventures for us.

We still golf and still walk.

Appointments are common occurrences, as are CALENDERS –

Both of us keep one to mark down dates of where, what, and when we have something coming up.

We look around and see how we live.

Family – church (nearby) –

Community – (A lot of caring friends)-

Warmer climate – (Hardly any snow or ice)-

Downsized our house – (all on one level)-

Close to shopping, beach, and entertainment!

Life in our SENIOR YEARS –

Means chill and take care of one another.

And to age as healthily as we can.

Here is what we have taken for twenty years,

Information: www.https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

For us, it is the simplest things in life-

Having the ability to walk in the sand and surf at the beach.

Warm climate – friends and family to share this with!

LIFE AS A SENIOR!

Watching the grandkids grow into adults!

Having them come for visits –

MORMOR – PAPA – GRANDMA and GRANDPA –

These are words of endearment to our ears.

Relaxing to the sound of the surf-

Birds and laughter –

Blue skies and soft white clouds!

LIFE AS A SENIOR!

Does this picture make you want to be there?

Well, it does me.

This is Sunset Beach, and at the far right upper side-

A very tall building sits there.

That is Ocean Isle Beach.

We live on the mainland and are about fifteen minutes to Sunset Beach –

And ten minutes to Ocean Isle Beach.

We had always dreamed of living in the South on the eastern shore of the Atlantic.

Today, that dream has come true.

Being seniors and long retired –

The FUN stage of our life is walking on the beach in the surf.

Or – going to Ferry Landing on OIB and watching the boats travel up and down the ICW!

Nothing exciting as in our younger years –

But a PLEASANT way of life for us.

All of the above!!!!

Inspiring lookout!

And then there is golf.

We play a couple of times a month –

Now mostly nine holes.

Just being out there is a FUN time for us!

On the tee box next to the ICW!

Golfing with friends Pam and Bob!

All part of our life in the Carolinas!

FRIENDS – DOTTIE – CINDY and SHERRY!

Fun times – pleasant memories – and full of laughs!

Thanks for reading my blogs.

LOL – PAPA’S WORLD-

PLEASANT – FUN and HUMOR!

Papa’s World – Remember when?

Papa and Sherry on our second trip to the Biltmore Estate.

We want to go back at Christmas time to see the decorations.

I am always amazed at the wealth these people had to build such an estate!

REMEMBER WHEN?

Pam and Bob –

Papa and Sherry-

Bob and I went to school together growing up in NWPA –

In a small town called Eldred.

We get together to play golf.

Their one-year lease is up soon, and they will be trying to decide where they want to retire.

But this past year has been fantastic because we have spent time together.

Often we converse – “REMEMBER WHEN”?

June 25th, 1982 –

The day we were married.

So long ago –

But has gone by so fast!

REMEMBER WHEN?

Our journey together –

Always looking and exploring!

Steelers fans and Bills fans.

A few years ago –

Both teams played one another.

So neighbors being neighbors –

Got together and watched the game.

THE BILLS MAFIA WON!!!!!

REMEMBER WHEN?

I have many of these types of balls out there!!!! LOL

Daughters and mother – BEACH TIME!

Debby and Tammy and Sherry!

Memorial Day – 2026 –

She fractured her Pelvis in two places.

She did not need surgery.

She recovered fast with rehab and PT!

After four and one-half weeks –

She was walking with a cane!

PAPA’S WORLD – “REMEMBER WHEN”?

Papa’s World – Good times in pictures and humor!

Sherry and I lived in Brambleton, VA, and in Fairfax, VA.

For almost 21 years!

During that time, we became Washington Nationals baseball fans!

Many times, we either drove into D.C. or took the Metro to see games at the stadium.

Even at first, RFK Stadium, when they first moved from Montreal!

They won it all in 2019 –

It was a special time in our lives in the D.C. area!

GOOD TIMES IN PICTURES AND HUMOR!

Our home at night with Christmas lights in Brambleton, VA, at the time we were and are now Nationals fans.

This was a two-story townhome –

3100 SF.

We built it as our “RETIREMENT” home and spent 14 1/2 years there!

But “STUFF” happens –

Namely, in 2020, the “PANDEMIC” hit!

Our 401K took a major hit-

But this home zoomed up in price, and we decided to “CASH” out!

We sold and moved South to OIB – Cameron Woods Community, where we built hopefully our last house!

Today we live here after downsizing to 1900 SF.

All on one level –

Four seasons, but warm most of the time.

The Ocean and beaches are but a few minutes away.

Entertainment and shopping are all minutes away.

Along the way, friends have also moved into the area or 40 minutes away.

Plus, old friends are nearby!

We golf and volunteer –

We have our new church, and this is where we are retired to.

Sometimes major developments cause changes in your life!

This is our case, and the door opened, and we went forth.

Our life today is standing on our front porch!

Life today – memories of yesteryear!

This has never changed for us-

When we were married all those years ago (6-25-1982) –

This was part of our vows together.

GOOD TIMES IN PICTURES AND HUMOR!

Today, our life together, but memories from the past bring us into the present!

Papa’s World – Our life – come along!

On our wedding day – 6-25-1982.

Our journey began by combining two families into one with four children.

Sherry has two daughters, and I have two sons.

The daughters lived with us, and my sons lived with their mother.

Those early years were spent traveling to sports events, activities, and taking children back and forth from ex-spouses.

Schools and churches –

We had no money and made do with what we could.

We lived way out in the country in the Portville, N.Y. school district.

It was a fun time – the driveway was 1/10th of a mile long!

In the winter after it was plowed –

A place to sled ride down the gentle grade.

I would hand-mow, and it took three days!

I would rest on day four and then start over again.

The next year, we purchased a ride mower from SEARS!

I could do the whole thing in four or five hours.

Looking back on fond memories of those early years.

I write these blogs because I want to exercise my brain and the memories I have in writing and pictures.

This is my journal on life.

It will be kept on WordPress on my blog site: PAPA’S WORLD – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog –

For the next generations to come and read, view, and remember the words, pictures, and memories!

Maddy – our oldest granddaughter –

On the day she graduated from the University of Lynchburg –

With a degree in Environmental Science.

Today, she works for a nationwide firm in her field!

OUR LIFE – COME ALONG!

A family celebration on the beach when Sherry and I turned 75 years old in 2024!

Here are the Myers and Krohn family.

Debby and Tammy –

Sherry’s two daughters, husbands and the six grandkids.

Five granddaughters and one grandson.

Family time spent together.

The families still live back in Va., where we moved from.

When we moved, we decided to settle a day’s drive from either family.

Today we visit back and forth!

My two sons still live back in NWPA, where they were raised-

But both have made trips down, and we have made trips back to see them.

FAMILY!

My oldest son, Troy, and his life partner, Andrea!

My two sons, Troy and Shawn.

Both still live back in NWPA!

Very proud of these two men.

FAMILY!

RETIRED now for years and years.

Our senior years are now in the N.C and S.C area.

We are close to the borders of both states.

Cameron Woods Community in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

OUR LIFE TOGETHER – 6-25-1982 to-

Now living life to the fullest!

And the twins are Sophomores in High School.

FAMILY HISTORY AND MEMORIES!

Sherry started her own internet business twenty years ago.

JUICE PLUS – A blend of 30 fruits, vegetables, and berries in a powder put into capsules.

When taken with liquid –

They dissolve and go immediately into the bloodstream.

Research proves the healthy effects of these capsules on your body.

There are two conventions a year –

One on the East Coast and one on the West Coast.

We have attended many and learned what over 40 published studies and research have proved for this supplement.

.For over twenty years –

This is what I take every day!

For more information: www.https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

In the late 80s to the mid 90s –

We were neighbors of Cindy and Buck in Pleasant Acres, Portville, N.Y.

They sold and moved to the Wilmington, N.C. area!

Today, we live about 38 miles from them in Cameron Woods Community, Ocean Isle Beach.

