In NMB – we walked the beach every day – here – it is four miles away so it is just easier to walk the neighborhood.
But – every so often we head to the beach and I think we should do this every day!
The water is so warm – but that brings in the Jellyfish – so they have purple flag warnings!
We went to Lynchburg Va. to watch our grand daughter play soccer.
Our oldest daughter – her husband and the three grand daughters
all were there – the next day we went for a walk along the river.
We watched the game Friday night in the rain – Maddy scored a goal
And the next day – after her practice – went for a walk along the river.
The girls are tall – Sarah seems like she will be the tallest as she is only 14.
But – when we were home at our other daughters house-
Taylor who is only ten years old – is already 5′ 1/2″ tall!
I think she will be the tallest along with Bode.
Our walk lasted a couple hours
as we were going for a late lunch and a early dinner
We walked – a fun walk – a lot of laughter!
It was a fun afternoon – a break from the rain – warm enough when walking
to enjoy the time together.
LOVE!

And – I can see why! This is 8 miles from our new house – Ocean Isle Beach is 4 miles.
They are as different as day and night!
Here – it is calm most of the time – with the wide level expansive beach.
Ocean Isle is not as level – and also the waves are larger.
Sunset is more residential while Ocean Isle is more commercial.
Both have piers and free parking and paid parking.
Pam had surgery on her ankle a year ago – so she decided to not walk with us – we decided to walk to the North End!
WALKING SUNSET BEACH, N.C. with our friends – health and nutrition – HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
It was a nice rain – lasting maybe a hour.
Enough so everything looked fresh and clean and it was a warm rain – 75 degrees at day break!
We had the afternoon sunshine and warming up to 82 degrees!
The water has remained warm also at the ocean.
Making it a perfect way to walk the surf and beach!
Now that we are settled in and almost all of the repairs we listed have been completed
we are trying each day to go to the beach to walk!
It is so relaxing – and there are still people renting homes here!
We at the time I write this – almost one third of the way through October!
And it has been really beautiful weather –
low 70’s at night – 82 to 84 degrees and sunshine in the daytime!

It was a beautiful sun rise – the best I have yet to see here!
Everything was quiet – except the birds!
I went back inside and grabbed my phone to take a few pictures.
The sun comes up right there and that is where the Ocean is some three miles away.
We get really fantastic cloud formations from here and to the West.
It will be a good year and half before they have built out – but most of that is away from us!
Each week more and more homes close – and people are moving in.
And I am surprised how easy it is to leave the Cameron Woods community and get onto the main road.
It is a good half mile stretch or 3/4 mile in both direction and is straight so you can see.
Only once have I had to sit and wait and that was only a minute of two.

The tree is in line with the one in front which is a white Crepe Myrtle – we wanted color in the back.
The lanai – which is screened in – and we will be able to view the two trees from inside.
This tree line is protected and will stay there. Pine straw and flowers are what I plan for this area.
It is a work in progress – planting flowers – we love to plant flowers that return each season.
Much as I did at the old house in NVA!
In my mind I picture a bird bath here and a bird feeder. And on one of those big trees – one of those faces –
with eyes and nose and a smile!
Perhaps larger flowers that come back year to year.
We have this view from the lanai and the open patio and firepit.

This is where it all begins each morning.
Sunrise – a cup of coffee
the stillness of nature
and – when we are dressed early
out the door and down the elevator
to begin our walking loop
of three plus miles!
We had excellent trails where we lived
some 18 miles
here we have discovered numerous ways to walk
and they all end up taking us to the Ocean and Beach!
We have managed to get at least a mile of beach walking
incorporated into our three mile walk.
This walk was 3.36 miles!
And once on the beach – we can go in either direction.
We have found routes in both directions!
I love walking in the early mornings.
And as you can see – it is nearly deserted!
Walking early after I have had my coffee –
listening to the early morning sounds
and the waves lapping against the shoreline!
Once again – the walk on the beach
leaving to start back home
that part of the walk over
One final moment – one final glimpse
only to be repeated the next day.

