Local Goings On

March 29, 2026

Yesterday Paul and I went to the Kenansville Swamp Cabbage parade. This is a small town remember so the parade consisted of cowboys and girls and teenagers on horseback, the town fire truck, the kids in 4H, like that. There were several vehicles carrying kids throwing candy into the crowd. There were vendors with the usual crafts, raffles and you could get a BBQ meal. By the way one of the raffle items was a pistol. It was very warm. I got overheated and had to take my bbq meal home to eat later. Part of the meal was a container of swamp cabbage. I don’t know what is in exactly in it but it’s vile. omg. The event was fun though, Paul seems to know everyone and introduced me around.

We toured the old schoolhouse which now houses exhibits and artifacts from days long gone. One room remembers local veterans from WWII.

Another room is mostly to do with old farm stuff.

Meanwhile Vic went birding with Zoe and got some very fun stuff.

There’s barely any red on their bellies, don’t understand the name. But hey that’s just me. Aside from that what a great flying shot!!

Now today …

We keep one in the truck and bring it out when we are birding.

Stay safe everyone! XO