We have maintained best friends all these years and traveled the World with them and the country on trips!

Buck and Papa somewhere on the ICW!

Cindy and Sherry on the KINZUA VIADUCT in Mount Jewett, Pa.

This is the area that Sherry grew up in.

Our friends for many years!

Sherry, Ella, Maddy, Sarah, Debby, and Diane – our neighbor.

PAPA’S WORLD – FAMILY HISTORY AND MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – Memories – family and friends!

Debby, Tammy, and their mother, Sherry.

Daughters and mother forming a memory on the beach for years to come for the next generation!

My purpose for these blogs is to have a place for future generations to see and read about family and friends and our lives!

Our lives together began on 6-25-1982 when we were married-

But had dated a year and a half before that!

We combined two sets of children that day.

Her daughters and my sons.

Her daughters lived with us-

And my sons with their mother.

Those early years – we had no money, but we had family times!

My oldest son and his life partner – Andrea!

My youngest son and wife – Trisha!

Both daughters still live back in NVA –

And both sons still live back in the area they were raised in, NWPA!

FAMILY has always been important to us.

Our oldest friends since we were married-

Are Dottie and Cindy?

Here, the three of them pose much like the three musketeers!

To this day, we still try to get together every 4 to six months or sooner, as we are only 38 miles from Cindy!

FRIENDS are an important part of our lives together!

HEALTH AND NUTRITION are very important for us and have been for over twenty years.

This is our supplement of choice.

My oldest friend from childhood is Bobby, and his wife Pam.

Along with new friend Diane, who is our neighbor but also has a cottage on Ruchford Lake in WNY-

And knows our area well, where we were first married in Portville and Olean, N.Y.

Papa’s World – Positive writing blogs!

Being positive – helping – staying out of the political fray!

Being seniors,

Life now is even shorter.

Why waste time arguing with someone who will not change their minds?

My beliefs are mine,

And I will vote for those beliefs.

And then go on with our life together.

Time is not on our side!

I look around each day –

The sunrise or the sunset.

The storm clouds-

And then listening to the thunder and patter of rain.

Makes me sleepy!

Gratitude, we are where we are.

Blessed that we are still together and caring for one another.

The direction of our day –
Small trips –

Store – post office, or appointments.

The little things in life make me happy!

It has changed over the years –

Now, instead of black mulch,

Stones with a border.

But this glider and porch are my happy place.

A place to sit in the shade and watch the neighbors go by!

A wave of a hand –

And then wait for the next one.

Much as I did in my youth, sitting on our front porch-

On Main Street in Eldred, Pa.

That is where I got the happy memories that I have today, sitting here!

Sunset Beach and in the distance –

The high rise of Ocean Isle Beach!

These two beaches are our dreams!

We always wanted to be near the ocean,

And this is where we ended up!

But – in my life –

I have no regrets.

It has been a good life –

Family, work, and now retirement.

We grew up together in little Eldred, Pa.

Elementary – then 7 through 12th. grade –

And graduation.

We both went our separate ways –

But always maintained contact.

Now, we are well into our senior years.
Bobby and I are playing senior golf.

Once again,

The stories of youth and memories are regaled.

LIFE IS GOOD!

Troy is my oldest son and still lives near where he was raised in Eldred, Pa.

But his grandfather – my dad!

He could do the same thing, and he did while also being a supervisor for the South Penn Oil Company!

” A LOOK AROUND”!

Papa’s World – Carolina life after NVA!

May 2020 – during the pandemic – before we sold our home and moved to the Carolinas!

Here we are in the new Wegmans parking lot –

This store we watched being built, which was very close to where we lived in Fairfax, VA.

I would walk to a bench across the street and sit and watch the construction!

NVA was a very busy life.

The beltway around D.C.

We ended up moving a little bit further out behind the DULLES AIRPORT!

Our new neighborhood in Brambleton, Va. with 15 miles of walking trails.

Here we are walking around a small man-made lake.

We were just behind the DULLES AIRPORT, and planes were always flying in and out!

For 14 1/2 years, we watched this complete town being built-

From one elementary and one High School –

To multiple elementary and middle schools to FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS!

A quiet countryside farm area has become a completely new small city.

We watched it being built.

Walking our neighborhood in Brambleton, VA.

These three – where did we put the wine bottle!

SHERRY – CINDY and DOTTIE-

Friends for decades and decades!

In July, 2021, we moved into Cameron Woods Community, Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina!

Here is my view watching the houses being completed as construction moved down the street from our new home!

Our newly constructed home –

This would be our last move unless it is to assisted living.

We are in the Carolinas after living in Pa., NYS, and Va.

CAROLINA BLUE – endless skies, just a few miles to the ocean and beaches.

This is the life we always wanted.

It took a PANDEMIC to get us here.

We lost money in our 401K but gained in the housing market and sold.

CAROLINA BEACH LIFE!

CAROLINA LIFE AFTER NVA!

Papa’s World – In life, we live it one day at a time!

Good morning or whatever part of the day you read this.

As a senior well into our senior years-

We live each day to the plus.

Doesn’t matter what it is!

Simple trips to the store or doctor’s office.

Stopping at a big box store to find a little thing we might need.

Preparing for family or friends to visit.

Volunteering which we do.

All of a sudden –

Something happens to change that routine.

A unexpected fall from her bike!

As she was coming to a stop to get off –

Sherry lost her balance –

Over she went onto her left side!

She fractured her pelvis in two spots on that left side.

No – She will not give up!

She spent two days in the hospital –

Then seven days in rehab.

DETERMINED!!!!!

She has got this!

She went home and had excellent grades on her progress.

Now it is up to her with my help to progress!

Our daughter Debby came down!

Moral support and to help me.

Tammy could not come with three young children in school and her business to run.

But constant phone calls and facetimes were there daily!

Marcus and Tammy and Marley and the three kiddo’s!

The kids sent a card and flowers made out of pipe cleaners!

“WE LOVE YOU MORMOR”!

Which in Swedish Is MOTHERSMOTHER!

Our time together has always been these past 44 years plus-

TOGETHER as ONE!

This blog site represents that!

Its the simple things in life –

Now in our Senior years –

That trip to the doctor for follow up!

That walker and the road to Ferry Landing in OIB!

The ramp up to the deck at the Community Center on OIB –

To sit and just watch the beach, the ocean, and busy people!

This is our life in our Senior Years!

Life starts each day with the Simple Things!

She is healed and now we continue in living life one day at a time.

Papa’s World – Today – Yesterday’s memories!

Sherry is watching my brother, Roger –

Tee off at one of the courses in The Villages.

Shortly after we retired –

My brother, who was alone-

Wanted us to visit him and keep him company during the Winter months.

We did that for half a dozen years before he passed away.

Growing up, he was my hero.

Those years gave us both fond memories of him.

He wanted us to sell and move down with him full-time.

I still cherish these memories –

Great times – golfing and “HAPPY HOUR” with him.

The last winter we spent together!

I shall always cherish these times –

TODAY- YESTERDAY’S MEMORIES!

Trisha is married to my youngest son, Shawn-

Here with his older brother Troy!

They still live back in Pa. in the area they grew up!

All have visited at one time or another.

Looking forward to more visits!

TODAY – YESTERDAY’S MEMORIES!

Sherry – (MORMOR) – Swedish for MothersMother –

Youngest daughter Tammy and the three grandchildren-

Taylor – Bode and in front – Cassidy.

They have all visited numerous times since we moved to N.C.

Here we walk around the waterfront of Barefoot Landing in NMB!

TODAY – YESTERDAY’S MEMORIES!

A long time ago in Eldred, Pa.-

Where I grew up on North Main Street-

Pictured here is my niece – Terri-

Me in the middle, and my brother Mike.

Papa’s World – The next step!

It was toward the end of May –

Sherry told me she was going to ride her bike up to the clubhouse!

