Swinging

When we returned home late Saturday afternoon, the park manager came by to ask if we would like to have a swing for our lot. One of the other RVers moved to another site in the park and left behind this swing that he no longer wanted and asked the park manager to find a new home for it. We were thrilled to get it and have moved things around a bit on our lot to make the perfect spot for it. We now enjoy swinging with a view of the lake. We moved the picnic table from that spot to the area we had planned to make into a grassy area. I think we will leave it in wood chips now that the picnic table is there.

Spring Blossoms

Took a few pictures of pretty signs of spring today. I was hoping to get some pictures of the peach orchards in full bloom but it didn't work out today. Perhaps I will get some made before they are gone. Until then, enjoy these.

Andy and Opie

Come on and admit it... I bet you have been whistling the theme song from the Andy Griffith Show ever since I told you we had visited Mayberry. I guess no visit to Mt. Airy is complete until you stop by and have your picture taken with Andy and Opie on their way to the fishing hole. We didn't get to see all the Mayberry spots while in Mt. Airy so I guess we'll have to make another trip there in the future. We only made it to Opie's Candy Store, Floyd's Barber Shop, Barney's Cafe and by the statues of Andy and Opie in front of the Andy Griffith Theatre. There is still much to see. Hope you enjoyed a little step back in time to a slower paced life.

Barney's Cafe

We talked about eating lunch at Snappy's located next door to Floyd's Barber Shop but while David was getting his hair cut a tour bus dropped off a load of tourists and they all headed there for lunch. The place was packed so we opted to find another place to eat. Barney's Cafe fit the bill and we enjoyed a nice little lunch there. While eating in walked "Otis" the town drunk from Mayberry! He had a jar of moonshine in his hand and asked the patrons if "Barney" had been by then told us if we saw him not to let him know that he had dropped by. I expected to see more of the characters out and about but Otis was the only one we saw. We have seen "Andy" and "Barney" before at a festival. We did see one of the old squad cars parked on the street.
