I wanted to share a few recent "Mayberry moments." Last night, I was reading Reminisce magazine before bed. (My parents subscribe and pass their old issues on to me.) I was reading a tidbit sent in by a Roger Courtney, and as soon as I read his name, my brain just automatically added "of the Esquire Club" before I could finish the sentence! Isn't it funny how those things just pop right into your head?
Then, on the next page was printed the old poem "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod." Now, I had never actually read this poem, so it was fun to finally know what Opie was referring to when he named his baby birds. Then this afternoon, I sat down between household chores to read from Julie Andrews' biography Home. She said that her very first stage appearance was a performance of "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" at the age of three and a half. Kind of a coincidence that I had just read the poem the night before!