About five minutes went by, and my phone rang.

A male voice asked if I was Tom – I said yes- “Your wife has had an accident with her bike – can you come to the clubhouse”?

I jumped into the car and up the street.

There she was – in the parking lot – lying on her back beside her bike!

A man, a child, and a woman stood there and said she had fallen sideways and onto her left side.

As I kneeled down, I asked her if she had hit her head, and she said no.

We were able to get her up and seated sideways in the back seat.

The man said he would wheel the bike to our address and put it on the front porch.

We headed to the Emergency room at McLeod Hospital.

After X-rays and a CT scan –

She fractured her pelvis on the left side in two places-

But no surgery would be required.

Two days in the hospital, and she was transferred across the street to the Tides rehab center.

Here she has had to undergo extensive rehab and learn to walk again.

They have been wonderful.

As of this writing, she has been there for almost seven days.

We have faith and HOPE!

This is a setback as she is 77 years old.

But – thank goodness it could have been much worse.

We have been together for over 44 years, married for almost two years before that.

This has been the longest time we have been apart.

So – we progress to “THE NEXT STEP”!

Whatever is ahead –

We will face it together.

Papa’s World – Events in a lifetime!

July 2nd. 2021 –

After nine months of living in Ocean Keyes, North Myrtle Beach, S.C.

We moved into our home, which we had built in Cameron Woods Community, OIB! N.C.

Some 30 minutes from Ocean Keyes but in N.C.

The one requirement I had in this home –

Was a front porch with a covered, shaded glider.

Here you see that front porch and glider!

Today it is a bit different in the landscaping!

Gone is the mulch; in its place are stones, rocks, and border stones.

We did this to cut down on the weeding and how it enhances the property.

It still is my place to sit after all these years.

Saying hello or waving as neighbors go by.

This is one of the major events of our life together as most likely the last house we build.

Other than me trimming the plants and bushes –

We have a company come in and mow-trim -weed and feed the yard.

EVENTS IN A LIFETIME!

Papa is walking in our old neighborhood of Brambleton, VA.

Above are our growing systems of Tower Gardens –

We sold all except one, which we installed in July 2021 on our back patio here in Cameron Woods-

And it has been producing ever since.

We were one of the earliest to invest in the country in these home-growing systems.

We can grow anything that does not grow on a tree in this self-watering system.

Every couple of weeks – add tonic and nutrients –

Just water in the base and no dirt.

It grows about 30 % faster and has no pesticides!

For about fifteen years, we have been growing our own produce-

And now in N.C. –

We can grow outside all year long!

After starting in three to four weeks –

You can have salads every night!

We had five, and now we’re down to just one that feeds us every day!

THE TOWER GARDEN-

EVENTS IN A LIFETIME!

Sherry and Papa –

On our tour with friends in Northern California.

We have traveled the world with Buck and Cindy, who were our neighbors back in Portville, N.Y.

Sherry, Buck, and Cindy.

They live in Magnolia Greens just outside of Leland, N.C.

About 38 miles from us.

We often get together to golf, or just have dinner or see entertainment together.

We have had many traveling the road together worldwide!

Here we are in OHAU –

We rented a car and explored almost everywhere we could drive together.

Cindy and Buck are at Lake Tahoe with us.

Friends for decades and decades.

Many, many – LIFETIME IN EVENTS with them!

PAPA’S WORLD – VIBES – THOUGHTS – and MEMORIES!

Papa’s World- Humor – some thoughts and positivity!

Sherry and I sometimes watch a friend’s two Corgis!

Here is the smallest one named DAX!

He likes to sit by me as close as he can get.

He is the youngest of the two –

The other one is larger and named DUKE!

We take them for walks three times a day-

Feed them twice a day –

And sometimes just relax like here and sit and pet them.

They have gotten to know us quite well.

MY GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

POSITIVITY!!!!

Papa- ELLA, the second oldest granddaughter, and Sherry.

Here at sunset in our backyard.

She has graduated from college and is now teaching in school.

June 25th. 1982 – MARRIED!

Papa’s World – My blogs – sharing life about family-friends!

Papa – on the streets in either Norway, Sweden, or Denmark!

Not sure, as this was maybe 20 years ago!

I write these blogs as a journal to read by future generations.

Instead of photo albums –

They will have these blogs.

We made this trip with her mother and sister.

A ten-day trip covering 1400 miles by bus!

Sherry’s grandmother was born in Sweden.

It was a whirlwind trip –

Exciting and memorable.

Wish I had been better at labeling the picture of who, what, and where!

Sherry and I are in a Moroccan restaurant in Morocco!

We made the trip with Buck and Cindy to Spain.

And then an airboat ride across the short distance to Africa and Morocco.

It was an experience – not sure I would ever do that again!

Spain was great –

But they took our passports on the way over to Morocco-

And would not give them back until we returned!

We had a guide, and she did not seem to know what to do about it!

While in Morocco –

Cindy and I rode these camels.

Best advice – HANG ON TIGHT as they get up and down.

When they get up –

You are almost face down as they use their back legs to rise up!

And when they lay down –

It is the reverse.

I can now say I rode a camel – but never again! LOL

My blog as a journal continues –

Here, I believe we were in a restaurant after finding our rental house in Malaga, Spain.

This was at the bottom of the long drive up to the house that overlooked a golf course-

And from the rooftop terrace-

We could see in the distance –

THE ROCK OF GILBRALTOR!

Interesting – our luggage did not land with us, and we had to go back the next day to claim it!

This was before GPS, and our phones would not work over there.

We had map quests printed out and navigated our entire trip that way.

It was crazy, but a wonderful trip in which we did over a thousand miles of exploring.

Here I am standing on a Roman bridge over a 400 to 1000-foot drop into a chasm in RHONDA SPAIN!

This span is a couple of thousand years old, and I wonder just how they built it that long ago?

We were way up in the mountains and eventually made our way to a bull-fighting arena-

That was also very, very old!

Memories for this blog all those years ago.

NOTE: WE LOST OUR CAMERA AND PHOTOS on the way home in Philadelphia at the airport!

These are pictures Cindy took and sent us!

The supplements of our choice!

Thanks for reading my blogs for family and friends for generations to come to read and see!

Today we live in retirement at Cameron Woods Community in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

Our globe-trotting is likely over –

But our close friends Buck and Cindy live just 40 minutes away.

PAPA’S WORLD –

Thanks for reading!

As always – HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Papa’s World – Times with Family and Friends!

When Maddy and Ella played college soccer in Lynchburg, Va.-

Many times, we made trips there to watch them play.

Ella on the left and Maddy on the right during their pre-H.S. soccer days!

They both played on the same travel team when they were younger.

Both were midfielders.

In the picture on the right –

Ella in her uniform for Randolph College and Maddy in her uniform for The University of Lynchburg.

Both schools are in Lynchburg, VA.

Maddy is two years older than Ella-

And in this picture –

Both were captains for their teams.

We used to call Ella “tiny”!

But here she is, about 5’10 and Maddy 5’7!

Those are memorable years –

Times that are priceless to us.

Today – Maddy is an Environmental Specialist, and Ella is an Elementary teacher.

TIMES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

The youngest sister is Sarah –

On the right for her first day riding the bus and her first day of school.

On the left – graduating as a senior and today a Sophomore in College!

Here she is hugging her grandma, Sherry.

She has ended up as the tallest of the three girls.

Sherry is almost 5’10!

We do not know, as of now, what she will pursue in her career-

But she is very gifted as an artist and works many jobs to earn her way through school.

TIMES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

Ella, Maddy, and Sarah.

Time gone by –

Memories to reflect back on.

PRICELESS!

We have had a core group of friends since just before we were married on 6-25-1982.

Jim – Dottie – Sherry – Papa – Cindy and Buck.

We try to get together every four to six months at each other’s homes.

Today we all live in the state of N.C.

So it makes it easier to travel to each other’s homes.

