Another Year Gone By...Way Too Fast
Bang. It Was Here. Bang. It is Almost Gone.
2015
Every year just flies by now. It begins and there is so much time. Then, it's gone, leaving you wondering where did it go?
And this fast time just keeps going faster every year.
I seem to be missing so much of my retirement years, now in my tenth.
Time sure went slower when I was in grade school.

N.C. Summer 2015 Trip-- Part 3: 'Possums, Shopping, 'Cue and Shrimp
July 22, Wednesday
After breakfast, Bob and I took the two opossums he had caught in his basement out to a wooded area and let them go. He has an indoor/outdoor cats and a cat door which the opossums most likely used to enter his basement.
He caught one in a city-supplied trap and a short time later caught one in a garbage can. Both initially did not want to come out of their cages and had to be coaxed out. No doubt they will be missing their free lunch.
We then went to an IGA grocery store called Charlie C's and I got some eastern Carolina BBQ sauce and Texas Pete Hot Sauce. Texas Pete is a North Carolina company. Then to a place called Ollie's which is like a Big Lots and Target (the one near me at home closed). Last was Sam's Club and Trade It where I bought a dubbing cassette deck.
We had a huge buffet at McCall's on the US-70 bypass. AUCE BBQ, cole slaw and, just as good, Calabash shrimp.
Shrimp and 'Cue. Life is Good. --RoadDog

Stopped at the Spring Grove 4th of July grounds at Horse Fair Park for awhile, then went home. Watched the fireworks show for the village from the front of our house as usual.
JULY 5, SUNDAY-- Listened to Bob Stroud's Summer of 1975 show in the morning. remembered we had our first 4th of July in our new house in Round Lake Beach 40 years ago in 1975.
Went to Nauti-Knots on Bluff Lake and sat out by the tiki bar on a perfect day. Then went to Captain's Quarters on Fox Lake and watched the Eddie Butts Band and stopped at Lakeview Place on Grasslake.
Sure Enjoyed It. --RoadDog
