ringing in the new year

Papa’s World – Visiting the past!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

We had our friends at our home for New Year’s Eve and day three years ago.

Here – we gather on the beach with our neighbors and new friends –

Diane and Steve –

Who just happens to be from WNY and still has a Rushford Lake cottage.

This Olean-Portville area is where we lived and raised our family.

Also present is our next-door neighbor Kathy –

We gathered on the beach close to sunset on New Year’s Eve.

A bottle of spirits and glasses helped us view the sunset and set the stage for our get-together –

back at the house!

Sherry is about to open the bottle and Jimmy hoping it does not flow out to him! (it didn’t)

Diane and Steve – from WNY – are now our neighbors in Cameron Community.

It is a small world as they also visit all the places we left behind in Portville-Olean, N.Y.

Jim and Dottie and Buck and Cindy are also from the same area –

and we have known for over Forty Years!

As the last day of 2024 – draws near –

looking back on the past 12 months!

Sherry and I explore as much as we can.

We also volunteer –

and try to walk every day.

The outdoors is our world –

Our home is our dream.

Volunteering for the Protection of Sea Turtles –

N.C. Wildlife Resources – Permit ST2402.

Celebrating both our 75th. birthdays!

We see long-time friends-

and 2024 was no different.

Friends – both here and now and a long time.

Friends and family – 2024 – a year to remember.

It has been a blessed 2024 –

Family – celebrated our life together.

Finally – we all got together for a beach vacation-

cut short by the pandemic.

As we come to the end of 2024 –

it is time to reflect on the many blessings we share.

Our life here in the South has changed –

We golf –

walk the beach –

hop and look for entertainment.

We are tour guides-

for family and friends.

May we bring a positive outlook into the New Year.

Blessings – hope and kindness.

Love – peace and sharing.

Saying goodbye to the old –

and looking to the New Year –

From Sherry and myself – thanks for the memories –

Looking forward to a new year –

and new adventures.