This is along the sidewalk outside the fenced in yard – almost everything here comes back every year!
They have irrigation out here as well in the enclosed yard. It is shaded by Cypress trees –
and it is a inkling to what is inside the fence!

This is all part of the Shenandoah Museum complex in Winchester Va. A hiking trail – through the woods.
The pathway is very wide – I would guess eight feet and all made up with crushed limestone! There are benches to sit on the entire walkway – and areas to sit quietly – a really nice walk and easy on the feet!

They have been missing for about five weeks – I would catch a glimpse of them to the left of the lanai
Around the bend and through the shrubs and trees – once in a while
Sometimes I would mistake them for the lone swan –
But then I would see it futher down the lake.
Thought maybe they had a nest and were nesting little ones back in the marsh.
But – there were no babies and the geese have tons of babies –
So – I do not know why they disappeared and seemed to glimpse them every once in a while through the trees.
That part of the lake is undeveloped and is marsh – swamp – trees and water – not the type of place you want to wade
through or even boat in there – at least I wouldn’t!
I was disappointed in no baby swans but happy in that the were back!
They still would have nothing to do with the lone swan.
This is as close as they would let it come!
Then – last week – a man showed up in a small skiff – he comes once in a while to fix the fountains –
the one we see that is close to us in the middle of the lake – gets clogged up and quits –
I have watched him a half dozen times come in and go to it and unclog it!
This time as he was coming down the lake – I watched the two swans take flight –
beating their wings against the water and become airborne –
they circled around and headed over the houses to the left –
There is another lake over there – I think they went there as they were frightened by the man and boat.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – the one swan remains – mingling in with the ducks – mallards and geese.
I have seen turtles by the hundreds – a otter – some very large fish – a eagle several times -osprey – cranes – herons – egrets – storks –
And the three swans when all here.
A place that when you wake up with the sliding glass doors open – you hear the songs of the birds.

Usually – we do not walk this early – but I am a early riser – 5:00 am. each and every morning!
I have been that way my entire life – but I also go to bed early – by 8:30 pm.
I react to what my body wants – if I go past that feeling of wanting to sleep – then I am awake for hours!
But – with that being said – my body automatically awakes the same time every morning!
And then – without proper sleep – I feel lousy all day!
Wide open beach – low tide – gray – white clouds – blue skies and warm sun!
My kind of day!

Morning sunrise – calm – warm – partial clouds – then blue skies – a start of a beautiful day!
It started out with sunshine and we walked the beach – and the neighborhood –
But – the storm was out there – coming up from the South – West!
We did get all our steps in and had dinner – a beautiful day here in S.C. North Myrtle Beach – Ocean Keyes!
The sky turned from blue to gray – clouds were rolling in – thunder and lightening!
The wind picked up – Sherry started to go out the front door – the side of the condo the storm was coming from!
She had a hard time holding the door so she closed it!
This was the first real storm in the day light we have had since being here!
I have to admit – it got a little bit scary!
The wind just whipped the rain almost sideways!
I do like a good storm to fall asleep with – lightening – thunder and rain – but can do without the wind!

She said to me after about a hour – you can not lean back in this chair and take a nap!
And she was right – while we had different chairs – you couldn’t in mine either!
Music to the left and music to the right – I just turned it off!
Depending on the wind – I could hear one or the other and with no wind – Both!
We decided to stay for two hours and then we added another hour,
Since we had eaten almost everything we had brought with us –
We decided that was enough and went back to the car –
Yes – instead of walking down – we drove only because we had our chairs-
speaker – drinks – little table and the food and towels!

We knew Ocean Isle Beach was a eight minute drive from the new house- without heavy traffic.
Now – it was time to see just how far the other beach – Sunset Beach – was from the new house.
So – we drove and it was 13 minutes!
About five minutes longer in no traffic!
So – there you are – two beaches to choose from – and if we want – we can go back to NMB –
some 30 minutes away – with no traffic.
We checked out the parking as we understand that in the busy part – this could determine where we go!
They have pay parking – which you can pay a set price for the year –
and – like the other beach – off the road parking –
but we were told to be careful on that – if you do not do it right –
like blocking the bike path or sidewalk –
you will get a fine!
It was a very windy day on the sand – so we decided not to walk the beach –
but rather see where we can walk among the streets and houses.
We did find a path to walk – while not going on the sand –
and could see we could easily get our three mile walk in!

