Papa’s World – Memories in life!

Five granddaughters sitting in our yard in Brambleton, VA

The baby grandson, Bode, is not here!

Every Easter, we would hide eggs-

And they would visit and find them.

MEMORIES IN LIFE!

From the early 20th Century –

The same town I grew up in –

Among the Alleghany River and the Mountains.

Rural Eldred, Pa.

Beyond the mountains is NYS and the Seneca Indian Nation.

Papa’s World – “Looking Back”!

Granddaughter Ella graduated from college on the left, and preschool is on the right!

Now, she is a Phys-ed teacher to small children.

LOOKING BACK – seems she has come full circle!

We have planted a lot of trees-

In our lives together.

At almost every home we have lived in –

We left something to which we can claim –

Has enriched the property.

“LOOKING BACK” on our lives together!

Buck and Jim have been my friends for decades and decades.

Neighbor to Buck and growing up with Jim.

“LOOKING BACK” on everlasting friendships.

“LOOKING BACK” –

We live our lives like this.

Volunteering at Coastal Living –

Home to seniors-

Volunteering for the local food pantry at the church.

Volunteering for the Protection of Sea Turtles!

“LOOKING BACK” has given us a purpose in our senior years.

Looking back – friendships –

We were all friends in the NVA!

Today we all live close-

“LOOKING BACK, life is good.

Taylor – her life is horses.

Riding, cleaning, and grooming them.

She is a natural.

“LOOKING BACK,” She is a joy –

This IS Taylor!

My grade school and H.S. buddy and wife, Pam.

Looking back and looking forward.

Soon, they will move into their leased home for a year –

In our area.

“LOOKING BACK” and looking forward to making new memories!

Papa’s World – More moments in TIME!

Here is a view of Eldred. Pa. in the 1900s.

In the middle, the upper is a white church that I bought and made into apartments in the 80s.

In the middle of the picture to the right –

Is the baseball field without the tall telephone pole lights,

Or the basketball and tennis courts.

To the left,

The middle is the area where the elementary school was built –

I attended the fifth and sixth grades.

Beyond the mountains in the upper middle is NYS!

I lived just a couple of houses down on the left side of the white church.

Left center is a large brown building known as Walker’s Machine Shop.

A path ran on the other side through tall pine trees –

and came out into the backyard of my grade-high school buddy, Bobby!

The hill to the right I called BLUEBERRY HILL, and would take cardboard-

And slide down the hill.

It changed from this to what I remembered growing up!

But here is a look back in time before I was born!

A much earlier view of Eldred, Pa., from a different angle.

The Alleghany River runs through the flat land with trees –

And flows North into NYS until it finally turns South-

To Pittsburgh, Pa.

Twice in my early years –

I canoed down that river –

Once with a group that was called THE EXPLOYERS-

An organization beyond the Boy Scouts!

And a second time with our church youth group.

Growing up, it seemed every Spring brought a flood from that river.

Then after the ’72 flood-

Improved flood protection was put in by the Army Corps of Engineers.

I believe this solved the flooding problem.

Growing up, this was the school, grades 1 through 12.

I went four years here, and my last class was on the bottom floor-

I think the set of windows to the left – fourth grade.

I walked from the North end of town to here.

A mile, perhaps?

The HS kids were on the upper floors.

Many fond memories in this building.

Recess was out front, playing in the huge yard with large trees.

The Oak Hill Cemetery was beyond this building on the other side.

And I can remember riding sleds in the snow down that hill.

These are MORE MOMENTS IN TIME FOR ME!

Papa’s World – In time – pleasant memories!

Friends, we took a boat trip to Shakleford Island –

Where wild horses roam.

We did see them up close and spent a few hours exploring.

IN TIME – A PLEASANT MEMORY!

The INTENT letter Maddy signed to play soccer at Lynchburg University.

Four years, twice making all-conference third and second team.

Team captain in her senior year.

Conference champion once and twice in the NCAA tournament.

THIS IS IN TIME PLEASANT MEMORY!

Shawn – my youngest son –

Receives one of many, many trophies he has accumulated-

In eight-ball pool.

He is a ranked pool player and has won his way to Las Vegas many times.

THIS IS IN TIME PLEASANT MEMORY!

LOL – that is not me –

I wake up early every morning.

I have done this all my life!

Thus, my TIME IN PLEASANT MEMORIES –

Is when I go to bed! LOL

Bode – when he was young-

He would play so hard –

That he would crawl up in the recliner-

And fall asleep!

Creating for us –

IN TIME, A PLEASANT MEMORY!

Storm clouds from the SW –

My place to sit on the front porch-

Shaded – peaceful-

Watching the neighborhood.

Creating for me-

IN TIME – A PLEASANT MEMORY!

This is our dream come true-

Creating in TIME PLEASANT MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – Great days and Good times.

Out to dinner at Inlet View –

With H.S. buddy – Bob and his wife Pam-

Our neighbor Diane and Sherry.

They were in the area looking for a place to do a year’s lease and found it!

Come October, they will move in and see for a year if they like the area.

We were in grade school, Jr. High, and High School together.

Reconnecting after all those years –

Now, playing golf and showing the area we found has become our home.

Great days and Good times are ahead.

LOL – you just have to have a sense of humor to play golf – at least I DO!

In the Fall and Winter –

We have options.

Walking – dressed warm –

Beach or neighborhood.

We left the snow and ice behind.

The sand and surf.

Yes- it can and is chilly.

But we chose this life here in the Carolinas.

MAKING GREAT MEMORIES AND GOOD TIMES!

Drinking for health – http://www.sfitzsimmons.juiceplus.com

Ocean Isle Beach –

And in the distance –

North Myrtle Beach and Cherry Point.

We now call this our beach destination.

Making GREAT TIMES and GOOD MEMORIES with family and friends!

When two of our granddaughters visit-

Quality time overlooking the ICW!

A look back at making GOOD TIMES AND GREAT MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – Humor and Good Thoughts!

Good day, everyone!

Sharing some good thoughts and humor today!

And yes- HAPPY HOUR ON THE BEACH!

To play golf, in my opinion –

You just have to have a sense of humor!

At least I do!

Of course, easier said than done.

Frustrations can and do come out!

But I try not to let it get to me!

Everyone has their day –
bogies – pars and once in a while a birdie.

And then, we head to the beach after that round of golf!

Time to reflect while toes in the sand and the sound of the surf!

“I did hit that great shot – I made it out of the sand trap-

And I one putted”!

I look at the beach – the folks there are on vacation!

Then, I planned to go back again and attempt to play golf.

Knowing it will be both a pleasure and a frustration.

But this is why we choose to live among the golf courses and near the two beaches!

The sun sets on another day of golf –

Another day at the beach-

And our life in the Carolinas is complete-

We are not on vacation –

We live here and have a second chance to swing that club-

Maybe a boggie – a par or a birdie.

In golf as in life-

FRIENDS for decades and decades!

WASH – RINSE and REPEAT!

Friends sharing special moments.

Keep thinking positive thoughts when that shot does not go as you thought!

Today, I blog on HUMOR and THOUGHTS – Good thoughts!

Papa’s World – Family – moments – good thoughts!

Good morning and welcome to my blog!

My journey of blogging has been ongoing for several years.

Encouraged by my wife to write it all down –

And have a place where it is saved for generations to read.

This is about our families –

Friends – events and who we are.

Thanks for reading!

My spot on the front porch –

In the shade, where I sit and say hello or wave to the neighbors.

It is peaceful, and I can watch the storms come in from the SW!

This view is to the NE –

And the sunrise.

We can see both the sunrise and sunset from our front view.

And – the porch is shaded most of the time.

Living life here as a senior –

The climate is ideal for us.

We have a golf course nearby and two beaches.

Shopping is within 30 minutes in both directions.

We have made new friends –

Neighbors and a community to our liking!

Senior living in the Carolinas!

Family is important to us –

And they come to visit.

Here we are at sunset on OIB!

A day well spent, and looking forward to the next day!

A sense of humor for me when I golf!

Back where I began on the front porch.

Papa’s World – Thoughts – Family – Friends!

This is our granddaughter Sarah –

Standing in the entranceway to her H.S. – James Wood –

In Winchester, Va.

She is very talented and artistic.

Her graphic design was chosen to represent 75 years in the history of the H.S.

Here – you see it painted onto the wall above her, where it shall remain –

To honor the H.S.!

In this picture, she is a senior,

And by the time this blog is posted-

She will have graduated and entered her freshman year of college.

As she goes forth into the future –

A part of her shall remain in James Wood High School!

THOUGHTS – FAMILY and Friends!

