News & Observer Blast from the Past

Just when you were ready for a new trip, no it is the news of an old trip...

Below are links to the news coverage of the first road trip in this blog with Bob Garner.  Their food photos are much better than ours! (Also, we did pay $750 for the 2 of us for this trip even though it is reported in the story as $700. Don't know what is up with that. The next Bob Garner road trip is already paid for though and it is $700. Good news!) Enjoy!

Bob Garner's "North Carolina Weekend" broadcast on PBS on 12/23 at 9pm will be some of the footage he filmed while on our trip. Hopefully, the clip will be online at their website soon, in which case, I'll be back to add the link here. And... here it is! Note that I appear at about the 5 minute mark in a very unflattering camera angle! Only Clay's shirt is visible next to me!

On a BBQ related note, we drove down to Grifton today to deliver our Christmas gifts and have a meal and visit with most of Clay's siblings. We stopped at Parker's in Greenville on the way there and picked up barbeque, fried chicken, brunswick stew, cole slaw, hush puppies, and corn sticks. All as good as ever and Parker's is still a model of efficiency! Clay said they even had a sign up offering fried oysters today!
