Here in NW Arkansas, we have had so much devastation from the big ice storm, people have come from all over to help out. One of the electric companies that came to help is from Mt. Airy, North Carolina, and the company is called Pike Electric. Guess the mayor has a side line. Is this a

Three things

Hey there, three things I'd like to say: Aunt Bee - Which Nicholas Sparks book are you reading? I thought I had read them all and can't recall this... Arnold Ziffel - I'm with you on the cotton pickin' High School Reunion commercials. Don't even want to hear another one of those, thank

Party Lines

I grew up in Hot Springs, AR and they didn't switch to dial phones until the mid-fifties. You picked up the receiver and the operator would come on and ask Number please. At that time we had a population of probably 30 thousand. Not a small town! And it was a candlestick phone like they

Rafe Hollister and a recipe I found

Well, let me just say this, a lot of people down here say things with well in them and drop off the W, its very common. And saying well hey will come out ull-a. Nuff said on that. On another note, I checked out a cookbook from the library, and it had, lo and behold, a recipe for fish muddle!

Salt Risin bread

Salt Rising bread is a flavorful bread that does not use yeast or baking powder to make it rise, but instead is a process using a starter that is salt-based. It is popular mostly in the eastern state, hence it would be popular in North Carolina. It is a tedious process, so it is not made by

Taylor Home Inn

We had a wonderful stay at the Taylor Home Inn on our vacation. We went out of our way to go there and it was worth it! Marsha is a great hostess, and it's such a rush to walk in the door and be in the Taylor living room! She has put so much detail in this home, even had some BeautiControl

What Character would I want to be?

Good topic Ken! It's hard to choose between Harriet down at the Bank and Clara. On the one hand, being a non-practicing banker by profession, I would love to be in the banking business in Mayberry where it was a real, service oriented, community serving bank. On the other hand, Clara had a

Pickle stories

Here is a relatively useless fact about pickle production that made me wonder It seems that store pickles are all the same size (well most of them that is) and this is due to a carefully orchestrated timing of planting, bringing in bees to pollinate all on the same day, and picking all on

Mayberry Keepsakes

Peggy, I would pick Aunt Bee's Blue Willow and have a lot of it myself (which I paid a lot of money for). One of my friends has a set that was her mother's. Back in the 60's her dad got it for her mother at the gas station. They gave away pieces with a fill-up. My mother got a lot of sets of

Noticing

I was watching Opies Charity today on the marathon and noticed something I have never seen before, although I am sure most people on this list have! When Andy is walking Tom Silby out his door at home, there is a picture on the wall of a woman. Is this supposed to be Opie's mother? Harriet

Funniest lines

The scene where Barney is telling the council what Andy carries as emergency supplies in the trunk of the squad car - I think it was a shovel and a rake - and Goober leans over and says ain't you got a jack? Harriet down at the Bank ___ WBMUTBB

Mayberrynsightings

Recently I found a movie on Netflix I had never heard of. It was written by and starred Billy Bob Thornton and was set in Arkansas, namely Arkadelphia and Little Rock. The name of it was Daddy and Them and the part of his Daddy was played by Andy Griffith! The courthouse scenes were shot in

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 15, Issue 142 TV Theme Songs

Not to be prideful or bragging or anything, but I can sing the entire theme song to Beverly Hillbillies AND Green Acres. One of my most outstanding talents. That and an ability to count money. Harriet Down at the Bank ___ WBMUTBB mailing list
