Oh, darn, Starrsville. I was looking forward to buying you a pork chop sandwich at Snappy Lunch....and a milkshake at Goobers. Next time you are going to be in the neighborhood, let me know.
Jorr, come on down. We have the real thing here!
BTilke, I love DuranDuran, but there is only ONE Andy Taylor......

Would love to stay at Andy Taylor's house. Wonder if they charge extra for "adventure sleeping" (the ironing board between 2 chairs that Opie used when his cousin's came for a visit)?

This idea is catching on, evidently, because some country music stars are now backing a new 'development' like this near us.
I don't think I would enjoy it....too much like home!!!lol!

Man, wouldn't you love to live in Mayberry right now??!! No terrorists and when the worst crime was someone coming to a rolling stop at a stop sign?

I DO and we DID have a T in our neighborhood a few weeks ago. We walked right by his unmarked 18 wheeler, windows down speaking ??? very agitatedly into a cell phone.
FBI caught him later though in NJ!

Even Mayberry isn't safe...just a figment of our imaginations! Gotta have your house in order as the grandma used to say.
