Hey Mayberry<\/span>,<\/p>\n

WOW….let me just say that we had a wonderful time in Mt. Airy, NC this past weekend!<\/p>\n

We had 29 Mayberry<\/span> fans join us for the Mayberry<\/span> Meet<\/span>–up<\/span> (listed below)!\u00a0 They came from *all* over but I think Ohio was the well represented (4),\u00a0 Tennessee (4),\u00a0 Alabama (3),\u00a0 Georgia (2), and the most folks were from North Carolina (16) as it should be since we were in their back yard. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Friday started of great with a visit to the Andy Griffith Museum and autographs from “Thelma Lou” herself, Ms. Betty Lynn!\u00a0 Folks stood in line for hours to meet<\/span> Betty, get an autograph and none were disappointed.\u00a0 She posed for photos and chatted with every person in line bringing smiles and tears to each along the way.<\/p>\n

Friday and Saturday nights were highlight of the weekend for me, just behind visiting with Betty, because those able to do so gathered in the gazebo at the Mayberry<\/span> Motor Inn\u00a0 (thanks Alma!) to watch episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, select video clips from Mayberry<\/span> & beyond, and visit!\u00a0 \u00a0Just like sitting on the Taylor’s front porch, we gathered to talk and get to know one another better.\u00a0 What a wonderful time we had.<\/p>\n

During the day on Saturday, 6 car loads of the Mayberry<\/span> crew headed first up<\/span> to the “Old Mayberry<\/span> Trading Post” to see the area where the name “Mayberry<\/span>” originated.\u00a0 We looked through the Trading Post and some folks found treasures there that they made their own.\u00a0 We then traveled the 4 or so miles over to Maybry Mill for photos and some good ole American history on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We didn’t pass up<\/span> a trip to the Maybry Mill Restaurant before we left for more time to visit another and tell lies to one another while we ate.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, the 12 of us remaining in town once again gathered at the gazebo for a session of the Mayberry<\/span> Bible Study.\u00a0 Following the study, those that didn’t have to head right back home went to break bread ones last time before departing.\u00a0 The Bible study and eating were a fitting and wonderful way to wrap up<\/span> this Mayberry<\/span> Meet<\/span>–up<\/span> weekend.<\/p>\n

You can check out photos of the weekend by visiting the Facebook album (you do NOT have to sign up<\/span> to Facebook to see the photos) at the following link:

Thank you to all who were able to attend and hopefully many of you may be able to join us if we do this again.<\/p>\n

“Everything’s OKAY…in Mayberry<\/span>!”<\/p>\n
