Papa’s World – My “WHY” I stay out of the surf!

LOL – INSTRUCTIONS – What are those?

My two sons-in-law – Marcus, Mike, and me!

Going to the beach when the grandkids were younger –

Mostly to the Outer Banks.

Beach time included multiple umbrellas and chairs –

Coolers and plenty of sunscreen.

Back then –

I normally went into the Surf and waves.

Today, I am a walker who gets my ankles wet, but that is it!

Maddy and Papa –

Standing in the surf before going farther out!

Those days for me are long past!

August of 2024 when Sherry and I turned 75!

We had a family “BEACH VACATION” on Ocean Isle Beach!

The FAMILY during that vacation.

Sherry and I have always leaned toward beach life.

Today – whenever we like –

We drive ten or so minutes and are on the beach.

But – getting back to the “WHY,” I only walk the surf today!

Go back to the picture of Maddy and me –

Waiting for the wave to break around us!

And this is the moment to hit us!

That was the day PAPA learned he was no longer young –

That Maddy ducked the wave-

And PAPA didn’t!

I HAVE LEARNED – STAY IN THE SHADE UNDER AN UMBRELLA –

LEAVE THE WAVES TO THOSE MUCH YOUNGER-

It is much safer for me to walk the beach and pick up trash! LOL

Papa’s World – A tropical storm – watching Ella play soccer!

The whole family made their way to Lynchburg, Va. To watch granddaughter Ella play soccer

during a Tropical storm!

We were standing in the rain – which sometimes poured but the game continued as there was no lightning!

Debby, Sherry, Marcus, Tammy, and Papa were above us!

The team huddled at the beginning of the second half – and it rained way beyond the end of the game.

Family cheering from above us – we were heard loud and clear!

The family huddled with umbrellas – alas they lost for the second time this year and the record stood at

5 wins and two losses!