Friends are a priceless commodity.

All are now retired and living as seniors.

Sherry and Papa.

Living life one day at a time!

In order for us as seniors to get all the nutritional value of the above –

We take a supplement known as Juice Plus.

Every day, we take in powdered form those nutrients that go directly into the bloodstream-

And we have for twenty years.

Papa’s World – Senior living!

Sherry and Papa – our life in our senior years –

This is what we dreamed of doing all those years ago.

Trying to remain active – volunteering –

Walking – taking in events and staying in contact with family and friends.

We are well past retirement and in our final senior years.

We have close friends –

But we have always done things together.

I am not much into involving myself with others when not in the company of Sherry.

That is just who I am.

Sherry likes to be involved in lunches, crafts, and meet-ups with lady friends.

That is just fine with me.

I use my time to read –

Write my blogs and do chores around the house or outside.

Opposites attract!

We enjoy settling down in the late afternoon –

Eat dinner and then watch our favorite series together.

During the Turtle Season – we are volunteers for the Protection of Sea Turtles-

We are on the beach from mid-May to the beginning of October.

Here I am talking to tourists and explaining what we do and why we do it!

You can see the Turtle ramp that extends to the water.

This is for the baby sea turtles to make it into the water when they hatch.

Our jobs are to keep people back –

And from picking up the little turtles.

To educate folks on the survival of the little turtles.

Only one in a thousand survives to adulthood.

It is a magical moment to see them scurry to the water –

And keep the people back and the children so that they can see this moment in nature.

These times are now part of our senior lives together.

Sherry is on the back patio with Ella to the left and her mother, Debby!

Ella has graduated from college and is teaching elementary children in Va.

Here – we have a fire in our Solo Fire pit!

LOL – I like “PBR”!

And down here –

You can get a bottle for less than $3.00!!!!

Which is good for me!!! LOL

We decided over twenty years ago to find a supplement to help us as we aged into our “SENIOR” years.

We found it in Juice Plus –

I swear by it!

If this interests you –

Sherry is a distributor and has her own website.

There you can at no obligation –

See and read the research on what it proves to do.

I truly believe in this –

Having had 13 years ago –

Open heart surgery –

I will always take this as long as I live.

Papa’s World – Life near the beaches!

For nine months in the Pandemic year of 2020 to 2021-

We had this view from our living room and master bedroom –

At Ocean Keyes in North Myrtle Beach, S.C.

A fourth-floor condo with two elevators right outside our door!

This was a large lake with 780 condos-

Six swimming pools and tennis courts.

A workout area and a half-mile walk to the BEACH!

It was three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

A kitchen, dining area, laundry, and living room.

The lanai was screened in and was across both the living room and the master bedroom.

A half-mile walk to NMB main street and all the entertainment and shopping!

BUT – although we loved it – we needed our own home with a garage and storage space.

The home we had built in Cameron Woods Community, some sixteen miles from the condo, but in N.C.

And the garage we wanted.

Here it is, full after we moved “STUFF” from our storage unit!

Later, we arranged everything –

It has overhead storage with a drop-down ladder and covered flooring!

However, after three years of moving Christmas storage tubs up and down the ladder –

We only store what we seldom use up there.

As seniors, it became more and more difficult to move stuff up and down the ladder!

For resale, it is a great selling point to have that additional storage!

But, hopefully, that is down the road.

Papa is at the entrance to our community.

From here, we have access to three beaches –

Plus two more –

Oak Island and North Myrtle Beach-

All within ten to forty-five minutes!

Our happy place is beach walking.

We can now do this every day if we want to.

Just driving over the two causeway bridges –

Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach –

We can be on the sand or walkways in ten to fifteen minutes.

Just sitting on the benches, smelling the salt air and listening to the sounds of the birds and surf.

THIS IS “LIFE NEAR THE BEACHES”!

It has been five years since we moved into our new home.

Today we have all the landscaping done –

We contract out the upkeep of the lawn –

Mowing – trimming – (I trim the bushes and trees)

Aerating and composting –

Weed and feed.

We sold all of our outdoor lawn maintenance when we sold our house in NVA!

We are happy living the dreams we have always had.

Maintaining our health as we age into Senior Living at the beach.

To help maintain the “EDGE” in retirement and senior aging and living-

We have taken these supplements for over twenty years.

Left to right-

Nutrients in powdered form – and Gummies if you have problems swallowing capsules!

Proven to go immediately into your bloodstream-

BERRIES – FRUITS – VEGETABLES –

And the Orange are OMEGAS –

Made from ALGAE and not Fish oil.

THIRTY fruits – berries and vegetables.

OMEGAS – 3,5,6,7 and 9!

I do not like the FISH taste of Omegas –

These taste like cream sicles if you bite into them.

If any of this interests you –

Sherry has been a distributor for over twenty years.

The following is her website-

No obligation – email and phone number included if you so choose to contact.

Or you can just order what you want in four-month supplies ( it takes over 90 days to change your cells!)

Cindy and Buck!

Our neighbors in the late 80’s until they moved to N.C. in the mid 90’s.

But – we stayed in contact and visited back and forth –

Plus, we have traveled the world with them on vacations!

Today, we all live “THE LIFE IN SENIOR WORLD”!

Next is Ingrid and Les.

While we have not known Ingrid as long as Les-

He played softball with me back in Eldred in the mid – 70’s!

We have stayed in touch all these years and periodically see one another.

They are now full-time RV’ERS!

Every other year, they swing by to see us!

FRIENDS – BUT LIFE IN OUR SENIOR WORLD!

Next on the left side, Pam and Bob!

They have been married for 21 years.

Bob is my oldest friend.

We grew up together in Eldred, Pa.

Grade school and High School –

Sports and staying at each other’s homes.

Today they are resting in a rental near us after 6 1/2 years traveling the country in an RV!

They are trying to find out if they should sell their condo in N.H. –

And like this area, but also if 6 1/2 years of RVING is enough!

Time will tell –

But for now – FRIENDS IN SENIOR WORLD!

Debby – Jim and Dottie – Cindy – Sherry and Buck and Papa.

Close friends and now all retired seniors!

To have these friendships –

Jim and Dottie, I grew up in Eldred, Pa.

To have these friends is a blessing to us.

Debby is a friend of Jim and Dottie, and we have gotten to know her.

All of us are retired and are FRIENDS IN THE SENIOR WORLD!

Good day, everyone – WELCOME to Papa’s World.

A place for positive writing!

This site is my journal on life for our family of generations to come-

To see who we are – where we have lived-

And how we were married in June of 1982 –

Combined two sets of children into the family we have today!

June 25th, 1982 – our wedding day!

Now, all those children are on their own with children of their own.

Someday, there will be grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We will be gone –

But this journal and the many blogs will show how we lived and what we lived for.

FAMILY – FRIENDS and positive writings to pass down to generations to come.

Our life together has traveled the road to where we have ended up-

Cameron Woods Community –

In Ocean Isle Beach!

Sherry – standing on Sunset Beach –

The other beach we are close to.

Sherry on our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic!

We were supposed to go to the Bahamas-

But the travel agency called and said the resort was under renovation!

They gave us a Jack Tar Village and all-inclusive as a second choice.

The first one was not all-inclusive.

We had such a good time, and it was the first time being out of the country for both of us.

LOL – that will never happen for me!

Our front porch –

My “HAPPY” place to sit and watch folks go by!

Today, we are well into our senior lives!

Hello everyone –

This is Papa and Sherry.

For the second time for both of us –

We were married on 6-25-1982!

Our wedding day all those years ago.

We keep the positives in our lives together.

Raising two sets of children –

And now we live near Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach in N.C.

We hit a lot of dirt paths in those early years.

We had no money, but we made do with what we had.

LOL – later – after the children were all gone –

We took up golf together.

Another positive in our lives.

Twenty years ago –

We came across a supplement that we both started taking to age healthily.

