I feel like I've been hibernating all week, it's been so bitterly cold here, you'd think we lived way up north or Alaska! The return of normal will be greatly appreciated, funny how the 40's will feel warm? I'm so ready for spring! One favorite way to keep warm is snuggled under a warm blanket watching some oldies on TV, like The Andy Griffith show, I love that show! On one episode they talked about buying a house for $3,500, now this was back in 1965 mind you, but what does come to mind is how high the housing market has climbed in those 40 some years. Why could a house be bought for $3,500 in 1965 yet a decent house now can cost up to ten times that amount depending on the city? I'm so thankful to live here in the Ozarks where housing is still affordable and taxes are low. I'm afraid there are less places like Mayberry but what a great place to have lived, that era was priceless. We still can learn alot from those days, and we maybe forced to do so if the economy doesn't improve soon. Yep, those were the good old days indeed, but a little bit of Andy will always live on and be admired.
Yep those were the good old days but for now it is wonderful will still can watch them on the tube will they be in high def in Feb.? Progress give me the simple life this computer was enough for me.Enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe good ol' reruns...there's nothing on TV now to compare. That's why I get so much enjoyment out of reading others' blogs. It's like I get to visit places all over the world. I agree with you...I'm already getting spring fever.

My favorite show as a child. I wish I did live in a town such as Mayberry. Try to keep warm.
ReplyDeleteOh I love old shows like that where life was simpler and people neighborly!!
ReplyDeleteA decent home around here is definitely more than 10 times that. I wish this area wasn't so high!!
Enjoy your warm up. We are fixin for a blizzard on Sunday. (I still say it beats the humid 80's and 90's though! LOL) Ask me again in March though!
have a great weekend! hugs Linda
One of my all time favorite shows. Loved it all and I am a big fan of the Darling family music. Wish I was in those 'Mayberry' Days now and lived the small town life like that. Stay warm, sweet girl. xxoo
ReplyDeleteI love the old shows. I shouldn't say old, they were new when I was born and I'm certainly not old. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love Andy Griffith. My ex-father in law started calling my middle son Opie when he was born because of his red hair and he's 14 now and everyone still calls him Opie. Sounds like a great way to stay warm. Hope you have a great weekend. Blessings, Karen
ReplyDeleteI just love that show. We watched some episodes with the boys tonight. I'm so glad they have grown to enjoy them too.

Ol andy Griffith Show. I liked it too. My husband really loved it and watched forever. Since he was in Law enforcement he really loved and laughed at and with Barney.
ReplyDeleteWe bought our house in 1967 for 15,000 dollars--raised our kid, ponies, horses, chickens ,pigs etc all on 5 acres and sold it in 2000 for 50--yes 50--- times that much. It was mind boggeling. I loved that old house. I like this house but not the outside. I don't know why. MB
It's been bitter cold here in NW PA and I am so looking forward to a break in the weather so I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteAndy Griffith was always one of my favorite programs growing up. It captured small town life and simple pleasures. Great memories!