Six of us lived in the neighborhood of Pleasant Acres Drive in Portville, N.Y.

I grew up with two of these friends in a little town across the border of Pennsylvania.

Called Eldred.

We have remained friends for decades and decades.

Today, we still get together-

Boating, golfing, and just plain friendships.

Years and years of friendships.

THOUGHTS – FAMILY and FRIENDS!

Being alive – being a senior –

And living a life we only dreamed of.

One day at a time-

Living life to the fullest.

THOUGHTS – FAMILY and FRIENDS!

A GOOD VIBE!

My blogs are published every day.

I share family, friends, and events in a journal of my daily life.

Bringing GOOD VIBES to this page.

A condo with a fantastic view of a lake and fountains.

We spent nine months here at this condo in Ocean Keyes.

Located in North Myrtle Beach –

We lived here while our home –

was in Cameron Woods Community-

In Ocean Isle Beach –

was being built.

A huge community here in this picture with 780 condos.

We were on the fourth floor, and this lanai was across the entire back of the condo.

Ducks, geese, birds, and swans were in our view daily.

From up high, we could see-

Very big fish swimming.

This, for nine months,

gave us GOOD VIBES every day!

Papa is standing on our new home in Cameron Woods Community –

Ocean Isle Beach.

We left the condo and moved some 16 miles away.

We still travel to NMB –

And visit that area.

GOOD VIBES are being created where we now live.

Papa’s World – The Kentucky Derby Party!

Thirty-plus people came –

The food was delish –

The company was excellent,

and we all got to meet one another.

The ladies and some of the men wore straw hats – NOT ME!

All the names of the horses were put into a container –

And you bought a name.

You then reached in and withdrew your horse for the race.

We were all glued to the TV over the mantle.

The three winners – middle first place, left second place, and right third place(Sherry)!

Papa’s World – Decorating for Kentucky Derby party.

Our little community came together for a party!

KENTUCKY DERBY!

Kathy – Diane and Sherry did the main decorating.

Kathy – Sherry and Diane.

It was Kathy’s idea,

And they jumped in and helped!

The women all wore hats –

Dresses and the men some had straw hats –

and various forms of dress!

Diane purchased this at a thrift store and did the decorating.

For fun – everyone who wanted to –

Bought a horse out of a jar named.

That would be your horse for the race,

and the first three places paid.

The room was all decorated.

We have a beautiful community center –

And on the website,

It was announced several times with the date and time.

A bunch of tables for food and desserts –

Everyone brought something to eat.

You supplied your own drinks.

Chairs were arranged to watch the race on the TV.

We had so many people that a lot stood and watched.

They had seating for 25, but had more than that.

Here is the seating,

And in the far left back is the bar and kitchen with additional seats.

Paper plates, cups, napkins,

and utensils were donated and provided.

They made the decorations on the fireplace –

A fun time was had by all.

Golf is frustrating and rewarding in the same sequence of shots!

Just ask me!

It only takes that one special stroke to bring me back time after time!

Positive thoughts fill my everyday activities.

I read and absorb details –

I look for truth –

And I make up my own mind with facts.

Keeping a positive attitude helps me do this.

Learning – not judging –

Brings comfort to my life.

BLOGGING WITH GOOD VIBES IN MIND!

Golfing with friends!

Laughing – caring –

Enjoying the life we have.

Brings joy to our lives –

Papa’s World – Sea Catains House – invited by Diane.

In Myrtle Beach,

There is a Restaurant –

that has been there for decades.

Originally built as a home in 1930-

It now serves the best seafood I have ever eaten.

Seen from the parking lot across the main street-

It does not look big –

But it is huge on the inside.

There are many large rooms and levels inside.

It sits beachfront –

And the staff is dressed to the hilt.

Our friend and neighbor –

Diane invited us as a way-

to celebrate our friendship of four years.

Her husband Steve –

Passed away in January and was a good friend.

She told us she wanted to take us to a special place-

And this was excellent.

We ate inside as it was windy on the outside patio.

We all ordered the fish off the varied menu.

I had GRILLED – FLOUNDER and SHRIMP and a BAKED POTATO.

I have to say – there was no leftover for me or Sherry or Diane-

Who both ordered two items different from me.

After dinner –

We made our way to the beach.

Here you can see the back and just how large the building is.

Deceptive from the front –

Excellent food and service.

GOOD DAY!

Writing blogs is a hobby –

That has turned into a way of life for me!

My routine is sometimes after midnight –

I get up and check out my stats on my blogsite!

And then I –

Share a blog I had written some time ago-

on Facebook!

My blog will automatically post at midnight on WordPress-

And go out to worldwide subscribers.

Where they receive an email –

And can read at their leisure and then delete it!

Sharing on Facebook –

is something I have to copy and paste to my site.

Over the years,

I have written hundreds and even thousands of blogs.

They are stored on my WordPress home page.

This is a journal of sorts,

encouraged by my wife, Sherry.

Here she is at one of her meetings with her team.

She is a certified Health Coach.

Nineteen years she has been with The JUICE PLUS COMPANY!

Today we live near OIB and SUNSET BEACH in NC.

My daily blogs are about family, friends, events,

and our lives in general.

There are over 655 subscribers worldwide on WordPress.

And over 1000 on my Facebook page.

LOL -that sums it up on my golf game.

We try to play twice a month.

We also volunteer our time to the Food Pantry –

Coastal Point elderly living –

Protection for Sea Turtles.

And donating the books we read to wherever we can.

CREATING GOOD THOUGHTS in my blogs.

Writing helps me keep my mind sharp

I hope this starts your day-

Papa’s World – Positive writings!

Opening my “STATS” page at WordPress –

I find daily the places folks live –

That reads my blogs.

Here is a snapshot of when I opened the page.

The number of “SUBSCRIBERS” is now close to 660 – WORLDWIDE!

I started this at the suggestion of my wife-

Sherry-

To write and save the blogs to a site –

And then they would not be lost in the Cloud!

My blogs are mostly about Family, Friends, Places, Events –

A journal of our life together.

My goal is to have a place where future generations can read what our lives were all about.

I also bring kindness, compassion, humor,

and laughs.

POSITIVE WRITINGS!

My son Shawn, Sherry, and his wife Trisha.

They still live back in NWPA –

Where Sherry and I both grew up.

It takes them pretty close to 16 hours to drive down here.

They own and operate their own Auditing – Insulating business –

For contracts from the state-

Power companies –

To help the elderly in Pa.

Shawn also competes in Pool tournaments –

Numerous times,

winning his way to Las Vegas!

A POSITIVE WRITING ON FAMILY!

Cassidy – one of the twins!

She is competing in Gymnastics –

She is also a cheerleader.

Here she demonstrates her ability at OIB-

Sunset across the marsh!

POSITIVE BLOGGING!

Cassidy is also an artist.

She drew this when she was eleven years old.

She can look at a subject and put it on paper.

A POSITIVE INFLUENCE IN HER YOUNG LIFE!

Today – Taylor, Cassidy, and their mother Tammy!

The Swedish genes from Sherry run deep in the family!

They are twins –

And before full term –

The doctor said now is the time.

They were taken from the womb-

Both under 2 pounds.

Taylor was the bigger of the two.

There was no choice,

and it just happened to be Tammy’s birthday.

So today they all share the same birthday.

A POSITIVE WRITING!

LOVE IS POSITIVE IN OUR LIVES!

We were all friends back in NVA!

Today, Jim and Claudia live a short four miles from us.

Having sold their home in Reston,

they built a house near us.

Ginger and Jason sold their home back in Reston –

And built a new home outside of Leland, N.C.

They are 38 miles from us.

It was only by chance that we found this!

I had been searching once we decided to sell our forever home!

It was during the Pandemic –

And our 401K took a major hit!

While all of a sudden –

The value of our home started to climb!

A POSITIVE MADE OUT OF A NEGATIVE!

We made our choice to build near this beach –

OCEAN ISLE BEACH-

In North Carolina –

On the mainland near the ICW!

Also – just a couple more miles is SUNSET BEACH-

With a similar causeway bridge-

Over the ICW!

ANOTHER POSITIVE IN OUR RETIREMENT LIFE!

We wanted to be near golf courses –

And these views are from Sea Trails –

The ending holes on the Jones course and the Byrd course!

We are in the middle of some 30 golf courses here in North Carolina-

Some eight miles to the border of South Carolina!

A BIG POSITIVE FOR US!

This view is what sold Sherry and me on renting this condo.

We did it for a couple of months at a time-

We were building a new home.

We had three bedrooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms.

A living room and a dining area.

The lanai extended across the entire condo, facing the lake with fountains.

There are over 750 condos here –

Six swimming pools –

A basketball and tennis court.

