One is the oldest granddaughter while the second is the youngest granddaughter with her twin sister.
One is in her third year at University of Lynchburg – Enviromental Engineering major.
One is in the fifth grade – so caring she calls or zooms her grandmother almost every day.
One starts at the attack front position for the ranked lady soccer hornets soccer team.
And had played in 13 games as a freshmen – started her Sophomore year and again as a junior.
One moved to sit beside her older cousin at the soccer game.
Both are dear to our hearts!

Are you searching for a opportunity? A way to work from home part time?
We were -13 plus years ago –
what was at first a way to pay for our purchase-
To doing The Business part time –
To retiring and have a supplemental income
To be able to travel – (read my blogs over 200)
And once retired to remain in our home
near our grand kids!
It is a very simple product – fruits – vegetables – berries –
put into capsules for you to take two of each everyday with water!
And research proven that it immediately goes into the bloodstream
repairs cellular damage – and boosts the immune system
along with other proven research facts!
Over 30 published researches from major institutions
around the WORLD!
And if you have a hard time swallowing THERE ARE GUMMIES! GREAT FOR CHILDREN! And – as a bonus – children – ages 4 to 19 are FREE! When a adult purchases the product one child per adult purchase gets it free for up to FOUR YEARS as long as the adult continues! And COLLEGE STUDENTS
The GUMMIES come in FRUITS – VEGETABLES and BERRIES!
We use them for snacks rather than candy !
Need a PROTEIN drink a drink for breakfast – lunch or work out! A way to cut fats – calories from large meals! Then our two powered drinks DUTCH CHOCOLATE FRENCH VANILLA I just add crushed ICE a cup of Soy or Almond Milk Water and whatever FRUIT I want -in a blender and it fills me up! THE DRINKS ARE PROTEIN GLUTEN-FREE NON-GMO LOW GLYCEMIC FIBER & VEGAN
We also have bars – to use as a snack or in place of a meal with the drink!
The bars are Protein – Fiber – Non-Soy –
Vegetarian – Gluten free –
Non Dairy & Low Glycemic!
The Published research says it all NSA approved for pro athletes
So – how is the business and what to expect?
It all depends on yourself!
You can do it part time as we did for years
or – full time – it is your choice
but know either way – you have a support group!
You can follow this or do this!Or SHARE a concept of health and nutrition much as you would a movie – a book or a favorite vacation spot!
We started the business part time
to pay for our purchase each month
and then to get all our grand kids started
each of the six have taken Juice Plus either all their lives
or the majority of their lives!
We eased in and then saw the benefits
then we simply shared- first with our family
then our friends with the help of our sponsors!
The steps to success and success is at every step! Those whom you sponsor because of their own effort can pass you on the steps! It is completely up to you or them how to progress You still get a commission on their efforts either way!
The Juice Plus Business plan is fair-
It allows you to go at your own pace
and you never lose what you gained!
Once you have achieved that step
You do not go back down
and those that you sponsor as a partner
can progress above your step!
The cost of HEALTH & NUTRITION less than a coffee at Starbucks!
The cost is less than that treat that you might buy
As the day begins at the condo – the build of our new home begins some six-teen miles away – in Cameron Woods at Ocean Isle Beach – N.C. We searched and searched – but all in vain as the cost to buy was equal or more than to build what we wanted!
Our view here I shall always remember – in all we will be here for nine months!
I captured this shot as a flock of geese were coming right at me before
rising up over the lanai and roof.
We decided to build – that way we would have everything we wanted
A single story – no stairs – covered front porch – screened in covered lanai.
Close to the beach ( four miles) in the country!
Close to golfing ( over 20 courses near by)
And with in 6 1/2 hours to travel back home
or family to travel here!
Materials for the new home – ground is ready – all utilities in and inspected – waiting for pour of concrete!Forms and moisture barrierSome view in one direction of neighborhood – I think in total maybe fifty homes will be here.When done – a two car garage with pull down stairs and finished storage overhead.
We will have around 1900 sf. of heated space –
in addition to a 140 sf covered and screened in lanai
and a open 10 x 14 concrete patio.
There will be a covered front porch
and views of the neighborhood.
The back will be woods with no one building there
as it will be a conservation area.
