Good day, New Bern Now Readers,
Today is Love Conquers All Day, National Chocolate Macaroon Day, National Egg Day, National Itch Day, and Repeat Day. Hmm, I was trying to come up with a fun way to explore these observations days, but I’m stumped. Maybe it’s because I’m stuck on Repeat Day. It’s designated to give you a chance to say or do things over again, like the movie Groundhog Day. I’ve been doing this way too much lately, so let’s move on.
Here’s a snapshot of the day ahead in New Bern, NC.