Six fountains were going down the lake-

And a half-mile walk to the beach entrance.

Most of that was inside the security of Ocean Keyes.

Then, we could walk along North Myrtle Beach Main Street.

This was during the full-blown Pandemic.

We were almost the only people out and about while walking!

This became a negative, but turned into a positive for us!

Debby, her daughter,

and two of her three daughters visit and walk in the surf.

The WHY we decided to build near here.

When family visits –

They have access to two beaches.

A BIG POSITIVE FOR THEN AND US!

Today, while we no longer have that fantastic view of the lake and fountains of Ocean Keyes-

We have this from our front porch in the shade all day long!

This is Cameron Woods Community.

Ocean Isle Beach –

A ten-minute drive

and you are standing on the beach.

We have turned ONE POSITIVE into ANOTHER POSITIVE for us and our family and friends!

Papa’s World – Pictures of memories.

Taylor, Cassidy, and their mother Tammy.

The two girls are twins, fraternal.

It was not planned, but the doctor told the parents –

IT WAS TIME – Taylor was taking most of the nourishment-

And at 32 weeks –

The doctor said it could not go full term.

The procedure was performed, and we had two tiny babies.

Both under two pounds.

And now all three share the same birthday!

September 3rd.

Unique – and today Taylor is 5’9″ and Cassidy is 5’6″!

The Swedish genes from their MORMOR –

Sherry – Tammy’s mother – runs deep!

Sherry – MORMOR (Swedish for mother’s mother)-

And this is what the twins call her!

It has now been many years since their birth and growing up!

Their family includes a brother, Bode, and the dog, Marley.

And Father Marcus.

This has given this blog –

PICTURES OF MEMORIES!

Here is my oldest son, Troy, and partner, Andrea.

Hoping they can make it down again for a visit.

They still live back in NWPA, where Sherry-

And I was raised.

My two sons and their wife,

And their partner.

Today I share as memories –

Hoping once again to see them here in OIB!

PICTURES OF MEMORIES!

The girl I fell in love with –

Now we have been married for over 43 years.

This is a memory in a picture for me!

Papa’s World – Moments in time with pictures!

Debby – Papa – Sarah and Sherry!

She has since graduated from H.S.

And now enrolled in college.

Here – we visited her at her school when she was young!

That smile and her cheerful disposition-

Makes this a –

A MOMENT IN TIME WITH PICTURES!

On Sherry’s bucket list of places to visit-

EPCOT for the FLOWER FESTIVAL!

We finally made it in the Spring and were not disappointed.

The many brilliant flowers were just as we imagined!

THIS IS A MOMENT IN TIME WITH A PICTURE!

My youngest son won first place in a pool tournament.

One of dozens, if not hundreds, of times winning.

He is a ranked pool player who has often played in Las Vegas.

Proud of this young man!

A MOMENT IN TIME WITH PICTURES!

Sherry and I are in our third year of volunteering for the Protection of Sea Turtles –

At Ocean Isle Beach!

Here is one of many nests we have helped on to make sure after hatching –

The baby Sea Turtles make it safely to the Ocean surf and water.

Being retired –

Volunteering –

gives us meaningful activities as we get older.

Papa’s World – Memories in pictures!

Bode and Cassidy –

He is the first grandson,

and Cassidy is a twin of Taylor.

Not identical but fraternal.

But now, all these years later –

Bode and Cassidy are so alike.

Here are the three of them –

Taylor is very tall –

Almost 5’9″ –

Cassidy is 5’6″.

I think Bode will be very tall –

But he and Cassidy act so much alike,

And it is hard to tell who is speaking –

When you can not see them.

But Taylor and Bode played together in the pool for hours.

He seems to get along better with her.

Cassidy does her own thing –

But – she is very protective of him.

All three sing in the choir.

Taylor and Cassidy did plays –

But now Cassidy has chosen Cheerleading and Gymnastics.

Taylor chooses the plays and horseback riding.

Bode – I think will do plays, but –

Also plays flag football, Soccer, and Golf.

It is a busy household,

Running the three of them to whatever they are doing!

When they were little –

Taylor, Bode, and Cassidy.

Papa’s World – Memories with family and friends.

In The Villages in Florida!

Here stands my older brother Roger-

Waiting to TEE OFF!

Before he passed away –

We would drive down for years and spend about six weeks with him.

At one point, he asked if we would move down and stay with him.

Sadly, we could not.

But the time we spent with him in those years was PRICELESS!

RIP, my brother –

Gone but not forgotten.

MEMORIES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

We have known one another for decades.

Friends, we often get together.

We were neighbors, and some of us grew up in the same town.

Friendships through the years –

MEMORIES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

This is a picture of the causeway bridge over the ICW to Ocean Isle Beach.

In ten minutes from our house –

We can cross this bridge to the island.

Straight ahead is the pier.

On the left, before you get to the circle, is the OIB Park-

From May to the end of September-

Open-air concerts are held for free!

This beach is also where we volunteer for the Protection of Sea Turtles.

This starts in May and ends in October.

Many a day we are there walking –

Or sitting and watching the nest until they hatch.

We make sure they get to the water and into the ocean.

This is one of two beaches near where we live.

The other is SUNSET BEACH!

We visit that one often.

Welcome to our area where we live!

Humor – smiles and laughs.

There is a place on OIB –

A church and behind this church on the marsh –

Sits a gazebo.

A lot of folks go to see the sunset on Sunset Beach.

We have also done that.

But – here you can park-

Walk down to the gazebo-

And capture the marsh, the water, and the sunset!

MEMORIES!

My youngest son and I.

He lives in NWPA and is 16 hours away.

But twice, he and his wife have been down to visit.

Creating more memories of family!

Back when we lived in Brambleton, Northern VA,

The twins lived a mile from us.

Oftentimes, they would come to visit.

Here they sit on the floor by the front door.

Waiting for the arrival of their cousins.

A moment in time captured in a picture for a memory of a lifetime.

Papa – Bode – Tammy – Marcus – Cassidy – Sherry – and Taylor –

Last night of their stay –

In spring before Easter.

On the patio of SUNSET PRIME!

This was a first for us on the covered deck outside!

The food and service were very good –

The view was of two finishing holes of the 9th. and 18th. holes.

Watching as the foursomes finished up around 5:30 PM.

From our table –

A view to the right at the finishing hole –

I think this was number 18!

This is being developed as a destination resort for the SEA TRAILS GOLF RESORT!

Major improvements have been added and redesigned.

A 150-room hotel is planned –

There already is a convention center-

And brand new restaurants, of which SUNSET PRIME is one.

Here I believe is the finishing 9th. hole.

There is an outdoor fire pit with seating for over a dozen folks.

There are dozens of large-screen TVs inside –

and seating for a lot of people.

SUNDAY NFL FOOTBALL is a draw,

and different sets have different games.

We will be back and take visitors to enjoy the good food and view.

This is only four miles from our home.

Papa’s World – Positive vibes – feeling good!

When I look back years to when this picture was taken-

The twins – Taylor and Cassidy-

It brings many memories of when they were little.

Hugging, playing, and laughing.

Today, things have changed.

They both are their own identities.

Cassidy – Gymnastics – Cheerleading –

Taylor – acting on stage – singing and dancing –

And becoming an accomplished horse rider.

Both different –

Yet the same –

When not in my view –

Hard to distinguish who is speaking.

Both sing in the choir-

Both play the Violin-

Both are growing into beautiful young ladies.

BOTH – GIVING ME POSITIVE VIBES and GOOD FEELINGS!

A little bit of humor –

Bringing a good feeling today!

The Ocean is angry –

The white caps are endless –

But this is also our happy place!

We wanted to be near the beach –

The sand and surf.

To be able to walk –

GIVING ME POSITIVE VIBES AND GOOD FEELINGS!

Storms come and go –

Rainbows, sunshine-

and starry nights, and the moon.

All bring me –

POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND GOOD FEELINGS!

When the oldest granddaughter chooses to spend long weekends with her grandparents.

Maddy – an Environmental Scientist –

makes my heart feel so good-

Giving us both POSITIVE VIBES AND GOOD FEELINGS!

Taylor on her first horse ride years ago!

Papa’s World – Positive thinking!

My youngest son, Shawn, and his wife, Trisha.

For years and years, he has been playing pool.

In all those years –

He has won his way to Las Vegas and world pool tournaments.

Here – this year – he won another tournament in Erie, Pa.

On his way again to Las Vegas.

POSITIVE THINKING and excellent play,

moves him forward year after year.

Came across this diagram on where to place your feet –

When hitting certain clubs!

