Hey thanks everyone for your ideas and comment on Mayberry Secrets. I think that besides the Home plate revelation (Opie was safe) the Cave Rescue (non-Rescue) ranks right up there. Then there were all those facts in Opie's Newspaper..but those were known by at least 5 people (3 at the dump and the two boys) so they we not quite as well kept. There were many, I think, that Andy just kept to himself (like all the times he made Barney look good) or he let someone else off the hook.
My question to ponder today is about Ladies hats...and it has nothing to do with Frank Myers' berries either. In the color episode that Aunt Bee runs against Howard for town council, the show opens with Aunt Bee's Garden Club Meeting. The camera angle in the opening scene pans all the hats 0n their heads that are made of beautiful and colorful flowers. This seemed odd to me, to be at a meeting in a home, and the women were all adorned with these fancy hats. There was not hardly a bare head in the house. Even Nice Dress Nellie had her hat on. You would have thought it was Easter Sunday and the scene was of church..so tell me..was this common place for ladies to get all dolled up and fixed up for a Garden Club meeting at someone's home? I think they even had on their little white gloves. Of course, being I guy, I thought they should be wearing some pruning gloves in case they wanted to do any real gardening, Check it out..the colors really made full use of the new color capabilities of that day. Maybe Weavers just had a big sale and they all went as a group to buy one. Now me, I wear a ball cap a lot, but we don't see many of those in Mayberry until "the Baseball game". I need one of those big white wide-brimmed jobs that Joe Hamilton and Mayor Pike, and all those guys around town wear. Noting says Town Loafer like a big white hat. The Untrained Voice I spent the day on my roof Saturday, but I don't have a roof compelsion like Fluffy-I just had dirty gutters. I wonder how my daughter felt seeing her Daddy stuck up on a roof with muddy gloves _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
