Papa’s World – HARVEST GAP winery and brewery.

While home the last time – we went to a birthday party at HARVEST GAP – near Purcellville, Va. Out in the country on a large farm.

The entrance to HARVEST GAP – all items used for flower arrangements are farm related!

The farm equipment has been used and used for years and now is part of the ‘FEEL” of Harvest Gap.

This is part of a huge working farm – and was created by the family that operates the farm.

Unique ways to decorate the entrance – beautiful floral Arrangements – create a feeling of walking into a garden.

Pictures of the outside areas for eating and sipping wine or drinking beers from the brewery!

Inside the first room of the brewery and winery – all hand-crafted beams and rough lumber!

The middle room with another bar area and dance floor and stage – in the far back is the entrance to the third room shown in the first picture of this blog which is as big as the first two.

The third room was used as the BUFFET room for the private party.

How time has flown by –

It seems like yesterday – OUR TIMES IN PICTURES!

Papa and Sherry – when we lived in Brambleton, Va. We were close to the Metro!

Often times we rode it to the station near the baseball stadium –

We both are Washington Nationals fans and enjoyed many games together at the ballpark!

OUR TIMES IN PICTURES!

My grandson Ryan – who lives in Tenn. We do not see him often – but he has visited

and we have visited him and attended his wedding.

A fine young man!

OUR TIMES IN PICTURES!

When we sold our home in NVA – we wanted to be warmer and near the coast and beaches-

Here is one of two beaches we are minutes away from –

This is Sunset Beach and in the distance by the tall building – that is Ocean Isle Beach!

OUR TIMES IN PICTURES!

We also like to golf – and where we live – about 30 golf courses are nearby!

We purchase what is called “THE FIRST TEE” card –

We can play over 50 courses at reduced rates!

PAPA’S WORLD – OUR TIMES IN PICTURES!!!!

Papa’s World – celebrating our forty years with family – our anniversary.

Family – they all came to celebrate our anniversary of forty years.

Since we have moved to the border of S.C. and N.C. – we are 400 to 500 miles away from the family back in NVA!

We told them we were coming back for graduation and they made plans for a winery –

that we all could meet at for an afternoon including Marley – the Goldendoodle.

Marley was a hit – our son-in-law Mike is allergic to cats and dogs – but out in the open, he was okay.
The grandchildren and finally a boy – BODE!
The winery had big open spaces and we pretty much had this space to ourselves.

PAPA’S WORLD – celebrating our forty years anniversary

Papa’s World – A visit to Bluemont Station in the Shenandoah Mtns.

Good day, all – while back in NVA – we met the family at Bluemont Station winery and brewery – just off route 7 – in the mountains!

We came to celebrate my birthday and mothers Day with the Myers family – and Tammy – the youngest daughter.

We stayed at Tammy’s – to watch the young ones while she and Marcus go away for their anniversary.

She lives in Leesburg, Va.

Mike nd Debby live in Cross Junction – Lake Holiday the other side of Winchester, Va.

Debby – Tammy (sisters) Mike (Debby’s hubby) Sherry and Papa.

This is an old plantation going back to the early 1800s.

During the Civil War, it was crossroads for the armies of the North and South.

There were hundreds of chairs and tables outside and a full menu inside as well as wine and beer stations.

There are hundreds of chairs and tables outside!

This also back in the 1800s was a railroad hub –

A working plantation and a way station for travelers.

Looking through the glass doors to the inside where the main room has wine and beer and food and tables.

A view of the old plantation house and front and grounds.

Flowers abound and everything is lush and green – they just had completed a hundred-mile bike race through the mountain’s back roads!

Mother and daughters in front of an original part of the plantation!

Tammy – Sherry – Debby A VISIT TO BLUEMONT STATION IN THE SHENADOAH MOUNTAINS!

Papa’s World – When birthdays come in THREE’S – the final celebration – our patio – MEMORIES!

Celebrating the twin’s birthday and their mothers – all on the same day!

MEMORY – the twins came early – not by choice but the doctor said it was time at just 32 plus weeks.

It was by chance that the day he chose also happened to be the mother’s birthday!

MEMORIES of THREE BIRTHDAYS!

We moved from Great Country farm for the twins – to the winery of Bluemont.

The winery was for Tammy and family and friends – and we celebrated there for her.

Then – it was onto our home in Brambleton Va. to the patio for close friends and family.

Where we celebrated all three together with their presents.

The memory of family and close friends.

Maddy is the oldest and then Taylor the youngest – today Maddy is a junior in college – and I will post at the end a picture of them before Christmas.
MEMORIES

This was all back in 2012 – when they turned two.

Today – they are growing up so fast.

Ella is now the tallest – 5’10” and Maddy 5’6″ – Sarah is already taller than Maddy –

and soon Taylor at 11 years old will be taller than her!

MEMORIES of when they were all younger!

Today Tammy looks the same as she did then nine years ago.

We celebrate every year – all three of them together – bonded for life that way!

Thank you for reading – PAPA’S WORLD – MY BLOG: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog

MEMORIES are forever etched in my mind and blogs.

Taylor – Cassidy – Ella(hat) Maddy nine years ago!
Today – just before Christmas – Cassidy – Ella – Maddy – Sherry – Taylor – in PAPA’S WORLD!

Papa’s World – Family Krohn – two seasons – cold and warm – I LIKE WARM!

My season is WARM and WARMER!

Ever since I had my Heart attack some 7 1/2 years ago –

I get chilled very easy – even before I did not like the snow – ice and cold!

But – the families seem to like it – skiing – snowboarding and playing in the snow!

When we were back home for the Holidays – believe it or not – we went to a winery!

Where we had wine – snacks and a fire in a fire pit.

The pit was free and offered by the winery!

I bundled up and made it through -but by the end I was cold!

Here we are – outside – about 7 PM. – Marcus – Papa – Bode – Sherry – Taylor – Tammy – Cassidy!

I have to admit – it was unique – but I very seldom drink wine –

I just can not get into the dry wines!

Now – a sweeter wine I can sip on!

Sherry Cassidy Taylor – Tammy & Bode

What a difference 3 weeks make!

From snow and cold to sand and somewhat warm!

Even though it was not as warm as we would of liked – for Jan. it was okay!

I am not shoveling snow – I can layer up and walk the beach!

School break – and a quick trip down – Marcus could not get away.

The first thing they wanted to see – THE BEACH!

The little ones love the beach – sand and water.

And then we took them for a walk along the ICW at Barefoot Landing!

Watching the boats traveling up and down –

and seeing the boats in the marina – where a lot of people are living on the boats there!

WHERE WE ARE UNTIL END OF JUNE!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World