Now, if only I could just do this and hit the ball! LOL

Every day, I thank my wife, my doctors, and my lifestyle of trying to age healthily.

It is not easy –

But POSITIVE THINKING keeps me going forward one day at a time.

Two nearby beaches –

Shopping nearby and entertainment.

Winters are mostly without snow and ice.

POSITIVE THINKING leads us to where we now live.

Living life to the plus one day at a time.

Each day with a sunrise – and everything in between –

I have had one more day I have had –

to enjoy life to the fullest.

POSITIVE THINKING – leads to less stress.

Papa’s World – Positivity – Humor and good vibes!

When the family visited in the Spring!

Here is daughter Debby-

and Ella-

to the far right-

And Sarah is to the far left.

Her daughters and our granddaughters.

This is a yearly visit –

But the granddaughters are getting older.

Ella has graduated from college,

and Sarah will enter college soon.

Hopefully, like their older sister Maddy –

She continues to visit on her own –

When she has vacation time to spend with us!

Bringing “GOOD VIBES” into our lives!

Humor on the golf course!

In my game –

I need a lot of humor!

Yes – as my friends state –

If this is a par or birdie –

YOU MUST PUTT IT! LOL

Me – I just SMILE and mark my ball! LOL!

HUMOR makes life so much easier!

” TO ME IT IS A GIMMIE”!

The view from my seat on the glider on the front porch!

This is one of the reasons –

MY WHY –

To purchase this lot and build our home here.

I wanted on my “WISH” list a front porch in the shade-

Where I could sit and watch the folks go by!

A place to just “CHILL” out in the shade.

THIS IS MY POSITIVITY for the day!

My oldest son,

Troy and his Partner, Andrea-

The picture says it all!

Papa’s World – Good thoughts – the COLORS of flowers! DEER!

In our daily lives –

FLOWERS bring joy with our own eyesight!
Sherry and I – try as we might – display flowers.

These are not ours –

But in our new home near OIB-

It is a constant struggle with DEER!

Wherever we visit –

We both take many pictures of flower gardens.

The problem with DEER –

Is in our complete neighborhood!

They even come onto porches and eat the flowers!

So when we see flower arrangements in gardens –

There is a sort of envy because we just can not do that!

I have tried all sorts of sprays –

Different flowers that they won’t eat ( they still do)!

I once posted this problem on my social media page-

They gave me some ideas and said if that doesn’t work, then –

“EAT THEM”!!!! LOL

No – I will not hurt them –

So we do not plant –

As we normally would!

However,

I capture the places we have been –

Such as here at Epcot –

Wonderful displays of gardens with flowers!

Sherry in Winter Garden-

Our wishful thinking is captured now in memories with pictures!

Missing is Ella –

Who is away at college and has graduated at the time of this writing.

Granddaughters, daughters, and mother.

POSITIVES IN OUR LIVES!

Ella and Sherry –

At one time,

we had a nickname for her- “TINY”!

Not anymore –

She is as tall or taller than Sherry!

POSITIVES IN OUR LIVES!

A POSITIVE IN OUR LIFE!

MARLEY and PAPA-

While we do not have a dog –

MARLEY is part of the Krohn family –

Every time we visit –

She becomes A POSITIVE IN OUR LIVES!

Over four decades –

As couples –

Our oldest friends-

POSITIVES IN OUR LIVES!

Our positive motto in life!

The biggest POSITIVE and the WHY I am alive today-

MY MOTHER, before she passed at almost 98 years old! MARY!

Papa’s World – HUMOR in the world of golf!

Good day, everyone!

Humor goes a long way in a round of golf!

Here – Sherry, Bob and Pam, and I-

enjoy nine holes of golf in Florida!

After all –

For me,

It is that ONE SHOT that brings me back time after time!

It is the most stressful game I have ever played!

But also the most enjoyable game I have ever played.

AND THIS IS ME IN THE ABOVE!

Playing golf with friends –

It is a fun-filled day –

Good shots and bad shots –

But I always have a fun time!

LOL – But is this a “GIMMIE PUTT” if it is for par or birdie?

Always a fun-filled day when these three get together to golf!

Or for drinks! LOL

LOL – how true this is!

Jimmy – my friend –

from back in Eldred, Pa.

Before golf –

We played softball together in the mid-70s!

All these years later –

Still close friends and now playing golf –

At least I try to! LOL!

In my world of golf –

So true –

But hitting that one shop or making that long putt-

So worth the frustration!

I hope I brought some HUMOR to your golf game today!

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

COMING TO A END

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 ?

WHERE FRIENDS MEET FAMILY

Papa’s World – Walking Lake Sumpter Landing!

On a recent spring day –

We and friends – Pam and Bob –

Rented a golf cart for the day!

We were in THE VILLAGES and used it to travel to Brownwood and back –

To Lake Sumpter Landing!

We found a place to park on the main street-

And then started our walking tour.

The place where we rented the cart was just a couple of blocks away.

We had an app on the phone that gave directions to cart paths.

Sherry and I knew this area as we would spend winters –

With my brother Roger, who lived but a half mile away!

We would walk from his house and had a routine of where to walk every day!

We always would stop for coffee and iced tea!

Memories came flooding back.

We once met the mother and grandparents of Patrick Reed –

A professional PGA golfer in front of an Asian restaurant!

I once watched the Boston Red Sox team management on the town square.

We would sit and watch the line dancers and other folks at night –

When the live music would play across the town square.

On this day, right across from RED SAUCE ( my brother Rogers’ favorite hangout)-

And next to the radio station –

A man with two parrots sat and let people hold the birds!

A tip jar was there –

And they were quite colorful.

She once let a street vendor put a snake around her shoulders in Morocco!

She said she could feel the bird’s talons dig into her arm!

NOT ME – if it is going to happen –

It will happen to me –

Like a pigeon flying across the 100,000-seat stadium –

and it craps –

IT WOULD END UP ON ME! LOL

A wonderful golf cart-filled day was had by the four of us.

This was a BUCKET LIST event for me.

A way to bring back all those memories of days gone by.

A dinner just outside of THE VILLAGES!

Papa’s World – Touring Winter Garden, Fla.

At this restaurant,

we were able to build-

Our very own BISON BURGER!

Something of a first for me!

They hand this plastic menu for you-

You then write your name and proceed to circle everything you want.

Including how you want it cooked.

A unique idea,

and we had fun doing it!

Very tasty!

Cindy – Buck and Sherry.

We stayed in Winter Garden in the Spring at an AIRBNB –

Using it as a base to explore the area.

We have traveled the World with Cindy and Buck!

Walking the streets of Winter Garden –

Cindy goes to a store to see what is there.

Sherry was admiring the many flowers up and down the street!

It was a warm day in the sun –

Lots of activity up and down the street.

Winter Garden is a beautiful little city –

Flower beds all over

Bright colors – and lush greens in the old oak trees

and the palm trees!

We had a good time in the sunshine and warm air.

The girls are shopping-

Buck and I sit in the sun on a bench in Winter Garden.

Papa’s World – Touring The Villages by golf cart!

Here we are on the golf cart paths-

heading to Brownwood from Lake Sumpter Landing!

This is the view as we navigate a crossing section of a street –

and continue on the other side-

Much like regular street driving –

Right of way –

carts coming and going in both directions –

And stop signs at regular street crossings!

Passing pull-off areas for carts-

Much as you would see rest stops for cars!

Here you can observe golfers on the tee box –

I liked doing this –

when we would visit my brother during winter!

Bob driving and Papa in the front –

Pam and Sherry in the rear seat-

We rented the golf cart for the day in Sumpter Lake Landing –

And I guess it was over a dozen miles to Brownwood.

All seats faced forward,

which is what we wanted.

The cart paths follow the main road along side it!

Sherry – Pam and Bob in the cart we rented.

Here we arrive at Brownwood and park.

The farmers Market was happening.

Wallking around the Market in Brownwood.

Town square in Brownwood – The Villages!

The venue in Brownwood where music is heard and seen every night!

In the cart once again heading back to Sumpter Landing.

We spent I guess six hours touring on the paths and the two towns.

The four of us –

Bob – Papa – Pam and Sherry!

It was a great time –

Parking on the town street –

getting out and about!

Put this on your bucket list to see and do.

Papa’s World – Events in our lives – Memorable!

When they were young –

Taylor – Sarah ( now 18) and Cassidy – the twins are now almost 15!

These three bonded right away in their youth.

They even formed a Mermaid Club one year when we went on vacation.

Here they dressed up at our patio in Brambleton, Va.

In between houses –

they came along –

with their parents to live with us until their new home

was ready!

I would play hide and seek with them!

