Hey, Mayberry friends.In reference to Hear! Hear!: Such a funny scene but I never get to move. This guy looks a lot like Wally, being a service station owner, he must also be on the town council, a very civic minded business owner. Where is the Mayberry Cafe? I have a seven year old grandson

Helen on Adam-12

Hey, Mayberry friends. Yep', I spotted Helen on Adam-12, also. She definitely likes the men in uniform, khaki or navy blue seems to be her favorite colors. About Ken Anderson's post: Hear, Hear!. That's what you say when you like what someone said, but I want to move, I never get to move. Do I

RE: Escargot

Hey, Mayberry friends. In reference to Andy passing on the snails and later saying I'll try anything once about the escargot. When Andy went out with Peggy it was in black and white. With Darlene Mason, it was in color. Escargot probably looks better in color, I don't know, just bucket

Jury Duty

2011-05-09 Thread Larry Hamrick
Hey, Mayberry friends. Last summer I received a juror summons that would have conflicted with our trip to Mayberry Days in September. Now I don't know if it was the Mayberry Deputy, the town clerk Howard Sprague or maybe even the count that intervened, but I managed to wrangle out of that week,

Hey Mayberry friends. This ought'ta do it. Recently received the new Don Knotts DVD Tied Up With Laughter. On the outside of the box, the writer (and these DVD companies have gd writers) describing the contents inside lists Don Knotts best-known roles as Barney Fife and Mr. Furley, placing

Easter Sunday

Hey, Mayberry friends. Today, a beautiful Easter Sunday morning. Got a new shirt and tie, went to church, had a great dinner with the family, turned on the TV to find a TAGS marathon on TV Land. That made the day perfect. Like Ken, I wish there had been an Easter episode of TAGS. The Christmas

Mayberry in Westminster, SC

Hey, Mayberry friends. Just viewed the facebook photos taken at the Mayberry event in Westminster, SC and looks like everyone just had too much fun! Wish I could'a been there (it's just a couple hours away) but family issues kept me close to home. The countdown to Mayberry Days in Mt. Airy, NC

A Mayberry Day

2011-04-01 Thread Larry Hamrick
Hey, Mayberry friends. Today, my wife and I went on a field trip with my fifth grade granddaughter to Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC. The tour of the old shops and homes was over around 2:30, (we visited a Tavern where George Washington spent two nights, ain't that something!) so we decided to

Matlock

Hey, Mayberry friends. I happened to catch an episode of Matlock early Sunday morning and Ben was defending a suspected murderer played by Don Knotts. Imagine our Barney accused of murder! The only thing he ever killed on TAGS was a few hours on the cot in the back room. Also, Fran

Live Podcast

Hey, Mayberry friends. This week's podcast is another must see. I was fortunate to catch it live Monday night 'cause I usually forget when it's on (I'm not a spring chicken anymore). Allan spent over an hour with us as he recorded the podcast and then showed us around his studio/Mayberry

Trivia Question

Hey, Mayberry friends. I love the trivia although I'm not very good at it, but the question about Hop-A-Long Cassidy did spark some memories. I once had a lunchbox with Hoppy on it and one of his sidekicks was none other than Andy Clyde, AKA, Frank Myers. If berries for hats ever comes back in

Favorite Quotes

Hey, Mayberry friends. No one has done 'favorite quotes' in a while, so, as Goober said, I'll do it! When you read each one, let your mind go back to that scene. Andy:You're a good son, Barn. Barney:You're not talkin' to a jerk, ya' know. Opie:Just what can ya' do with a grown woman? Aunt

Bigfoot

Hey, Mayberry friends. This is 'Big, real Big' as in Bigfoot! There's been Bigfoot evidence found right here in NC near Troy, the hometown of Jeff Branch, our own Howard Sprague tribute artist. It's been on the news all morning. My suggestion is we get Howard, the town clerk to go after Bigfoot