Papa’s World – The life we live!

Sherry and I have always lived our lives to protect the environment and help others when we can.

Almost everywhere we have lives –

We have planted “TREES”!

We live for our families, our church, and the life we have chosen in this turmoil in everyday life.

It makes me sad to see what is happening now in this world.

Life now is a road full of pitfalls.

But life to us is also full of volunteering –

Trying to help where we can.

About two miles from the Sunset Beach Pier toward the SE –

Sits a mailbox that has been there for over four decades!

This is a place of solitude-

A place to sit and gaze out over the ocean or over the dunes and marshlands.


“THE KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX,” as it is called.

A journal is placed within with a pen or pencil

You are encouraged to write –

Leave a message or just a thought!

It is monitored daily and removed and replaced when full.

Years and years worth of journals.

I am not sure, but I have heard they are preserved at a university.

After decades and decades, it is still there.

A peaceful setting still preserved, and our kind of thoughts –

This is what we live our lives for.

We choose our lifestyle –

One of hope and helping!

Not everyone understands this –

But we are what we are.

We are stronger together for this.

Sherry – in the rising of the sun on the shore of OIB.

I hope this blog explains how we feel and think.

We all grew up in Eldred, Pa.

Cindy knew Jim and Dottie before we were introduced to her and her husband, Buck, by Dottie and Jim.

This was all in the early and mid-80s.

We raised our children together –

Took vacations and traveled the world together.

Today, we still meet up several times a year, and we live 38 miles from Cindy and Buck!

TOGETHER – LIFE and FUN!

Cindy – Buck and Sherry –

Last year, on a trip to Florida with them.

The six of us are watching a Buffalo Bills game together.

TOGETHER – LIFE and FUN!

Before they could walk –

Tammy and Marcus with Taylor and Cassidy – THE TWINS!

Today – Taylor on the left and Cassidy on the right with Tammy!

They are now Sophomores in H.S.

Each is their own individual.

Cassidy does competitive cheerleading –

And H.S. cheer.

Taylor plays the violin and rides horses.

Cassidy chose not to continue the violin, and she was first chair.

Taylor sings and composes her own songs!

The twins are different –

But if I hear them talk when out of sight-

It is hard for me to tell who is who!

The same but so different.

Papa’s World – Carolina living!

Papa at the entrance to our community!

Carolina living is now our home –

And the climate is a major factor in the “WHY” we moved here.

An early view from our front porch, soon after we moved in.

You can see the house directly across from us is still under construction!

A lot of the houses in and around us –

Are second homes!

We have nine close to us!

Which means we see the occupants maybe monthly!

Our lawn in the backyard butts up against a protective area and forest.

Which means no one will build there!

In landscaping, we have installed two Crepe Myrtles and three palm trees!

And extended the stone landscaping around the entire house.

We now have an enclosed lanai –

With a space heater, you can sit out there in the dead of winter.

Sherry has plants and flowers out there year-round.

We have the outdoor patio that has seating for four –

And room for a Solo Fire Pit and more seating!

The screened-in room has been fitted with material that makes it water and pollen-proof!

Sherry said in the beginning –

I WANT AN OFFICE FOR BOTH OF US!

Well – this is what we ended up with!

French glass doors to shut off the sound!

Also, we put a queen-sized blow-up mattress in here for grandkids and company if we have a lot of people!

It makes for an additional sleeping room with shades to cover the glass windows.

CAROINA LIVING!

Here is how we get all of the above each day!

Also, each day, building our IMMUNE systems.

Today, the stone landscaping goes all around the house!

My comfort zone on the front porch glider!

Papa’s World – BEACH LIFE!

A sand maze in NMB!

We took the three youngest grandkids here –

So they could see and try to solve one of the two sand mazes on this beach.

In the middle is Bode trying to work his way through!

If you want to entertain your kids –

They will spend quite a long time trying to find the way through!

Just a small part of BEACH LIFE!

When we can not eat all those fruits and vegetables raw-

We are taking the nutrients every day that research shows go directly into the bloodstream!

For twenty years, we have followed this plan.

Each day we consume the nutrients of 30 fruits, berries, and vegetables.

Here we are drinking some Fireball shots-

While parking the Kayaks –

And standing on a sandbar with our dear friends Pam and Bob!

Yes – there were small crabs, but it was an experience!

ANOTHER PART OF BEACH LIFE!

Family comes to visit –

Standing on the grass before the marsh and the sunset –

On the church grounds on the island of OIB!

Part of BEACH LIFE!

Being so close –

We can make this an everyday walk if we so wish.

We have bought a parking pass for the last two seasons since they installed paid parking –

On both Sunset and Ocean Isle Beach.

All part of BEACH LIFE!

Now in our fourth season of volunteering for the Protection of Sea Turtles –

We are on the island almost every day from mid-May to mid-October.

This has ingrained us into community living on BEACH LIFE!

A little grill is the perfect place on the island to grab a coffee or tea and watch the boats come and go at the marina!

59 CAUSEWAY GRILL!

Part of our BEACH LIFE!

BEACH LIFE – OCEAN ISLE BEACH!

This is the main part, as soon as you cross the bridge,

The parking lot at the bottom is where we have a season pass to park.

Where every Friday night from mid-May to early September –

Are free open-air concerts with live Carolina Beach Bands and music!

All are open to tourists and the locals for free!

Papa’s World – The days in our life!

The days in our lives are filled with memories!

These two are my longest two friends –

Jimmy, who grew up in the same little town as I did-

Eldred, Pa.

We played softball together and worked together.

Buck – who knew Jimmy –

Lived across the street from us in Pleasant Acres Drive –

Portville, N.Y.

So, for decades and decades, we have remained friends along with our wives –

Sherry – Cindy and Dottie!

We try to get together three or four times a year.

Thus, they have become a part of the days of our lives.

Sherry is standing on the sidewalk in front of our home –

In Brambleton, Va.

Pointing at the blooms on the Crepe Myrtle that on my hands and knees –

I dug and planted along with two others!

Those were the times I still could get up and down from the ground! LOL

I have always loved Crepe Myrtles and had two put into the back yard here in Cameron Woods Community!

They have become PART OF the DAYS OF OUR LIVES!

Ronny Cox on the right –

Movie and TV star –

His first claim to fame was his role in Deliverance!

We hosted him overnight in our house in Brambleton, VA.

Before his performance, he sat with us for two hours at our breakfast table-

Telling us story after story about his career in over 150 movies and TV shows he had been on.

This was truly a PART OF THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES!

Building our IMMUNE systems has been a part of our lives for over twenty years!

She has guided me and been my best friend.

Our life together has been a ride –

Ups and downs, but always steady.

She is the leader of the family – Called grandma by the older grandkids –

And “MORMOR” by the younger grandkids –

Which is Swedish for “MOTHERSMOTHER”!

Except for Sarah, who has adopted “MORMOR” from her younger cousins!

Papa’s World – Happy 4th of July!

A view from Ocean Isle Beach of the fireworks at the pier on the 4th of July!

July – 2024 – the week of the 4th.

Our family all stayed in a beach house to celebrate both of our 75th birthdays that year.

We have led our lives to this standard.

Here, the grandkids celebrate the 4th. with sparklers.

Anything more than that is not allowed on the island!

The island has a parade attended by thousands.

We all went, and our friend Jim invited us to use his side yard to park –

And set up chairs on the sidewalk in front of his home.

Here we are with Sherry’s sister and part of her family-

Standing in the side yard of Jim’s lot.

The whole week was excellent, and we hope to one day do it again.

Papa’s World – One day at a time-LIFE!

In 2013, I had a severe heart attack-

They rushed me to the heart hospital and put a stent in –

However, I needed three more!

The next day, they came into my room and told me they could not put them in!

Because where they were –

It would be too dangerous, and I might die! Therefore, I had to have open heart surgery –

And the three bypasses plus the stent they put in!