Here they are when I found them –

hiding in plain sight-

They were so cute back then-

when they wore identical outfits.

Giggling when I found them –

I wish we could go back in time to these days-

But – the pictures allow us to have-

EVENTS IN OUR LIVES – THAT ARE MEMORABLE!

For almost twenty years –

Sherry has been a leader-

(TEAM GENERATIONS) –

in the world of-

HEALTH and NUTRITION!

Here – she is at a conference giving a speech –

She is a CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH-

from the renowned Dr. Willaim Sears –

A top doctor in the country for children’s health

and author of dozens of children’s health books.

Her many years of service for the industry of Juice Plus –

has been recognized –

at Conferences across the nation.

As we now are in our Golden Senior Years –

Our commitment has never wavered –

Our goal set Twenty Years ago was to –

AGE HEALTHY –

into our Golden Years which is what we have done.

Continuing this path

has left a path for Generations

of our family to follow.

Thus creating –

EVENTS IN OUR LIVES THAT ARE MEMORABLE!

For over a dozen years we have been harvesting our own homegrown vegetables –

Here is Sherry with daughters Debby and Tammy –

Who have followed their mother and helped in forming –

TEAM GENERATIONS those many years ago.

This TEAM is all up and down the East Coast and spread into other parts of the country.

Using The TOWER GARDEN from Juice Plus.

No pesticides are used –

Grown with just water and nutrients that were developed to use on the Space Station-

In Outer Space.

Being now in a warmer climate –

We grow twelve months of the year.

We continue to harvest all year!

We know what we are eating –

and it is so convenient –

To just walk out the back door

and select what we want to eat.

Here is the bounty of one of our Tower Gardens

we used to harvest vegetables and greens.

Do we need “GREEN THUMBS”?

No – we just harvest –

add water and Nutrients –

and trim it back every so often –
Creating –

EVENTS IN OUR LIVES THAT MEMORABLE!

Papa’s World – Times in pictures forms memories!

For almost twenty years –

We have run our internet business from home –

The business almost runs itself –

Sherry more or less guides the customers-

And they make the decision themselves.

Ship dates –

Add or subtract from the orders.

We started this as a way

to maintain aging healthy

as much as we can.

I certainly do not consume

the recommended fruits, vegetables, and berries every day-

mostly in uncooked form.

And the Omegas –

which you get from FISH oil –

Well, you have to worry about Mercury –

These Omegas –

Are made from Algae

which is grown on company farms-

Algae is what the fish eat to get the Omega-3s.

There is no Mercury in the Algae farms.

So, of course,

You might wonder –

“How do we know we are getting the nutrients from their fruits, vegetables, and berries”?

Well –

JP is the most researched whole food product of all time.

Over FORTY studies have been done

and published

in Journals proving it does what it says it does.

Rest assured, I did not read all of them –

But enough to know what it does

and from my own experience –

I believe it!

Now it is NSA-approved –

which means Professional Athletes –

Can use this every day

and not be expelled from their sports.

The Olympic teams take it –

Both summer and Winter.

I will always take it every day –

And I get my blood tested every six months

And I am good!

Sherry and Debby were recognized

at a conference at Elton’s dinner.

Sort of an awards show

for those who excel.

As I stated at the beginning –

I am going on TWENTY YEARS

of taking this supplement every day.

Although I can not stop aging –

I try to age as healthily

as I can in my SENIOR YEARS.

We are both in our mid to late 70s

We were neighbors back in the late 80s in Pleasant Acres Drive – Portville, N.Y.

William ( Buck ) McBride –

today we live about 38 miles from them in N.C.

Often times we get together – be it golf – dinner –

shows or just talking.

Here – we are on the ICW riding a boat for a memory in time.

Sherry and Cindy –

she and Buck were our neighbors in the mid to late 80’s –

back in Pleasant Acres Drive in Portville, N.Y.

Today they live some 38 miles from us in N.C.

We have stayed in touch all these years

and have traveled the world with them.

Today – dinners – golf – shows or

just visiting still brings our friendships –

to more memories in time.

Our three oldest granddaughters

way back then waiting for their parents to get up –

On Christmas morning.

Sitting at the top of the stairs –

smiling – giggling –

A memory from the past

is a memory in time that shall be with me until I am no longer here!

The three youngest grandkids –

the twins and the first boy –

today they have grown so much

since this picture was taken years ago.

Cassidy still dresses

to her own tune today!

Taylor is a horse lover

and works at a stable and rides.

Bode will be eleven years old

and plays soccer – flag football and golf!

Today this is another moment in time’s memory!

Our oldest friends as a couple

and then we married.

Jim and Dottie –

who also grew up in Eldred, Pa. as I did.

They are my oldest friends as a couple.

Many adventures –

family vacations

and raising children.

A moment in time as a memory!

Debby – Papa and Sherry

at an awards event for the Eltons at a Juice Plus Conference.

We now are going on TWENTY YEARS

of our home-based business on the Internet –

for the Juice Plus Company

on eating healthy – aging as healthy as we can –

Getting over thirty Fruits – Veggies and Berries

into our bloodstream every day!

Our goal is and has been from the start

to have a residual monthly income

and stay healthy-

now in our mid-70s –

We have retained both objectives

for almost TWENTY YEARS!

A MEMORY CAPTURED IN A MOMENT IN TIME!

A sketch of our home

was given to us

by Diane and Steve – our neighbors.

They also are from WNY –

close to where we raised our family

before we transferred to NVA.

It is a small world

and are thankful we met them.

They still have a cottage on Rushford Lake back in WNY!

A MEMORY IN TIME WE SHALL ALWAYS CHERISH FROM CLOSE FRIENDS!

On a recent walk in Vareen Gardens –

Sherry and I

aging as healthy as we can

while maintaining

a SENIOR LIFESTYLE INTO OUR MID-SEVENTIES!

Papa’s World – Over 3/4 of a Century!

It is hard to believe it went by that fast!

It seems only yesterday I stood here in this picture – 6-25-1982 – 33 years old!

And now today I am 76 years old!

Here is my grade school – High School friend – Bobby –

Both are now 76 years Young!

Still staying in touch for all those years!

We grew up together in a little town in NWPA – called Eldred!

Sleeping out – under the stars – playing sports-

on our porch and in the yard in the back of the house.

No ground cloth – just sleeping bags –

Mine was a hand-me-down from my brother-in-law Bill!

It was his olive green Korean War one!

I really do not know how they stayed warm in those!

It was just a wool blanket inside a canvas bag!

Two of my oldest friends – on the left – Dottie and Jimmy – whom I have known since they graduated from H.S. in little Eldred, Pa.

I was at their wedding and they were at Sherry and my wedding!

My wife Sherry on our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic –

We have been side by side since the day we were married and a year and one-half before that!

We have traveled the world – raised two sets of children –

We have sold and bought SIX HOUSES in that time –

and three of them we had built!

We had a combined 79 1/2 years of service with one company –

American Olean Tile – Dal Tile –

And at retirement had gone through FOUR acquisitions

The final one is MOHAWK!

We both transferred from Olean in 1999!

To Northern Va. – Alexandria for me and Dulles for her.

In the end – she went from being an SSC manager – gathering numerous awards along the way –

to an outside sales rep for NVA and parts of WVA!

In 2020 – both of us being retired – the pandemic hit and the 401K went South!

But – what was a surprise –

The values of our RETIREMENT HOME FOR LIFE –

Increased so much –

We decided to sell and move to a warmer climate.

Sunset Beach, N.C., and in the distance Ocean Isle Beach. N.C.

Golf – sand – ocean and warm weather in the Carolinas!

We were eight miles to the border of N.C. and S.C.

We left behind families – both in Pa. and NVA.

But we moved forty miles from our dear friends Buck and Cindy –

who was for years our next-door neighbors in Portville, N.Y. –

In Pleasant Acres Drive!

They had moved South a few years before we did to the Wilmington- Leland, N.C.

We often Ed visited them and decided we liked it in this general area.

Today – we often get together to golf – dinner and trips!

We have traveled the World with them!

We have made new friends in our neighborhood –

Here is Diane along with her husband Steve –

are from WNY –

and still to this day spend summers at their cottage house at Rushford Lake –

A few miles from where we lived in Portville, N.Y.

Today – they live but three doors up from us in Cameron Woods Community!

For almost nineteen years we have run an internet business from our home base-

Juice Plus – Fruits – Vegetables – Berries and Omegas in powdered and liquid form –

In capsules with over 40 scientific researches done-

by Major institutions all over the World-

to prove what it does.

Not only have I never missed a day –

at 76 years old – and having tests conducted every four to six months-

I am convinced of what the research proves –

That I will take this for the rest of my life.