We will be four miles to Ocean Isle Beach and six miles to Sunset Beach
A thirty minute drive back to North Myrtle Beach
and a fifthteen minute drive to Calabash
and a fifthteen minute drive to Shallotte.
All this in the middle of some twenty golf courses we will be playing!
The concrete is poured – and rain is now slowing up everything!
But – all the inspections have been completed
and our contractor calls us every Monday to give updates
and answer any questions!
The forms are out – concrete is in – framing will be next!View of the garage and the woods behind the new build.
We drive over every Sunday – no one is working!
That way – if it is not raining – we can get out and look it over!
This will be our third house together building.
All three were unique and we have input on all of them.

All my life up to 16 years ago – I was a junk food addict!
I thought I was fit – playing sports until my late 40’s!
I ate all the time at McDonald’s – then something changed my life.
Sherry went to NBC for your health in Washington D.C.
I also went to the food court!
That is where she found a supplement that changed both our lives.
At first, I denied I needed it – then three months later I started to take it-
FRUITS AND VEGGIES AND BERRIES – JUICED – DRIED TO POWDER AND PUT IN CAPSULES!
NUTRIENTS OF 30 DIFFERENT KINDS EACH DAY!
It slowly over the years changed my life – I felt better – BUT – unknown to me – I had damaged my heart
from all those years ( 40 plus ) eating junk food and drinking cokes – mountain dew and gallons of milk.
I thought that was good for me.
EIGHT YEARS AFTER I STARTED ON THE SUPPLEMENT – I had a WIDOWMAKER HEART ATTACK!
FOUR ARTERIES INVOLVED – I almost did not make it!
I was rushed from work to the hospital where I had one artery 100 % blocked –
They put a stent in and the PAIN went away – but I was told I had three more that needed to be done!
It was too dangerous – I would have to have an open heart and four by-passes!
ONE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS!
All this time I never missed a day of my supplements – even when I went into the hospital.
Over 40 published types of research from major institutions from all over the world – convinced me that I was doing something right and not to give it up!
So – on a Monday morning – at 7:30 AM – they started – by 3:00 pm. they closed me up!
At 5:30 pm. they called my wife and daughters.
By 6:30 pm. I was standing!
I never went to the step down – I went straight to my room –
And I was told by the nurses and doctors I was the healthiest heart patient they had ever seen!
They wanted me to do an interview for some kind of research but I declined.
Here I am – 56 hours later standing in front of the Christmas tree – I was home!
I had a 100% – 90% – 60% and 40% blockages. I walked the halls in less than 20 hours –
Everyone told me they had no one like that – I went home and the other people who had surgery
that day were still in the step-down units.
Sherry and Papa – I had a nuke stress test late Jan. I passed with an excellent grade.
I just had all my blood tests – everything was very good – I STILL TAKE MY SUPPLEMENT
of 30 fruits – veggies and berries and now OMEGAS!
SHERRY and PAPA
Sixteen years ago my life changed and in my mind and heart –
I believe – I am still here – and I STILL TAKE THOSE SUPPLEMENTS EVERY DAY!
Just a little over a month later from our New Years Eve beach gathering and toast to 2021
We once again were back to see the sunset – only it was windy and cold –
far from the 65 degrees of NYE!
The approaching sunset peeking through the trees!
Papa – Diane and Sherry
We first parked and walked to the end of the street – here the last of the end of the houses –
and this then begins Bird Island – marshland protected and wide-open beach.
Our neighbor Diane
The tide was going out!
Here you see the last of the houses on the marsh and bayside – with the tide going out – This is the end of Sunset Beach and the beginning of Bird Island.
Sun setting – time to go to the beach.
This is where we gathered for NYE and drank a toast to 2021!
The pier and people walking the beach.
Sherry – braving the wind chill – it was cold.
As we looked out on the ocean – to think we can do this every night if we want to –
and there still is Ocean Isle Beach – living our dream.
One final look before we returned home – Sunset at SUNSET BEACH, N.C.
I seem to be the person if it is going to happen – it will happen to me.
This is very RARE here this close to the ocean so I am told.
And to be fair – within an hour or so – it was gone!
Looking out the lanai at the snow on the ground and swirling in the air.
Now – really – I could care less if I ever see snow again – some people think that is nuts –
but I just do not like the snow-ice and cold – and I lived in WNY & NWPA for 50 years!
