Dear Digest Fans,
I have loved reading all the entries about sleep pants. I know it's recently
become a controversial topic, but I rarely post and hope you'll stand one more
story.
I was very glad to know that sleep pants even exist! I appreciated reading all
the comments about where they could or couldn't be found. I live in
mid-central Missouri, and it seems like we're always the last to get anything.
My brother's 50th birthday was quickly approaching, and I was dying to give him
a pair at his surprise party. After looking at WM in several towns, I gave up,
resigned to the fact that I'd have to wait until they were available at
Weaver's and just tell him he'd be getting a late present (yeah, like he'd
believe that one).
Anyway, the day before his party (his real birthday is April 21, but because
he's a farmer, we had to take a chance and have it early on April 10 in between
planting times) my mom and I were shopping for last minute stuff, and-lo and
behold-what did I see but four pair of the sleep pants in WM! I was so
thrilled I bought myself a pair as well.
So...fast forward to his party. He received many nice as well as gag gifts,
but his favorite - a scrapbook I made him- and his sleep pants! I wasn't for
sure if he'd wear them, but I surprised his family with a visit the next week,
and what was he wearing to lounge in but a t-shirt and his sleep pants!
I have to say they are the most comfy things I think I've ever had. I realize
I should be helping out Weaver's and all, but my situation was a bit different
at the moment.
Just one more thing: I seem to remember some talk about hot dogs or something
one time, and when I didn't want to read it, I skipped the entry. Just like a
paper or magazine, something doesn't appeal to you, skip it! Don't make a big
moulage out of it for the ones enjoying it --- just be patient and it will go
away.
Thanks for allowing me to have my say! Here's to you and yours!
Johnna

Being retired now for three years, I have time to reflect on what and where
my perfect retirement would be like. It didn't take long for me to come up
with an answer. My perfect place for retirement would of course be
Mayberry. I can just see myself awakening each day to the friendly folks of
Mayberry. I could start my day with a leisurely stroll around town and then
end up at the diner where I could join Barney for breakfast. I could have
cereal, orange juice, eggs but not runny, toast , coffee, and a stack of
cakes. After leaving my twenty-five cent tip (for the both of us) I would
stroll over to Floyd's barbershop and play a few games of checkers with Jud
or Floyd, but only if Henry Bennett was not looking over my shoulder. After
visiting with all the "gossiping men" I would next walk across the street to
the post office and pick up my mail. But I probably wouldn't buy any stamps
because I don't believe gambling machines should be in post offices. By
this time the bank would be open and I could go cash my social security
check and check to see if Asa was awake. If I am lucky he would invite me to
his house sometime to see his ball of tinfoil. Then I would go over to the
theater and watch them change the marquee. Now it would be lunch time and I
would head back to the diner for the business man special. A hollowed out
tomato stuffed with avocado and raisins topped off with a lemon phosphate.
After lunch it would be off to Meyer's Lake for some fishing or I might even
go frog gigging at Tucker's Pond. On my way home I would stop at Goober's
for a bottle of pop and visit with Goober while he was fixing a flat tire.
Even if it were a rainy day, I could just relax at home reading a National
Geographic and listening to Leonard Blush on the radio. My evenings would
really be fun. I would join the community choir and help John Masters spot
people who are singing off key, go to the garden club meetings so I could
compete in the Simmons Seed Catalog flower contest, on Friday nights meet my
fellow lodge members at the Regal Order of the Golden Door to Good
Fellowship where I could play cards, tell jokes (clean ones) and drink root
beer.I would help out at the Founder's Day Celebrations, attend men's night
at All Soul's Church, and then on Saturday nights my wife and I could go to
Morelli's or maybe to that Chinese place in Mount Pilot where they put
parasols in the rice. After church on Sunday's my wife and I would sit on
the porch and eat home made ice cream with fresh strawberries. On beautiful
nights if there was a full moon I could take my wife to the Duck Pond or I
could go down to the dump and shoot rats. Can you imagine such a
retirement? Just spending my "golden years" among all those people whom I
have come to love down through the years. Living out the rest of my days in
Mayberry, a peaceful town where all the children have good teeth.

Howdy!
Speaking of Dubois, Wyoming ..... I grew up in a very Mayberry-like town in
neighboring South Dakota called Wolsey (the sign at the edge of town says
"population 450 friendly people"). I went to school out there with a kid
from a family by the name of DUBOIS, also pronounced "Dew-Boys." I still
remember how hard we laughed the day we got a new teacher at our school (who
had a bit of an English accent...almost like Andy's valet) who pronounced my
classmate's last name "Du-bwah." He turned out to be a good teacher, but we
sure got a good laugh out of the "fancy French pronunciation" that day!

Strange with this name she got picked when she wrote her book
We have a Dubois (Pronounced Du-boys) Wyoming
It's a town probably half the size of Mayberry, about 900 ppl.

Was Helen Opie's teacher the entire time she was on the show? It seems each
grade he was in, she was the teacher.
