Our visit to Mount Airy

2009-03-19 Thread Cynthia Mahoney
My husband and I visited Mount Airy for the first time this past Sunday and Monday. It is everything we expected and more. The highlight of our trip came on Sunday morning when we saw Betty Lynn at church. We did not speak to her because we did not want to disturb her. Just seeing her was e

My husband and I will be visiting Mount Airy for the first time on Spring Break. We will only be there for one day and it will be on a Sunday. We would appreciate it if anyone could let us know where would be a good place to stay and which things are the "must-sees". Since we will not have time

snails and worms

To answer the question about eating snails vs. touching worms, I have eaten snails several times and I would eat them again. They are gd. However, I have never baited a hook with a worm and have no intention of ever doing so. If I was offered a worm for that purpose, I would definitely say "y

"I was wondering if anyone else had the problem of finding their pennies after the train ran over it. I've placed several coins on tracks and never found them either. I guess if you were lucky enough to find them, you really didn't need them. And if you did find them, you were really blessed wit

"In reference to "trains" 'A penny that has been run over by a train, IS LUCKY!" Opie had one, so he or Johnny Paul must have been down by the track. We could all use a bit of luck now and then, "Wish I had one of those pennies run over by a train!" " I have a couple of pennies that got run o

My Fair Lady, I mean Ernest T. Bass

"It sure was similar to the episode with Ernest T. going to Mrs. Wiley's party. Maybe that is where they came up with the story line." As a matter of fact, I think that is exactly what happened. After all, the episode is titled "My Fair Ernest T. Bass" and Barney makes the comment "If they wr

Muslims in Mayberry

2006-12-09 Thread Cynthia Mahoney
Sure there was a "Muslim" in Mayberry. He wanted to buy some elixir from the Morrison sisters so he could celebrate Mohammed's birthday. Of course, the Morrison sisters had always thought that he was a Lutheran (I think), but "if it weren't for their holidays, you would never know." I guess

"There is a debate going at the TVLand message board about an episode where Thel is seen with her hair down. No one seems to know what episode that was. Can anyone help out? Thanks. " It was in "Barney Mends a Broken Heart" when Peggy's old college friend drops in to visit her and Andy gets mad

Thelma Lou and Juanita

2006-03-24 Thread Cynthia Mahoney
I agree with what Thelma Lou (Janet) said in her post about Barney and Thelma Lou and Juanita. However, I think that Thelma Lou knew about Barney seeingJuanita, or at least suspected it., and she just overlooked it. Thelma Lou probably never saw Barney and Juanita together, so it was easy fo

"The older Ron Howard gets, the more he looks like his father, especially in the eyes." I have always thought that Ron Howard looked a lot like his dad, even when he was a little guy. However, I do agree that the older he gets, the more he looks and sounds like Rance. He probably always looke

"Of course, we find out in RFD that Andy's (second) wife's name is Helen! That's Crump -- C - R - U - M - P." Just remember never to refer to her as a "third party", even though it isn't dirty. Andy made that mistake once and, boy, was he ever sorry. Mary Grace Gossage "'So deep a friendship

The episode that I think is the funniest is "Three Wishes for Opie". I laugh every time I see the scene at the beginning where Helen is mad at Andy. ("Who do you think you are, Mayberry's answer to Cary Grant?" , "When I become engaged to someone, I have one very simple requirement. I'd like

Darling boys singing trivia / Mayberry dancing

"Trivia time: There is something unique about the singing at the wedding which makes it different from every other time we hear the Darling boys sing. Anybody know what it is?" Is it that they were singing harmony? I seem to recall that they were not all singing the same words at the same time
