Papa’s World – Around the house – SKIES!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

As the sun rises in the east –

it casts a golden glow on the front porch sidewalk!

We live facing North –

and the back of the house –

faces South toward the beach.

Because of the curvature of the coastline from Charleston S.C.-

to Wilmington, N.C. –

a quarter moon shape –

our beaches face almost South instead of East!

Standing in our driveway facing North –

to the right is East and to the left is West.

We came here to check this lot out –

when it was just dirt and sand –

and we know how the Sun rises and sets –

We wanted it this way –

as the front porch is almost in the shade all day!

This is where I wanted to sit and just watch the world go by! LOL

Looking West as the Sun rises in the East behind me.

It is quiet here –

lots of people walking and riding bikes.

Clear skies and lots of birds –

and some Eagles!

Our wildlife is extreme –

Coyote – fox – squirrels –

some rabbits – raccoon – possum – turkey –

Deer and bear and a Red Wolf!

Alligators in the ponds

and snakes!

The snakes I watch out for –

you never know!

The rest usually you see from a distance.

The Sun rises in the East –

over the small palm tree –

Early morning-

and the neighborhood is quiet.

Living in OIB and our community –

Near the border of S.C. –

We have left the snow and ice behind – so far!

Where do I begin –

first – my blog yesterday on –

“Stand by me ”

“ELDRED ” drew over 700 views !

That is amazing from a little town with just 800 population !

GOOD MORNING – HAPPY CHURCH DAY

I grew up in this little town –

at Halloween time – almost every house –

I knew who they were and their names !

I helped my child hood friend –

Brent Wood – deliver papers –

That was when he bought his go cart and we would ride around town !

L LOVE TO TELL MY STORY

I was truly amazed yesterday –

I would check in every once in a while –

And I realized right away –

A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE READING AND SHARING !

The last I counted –

it had been shared 15 times !

LOVE ELDRED

Back when I was growing up –

this was the sentiment of growing up here

At least that was my impression .

All us kids –

from each end of town and all the streets in between –

It was a real friendship –

heading for the park to play TACKLE FOOTBALL –

Choosing up sides –

Then – the creek by the park –

with all those trails into the woods toward Park Avenue –

When I was young –

I did not go far into the woods –

Instead – just playing in the water with one eye

always on those ferns and trees !

And I guess –

that the feeling still exists today judging by the response –

From people who left years ago –

yet still consider this home.

I am grateful –

THANK YOU !

I have many more memories and I shall attempt to put them into a blog.

I always wanted to write a book –

My wife Sherry suggested I go back to blogging –

1982

That way –

we could save them all in one place –

have a history so to speak –

A place where future generations can go and read and see pictures.
