We traveled back to NVA to have Thanksgiving with the Myers family – as we will not see them for Christmas.
We stopped and saw the Krohn family on our way north and spent a night and day with them as they will come down after Christmas for a few days and be with us.
Our three oldest granddaughters – Sarah – Maddy and Ella in the sunroom – working on some crafts and laughing!
Debby – Mike and Sherry getting the dinner ready. It was the best-tasting turkey I have had in a long time and the stuffing was even better!
The three granddaughters set the table – the Tower Garden in the background – growing year around indoors!
Chef Mike prepared the turkey and then cut it up! I do not know what he stuffed it with – but it was really juicy!
Ella – home from Randolph College – Sarah – A Sophomore in H.S. and Maddy – A Senior at The University of Lynchburg.
Debby lighting candles at the table for Thanksgiving dinner. Time for giving family thanks.

PAPA’S WORLD – THANKSGIVING WITH FAMILY AT LAKE HOLIDAY, VA. THE MYERS FAMILY!
In Cameron Woods Community – Ocean Isle Beach – N.C. – there will be a lot of firsts!
COCKTAILS in the driveway – lunch at Riversedge golf course – picnic at the park.
The new book readers club and in the future the free book exchange library!
And now a new developer!
We have been sold to LENNAR – the number two developer in the country!
Things have changed and they are known for building spec homes – you get limited choices!
Different elevations – and one price has it all!
Whereas we were able to select almost everything! ( we are happy to have already built!)
We are hoping by Easter the community center is done! At least the main building!
Our new community center – slowly being built – the curbs have just been laid – pickleball courts are paved – and the pool has been in the ground for months – waiting to be finished!
It will be here that we will all come together as a community of neighbors – meetings – lunches and dinners. The free book library will be out front by the road somewhere I presume for access to exchange the books. We can walk to this easily! A workout room and kitchen and bathrooms.
And this year for the very first time – three families got together on Thanksgiving day – to walk!
8:30 AM. = we all met at the intersection of Waterway and Lindley – it was cool but bright sunshine –
led to a warm 3.7-mile walk!
The very first TURKEY TROT WALK-RUN!
A big thank you to Rob – who organized it by simply announcing it on the Community Facebook page!
And YES – the picture of the TURKEYS are from the neighborhood – on the cul-de-sac behind the
new community center -taken a few days before by Sherry!
The Zimmermans – the Sopers – and Fitzsimmons families!
We have heard from others who were away and could not join us in the first neighborhood
THANKSGIVING TURKEY TROT!
But – will walk next year!
We are a transit community – many people have this as a second home awaiting retirement.
A lot of people are here but working from home.
And a few of us old-timers ( us) are retired!
I think Sherry and myself are more the Grandma and Grandpa of the neighborhood! LOL
It is a community of many FIRSTS – waiting to be completed in a couple years.
CAMERON WOODS COMMUNITY – OCEAN ISLE BEACH – come and join us – either if you already own here or want to build in the new Phase Three!
Cocktails in the driveway – picnic at the park – lunch meet and greet at the golf course
and now the first TURKEY-TROT-WALK!
Chrismas caroling is in the works and who knows what else is being talked about!

PAPA’S WORLD – CAMERON WOODS COMMUNITY – OCEAN ISLE BEACH – N.C.
Sherry Dottie Jim Buck Cindy Papa – at Wild Wings in Barefoot Landing – to watch the Buffalo Bills football game – they put on special for us TWO TV’S!
It was a long – long time ago that Sherry and I were Bill’s fans!
Back in the late ’80’s to late ’90’s!
But then we moved and for three years we hung on –
But – to watch them we had to travel some 30 miles –
In D.C. traffic to find a sports bar that would show the games!
Sherry and Dottie
‘We eventually adopred the Washington DC team as EVERYTHING
was all about them – newspapers – radio – TV – and people!
Yes – we became fans – but our hearts where still BILL’S fans.
We would cheer for them from a distance.
However – our very close friends are still and have been
BUFFALO BILL’S fans – watching them every Sunday!
Barefoot Landing North Myrtle Beach S.C.
We searched out the area – and found several sports bars
a couple were Bill’s Bars – but I found out they would be packed
and they were small venues –
NO SOCIAL DISTANCING there even if we tried!
Speak no evil – see no evil & hear no evil!
Sherry and I had checked out Wild Wings the week before
and come to find out – THREE of their employees
had graduated in 2016 from the very H.S.
in the place we raised our families –
The McBrides and us –
PORTVILLE N.Y. !
Sherry Dottie Cindy
That was a omen for us and we went with it !
Plus – it was very large inside –
plenty of places to sit and they put two TV’s on with the Bill’s Game!
We did our morning walk on the beach –
then drove the less than twenty minute ride
and arrived about 1/2 hour before game time!
Cindy and Buck
We gave our orders to start out with and settled in!
Papa Jim Buck
We watched the game – the whole game from there!
22 oz. drafts and all!
It never got crowded – for this is a Brown’s bar –
we knew that ahead of time –
but they had a bye week!
Success – the BILL’S MAKE YOU WANT TO SHOUT! OH MY!!!!!