They all came this time – for almost a week’s stay –
Tammy and the little ones had come down for a long weekend
Now – it was Marcus time to see where we would be living!
Here we are on the ICW at Barefoot Landing!
We had met them here instead of the condo – for we knew the little ones would be hungry –
they had left NVA at 5:09 AM. and we were standing in the Parking lot at a little before noon –
Less that seven hours!
And we told them – it would be 45 minutes fewer that that at the new house!
Our goal was to keep the time traveled to less than seven hours
and for both sets of family’s it will be that!
The above picture is for both family’s as they love the tradition at Christmas time!
We planned to have a late lunch and early dinner at the new brewery
CROOKED HAMMOCK BREWERY – that had opened up a couple weeks earlier
outdoors – and they -Marcus and Tammy loved the draft beer!
Family is and has been important to us – both daughters followed us to NVA.
One was married with a small child ( Maddy)
And one met her future husband in NVA.
Walking to the beach – these two will one day be so tall – here she is 10 years old and he is 6 years old.
Sherry – a Swede – is 5′ 9″ tall!

Stay tuned for more in the next blog!
I decided that instead of one big walk for the day –
I would break it up and do several smaller walks
So I walked four times!
And it was a total of 6 1/2 miles!
This picture is of me after walking onto the beach.
It was a great walk and the sun came out making it warm!
I choose this entrance because I walked a new path
and it brought me to this street.
You see – every street here running West to East –
ends in a beach entrance and most have parking lots!
It was almost to low tide – not many people there!
Plus there is a boardwalk all the way back to the parking lot-
giving you time to clean off any sand in your shoes!

In this picture at the bottom of the lake – is a four story condo –
that is where we are renting until the end of June – 2021! TOP FLOOR !
We are in the middle with a full view of the lake!
There is a road way among the condo’s to the right – that is where we walk to the beach!
We walk this area over to main street – Duffy main street seafood and many other stores.
A short walk for us and right across the way from here is one of six pools!
We would of loved to buy one of these – but first there is a waiting list to buy
and second they were out of our price range!
We actually looked at one – it was well used as a second home and had to be completely redone on the inside
and did not have a view of anything other than some trees and bushes.
I have named the three white ducks – for my own amusement –
HUEY DEWEY LOUIE!
They are together constantly – where one goes – so do the other two – all across the lake.
I have never seen them up on our end.
And within twenty feet – was the LONE SWAN!
I have decided to name him – for my own amusement – ” DARTH VADER”!
He cruises the lake by himself –
and when he comes near – they scatter away from him.
He is a lonely white swan.
The other two will have nothing to do with him and will chase him away!
Even he will take off and fly away from them!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World – my walk back from the beach – Huey Dewey Louie and DARTH VADER!

We have known them for years as we all were members
of Community Lutheran Church back in Sterling Va.
They moved about six months before we did
and we visited them a year ago on our return trip from Florida.
A couple months ago – we had met half way for lunch
in Georgetown S.C.
This time – we played cards – put a puzzle together – played Rummikub
and took a walk on the beach!
It was a delighful day and night and following day
With lunch in Calabash
and a trip to see our house being built!

We ventured out and drove to Barefoot Landing – to let Sarah shop!
That is what she wanted to do the most beside walking the beach.
But – we decided since it looked really busy on the inside and outside
We would pass on this trip and go to a place that was not really that busy!
This was my first time seeing one here.
There were signs for this and snakes –
And at first we did not think it real as it was very still until it moved!
Hoping when the little grand kids come – we can show them a “GATOR”!
I actually like Barefoot Landing over Broadway on the Beach
which is in Myrtle Beach Proper.
We did do some shopping – well they did – I walked in – took a look around and went back outside to find a place to sit!
Sarah loved it here – her place to be – store to store!

