Today’s highlights:

  • My sister took my mother for an office visit with her surgeon.
  • We visited county seats of two counties: Johnston and Wilson.
  • Andy and I went for a run in the rain on the Buffalo Creek Greenway in Smithfield.
  • We visited the Governor Charles B Aycock Birthplace, a NC State Historic Site.  (Governor Aycock was originally famous for being an “education” governor but now is infamous as a white supremacist.)
  • We visited the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park in Wilson.
  • We watched Jay’s Isolation Friday video.

Today’s ice cream:  Ben & Jerry’s Americone Dream
