Papa’s World – A world full of memories.

If you look straight from Sherry – in between the two shadows – you can see the ball after she hit it!

Going straight down the fairway over the cart path!

She has good form and a nice easy swing.

Most of her hits are like this –

Not as far as she would like –

But straight which I wish I could say for myself.

One time she hit just like this and the ball continued to bounce forward –

On the cart path, she ended up just short of a 300-yard fairway and green! LOL

A WORLD FULL OF MEMORIES!

In my senior years – I battle endlessly with weight –

For the last three and on behalf years –

I have been slowly losing that extra pounds.

To date, I am down some 13 to 14 pounds –

and weigh in at one and one-half pounds less than I did when I graduated in 1967!

IT IS NOT EASY and I am a type 2 diabetic.

On my journey for these last years –

I have dramatically reduced my BEER-SUGAR and depend mostly on WATER.

Also – I have stuck for 19 going on 20 years with my supplements of FRIUT – VEGGIES and BERRIES!

I also take OMEGAS that are made from ALGAE instead of FISH OIL –

That may or not contain MERCURY from FISH!

I watch what I eat and when out try to stick to salads and fish or chicken.

And I get tested every four to six months –

My latest cholesterol was 100!!!!!!

I dress warm for the weather as I get cold easily.

It is not easy and I have brought my A1C down from 7.0 to 6.5!

So yes – the above is funny but I know I have to stay doing what has worked for me!

A WORLD FULL OF MEMORIES!

Sherry’s two daughters and my stepdaughters.

We have been together since they were small.

I would do whatever I can to help them.

The Swedish genes run deep –

Sherry’s grandmother was born in Sweden.

The girls are close to both of us and to each other.

We stay with them when we travel back to NVA!

Debby has two daughters who have graduated from college –

and the youngest H.S. this year

Tammy has two almost 15-year-old twin girls and an almost 11-year-old son.

EVERYONE HAS given us A WORLD FULL OF MEMORIES!

My youngest son Shawn and wife Trisha.

Who still lives in NWPA where he was raised.

Today they own and operate a business that provides insulation for the elderly to conserve energy-

Through the State and Energy Companies.

One side is insulation and the other side is inspections to see if they qualify through AUDITS!

Shawn also is a ranked pool player in the USA and CANADA –

Winning many tournaments and yearly trips to Las Vegas.

They both have brought A WORLD FULL OF MEMORIES to us.

We all are from WNY and NWPA and have been friends for over four decades.

We try to get together every four months and we all now live in the state of N.C.

We are all retired and living our dreams –

Fun – laughter – and singing are but a few of the things we enjoy together.

Thus bringing A WORLD FULL F MEMORIES into all of our lives.

My oldest son Troy and partner Andrea –

along with the rest of the family.

He builds houses from the ground up – EVERYTHING!

He gets that from my own father –

who could do the same.

He still lives in NWPA where he was raised.

He has been down once-

and hoping he can make it this year once again.

Proud father of this man –

They bring A WORLD FULL OF MEMORIES to us.

It all began here on 6-25-1982 for our WORLD FULL OF MEMORIES.

A WORLD FULL OF MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – Some past pictures and memories!

A milestone in our life together – reaching the senior year being 75 years old!

We also have been married for 43 years and together a year and a half before that!

Living life to the plus and living life one day at a time!

We also have moved South for the warmer climate and close to two beaches!

A dream we both have had since we first started dating!

We tend to enjoy every moment we can in our life together.

We keep busy – volunteering!

We are volunteers for the Protection of Sea Turtles on OIB!

We also volunteer at Coastal Living –

An assisted living home for seniors.

There are other things we do in volunteering –

This is our life now and has been since we were married.

While we do not do it daily – walking the beach – here is Sunset Beach Pier.

We like to walk here as it is flatter.

We also walk OIB –

both are minutes away from or home!

The town I grew up in – Eldred, Pa.

In the Alleghany mountains – six miles to the border of NYS!

This was Indian territory before the white man came –

It was the land of THE SENACA INDIAN ATION!

We both believe in this –

when we were married I converted from Catholic to Lutheran –

Sherry was raised as a Lutheran.

Our life together has always included church wherever we have lived!

In our married lives together we have celebrated many New Year’s Day together!

Looking forward to many more to come!

We cherish our armed forces and the rule and order of law.

The free speech and equality of men and women.

We live in what we feel is the greatest country on Earth.

GOD – FAMILY and COUNTRY!