And what it has done for our economy –

is provides us with 19 years of residual income-

from our own website in our home!

A big thank you for reading my blog on what is today year number 76 in my life.

who is an SSC with the company.

Papa’s World – Life to the Plus!

We decided to move further South – all the way down to the border of N.C. and S.C. – OIB!

We are eight miles to the border – and in the other direction – 8 miles to big box shopping!

And – we hear in that area – a Costco is coming!

We are close to two beaches – OIB and Sunset Beach and several others.

North Myrtle Beach is thirty minutes away – and Wilmington is forty-five minutes!

A view from the pier at Sunset Beach and in the distance the tall building is Ocean Isle Beach.

In ten minutes we are on OIB and fifteen minutes Sunset Beach.

We are in the middle of 30 golf courses and with our FIRST TEE card we can play most of them at a big discounted rate.

Neither one of us likes the cold – ice and snow and down here we get very little of any of it!

It does get cold with windchill – but when the sun is out – it feels warm.

We own no snow shovels!

We grow our Tower Garden all twelve months – and now are growing Cucumbers and Lettuce.

Allowing us to eat our own pest-free produce!

This flower has just completed its second year of growing – and we will continue through the winter months – covering it when necessary.

We are from WNY and NVA and follow the Bills and the Commanders.

I love sports and I still am a big Saint Bonaventure Basketball fan and follow them year to year.

Papa’s World – A look around at what’s going on!

A trip to Niagra Falls with our friends the McBrides several years ago.

We now live about 40 miles from them –

They are in Magnolia Greens just outside Leland, N.C.

over the years we have traveled the World with them.

Our last trip was to Ashville, N.C.

In between we go out to dinner or shows and occasional golf.

Just a wee look into what goes on in our life!

Before the Pandemic and our move to Cameron Woods Community-

Back in NVA – Sherry was a runner –

Taking a first place in her age group –

Here we went back to our roots in WNY for a race where Tammy joined her.

Both daughters followed in her footsteps and ran races with her.

Even the Cherry Blossom ten-mile race in DC.-

When they crossed the finish line all three holding hands!

Great memories and her inspiration to others to be healthy and age that way!

Here nine years ago – is Cassidy and Taylor and little Bode!

Sitting under the Swedish Maypole on the church lawn in Mount Jewett!

Here is where Sherry was raised and went to church.

Once a year the town puts on what is called THE SWEDISH FESTIVAL!

This little community situated in the Alleghany Mountains –

Has a proud heritage of Swedish immigrants.

Her mother’s mother ( MORMOR) was born in Sweden.

The three youngest grandkids all call Sherry – MORMOR!

A week-long festivities of Swedish heritage takes place and this pole is one of the events!

A look back at her hometown and grandkids.

A good vibe for the day!

Our day begins with a SUNRISE on OIB –

We are blessed that we can be on the beach in minutes –

To see this every day if we wish!

A look at our lives in N.C.

A look at Sherry training members of her TEAM GENERATIONS in NVA before we left.

Teaching health and nutrition all up and down the East Coast!

Our very long-time friends from WNY who still live back there-

Steve and Elaine-

So far they have traveled down once to be with us and we are hoping that happens again!

Papa’s World – For eighteen years we have changed lives.

What I remember most from my life before we started this healthy living – was my obsession with fast food.

I loved Mcdonald’s double quarter pounders and fries – and diet Coke!

This would become a whole new way of living for me – one that I started to give up what I loved to eat –

Milk – Sodas(POP) – fast food – fried foods –

The thing I regret the most is Juice Plus was around THIRTEEN YEARS before I even heard of it –

so I lost those years and that time before – 35 years – of eating unhealthy – led to my heart attack!

I am convinced had I not changed – I would not have survived my heart attack – FOUR BLOCKAGES!

Putting the above into my body at that stage of my life – I feel gave me the best chance of survival and I am forever grateful for that.

Today we are in our SENIOR YEARS – enjoying life and health as a lifestyle.

Along this journey of eighteen years – not only have we changed our own lives – but that of our family – friends – strangers – and lots and lots of children!

The day we said YES – to the question –

“IF YOU COULD PUT 30 DIFFERENT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND BERRIES INTO YOUR BODY – EVERY DAY WITH A CAPSULE – WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED”?

That question and that day – I strongly feel saved my life all those years ago – for I had not put those

fruits- vegetables, and berries into my body for all those years.

And now going on for eighteen years we are asking you and people like you that very question!

Papa’s World – ” I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO”

GOOD MORNING

On our list – SAN FRANCISCO – and we made it !

The Golden Gate Bridge

We left in traffic in the early morning –

and arrived still in traffic crossing the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE in FOG !

We had a destination – a parking garage –

But it was surrounded by one way streets !

So – drove around and around –

passing our way in a few times

because we could not get to it.

Parking garage

The plus to all that was the garage was right across the street from Pier 39 !

Alcatraz

We also had a view of Alcatraz in the bay.

We choose not to go there as Buck and Cindy had been there

and I wanted to spend more time in the city !

Pier 39

We walked and walked Pier 39 –

NOTE – we left Sacramento in 100 plus temps

had to have light jackets as it only got to 64 and foggy.

great place to people watch and also full of unique places.

If you go here – take it all in and search out a good place to eat !

San Fran sky line

It also was close to where we bought tickets

for a 2 1/2 hour bus tour ( you can hop on and off )

we selected to stay on and then walk when we got back.

At end of Pier 39

I also recommend you walk to the end of Pier 39

where you can see hundreds of huge Harbor Seals

all barking and moving around on floating docks!

Papa’s World – Being “ALERT”! LUMINATE!!!!!

In the morning routine, I have maintained for years – first I shower – along with the teeth – shaving, etc.

Then after getting dressed – it is now around 6am.

I go to the kitchen and make my cup of “COFFEE”!

Then it is onto my computer – reading emails – deleting and finally –

I read the Washington Post online – skipping what I did not want to read and reading other stories

and the sports section.

All the while as I sip my coffee – this is the only cup I drink for the day!

Recently – The Juice Plus Company released “LUMINATE”!

All are made from natural flavors from BERRY and MANGO

and flavored with other NATURAL FLAVORS!

The above ingredients of “LUMINATE” are low in calories!

Just a glass of water – around 8 oz.

Pour in the packet and stir until dissolved –

Then drink – I set a timer for 30 minutes to see if I could detect an “EFFECT”!

I sipped it until it was gone!

These are all plant-based ingredients-

And I did feel for me a more clear-headed – alert effect!

And it lasted for hours!

The above is what has been noted in this drink –

and I can say yes to the above.

NO GMO Ingredients – and it is GLUTTEN free!

Here is the glass of water and one packet poured in and mixed up to sip – and it tastes good!

If you would like to have this in your daily consumption –

Contact us at WWW.SFitzsimmons.JuicePlus.Com

Sherry and I have been distributors for the JUICE PLUS COMPANY for 18-plus years.

You can also contact me directly by email – fitztdf@aol.com

PAPA’S WORLD – “BEING ALERT” – LUMINATE!!!!!!!!!!

Papa’s World – A great day to be alive!

Papa – this picture was taken shortly after my Heart Attack

but before my FOUR BY-PASSES OPEN HEART SURGERY!

I really should not be here – I had a 100% blockage and three other partials!

I made it because in my mind I had changed my eating habits and “GONE HEALTHY”

Eight years before. The damage of slow arteries becoming clogged –

was 40 years in the making!

And in that journey – my wife convinced me to take a supplement –

which through research in major medical facilities worldwide –

showed that arteries could be opened by taking a combination of BERRIES!

I am convinced had I not changed – I would have died that day!

Today – ” IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE” ten plus years later!

Not only being gratefully for our lives in serving humanity – but literally for my HEART!

We continue our journey – walking every day – twice a week –

Tuesdays and Thursdays – at the Brunswick Senior Center –

Participating in “GERIFIT” for Seniors!

A 45-minute exercise class that goes on every second working on all your muscles

in your body and balance – strength and being flexible!

We eat as healthy as we can –

still, take our daily supplement of “FRUITS – VEGETABLES – BERRIES and OMEGAS”

ALL PLANT BASED!

It is truly “A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE”!

A little humor along with a great feeling!

Just being here knowing that the % of not being here was very large –

I beat death – I had the help of the one I love –

I shall always remember that.

Forty-two years ago she said yes – and then ten-plus years ago – with her help –

I beat death.

I am forever grateful.

Yes – today “IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE”!

PAPA’S WORLD – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog

IT’S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!

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

GOOD MORNING

We took a little trip to Winchester Va.

