Mayberry Days!!

We are about 25 minutes away from Mt. Airy, NC, which
is Andy Griffith's hometown. This weekend was 'Mayberry Days'.
We drove thru town Saturday evening to see what was going on.
There had been quite a bit happening but they were finishing
up when we drove thru. We did see Floyd's Barber shop,
Snappy Lunch, and also about 8 of the patrol cars like the picture
below. As we were leaving we saw a golf cart coming down the
street. The fellow on it looked just like Goober - hat, white shirt,
black pants, and even had the rag in the back pocket. Pretty Cool, huh !!

Ring a bell with anyone?

Where could this be?

Anne Of Green Gables

Saturday night I took Susan to see a production
of the musical "Anne Of Green Gables", based on
the book by L. M. Montgomery. It is about an
orphan girl who gets adopted by a brother
and sister, but it was supposed to be a boy they
were adopting. Anyhow, this musical was the best
one we have seen - hands down. (We've seen several)
The girl playing the part of Anne played it exactly like the book.
It was wonderful !!

OKLAHOMA

Last week-end, we took the girls to a local Dinner
Theatre to see a production of the musical
OKLAHOMA !! It was great and we all had a good time.
If you've never seen a production of it, you need to
look it up sometime. You will go around singing
several of the songs for days:
"Everything's Up To Date In Kansas City",
"Surrey With The Fringe On Top",
"Oh What a Beautiful Mornin".......

Alright, Alright!! Yes, I know it's time to do some
more posting but I just hadn't found the time
to sit down and do it.
We finally recovered from our NY road trip.
It was a long one, but it was great to see everyone,
although I didn't like the circumstances.
As you can see, the girls were tired of traveling
too. We hadn't been on the road long Saturday
afternoon and they were both out cold.
For the record, we traveled 1,750 miles that weekend!

Special thanks to Charlie for taking us over to
the Ranch early Saturday morning. I wanted
to go over and see it again. It had been 17 years
since I had been there. Not a whole lot had changed.
Here is a nice picture of the upper house. It
looks real neat with the mountains in the background.















Also a shot of the Ski Jumps. This was taken
on the Lodge Rd.

I had let my yard go during our trip to NY.
I mowed it Thursday after we got back.
We had gotten a lot of rain and the grass was
so thick that I had to rake the front yard.
Here are the girls helping me. They actually
raked up the majority of it. Thanks girls !!!

OK. You asked for more pictures of the house.
Here are a couple of the back yard. This one is looking into the back yard from the driveway.














This one is from up in the back yard looking down to the back of the house.

How about a couple pictures of some Sunsets we've had here.
(These were from last summer)















Check out the low-lying fog in this one. It was neat.

Here is a shot of a beautiful sunrise! This was taken from our side yard.