He quietly came down the carpeted stairs –
and walked softly over to me where I was writing my blog.
Bode – six years old – our only boy – five grand daughters!
“How many sleeps are left Papa – before you go away”? he asked.
You see – every morning when we stay with them – before 6 am. down he comes.
“Will you walk to the bus stop with me Papa”?
He started a week ago going to actual school twice a week.
Three days at home virtual learning!
Two sleeps I answered and yes I will walk with you!
” I LOVE YOU PAPA”!
The twins – Cassidy and Taylor – have been in virtual learning the entire time
Making the choice not to go back to school –
They are thriving and doing really well!
They both are in the basement only in different rooms –
they help each other out – Cassidy will always go to Taylor if she does not understand!
I had no idea what the glasses were for – but was told –
“They are BLUE GLASSES Papa – to protect your eyes from the screen on the chrome book”!
WOW – they look so old in them!
He told us he liked school – does not know how many are in his class –
Does not know how many boys or how many girls are in his class!

We decided before a late lunch to walk the river trail in Lynchburg Va.
We had time to kill before eating a late lunch –
besides – Maddy wanted to get out into the open and walk
as she loves to hike even by herself!
After a couple miles we made it to the turn around
where this was as far as we would go even though it continued!
It was time to jump – act wild – and be funny!
Before heading back to the hotel and have a serious game of RUMMIKUB!

We had a fine day to be out and about – so we decided to show them some nature
As they are all about the outdoors!
We went back to Vareen Memorial Gardens –
just before you cross the state line into N.C. in Little River S.C.
Across the marsh and over the tidal canals –
at low tide – does not look so scary when empty!
We entered the trees and brush along a sand pathway – trail.
We had been here a couple times before
bringing family to explore and see the ICW and the beauty of a pristine nature walk.
The girls loved this as did Debby who is all about the outdoors and hiking!
We soon entered the trees and bush growth
it was shaded in here and I think would be welcomed in the S.C. heat of Summer!
One last walkway before entering the pine and cypress trees!
The path is marked – and branches off in all directions!
A shaded walk – can be a couple miles if you select the right path
We choose the shorter route – we had some more places to show them!
WE WILL BE BACK someday we told them!

PAPA’S WORLD – HIKING THROUGH VAREEN MEMORIAL GARDENS WITH FAMILY!
It has a way of pulling you – the sound – the air – and the chill!
We try to walk the beach every day – except during the rain!
I bundle up – because I do get cold easily!
They told me I would after I had my heart attack some 7 1/2 years ago.
And – that is true – I really do not like being cold!
So – this winter – I will take the chill – some rain – actually a lot of rain –
and some wind – but – I dress warm and toasty!
I have found – NO SNOW – NO ICE – can make up for that chilly air and wind-
as long as I am warm I can and do walk!
Sometimes we are the only ones out there!
We will try it until the wind drives us off –
Sand blowing in ones face and eyes – well – I can do without that!

We had been out shopping for furniture and were down in this area
by the Boardwalk on the Grand Strand.
We decided to stop back in –
and it was so windy and cold – we stopped our walk and went back to the car
and drove here instead of walking!
We had purchased furniture and needed to plan our second stop!
We had been here before and enjoyed it!
When we went in – we were the only people there!
We had the whole place to ourselves!

We awoke to a beautiful sunrise – a bit chiily –
But the forecast called for low 50’s but Sunny!
It makes a big difference with hardly any wind!
I have come to accept here in S.C. – that the day changes dramatically
the higher the Sun gets in the sky!
So – you prepare for the day – getting a mental image in your mind
dress in layers – drink your coffee or tea
and know that the day – will turn out okay!
So it goes – sunrise – sunshine – cool but no wind – warmth.
A fine day to be alive and a fine day to golf with friends!

But we braved the cold and started to walk –
at least the wind was not blowing –
But – there was no one!
As we walked in the solitude –
we both could hear what we thought was a plane!
As it got closer – we could see it was a huge helicopter!
If you look close you can see two men sitting in the back
with their legs hanging over the edge!
No way for me as heights and me do not mix!
One time I went to the top of the Empire State building
One step outside to the deck and I froze!
I had to go back inside and down as fast as I could.
No big cities for me as I fell like everything is closing in on me!
It was a memory I shall have for the rest of my life –
and this one was another one!
It was not going fast so we had time to take it all in
on a deserted beach on a cold day!

