SEPTEMBER 20, 2016, TUESDAY
We spent the morning sorting through papers, documents (mostly financial) and books. I took four loads of books over to Mom's Salvation Army Thrift Store. She was very active in that group[s Auxiliary.
The big event for today was Mom's Daughters of the American Revolution David Williams group's graveside marking ceremony at her grave. We were very fortunate that the earlier and later rains held off for it as it was outside.
Afterwards, we ate at B&D Restaurant in Goldsboro..
The rest of the afternoon and night was spent sorting through papers and books.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2016, WEDNESDAY
I had planned on going to Topsail Beach today, but decided not to because of all the rain around eastern North Carolina. The day was mostly spent going through Mom's papers and books and taking them to her church, the town library and Salvation Army.
Bob and I went to Wilber's for some of that great 'cue.

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

Summer North Carolina 2016-- Part 1: Gettin' My Cincy Chili, Chocolate Uglys, Snappy Lunch and Wilber's 'Cue Fixes
JULY 19, TUESDAY
I left for North Carolina to help settle affairs with my mom's estate and took the usual route there, now becoming very familiar with the third trip in as many months. I got through Indianapolis during rush hour without a problem and stopped for my usual Cincy chili fix at Skyline Chili. I drove to the east side of Columbus, Ohio, and then went on to Athens, Ohio, where I stayed at Super 8.
JULY 20, WEDNESDAY
On US-33 to I-77 in West Virginia. No Virginia peanuts at the Virginia Welcome Center, but they said they had it on order. I need my Va. peanut fix as well. Stopped at Wytheville, Virginia, for the cheapest gas of the trip, $1.90, and got my Chocolate Ugly fix.
Then stopped at Mt. Airy, N.C., for my Snappy Lunch porkchop sandwich fix. I-40 was busy, but made it through the Raleigh-Durham "Strangler' always a horrible traffic jam. Arrived in Goldsboro, N.C., and went to Wilber's BBQ for my 'cue fix with Bob and Andy.

N.C. Spring Trip, 2016-- Part 4: Gettin' My 'Cue On
MAY 5, THURSDAY-- 'Cue at Wilber's. And cole slaw, hushpuppies and tea. That's real good eating. I went to the first grade class with Mon where she gave a talk on flowers to the kids and the decorated the paper cups we had placed vincas in.
Went to Target (which we don't have near us anymore in McHenry), Berkeley Mall and I bought some CDs from FYE, a CD/DVD store.
MAY 6, FRIDAY-- We ate at another of Goldsboro's famous bbq places, Scott's which now is only open Thursdays and Fridays from 10 to 2. My sister Julie arrived from Savannah and I learned how to polish silver. I didn't much care for it. I typed Mom's Memoirs the rest of the night.
