Happy Tax Day!
We're on vacation this week and went to visit a couple of colleges Monday and Tuesday. Monday we saw NCSU, Tuesday was our day at Elon. Both schools have lots to offer; Elon is a small school which appeals to Terri and me. It's all part of the process, and it was good for the three of us to get away for a couple of days. Jackson heads off to a FBLA conference tomorrow through Saturday; I leave for an AHRI meeting Saturday afternoon, so our free time together is very limited.
While out of town we stayed in Sanford and got to see our favorite grandson Cooper. He's involved in potty training now; I told Jay it's too bad Jesse isn't around anymore; she did a pretty good job training Jackson.


He's getting ready for summer; I told him about the yellow boat
On the last trip to Sanford we took pictures of our old houses, and we started down the road to our first one but got side-tracked (or maybe simply forgot). Here is our first house in Sanford; we really liked living in this 3.5 story townhouse.
On the way home in the rain this truck passed us. I saw it coming at the last minute and sped up to take this picture. On the front bumper he has 2 fishing chairs mounted beside his rod, cooler, and equipment holders, really nice; wonder if he wants a yellow boat?
Last but not least an unsolicited commercial, well it could be solicited if General Mills wants to pony up......this is new and this stuff is tasty! The Fishin Optishin told us about it and his aim was very good; haven't read the ingredients yet, bet it's really bad for you, which of course has never stopped me before!
Terri and I might go to Ocracoke for the day Friday; if so I'll post some pictures.