This is the view I saw in the ad for this rental!
This view sold us and we jumped on it right away!
Our view of the small lake –
Water fowl flying in and out!
There are six fountains that we can see!
Each at night is lit up!
This never gets old.
I will miss this when we move into our new house.
But – we will have enjoyed it for nine months!
We knew when we moved in October 1st. that we would be mostly alone-
that we would not be able to eat out –
but what we have here is the ability to walk!
Every day – we can walk different routes and still end up at the beach!

Walking the two third mile to the parking lot
You enter the steps and then the beach access across the dunes.
As you break over the dune – this is what you see!
But first you hear the breaking waves and the surf.
It is chilly – around 52 degrees – but to be able to do this each day –
it never gets old.
I do not like the cold – or snow – ice –
But – with layers on – I can walk as long as there are not strong gusts of wind!
After a walk in the afternoon on the beach –
it is time to go back to the condo.
Prepare for dinner – watch some net flex –
and then off to bed – as I am a early riser.
My alone time is 5:00 AM.
Where I work on my blogs – drink a cup of coffee –
read and delete my emails ( obsession – I do not like my page to be full)
And – now I await – that first hint of dawn –
The Sun rising and I drink my second cup while watching it!

We had passed the entrance dozens of times –
Sherry said we need to stop and see what is there!
So – on our way to our property – we stopped – just a few miles North of the border
of S.C. and N.C.
outside Little River S.C.
We parked – and there were clean johnny on the spots –
benches and tables – covered area to sit and eat.
Swings for kids and numerous trail heads.
We thought – we need to bring the kids here when they visit!
We picked a trail that took us toward the ICW!
Wanting to see the water way and the boats.
There were piers to walk out on and decks to sit.
We had forgotten to pick up a map of the trails
so we selected one and off we went.
Had no idea where it would go – we were exploring as we do all the time!
We continued on – checking our fit bits to see how far we had walked.
All the while staying on the path to the right as others branched off.
I could see across the marsh where we had started
and I could tell we were looping back toward the parking lot!
Next blog will be on some interesting finds we made!

Next blog – Making wishes – hang them from a tree!
This view is what first got my attention when I was looking for a place to rent!
I came across it and right away I called to Sherry –
“How would you like to live here for a while” ?
It took maybe one minute to decide – this is where we will go until we find another place!
We have now been here – at this time of writing – early January – some 13 weeks!
And – expecting our house to be done – the end of June!
The other reason is the walk to the beach –
a little over 1/2 mile and we are standing here.
Although the clouds roll in and out –
very few times have we not been able to walk with rain ruining it!
Plus – we are so close to other trails – nature – we can explore.
We are building a house – in the long run – it was about the same as buying one already built!
In our price range.
And – we will still be close to this – one half hour away!
The area we choose is in N.C. 15 miles away.
There we are close to two other beaches!
Ocean Isle Beach ( which is the address) and Sunset Beach.
Both about 4 and 6 miles away!
The skies here are wonderful – different each day – I always notice skies where ever we are!

Once again we celebrated a new year with friends.
Making sure we all were social distancing
before we met up – and the game was on!
THE GAME – golf – four strokes on the highest handicapped holes per side for the ladies.
Jim and I play from the yellows – Buck and ladies from the reds.
Front nine – with the handicap – 38 – 39 ladies! Par 36.
The second nine – 39 to 41 – guys! par 36.
When they are on – they are tough to beat – always down the middle.
The second day – same rules – front nine – 39 to 41 – guys!
Different course – and this was a day after playing a game called CATCH PHRASE!
Now – we just not seem to win at this! LOL!
Or the card game which Cindy overtook me on the last hand! LOL
The second nine – 40 to 44 – guys!
Finally – we were able to beat them after 18 holes the second day –
it had rained all night – course was so wet – you had to have a ball retriever
for the middle of the fairway!

