I spent my Sunday afternoon reflecting upon my class reunion on Saturday. Those of us there talked a lot about where we came from. We all grew up in the small town of under 1000 people and with the exception of one or two classmates we all came from very modest families with one parent working and we all lived in very simple older homes with very few luxuries.
So I decided it would be fun to use the marvels of the inter net and take a look at the kinds of homes my classmates now live in. So through the help of Google Earth I took a tour of all their homes which took me all over this great country of ours. I was just amazed and really taken aback at how most of my classmates are now living. With the except of a few, most are living in very nice large homes in very nice neighborhoods. Some were living in homes valued at over a half million dollars. One classmate living in one of these luxurious homes in Arizona never lived in anything except a rental apartment while we were growing up. How far we have all come in my generation. I sometimes think I focus too much on TAGS and the simplistic life that we see in our beloved Mayberry. But when I see the affluence that is found among all my former humble friends of my youth, I am so thankful that I can return to Mayberry whenever I want so I can relive some of those very special times that will be forever so important to me. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
