Slept in as we didn’t have any definite plans
until 12:30. We stopped at the Greenville Mall to pick up a present for Phyllis
as it was her birthday today. I had contacted her and she got in touch with
some of the people that we had taught with at EB Aycock when we started our
teaching careers. She also made reaservations for us at Atavola, a restaurant by the
school. There were 9 (Phyllis Wooten, Marie Lewis, Ann Mewborn, Jane
Laughinghouse, Margaret Powers, Jay and Brenda Jester and Ron and I) of us that
got together to catch up and remember the fun times at Aycock. We’ve been gone
from Greenville for 30 years but still have such fond memories of our time there.
It was a great luncheon. After we went to explore downtown and see all the new
buildings that everyone told us were going up. We made stops at the bookstore
and at the Market @ Coastal Fog, a cute combo of design shop and coffee/sandwich shop. We
went back to the hotel for a bit and then ventured out to find the mall only to
discover that it had been torn down years ago. Oh well. We decided we needed
some NC BBQ before we left Greenville so we stopped at Parker’s for dinner.
Love the BBQ.