To meet up with our granddaughter & her mother

to celebrate the granddaughter’s birthday !

Linda and Sherry

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 !

The whole concept is NATURAL !

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’sWorld – Yosemite – natural wonders – El Capitan

Cindy & Buck

Once again I drive – up and up – hairpin turns –

We are going to Yosemite –

Cindy – Sherry and Buck

The drop offs are a thousand feet –

There are no guard rails – the berm drops a foot

and then it is straight down !

Cindy and Sherry
later we would drive on the road at the bottom

There is no other way to describe it – 15 MPH is too fast !

I would constantly pull over at the spots to pull over to let traffic pass !

They would take the turns in the other lane –

Too many in hurry – unsafe drivers out there !

Sherry – with a wonder in back of her

In the distance you can see El Capitan –

Site of the movie FREE SOLO !

President Roosevelt

This pristine area has been preserved for one reason –

President Roosevelt !

NEW MEMORIES OF THE PAST!

Papa’s World – healing – what you eat – is who you are.

It is really hard to maintain that habit –

There are so many distractions – so many smells –

Just out walking – the smells of early morning –

we live in a very diverse neighborhood –

and you can smell the cooking for meals as you walk.

And it is mouth watering !

With me – I have given up fast food – milk – ice cream – soda –

I try not to eat red meat –

I stick mainly to chicken and fish.

Small amounts and not everyday.

I like Tuna in a can – solid white packed in water.

I like raw carrots – radish – cuke’s and tomato’s.

I rarely eat processed meat or cheese.

My wife Sherry is a certified health coach –

she watches over me –

we try as often as we can to walk three miles

BUT NOW THE COLD IS HERE.

So- we walk the Mall or go to our health fitness center.

I could live in flip flops the rest of my life –

I am not a snow – ice or cold weather person.

Getting older – watching steps and stairs –

not walking on ice –

And smelling the food where ever you go.

IT CERTAINLY IS NOT EASY !

But – we have to do it !

We are aging – but our goal is to age healthy –

WE ARE WHAT WE EAT !

Papa’s World – High and Low Tides – exceptional.

October is the month for exceptional HIGH and LOW tides!

I did not know that!

No – I did not go to this extreme to see where the tide came up to.

But – from our Lanai one half mile away –

we could hear the BOOMING of the Surf!

So – Sherry looked it up and sure enough

we were in this week of very high and low tides!

So – we went for our daily walk in the morning

Just after high tide had been there

and I captured this photo!

HIGH TIDE CAME UP TO THE BOTTOM STEP

OF THE LIFEGUARD CHAIR! WOW!

And then in the afternoon – I snapped this picture

looking back toward the mainland

and down the beach – that same chair would of been

where the light colored sand is!

This was not even LOW TIDE YET!

I guess this happens once a year in October!

ME AND MY SHADOW!

This beach is very wide normally

during normal tides

and very flat and hard surface

you can wade way out if you want

not me – I saw a sand shark caught

within 20 yards of the beach!

Papa’s World – RAINBOW – Over Brambleton

GOOD MORNING

A couple days ago – Sherry was working for Tammy –

And I was watching Bode –

It had been raining and I glanced out the back window

to the East –

and saw a sight I never get used to –

A RAINBOW !

RAIN BOW OVER
BRAMBLETON VA.

Everything was fresh and clean from the Rain –

Even though we have a irrigation system

The lawn and trees and flowers

always react much better to natural rain fall.

The RAINBOW is a extra offshoot of refreshing rain.

RAIN BOW OVER
BRAMBLETON VA.
I called Bode over to look and he was like
That is so cool Papa !

RAIN BOW OVER BRAMBLETON

WHERE FRIENDS MEET FAMILY

THANK YOU !

Papa’s World – Our LIFE and TIMES together!

One of our many TEAM TRAVEL SOCCER trips with Maddy –

here Ella was not old enough yet –

but she went on to play also

and became a three-year starter in college and team captain,

with one more year to go!

Maddy finished her college career as third and second-team all-conference –

and team captain in her Senior year –

In four years her team went twice to the NCAA Division III National tournament!

MEMORIES OF OUR LIFE AND TIMES FROM THE PAST!

For nineteen-plus years –

Sherry and I have been distributors

and partners in the Juice Plus Business.

This has earned us a residual income over those years –

in addition to Pensions – 401K and Social Security –

It has made our life

and we can live our dreams.

It is a great business that can be done from home

and either part-time or full-time!

THE COST – $50.00 a year and you get your own website!

There is no collecting money – shipping or distributing.

I wish someone had shown this to us 13 years prior –

it has been around 32 years –

and is sold nationwide

and in over twenty countries worldwide.

Our little business has spread all up and down the East Coast

and we have made so many new friends-

and helped so many families –

with health and nutrition!

OUR LIFE AND TIMES TOGETHER – email: fitztdf@aol.com

Sherry walking the beach with granddaughters –

love this – and family is very important to us!

BEACH LIFE HAS NOW BECOME OUR LIVING DREAM!

OUR LIFE AND TIMES TOGETHER!

While living close to Washington, D.C.

we would often either drive in or take the Metro to the ballpark!

We became NATIONALS fans when they moved there from Montreal-

and played in the old RFKstadium –

rocking the concourse and watching the games!

OUR LIFE AND TIMES TOGETHER!

Our forever friends –

Dottie and Jim and Buck and Cindy-

We are all now retired

and still enjoy great times together –

laughing and playing golf.

We now all live in the state of N.C.!

OUR LIFE AND TIMES TOGETHER!

It has been a wonderful fulfilling life –

FRIENDS – FAMILY and GOOD TIMES!

OUR LIFE AND TIMES TOGETHER!

Papa’s World – Early memories in pictures!

Flashback to 2005 – our journey together began at NBC for your HEALTH in the convention center-

in Washington, D.C.

This is another vendor booth –

Here we found a supplement that I have not lost one day in taking for 19 years!

We have done dozens and dozens of booths at fairs for health as far South as Florida!

Being as healthy as we can and aging healthy has been a priority for both of us as –

We are both 75 years old!

Every day our bodies receive directly into the bloodstream – NUTRIENTS –

From 30 FRUITS – VEGETABLES – AND BERRIES in addition to OMEGAS made from

ALGAE and not FISH OIL and eliminates MERCURY from our bodies!

All of the above are produced on farms managed by producers for THE JUICE PLUS CO.

and NO PESTICIDES – tested FIVE TIMES for purity.

Here is Sherry who is an SSC for the company – at one of the dozens of vendor shows we have done.

AGING HEALTHY AND LOOKING AS YOUNG AS WE CAN AFTER 75 YEARS!

At 75 years old and going strong – Papa and Sherry share the dream of COASTAL LIVING in OIB!

FOR MOE INFO go to http://www.SFitzsimmons.JuicePlus.Com her website – no obligation-

just check it out and email for additional information and cost!

Before we moved to Cameron Woods Community – we lived in Loudoun County –

Just West of Washington, D.C., and near the Dulles Airport!

Because I did not run – I like walking –

Sherry did 5K’s!

She has always liked to run and here is her award for running the 5K –

Living life to the plus and living healthy through her supplement business – JUICE PLUS!

Given time – effort and comfort to those less fortunate – a MOTTO we live by!

The early years of Marcus and Tammy –

Though time has gone by – they still adore each other-

Now – three children – the twins Taylor and Cassidy and our family-only grandson – Bode –

They – the grandkids call Sherry – MORMOR – MOTHERSMOTHER! SWEDISH!

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

Sherry and Papa – this Valentine’s day.

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!

SHERRY and PAPA

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 – My early years after H.S.

Eldred, Pa. Sits among the foothills of the ancient Allegheny Mountains!

About six miles to the border of New York State and Olean-Portville and Allegheny, N.Y.

Also this area in the ancient past – was part of the Seneca Indian Nation!

The Kinzua Valley and Chief Cornplanter –

Salamanca, N.Y. is now the reservation and has its own casino!

My early years were full of softball – basketball and football.

I also started golfing when I was ten years old –

my father had a family membership at Smethport Country Club.

My brother and I would go with him and he would send us off in front of his foursome.

Those early years of golf –

I did not know WHAT I was doing-

and of course, I used the old baseball swing!

Mike – my younger brother –

well, he was always breaking something –

He broke both arms at the elbow at different times.

One – he played he was shot and fell off a small roof –

at a neighbor’s house and his elbow hit a stone birdbath –

shattering the elbow and requiring surgery –

He had a pin in the elbow and his arm when held straight out – well the elbow was odd –

Sort of off-center.

Then later he fell off the railing on the front porch-

and hit his other elbow on a six-by-six –

and I will be darned – did the exact same thing!

