Papa’s World – Supplies for Helena!

The weather turned cooler – here in OIB –

it was 55 degrees before the Sun came up!

It is the mountains of WNC –

It was colder –

and many sheltered in tents!

Our friends in Hickory, N.C. –

selected coats – sweaters – anything to warm those in need!

They purchased from Goodwill – took donations –

and delivered them in their vehicles to counties –

The operation at the airport had slowed down –

due to the facilities being stocked.

The need for warm clothing –

And a way to get it there –

Fell to Linda and Pat –

to deliver what they could to five counties!

Our own OIB-Sunset Beach area also slowed down.

Where we were sending the donations –

had become stocked.

The devastation remained –

Our mission was coming to a close!

One final push –

One final drive into the mountains –

by Linda and Pat!

Bringing needed supplies-

We have done what we could,-

and now it is wait and see!

But at least –

There will be warm clothes for some.

Papa’s World – Being warm in the Sunbelt!

Even though the skies are gray –

storms are brewing –

windy – IT IS WARM!

I had open heart surgery ten-plus years ago –

And ever since then –

the cold has bothered me.

At night – I use an extra blanket –

When we walk in the Winter months –

I am bundled up with my jacket – scarf and gloves –

Even though everyone else isn’t.

So – I no longer want ice –

snow or cold

I will take warm – warm and warmer!

Visit NVA where we lived for over twenty years!

Yes – it was hot and muggy there –

but back on the East coast of N.C and S.C. –

with the breeze from the ocean –

IT WAS GREAT for me!

OIB from the Causeway Bridge over the ICW!

I lived for fifty-plus years in NWPA and WNY-

in the snow belts.

I shoveled my share of snow –

slipped and drove on ice –

Huddled up inside during a freezing Day-

on the end of bitter cold.

Worked outside –

navigated snow drifts –

I HAD ENOUGH OF THAT!

I do not own a snow shovel,

which is fine with me! LOL

In Fall and Winter and early Spring –

I am fine with some extra clothing –

that comes off when I get warmed up!

LIVING IN THE SUNBELT – my way of life now!

I am blessed to have been able to do this –

and my wife to share it with.

Papa’s World – Life in the Carolinas!

Spending the holidays in the warm Carolinas – at least warm to me!

Even when it looks gray and drab – at least I see no snow and ice – sand and water are fine for me.

Open-air shopping at the Outlets – love having my coffee and sitting here while I wait for Sherry!

Our family visiting for vacations – brings us much joy – hoping they all come again!

Living in Carolina – nine miles to the border of S.C. living our dream life one day at a time!

Watching sunrise and sunsets from our front driveway – living the southern lifestyle – CAROLINA LIVING!

Golfing with friends – is always a pleasure – one of the WHYS we choose to move down here!
