Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

Maeráed and Maire just dropped by the house...

... and Maeráed was so excited. I hope it was to see Uncle Clemens, but it might have been because she was promised a trip to get ice-cream. I went with them to Glenn's Restaurant. It used to be Glenn's Diary Queen - don't know what happened to the DQ part of the signage.

But otherwise it is exactly like an old fashioned Diary Queen. Air conditioned to about 65, just the way I like it, with the smell of old fashioned hamburgers everywhere. Maeráed got a chocolate and vanilla swirl cone and her mother got the peanut butter milkshake (which she claims was wonderful, btw). I had the traditional chocolate shake.

Then Maeráed and mom took off for Deep Gap where they will take off for Ireland bright and early tomorrow. After waiting fourteen weeks for Maeráed's passport, it finally showed up by FedEX yesterday - but only because Sen Elizabeth Dole's office got involved in it.