Now – he playing golf – because of how his arms were when straight out –

he could drive a golf ball-

straight down the fairway and boy could he hit it.

This was back in the late 50’s and early 60’s –

He could drive past the old number one green at Smethport!

That is easy over 300 yards.

He became a scratch golfer and an excellent golfer in our area –

Gene Fasio –

once said to me –

“IF I HAD YOUR BROTHER’S DRIVES AND HIS OWN SHORT GAME – HE WOULD TURN PRO”!

Me – I still struggle hitting it straight –

although I am better now than I ever was!

I never went to Bradford, Pa. much –

I always got the feeling in H.S. – better to stay away from

all those Bradford lads!

Olean – that is where I went to work at 18 years old – June 5th. 1967.

Little did I know I would end up working for the same company for 47 1/2 years!

Those early years – 6 1/2 years to be exact –

I worked on the second shift –

3:00 PM. to 1:00 AM.

We had no breaks –

we “ARE ON THE FLY” as they say –

taking a break or lunch when we could.

We would all gather together on the back deck in Body Prep – there were four of us.

For 15 or 20 minutes we ate our dinner and then back to work –

We worked 10 hours and were paid two hours O.T. each day!

Back then – I was making $1.72 an hour and that O.T. was a lifesaver!

Then I bid on a job in the same department-

only on the first shift –

and continued the 10-hour days for another three years!

During my early time there I made many – many friends and it was an enjoyable time of my life.

But – my early life of marriage started to have cracks –

After a couple years on the day shift-

and in the Shipping department – I got a divorce.

I then met Sherry – and we have been married for 42-plus years!

On our wedding day June 25th. – 1982.

My early years were full of so many people and things we did –

Today – we are in our dream place living our life to the plus –

eating HEALTHY – Taking our supplements for close to 19 years.

PAPA’S WORLD – MY EARLY YEARS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL!

Papa’s World – Better Health and weight loss!

My journey to better health and trying to maintain and lose weight is years into a better life journey!

All my life I have battled the weight gained – even staying at the same weight is very hard for me!

On top of all that – I am diabetic – and have to watch the sugars – starches –

I am on Metformin – and currently at 6.7% ALC and Glucose at 115!

My GP wants me “DOWN” to 6.5 or below and Glucose under 100!

On the Plus side – my Cholesterol is 108 – my Triglycerides – are 81 and HDL – is 33.

My VDL Cholesterol is 10 – my LDL Cholesterol is 59 and my LDL Cholesterol is 59!

My weight as of this blog is up and down – 189.6 lbs. to 192.4 lbs. every day!

NOTE: I graduated from H.S. in 1967 at 195 lbs.

I see my GP every four months for blood tests – I consume hardly any sugars –

I do not like hard candy and if I have cake – I do not eat the frosting!

I have for almost nineteen years taken a Food Supplement called JUICE PLUS.

This is where every day I get absorbed into my bloodstream –

nutrients from 30 different FRUITS – VEGETABLES and BERRIES!

All are grown on their own controlled farms with no pesticides.

I also take every day OMEGAS – four different kinds from ALGAE and not fish –

grown on The JUICE PLUS farms – no toxics or fish oil or mercury.

My journey is ongoing – each day – my day starts with coffee – one cup –

yes, I know caffeine may not be beneficial – so I limit it – I drink water the rest of the day.

NO SODA – NO DAIRY(milk) – very little butter or oils,

And I have cut drinking down to be – well – if we are by ourselves weeks at a time – no alcohol.

Going out by ourselves – maybe a draft beer – but most of the time water or unsweetened tea.

Even getting together with neighbors or friends – I have tended not to drink.

I also drink a SHAKE every day if I can – made out of COMPLETE – a product of JUICE PLUS.

A powder – French Vanilla or Dutch Chocolate –

I add crushed ice – water and a cup of Almond milk.

Put it in a blender and mix until the ice is gone –

This I substitute for a breakfast or lunch meal.

It gives me plant-based protein and a host of nutrients.

Eating as healthy as I can has given me control over my weight gain and loss each day.

In the four years I have done this on my own –

I have gone from 205 lbs. to the current 189.6 lbs. thru the 192.4 lbs. daily.

A gradual decline over the years.

This formula has worked for me in keeping it off and of course, there are times I treat myself!

Going out to eat – I almost always look for salads and add on of chicken or salmon.

But – there are times I splurge and cheat a little!

With friends cheating with ICE CREAM which I love – but this is rare –

My journey is my own – with help from my wife Sherry who also has her own journey of better health.

She is a tall woman – and watches what she eats every day and also for almost nineteen years-

has taken the health Supplements of Juice Plus and Omegas.

She also does a shake every day and a drink she makes to clean out the impurities – cleansing as she calls it – from both of our bodies.

We are both 75 years old – living life to the plus one day at a time.

My hope is this can bring hope to those who struggle every day being a part of the Baby Boomers –

and SENIOR population!

Our journey is not simple – but it is real –

I strive to age as healthy as I can into old age.

Papa’s World – “RETIREMENT” going really FAST!

The home we built to retire in – Brambleton, Va. – just behind the Dulles Airport!

It has been over twelve years for Sherry ( she retired early ) and ten years for me!

We had thought that we would retire in this community in Loudoun County –

But a few things happened.

Our youngest daughter and her family who lived a mile from us – MOVED – not far –

some 16 miles away – but you have to understand – we picked up the granddaughters

every day after school – and there were days we had Bode when he did not have pre-school.

We would walk to their home and they would ride bikes with their parents to our house.

Overnight stays were common – trips to the community pools –

We were involved daily and that changed.

You might say – Well we could drive there – but when you are a senior – TRAFFIC bothers you!

And NVA has traffic – and they are just crazy!

We did not like having to drive that distance after being able to walk to their home.

I know – that is selfish of us – and we loved their new home and they loved being in a single-family home with neighbor kids and country living!

Once there – it was so nice – and to be truthful – our neighborhood was what I call a –

“GARAGE DOOR NEIGHBORHOOD”

It goes up when they leave for work – closes and opens again

when they return and closes again.
that’s it!

Outside of a couple neighbors – we had no close friends – it was always in transition.

A beautiful place – a growing community – four High Schools and only one when we moved there.

Our home was beautiful – we walked the fifteen miles of trails daily.

I would sit daily in retirement on the front porch and see dozens of people walking or biking by –

But I knew none of them!

I spent my time grooming the yard – we planted flowers that came back each year –

I hand-dug and planted three Crepe Myrtles and three green-type trees that went straight up

by the fence – I had a wild strawberry patch that the twins would sit down and eat one by one.

Cassidy would tell me how soft the grass was on her bare feet and how cool it felt in the shade.

Living here in retirement was our goal when we built it – we watched as the neighborhood

grew and grew – expanding – schools being built –

a complete town was built with a bank – markets – stores – theater – library and multiple restaurants.

A fifteen-acre park with basketball courts – tennis courts – playgrounds at different sites –

a large pond and huge boulders with waterfalls.

Three community pools were opened.

A sports complex – ball fields soccer fields and cricket fields were submitted and the over 200-acre park with all this was completed after we left!

Brambleton was and is now a destination point for people who work in D.C.

And the Metro came after we moved!

The Washington Commander’s headquarters was five miles away.

We could have driven three miles – hopped on the Metro and went into D.C. or got off at the Dulles International Airport to fly out!

After a short one-half-hour drive we were in the famous “HORSE COUNTRY” of Middleburg –

Where Jackie Kennedy rode horses and Christopher Reeves fell and became Paralyzed.

Then the second reason happened in our retirement – the bottom fell out of the stock market –

The 401K dropped like a lead balloon – it burst!

We lost and we lost big time – 33% disappeared overnight!

We still had our pensions – small as they are – our lifeline Social Security –

which after 79 1/2 years between us we paid into instead of wages and benefits – AND EARNED!

And we had Sherry’s home-based business going on 19 years –

with a monthly income – The Juice Plus Company has been very good for us!

We could survive but it was very expensive – where we lived –

the highest per income in the country!

BUT – the housing market took off and we gained what we lost in the 401K back in the house.

TIME TO SELL AND MOVE!

We would leave our families – but only be a seven-hour drive away –

and go to warmer weather!

The area we had always liked was the area of Wilmington, N.C.

and South of that!

I started to google and found a condo in Ocean Keyes , North Myrtle Beach – S.C.

That would give us time to research and find a place to live!

This was the two reasons we decided to sell and move South – leaving family and friends.

Our journey into retirement had its dreams and pitfalls – but we found our end of the rainbow-

I hope this gives inspiration to those who go into retirement and have to make changes.
