Reflections on the “WALL” in D.C. –

Paul – Sherry and Jo –

Paul graduated from the same H.S. that Sherry did –

And Jo graduated from the same H.S. I did.

We have visited their home in Tuscon –

and they visited our home in Brambleton, Va.

Here we are on one of our trips into D.C.-

We spent days walking the city.

Sherry and Jo to her left in front of the famous unfinished statue of great women.

It is unfinished until we have a woman President.

Great friends whom we visit when we can and they in return visit us.

FRIENDSHIP MEMORIES!

Jo – Sherry and Paul – “REFLECTIONS”!

Bob – Papa – Pam and Sherry.

This friendship goes back to grade school with Bob and Myself.

We played sports together – and stayed at each other’s houses.

Drank beer together – roamed the streets of Eldred after curfew.

Today, they stopped in for a week while they were RVING –

across the country.

FRIENDSHIP MEMORIES!

Jimmy – grew up in the same town as I did.

We played softball together –

He worked at the TILE PLANT the same as I did.

We both transferred to the South in the same company.

He to Va. Beach and me to NVA.

Dottie – taking the picture – married to Jim –

I attended their wedding before I met Sherry –

Also, Cindy was friends with Dottie and –

later we moved and became neighbors with her.

Sherry – Buck and Cindy – married – and Dottie –

Our longest and closest friends.

Blessed to have them in our lives.

We have traveled the World with Buck and Cindy.

FRIENDSHIP MEMORIES!

Our new friends we have met here-

in Cameron Woods Community.

Daine – Marcea – Bill – Ken – Mary Lou and Sherry.

We have been fortunate to meet people in this new location.

FRIENDSHIP MEMORIES!

Papa’s World – Riding the METRO’S SILVER LINE!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

In October 2024 – we were in NVA at our daughter’s house-

We asked all three grandkids if they wanted to journey into D.C. –

on the METRO LINE!

Cassidy said no-

as she had cheerleading practice –

But Taylor and Bode were excited and –

we were off!

Here we just boarded the Silver Line in Ashburn –

About five miles from where we previously lived!

On our way,

we passed through the DULLES AIRPORT –

This was one of the stops.

So convenient if you are traveling by plane!

The grandkids were eying it all!

The ride in was a little over an hour long –

But so glad we did this as parking in D.C.-

was almost non-existent!

At each stop they could see where we were –

and then under the river!

We never had to depart –

except once when the bathroom was needed –

and we got right back on!

This section of the METRO was not open when we moved-

Although it had been built!

Papa’s World – Random pictures and the History Museum.

Bode and Taylor at the History Museum in Washington, D.C.

We ventured by Metro into D.C.-

with the two of them –

We walked and walked –

Showing them the sights.

We did this while living nearby for twenty years –

with family and friends!

They were so excited –

and not once did they complain!

Bode was fascinated with life thousands of years ago.

He was full of questions-

and Taylor had most of the answers! LOL

These are some of the pictures Taylor took!

There is so much to see –

and little time to spend.

We need to go back for a week –

and take in something different each day.

This was such a learning experience for both of them!

Big sister-

little brother –

something they shall remember for a lifetime.
