Howdy Y'all we all here today with heavy heart and a little misty eyed. This is my tribute to one of the greatest legends of the silver screen and North Carolina's favorite son and America's Sheriff. Mister Andy Griffith. Now he came up a long time ago and he earned his way into the hearts of all of us. The news of his passing today hit me harder than ton of bricks. I just sat down and was lost. It hurt like losing a member of my own family and I know he had been feelin' poorly for a spell, but I was not prepared for him leaving this ole world just yet. Just 2 days before my birthday and I had had it in mind to take me a ride down to Mount Airy for the 4th or at least stop in the Snappy Diner on the 5th.. I can't bring myself to do that just now though. But friends lets remember Andy and Mayberry and so much he did besides that. And y'all I think if we went and got us a hot dog and remembered Ben Matlock too. As we bid farewell to Andy we must also remember the other cast members too but you know what? I bet they all gathered around now planning a fishing trip out there in Mayberry cause I beleive Heaven recreated that town just for them and when I pass on I pray that I get a invite down there and some of Aunt Bea's fried chicken, maybe the Darling family will bring the refreshments and they watching to make sure Otis don't try drink it all up. And to this day the Andy Griffith Show has never left syndication...I pray it never does!
And we have to have a Mayberry Reunion moment...
They Will Be Missed and Mister Andy Griffith.. Thank You for The Memories!
I will leave Y'all with a song from Rascal Flatts and then I think I'll go down to the drugstore for a bottle of pop then walk down to the creek skipping stones, maybe do a lil fishin' as I hum that theme song and sit back reminiscing on all the great times they had...
