Today’s highlights:
- Andy and I visited the Bentonville Battleground, site of the largest Civil War battle fought in NC.
- We visited the county seat of Sampson County.
- I went to Dollar Tree for my father.
- We had a Zoom beer hour with Jay.
Today’s ice cream: n/a
Today’s beer: Weeping Willow Wit from Mother Earth Brewing in Kinston and Not an IPA from Appalachian Mountain Brewery in Boone.
Today’s pet peeve: I really wanted to take a picture at the corner of Cucumber & Vine in Mount Olive but was stymied by the pickle security perimeter.
Today’s moment of gratitude: We did not pick up any ticks while tramping through tobacco and sweet potato fields on the battleground trail.