That was the day I started living my LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Today – I still view my life that way –

And I consider myself fortunate to be here.

Every day I count my blessings –

I am here to enjoy that day!

When the opportunity came to move South-

And be near beaches and golf –

Sunshine, sand, and surf-

We both agreed this was a dream we had and now would come true!

I still take this supplement every day –

I believe in it and have read the research.

Papa’s World – Looking around – LIFE!

Back in October 2020, we moved into a condo in Ocean Keyes, NMB, S.C.

Tammy and the three youngest grandkids were the first to visit us.

We were a half-mile walk through the development to the nearest beach entrance.

There were 780 condos here, and most were second homes or rentals.

Here, you see Sherry Bode and Cassidy walking to the beach.

It was a quiet walk, and the lake was to their left.

You could also walk directly to Main Street in North Myrtle Beach.

At night –

On our large screened-in lanai on the fourth floor overlooking the lake-

You could hear the music from the clubs on Main Street.

We spent nine months here, and it was a time I shall always remember –

It was like a nine-month vacation until our house was completed.

LOO)KING AROUND- LIFE!

OH to have this moment in time back – The twins and Bode!

When they were little before the pandemic, and they moved –

We had them at our home almost every day.

This is but one of those precious moments in time!

LOOKING AROUND – LIFE!

The view from the lanai at our fourth-floor condo in Ocean Keyes – NMB!

There were a total of six fountains – here you only see three.

This was an old golf course called the OLD GATOR HOLE!

Many great times we had in the nine months we leased here.

LOOKING AROUND – LIFE!

Taylor last year in her performance of SOMETHINGS ROTTEN!

She can play the violin, guitar, and Piano.

She has composed and sung several songs, and her favorite pastime is riding and caring for horses.

Taylor is riding a horse.

Papa’s World – FAMILY GOOD TIMES!

Family has always been important to us.

Getting together – special events – vacations.

When we built our house –

We had this in mind.

To be sure, we had room for ten plus ourselves.

We pull out a single bed to a queen pull-out couch –

To blow up a queen mattress for the office –

Plus the couch – we have the room for twelve.

The downside is only two bathrooms –

Wish we had thought of that when selecting upgrades.

Everyone is here except Mike, Maddy, and Kendrick (Engaged to marry Maddy)!

Ella, Papa, Sarah, Sherry, and Debby!

The Myers family.

Cassidy, Bode, Sherry, Taylor, Tammy, and Marcus.

The Krohn family –

Family is important!

Tro, Andrea, Sherry, Trisha, Shawn, and Autum-

FAMILY IS IMPORTANT!

Relaxing on the beach –

The destination for family at the end of a long drive!

Our dream was to have all of this available when they visit, along with our friends!

Papa’s World – Humor – Fun and Good thoughts!

My GOOD THOUGHT for the day!

FUN is when you spend time with long-time friends!

Here – Buck and Cindy, Sherry, and I golf together!

For years and years, we played guys vs. gals.

But they got better, and we got worse, so we play a scramble with all four of us now!

But the most important part for me –

Is being together with friends for over four decades!

Friendships are important to us into our senior years.

FUN- HUMOR and GOOD THOUGHTS!

Papa and Sherry on one of our volunteer walks on the East end of Ocean Isle Beach for the Protection of Sea Turtles!

While we walk one mile each way, looking for any turtles crawled during the night to lay eggs-

We also pick up garbage along the way, and pictures are taken to document for the N.C. wildlife!

OUR GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

My good thought!

My family FUN picture –

This is Debby and Mike – the oldest daughter and her husband –

And their three daughters- L to R – Maddy – Environmental Science degree and working in that field, the oldest.

Then, Ella, who graduated with a degree in Physical Education for school children, is working in the school system.

And Sarah, the youngest, has just completed her freshman year of college.

This picture is their happy place for every year of their lives –

In the Andrirondics at Raquet Lake.

They vacation there every year and have a family cottage.

Ppa’s World – Growing old together.

June 25th. 1982 – our wedding day.

Now – 44 years have passed –

We truly are growing old together.

The years have passed, and today we live in N.C. at Cameron Woods Community, Ocean Isle Beach.

We decided to move South for a warmer climate –

Especially during the winter months.

The move was necessitated by the 2020 Pandemic-

The fall of the 401K’s and the increase in the housing market.

It worked out for us to sell our longtime retirement home –

Leave an expensive living area –

And settle near three beaches.

The selling of the home in NVA –

Allowed us to build in N.C. at a fraction of the price it would be in NVA!

We built this home for the family to visit –

Friends to gather –

And the climate that-

We would spend our senior years.

Our life here has changed us –

We now golf more –

Walk the beach –

And are involved in the Protection for Sea Turtles, now in our fourth season.

Here we are with the “TURTLE” group of volunteers –

We are the oldest here in this picture- 77 years old!

There are around 100 volunteers.

This day,

We volunteered to pick up trash in an assigned area of Ocean Isle Beach!

We have reseyt our lives down here.

Our granddaughter, Taylor, will be an intern in August for two weeks.

She reached out after remembering a presentation two years ago.

Those two weeks will be spent on all phases of the program, and we must accompany her at all times!

Taylor had her first date for homecoming as a Freshman.

She is as tall as Sherry –

And Tammy is about 5’6″.

She is an A+ student –

And has arranged most of this on her own.

Our life has been for the past twenty-plus years –

To age healthily into our senior years.

We have done this by taking a health supplement for all that time.

We are active for seniors.

We build our IMMUNE SYSTEMS and get nutrients from 30 fruits, vegetables, and berries –

Directly into the bloodstream, backed by over 40 research programs.

PAPA’S WORLD – GROWING OLD TOGETHER.

Papa’s World – Intentions – Kindness – Helping!

I guess growing up, I had some of those “WILD” moments –

Nothing serious – Sleeping out – campfire or sneaking a bottle of beer.

Raiding gardens – roaming the streets after curfew!

Just normal teenage stuff.

But my early years were formed by my grandma!

She had eleven children, and she was the kindest person I ever knew in my young life!

When I was born, her children had already left the nest and had their own families.

My grandfather was a big man – and he died before I was born.

From the stories passed down –

He, too, was filled with kindness.

He was a farmer and during the Depression –

He fed his neighbors from his farm.

Often carrying provisions to them.

He did not have to do this and had eleven children to support.

But – that is who he was.

My middle name, David, is after him.

I never knew him-

I only knew what he looked like from pictures.

My grandma was Pa. Dutch –

And he was descended from the Irish.

KINDNESS – I have always felt that to help one another –

To offer a hand and not expect any return –

Only THANKS!

That is why we volunteer so much.

Sherry is kind –

Always helping others.

Our life together is looking toward those we can help when we can.

Giving when we can –

It makes me sad to see what is happening to our country –

Our God is a just God –

Our religion follows the teachings of Jesus.

In church, we are quiet and sing the songs together.

Communion – praying for the world in general.

Either one of us is the one to express our joy in shouting –

But in silent prayer.

This is who we are –

We have Family, Church, Friends, and Community.

Our vow when we married on 6-25-1982 –

Was to love and cherish one another.

We have kept that vow all these years.

My mother was the same as her mother –

She and Grandma were so much alike.

Kind, gentle, and well-liked.

Grandma was 85 when she passed away –

And mom was almost 98 when she died.

My father died at 59 from cancer caused by smoking.

And his parents lived well into their 80’s and 90’s.

YES – I HAD SOME WILD TIMES GROWING UP!

But – really, only what a country boy experienced.

LIFE TOGETHER AND DREAMS!

Papa’s World – Memories from the past.

My late brother kept this article from the magazine in The Villages.

In his later years, before he passed away –

We would leave NVA and travel to Florida to his home in The Villages.

We would spend six to eight weeks with him as he was all alone.

He asked us numerous times to sell our home and move into his house with him.

We just could not do this at that time.

