Thanks BTilke...glad I wasn't the only one! :)

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)?

How funny, luvtravl! :-)

luvtravl Aug 7th, 2006 04:46 PM

oops - should be "cousins" not "cousin's"

luvtravl Aug 7th, 2006 04:47 PM

Thanks Starsville - we LOVE Andy. Too bad they don't make tv like that anymore.

I worked with a NC rep who was Andy made over! There are still some around "in real life"!

Didn't you just want to sidle up on the porch for some geetar pickin' at the end of the show?

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? :)

OldSouthernBelle Aug 11th, 2006 12:39 PM

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.

OSB, glad to hear they got the guy!

I was referring to a simpler time in the US as depicted in the televison series! :)

OldSouthernBelle Aug 11th, 2006 12:54 PM

I know, Speedy, I loved them too! Wish Andy was my sheriff! Instead, I think we DO have a Barney!lol!

SpeedBuggy Aug 11th, 2006 01:01 PM

I hear you, OSB . . the chief in my little town is a Barney! :)
