Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Thanksgiving in North Carolina-- Part 3

SUNDAY, November 22nd Continued

Visited my dad and grandparents graves at Willowdale and Wayne Memorial cemeteries and drove to Warsaw to visit with cousin Graham and wife Vicki. He is recovering from surgery and was glad to see us.


MONDAY, November 23rd

Highlight of today was Wilber's Barbecue out on the US-70 bypass. Always something to watch the jets from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base flying overhead. Those F-14s are fast and LOUD!!! Then, every so often, you see those huge fuel tankers looking almost as if they are not moving.

Of course, there are those who maintain that Wilber's is the best Carolina bbq and I definitely know of none better. I regard the interior as the perfect place to eat Carolina bbq with cole slaw, hushpuppies and tea.


TUESDAY, November 24th

Went to the Wayne County Council for the Arts and bought tickets for tonight's Jazzy Christmas show to be performed at the 1920s Paramount Theater in downtown Goldsboro.

They have several galleries featuring paintings and photographs as well as one showing the work of children. One seven year old boy's painting was every bit as good as one you see hanging in one of those big city galleries.

We love NC too and have some family in Goldsboro. I think what you'll see flying around SJAFB will be F-15 Strike Eagles, not F-14s :)

You're right. Thanks.

My brother and his wife as well as a cousin and my mom live there.

I was born there as well.

No problem! I take a special interest in the Strike Eagle as my son flies one. He just moved back to Goldboro. Second time there for another 3 years.
