Papa’s World – Happenings over the years!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

When they were little – Tammy – Marcus – Ella and Sarah with the twins and Bode!

We were at a resort in Pa. –

A complete family reunion of sorts –

There was a large pond and we somehow had this golf cart.

Bode is now ten years old and Ella will graduate from college and Sarah from H.S.

HAPPENINGS OVER THE YEARS!

One of our many excursions with Buck and Cindy –

I think this was the Sierra Nevada Brewery just outside Ashville, N.C.

We explored the city and the Biltmore!

This was Halloween time on the front porch of our “FOREVER” home in Brambleton, Va.

We built this 3100 SF. home with the thoughts of retiring here.

But then – the PANDEMIC came along –

Our 401K took a major hit!

But – the housing market went up and we decided to cash in!

The window to the left was the formal dining room and the windows to the right was the front formal living room.

You can just see the balcony at the top and this came off the spare bedroom.

A beautiful home –

the second home we had built!

LOL – better than a Skunk!

Sherry – nice easy swing and straight down the fairway!

We golf when we can –

either with friends or by ourselves.

Oftentimes in afternoons when most people are finishing up!

One of the reasons we selected our area to live in.

Family – friends – neighbors –

Church – Volunteers –

Giving – helping and caring!

Our Tower Garden we had inside our garage during winter.

Grow lights allowed us to eat fresh greens all year!

JUST MORE LIFE HAPPENINGS!

Papa’s World – Siera Nevada Brewery-Ashville.

On a recent trip with our good friends Cindy and Buck – we scheduled a tour of the brewery –

Sierra Nevada – just outside Ashville, N.C.

Entrance to the lobby and what a sight to behold – really beautiful – well done!

The kitchen is to the left – the bar in the middle is serviced from all sides – and seating is all around.

You had over a dozen on-tap brews!

The draft beer list is on tap! We also had a beer tasting at the end of the tour.

From here you can see into the different rooms and some we were allowed to go into with the guide!

The hops room and as soon as I entered it smelled just like beer!

Five copper vats for each stage of brewing!

There were two of these vats for the final stage. Everything was so clean – their first brewery is in Chico, Calif.

We also could see the plant floor although it was past quitting time – all the cans and bottles were packed by hand – and the whole place was very clean.

We had a great tour and tasted four very good beers – one of which is only made for this brewery here for tasting – that was my favorite – a German brew!