This picture was taken by a journalist who worked for the magazine while we were down there the previous winter.

He would show all his friends that his brother and sister-in-law made the “PRESS”! LOL

Many fond memories of the times we spent with him in his years after his wife passed away.

MEMORIES FROM THE PAST!

The two days we had continuous snow back in Brambleton, VA.

We lived just behind the Dulles International Airport outside Washington, D.C.

They recorded 48 inches in less than 48 hours!

Here is our enclosed patio, and the snow accumulated up past the windows!

We lived for 50 years in NWPA and WNY and never experienced anything like this.

We were supposed to leave for Florida to see my brother in a couple of days-

And we had to wait a week for the roads to be cleared.

And then it was only one lane in each direction!

It was pretty, but way too much!

MEMORIES FROM THE PAST!

Cindy – Sherry and Dottie – FRIENDS and best BUDS for decades and decades.

Along with Buck, Jim, and Papa.

All of them from back in NWPA and WNY, and always maintained these friendships over the years!

MEMORIES FROM THE PAST!

Enhancing your IMMUNE system with fruits – Vegetables, Berries, and Omegas from Algae, not fish oil!

No obligation and information on the following website: www.https://sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

After retirement and into our senior years ( which we are now well into) –

We wanted to golf!

Not all the time –

But every couple of weeks.

We mostly golf with friends we have made or are long-time friends!

Now – today – living in Cameron Woods Community-

We are right in the middle of over 30 golf courses.

We mostly just play nine holes now –

Maybe dinner or just go home. MEMORIES FROM THE PAST and into the present.

On Sunset Beach – a mile and a half walk from the last entrance to the beach-

Sits a mailbox called THE KINDRED SPIRIT!

Placed here four or five decades ago-

By two hippies who carried everything down the beach to install!

Over the years, it has been replaced and modified into a memorial to those two peace-minded spirits!

A journal is left inside and a pen to write your thoughts, prayers, or whatever comes across you mind.

A peaceful place to sit and watch the waves come in or gaze out to sea or over your shoulder-

The marsh and Cherry Point are in the distance from North Myrtle Beach.

A place to gather your thoughts and think back to the two hippies who thought to place this here!

Many PAST MEMORIES are here in this place!

There were times when we walked the beach and the streets –

Nobody was present!

You can see here how deserted the street is!

This is Main Street, just off the ARCH to the beach.

The stores were open, but no customers.

A MEMORY OF A LIFETIME!

Thank you for reading my blogs!

PAPA’S WORLD – LIFETIME OF MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – Life together.

We both believe this –

Volunteering and helping others.

We volunteer for the Protection of Sea Turtles – (yes, they are on the endangered species list).

We volunteer at our church,

Saint Lukes Lutherean Chrch –

For the Lord’s Food Pantry, the second Saturday of every month.

Numerous churches in our area run this food pantry.

THIS IS PART OF OUR LIFE TOGETHER.

We are now way past midlife and way into our senior years!

But – we have each other.

We are settled in our home –

We know the funeral plans.

We will stay here as long as we are capable.

THIS IS PART OF OUR LIFE TOGETHER!

We have explored the World –

We have moved so many times-

We have built three houses-

We are in a climate that we like for all seasons.

Travel abroad is most likely done for us.

Driving long distances is becoming harder.

We are happy with our lives now.

We still watch and communicate with family from afar.

THIS IS NOW OUR SENIOR LIFE TOGETHER!

Together for the last twenty-plus years –

We have taken this supplement.

Our health is a priority for us.

Friendships that have lasted decades.

This is our life in the senior years!

OUR SENIOR LIFE TOGETHER!

Papa’s World – Always Thankful!!!

Every day I wake up is one more day for me!

When you have a life-changing event –

You count your blessings, and for me –

Learn how to live life one day at a time.

LOL – as a senior, you get used to this!

Also, the support of walls, doors, and handrails while dressing! LOL

As the years go by –

We are grateful that we can still depend on one another in our senior years together!

The smiles – the youth are remembered in this picture.

Our three oldest granddaughters!

Ella – Maddy and Sarah.

Today, Ella has graduated from college and is teaching PhysEd to little children!

Maddy has graduated from college with an Environmental Science degree and is working for a huge Environmental firm.

And Sarah has finished her Freshman year of college!

MANY MEMORIES in this picture-

ALWAYS THANKFUL!

Our longtime friends from back in WNY and NWPA!

Buck – Cindy – Jim – Papa and Sherry.

Dottie is missing. She is married to Jim.

Decades and decades are here.

Today, we all live in N.C.

Still – get together.

ALWAYS THANKFUL!

Building our IMMUNE SYSTEMS one day at a time.

Sherry on the ICW with granddaughter –

LOVE – ALWAYS THANKFUL!!!!!

Papa’s World – Just looking around!

We have had snow twice in the almost six years we have been in S.C. and N.C. –

And this is a picture of the sunset for the first time!

It was not much – maybe three inches, but with the sun –

Quickly turned to ice and was gone in five days!

This is the back yard –

This year, we had a freak storm cyclone –

That is what they called it, and it came right up the coast from the South.

They even had snow in Northern Florida!

FIFTEEN INCHES is what we got in twenty-four hours.

And the wind was terrible –

Causing it to drift in places to three feet!

I thought we had left this all behind in NVA and WNY!

We did not even own a snow shovel!

I DO NOT LIKE SNOW AND ICE!

This is my idea of winter in the Carolinas!

Dress warm, and when the sun comes out –

Remove layers as it gets warmer, and it does do that!

I can live with that!

Walking on the beach as long as it is not windy-

The sand STINGS your face.

On a walk at the OIB community center in February-

About 50 degrees in the sun, but felt warmer.

So far, we love the weather of the Carolinas!

On the island of OIB-

Free Friday night music concerts from the end of May to the end of September.

Here, the seating area is starting to fill up.

You can take your own food and drinks-

The drinks can not be in a glass!

The music is good and lasts about two hours.

AND, IT IS FREE!

Friday night concerts at OIB!

Other towns nearby have their own free concerts on different nights!

A favorite place for us to go and grab a coffee or tea is Causeway 59 –

Situated just after you exit the causeway bridge to OIB!

There are three restaurants here and a marina.

We sit here and watch the boats come in to refill or to eat at the restaurants.

This is all just off the ICW, which has access to the ocean.

Just a quiet little place and good food!

For enhanced IMMUNE systems.

We had always dreamed of living near a beach!

Today, we live near three of them, and two more are 30 to 45 minutes away.

Papa’s World – Some laughs and good thoughts!

My GOOD THOUGHT for the day!

We volunteer for the Protection of Sea Turtles on Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

For thousands of years, they were able to come onto the beaches and lay their eggs.

But the human population in America exploded, and along with it came “GARBAGE”!

Today, our oceans are full of plastics- bags- and the plastic that holds soda bottles and cans together.

The turtles mistake the plastic bags for jellyfish!

They attempt to eat it, but it blocks their intestines.

They starve to death.

The other plastics go around their mouths and prevent them from eating.

These are but a few ways the human population has interfered with Sea Turtles-

To the point that they are on the endangered species lists.

There is much, much more to all of this.

But we try to help by volunteering!

ONE CUP is all I have each day.

First thing in the morning!

I look forward to that each day.

MY GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

LOL – A little humor first thing in the morning along with my coffee!

I love to do this-

To make someone feel special and smile!

With my long-time friends –

Cindy and Buck are on our trip to Northern California.

We have traveled the world with them.

Neighbors and friends in the mid 90s-

On Pleasant Acres Drive- Portville, N.Y.

Today, we live about 38 miles from them.

We still get together.

LIFE TO US IS ALL ABOUT FRIENDSHIPS!

It seems we all have that favorite chair- couch –

A storage place for clothes! LOL!!

Every day for the past twenty years –

We have been building our IMMUNE SYSTEMS with Juice Plus.