So I know all about blizzards – running my van up and down the driveway to pack it down –
Shoveling – chipping ice – burning 21 cords of wood hand carried inside and to the basement for the woodstove – that stove kept us warm through one week without electricity – and power –
that plus the living room fireplace –
going to work at 5am. through unplowed roads and a foot of fresh snow and another foot on the way.
The Tower Garden all covered up and survived all the ice – snow and cold.
I think it is so pretty coming down – covering in white – but that is my extent of liking it.
Back North – we would go cross-country skiing – in the Alleghany National Park on groomed trails.
As a kid, we were always outside sledding – building forts and snowball fights.
My memories are in the past – my present is NO SNOW! LOL
Lonely birdfeeder with no birds in the snow.
As I said – it was over in an hour – sunshine and no snow anywhere – the WHY we moved South.
The Sun is back – the air still cool – the roads dry – NO ICE – NO SNOW!

Diane – Sherry, and Papa – walking after the snow – in the sunshine and cool air!
After walking through the paved road area where the infrastructure is already installed –
We decided to walk the access road beyond the huge mound of dirt to the pond.
Diane Sherry and Betsey waiting for me to come down off the mound of dirt.
We now are on the access road – through the cleared area walking to the large pond!
Sherry and Diane walking the road with a huge drainage ditch on the left – I call this the “GATOR HIGHWAY”
Yes – we have seen a small gator in this pond – but as Sherry says – “WHERE’S THE MOTHER”?
This is the old access road that they put in to make the pond and clear the land.
This old access road runs right behind our house – the tree line here is protected –
That is the back of our home in the picture – these woods will not be cut or cleared and this old road is blocked off – where another new home has been built.
I hope they make this part of the already trail system we have that goes around the other pond.
This now seems to be where they dump and storm drains – pipes, etc.
This area will be the last to be done in the next phase – suppose to be according to map site plans
A third pond somewhere to the right of this picture eventually.
The second pond – looks to be as big as the other one or larger.
We have seen many tracks of deer around here as well as other tracks.
People have said they have seen Bobcat tracks and coming home one night –
I saw something bigger than a normal cat on the main highway – ?????
I took this picture a couple months ago – right behind the new community center.
Betsey – Diane and Sherry – heading back up the road away from the pond.
There are five houses to be completed in our phase – and then they are done there- I was told the construction will commence here in the finished area with paved roads sometime in March.
They are selling the lots now – LENNAR is the builder now – new designs and new elevations will be the difference from what we had to choose from.
We shall see what this all looks like a year from now as aI think it is a two-year build-out or more.
PAPA’S WORLD – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
CAMERON WOODS – off Old Georgetown Road – Ocean Isle Beach – across from the back entrance to Ocean Ridge Plantation – home of the BIG CATS golf courses.
Phase one completed – Phase two is almost done – no idea what phase the garden homes are in –
they are conjoined town home-condos across from this entrance but part of our development.
There are numerous homes there completed but looks like less than halfway done.
We walk almost daily weather permitting.
Phase three – all the infrastructure is already in – and two of the roads are paved.
The lots are ready and have numbers on them.
I assume that some have already been sold as I was told construction is supposed to start in March.
It is hard to tell now but they look similar in size to our lots – perhaps a little bit bigger.
The far tree line to the right has a cul-de-sac behind it and I assume will not be cut down.
The neighborhood in Phase two that is complete
In this picture, we live beyond this view to the right.
Behind these homes is where the community center is to the right.
This was all woods when we purchased our lot.
I stand where a huge hill of dirt has been piled up – separating the sites here from the clearings behind it. I think this mound of the earth will be pushed back to cover the cleared space or used as a fill when they put in the remaining infrastructure.
According to the site maps – one more pond is yet to be added to the right somewhere in the trees.
This is the cleared area behind the mound and already a very large pond is there to the left and one more is to be added according to the site maps.
There already is an access road right back to the pond which is either the same size as the one completed at the end of our road or bigger.
Diane and Sherry walk up the mound of earth.
If you could continue to walk – straight ahead of them is our new home through the woods.
A view from our back yard through the protected trees to the cleared land beyond the mound of earth.
To the right beyond those trees is the mound of dirt.

The next blog will be THE WALK CONTINUED through the cleared area to the pond.