Write happy thoughts!
Write about family & friends!
Write about each day in my life that I live!
You see my friends – in 2013 I suffered a heart attack!
Called ” A WIDOW MAKER” I should not be here!
http://www.sf.juiceplus.com MY WHY!
It is with in mind – I record our lives one day at a time –
hence my blog: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
In a little over one year – thanks to my wife Sherry –
I now have a following of 362 plus followers!
Of which I only know four of them!
The rest are from all over the USA and the WORLD!
Sherry is the driving force behind my blog –
” YOU HAVE TO WRITE AND PUT IT SOMEWHERE – A PLACE WE CAN FIND – WHEN YOU ARE GONE”
That is the reality and I am okay with it!
Each day I open the site – answer the comments and push on!
I include lots of pictures – they all tell a story.
Each day I start out not knowing what I will write about
I see a picture I have taken – a event we did – or where a day has taken us.
Then – I start – so far I have scheduled a month ahead in stories –
That way – is we are going someplace – all I have to do is share it to face book!
On here – it is automatically scheduled!

PAPA’S WORLD – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
When we were firs married – we went to the beach in the Outer Banks.
Our goal each year was to take the kids to the beach for vacation.
I always dreamed of one day – to somehow work close to the beach –
I would always say ” I am going to sell hot dogs on the beach – just so I could be there”!
Today – everyday where we are –
we are living that dream.
We sold our home back in NVA.
Along with most furniture
and are renting a condo in Ocean Keyes – North Myrtle Beach S.C.
And we walk 1/2 mile through the gated community – to the beach!
Anything in the Sun – mid 40’s to mid 50’s and no wind – I am for it!
But – snow – wind – ice (slip and fall) I am out of there!
So – we pulled the trigger – after we said to ourselves – we do not want to renovate at our age.
We want to live our remaining lives while we can –
playing golf – exploring and walking the beaches!
We made our selections before Thanksgiving – the paper work was done –
The deposit made – banking finalized –
And when we returned from NVA –
We went to the lot –
THE FORMS WERE IN TO POUR THE FOUNDATION!
Our dream is about to take place.
We have found our shopping stores – and are exploring the area –
Golfing is everywhere and the beach is four miles away!
We are on the mainland and cross the ICW to get to the beach.
Now – we will wait to get a close date-
we have to buy furniture and move from storage what we have left.
Our dream is about to become a reality – walking the beach – warm weather –
Thank you for reading Papa’s World –
our 2020 has been stressful with the Pandemic
our lives are changed and social distancing the norm.
But – our dream continues on –

This past year we have also had our blessings during the Pandemic!
Yes – we sold our dream home – BUT NOW ARE BUILDING YET ANOTHER ONE!
Yes – we left our family 450 miles to the North – BUT NOW THEY WILL BE VISITING!
Yes – we packed up Sherry’s office – BUT NOW WITH PHONE & COMPUTER –
SHE WALKS THE BEACH AND CONTINUES!
You see what I mean when we have our blessings!
We went to the new property after coming back from NVA
leaving the snow- ice and cold behind
and saw that they had the forms in ready to pour cement!
Then we walked the beach!
Blessings are where you put down roots!
Work is where you are and where you walk!
That is owning your own network marketing business!
A year in which we have a pandemic but also a year in which we have blessings!
We explore – we walk – we play golf –
we do not miss the cold – we miss the people!

Good morning – afternoon or evening!
Or just plain GOOD DAY!
Good day is what we had when the first morning of our friends stay-
we all walked to the beach – and it started to sprinkle
even though the Sun was shining!
The start of a fantastic three days was blessed with a RAINBOW!
Even though there was a light rain –
just enough to get you a little wet
we pushed on – to the beach!
A pathway – the sound of the surf – and toes in the sand!
The ocean and sand has a way of making everything okay!
The rain had stopped –
and it was warm – not cold – at least for people from the North
as we all are from NWPA and WNY!
We are seniors – well most of us are
but – we are aging healthy – all of us!
Walking the beach – first morning with friends
before a day of golfing and then dinner
This has been our life throughout the years
The beach is new – but the friends are ageless!
From one rain bow to one walk on the beach
A little rain – a lot of laughter