Sipping coffee on the front porch glider –

PAPA’S WORLD – LOOKING OUT FOR SUMMER!!!!!

Papa’s World – Our life at the beach!

Humor – keeps us going!!!

Our life revolves around living near the three beaches in our area.

However, so do friends, family, and GOLFING!

Here is Cindy and Papa!

Cindy and Buck were our neighbors back in WNY in the 90s.

They moved to the Wilmington, N.C. area and then to this golf course called Magnolia Greens-

Just outside Leland and about ten minutes to Wilmington.

We live 38 miles away in Cameron Woods, Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

We often get together to play golf –

See entertainment or just visit each other’s home.

We have remained in contact all these years and have traveled the world together.

Here we are on a par three and standing where our balls ended up on the drive.

Three weeks before this –

Cindy had a hole-in-one here!

Over thirty years ago –

I had a hole-in-one at Saint Bonaventure golf course.

I had hit first and got it close, but she really put it tight to the hole!

Birdies for both of us!

BEACH LIFE – FRIENDS and GOLFING!

The entrance to OIB at the community center.

We often come here in the off-season-

We purchase a pier parking pass for the season-

Or if we come here in season –

You now have to pay to park.

There are bathrooms here –

And a volleyball court for sand volleyball!

From mid May to mid-October –

We spend almost every day on the beach –

As part of THE PROTECTION FOR SEA TURTLES!

This is our fourth season of being volunteers.

This has become a big part of our BEACH LIFE!

Marcus – TAYLOR and Tammy!

Taylor has applied and been accepted as an INTERN this summer for two weeks –

For the Protection of Sea Turtles –

She did this all on her own and will be spending two weeks with us in August.

One or both of us must be with her at all times.

This past year, she tried out as a Freshman –

And made the JV basketball team.

Then, in the Spring,

She tried out and made the JV soccer team.

Since she was just walking,

She had a love of horses!

Now today she rides and works at the horse barn.

She is very tall – almost as tall as Sherry.

She has a way with animals –

Training their Goldendoodle – Marley –

All kinds of tricks.

For two weeks, she will become part of our daily BEACH LIFE!

Friends are part of our BEACH LIFE!

Here is Bob (my grade school buddy)-

And Pam – his wife – Sherry and Diane, our neighbor who has a summer cottage in Rushford Lake back in WNY!

This is near where we raised our kids in the Olean-Portville area.

BEACH LIFE INCLUDES THEM!

Healthy living and building our IMMUNE SYSTEMS –

Has been part of our life for over twenty years.

Today, we age as healthily as we can in our senior years.

PAPA’S WORLD – BEACH LIFE!!!!!!

Papa’s World – Health is our goal.

Twenty plus years ago –

Sherry and I started on a journey to age as healthily as we could into and through our senior years.

This brought a new diet and an awareness of not eating certain foods and drinks!

For me – I GAVE UP MILK! ( I drank a lot of milk since I was a toddler)

Along with that – SODA’S!

I also drank a lot of them since I was a teenager.

Then I cut way back on dairy and meats.

Red meat, I seldom have –

Instead, I eat chicken, pork, and fish in moderate amounts.

I try not to eat deep-fried.

And I cut way down on sweets –

Milk chocolate is my downfall!

But other candy, cakes, and pies –

I seldom eat those.

Sherry is my source of information and keeps an eye on me.

I do not like hard liquor or wine.

I will drink a glass of beer every couple of weeks.

I drink mostly ice water.

I am not a prude, but a SENIOR!

And I recognize I am not up to all that as I used to be!

As a SENIOR, you have more aches and pains –

You require rest but also a form of exercise.

Mine is walking!

Recently, we took our daughter and two granddaughters to Saint Augustine.

In the four days there –

I walked 7000 plus steps a day.

I also know when to get off my feet if only for a couple of minutes.

Taking short rests helps me with a problem I have with my right leg.

Just knowing I will be okay and just keep going with short rests is all part of my senior years.

TRUE – but I KEEP TRYING!!!!!

Sherry – THE GOOD WITCH – and “JUST TOM”!

I used to dress up for Halloween –

But I am okay with going as “JUST TOM”!

Living life one day at a time –

Is good enough for me.

PAPA talking to two tourists after helping to make the runway path for –

THE PROTECTION OF SEA TURTLES on Ocean Isle Beach.

Here, I explain as best I can the “WHY” of being a volunteer for this organization.

We are now into our fourth season of volunteering.

This means from mid-May to mid-October-

Almost every day on the beach!

This gives us a purpose in our senior years and a goal to get out and walk every day.

Senior living one day at a time.

Plus as you get older –

Communicating with others is important-

Keeping your mind as sharp as you can.

Taking trips with old friends.

Meeting up with old friends!

Keeping a balanced lifestyle.

Always looking to reset yourselves.

For twenty-plus years –

Our supplement of choice –

Has been Juice Plus.

Thirty Fruits – Vegetables and Berries.

The nutrients of all of these are put into gummies and capsules.

Every day, getting the nutrients we need for a healthy senior lifestyle.

I have not missed a single day in over twenty years.

Papa’s World – Four seasons-life in the Carolinas.

Welcome to PAPA’S WORLD!

Moving to the South –

First in 1999 to NVA-

While it was a bit warmer-

We still had lots of ICE AND SNOW!

This was one of the major snowstorms we had while living in NVA!

Truth be –

We had more snow in storms there than in the entire 50 years we lived in WNY and NWPA!

We lived just behind the DULLES AIRPORT –

And they recorded 48 inches of snow in two days!

So – when the Pandemic hit –

The 401K dropped, and the housing market took off!

In 2020 – WE SOLD –

And moved temporarily to North Myrtle Beach!

We leased a condo for nine months until our new home was completed-

In Cameron Woods Community, N.C.

Just seven miles from the S.C. border in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.

We are near two beaches, and twice in five years we have experienced snow for a day!

But – most of the time it is warm – bright sunshine- breezy –

And comfortable to walk, and if too hot-

Head for the beaches and breezes.

Here is OIB and the bridge to the beach –

The same can be said for Sunset Beach and Holden Beach.

We are close to all three.

We also walk the beaches in the Winter months as long as it is not windy.

The sand stings your face when the wind blows hard.

There are times in the Winter months – Spring and Fall –

That we golf with friends.

The four seasons here allow us, at times, to do just that!

I can say that we have found our forever home and area to live in.

At least it works for us.

Staying healthy in our advancing senior years.

Building our IMMUNE SYSTEM for over twenty years!

Papa’s World – SENIOR LIVING!

SENIOR LIVING – It seems that later in life,

The “COUCH” gets more inviting as the day goes by! LOL

We have calendars –

To keep track of appointments-

Volunteer work –

Errands and shopping.

Meet-ups with friends –

“How did we ever find time to work”?

The children you raised have moved on!

The grandkids are also ready to take flight-

Be it sports, activities, jobs, or everyday life.

You become a source of –

“How are you? When can we see you?

Then the vacations come and go –

That “COUCH” becomes more comfortable.

I drink my coffee early in the morning –

One cup –

Before dawn.

I read the online newspaper –

I do not watch or listen to cable news.

Facebook – I unfollow those who try to change your minds –

With endless postings.

Being a senior, life becomes too short to listen to all the nonsense.

I am registered as INDEPENDENT!

I cast my vote and then move on.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO DWELL ON WHAT YOU CAN NOT CHANGE, OTHER THAN VOTING!

Being a SENIOR –

We try to give back as much as we can.

Helping others –

Less fortunate.

VOLUNTEERING –

Church – family and friends.

SENIOR LIVING –

Near the beach – playing some golf –

And that couch when watching TV together-

Until early bedtime.

It all starts over for me before the dawn of the day.

That first cup of coffee to start the day –

IN THE LIFE OF A SENIOR!

AGING AS HEALTHY AND BUILDING OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS EACH DAY!
