November 17, 2024 - Msg 120302: Guess I'll sweep since I'm the only one here. Mighty dusty,mighty dusty!

possum once more
November 17, 2024 - Msg 120303: I agree, Possum. We need to make time for what matters, if at all possible. I will try harder. Been super busy these days and with the holidays on top of us, will get even busier. One of Bruce's aunts died on Friday and I am waiting on news of a service. Bruce wants to attend but it is a few hours away (4) so I am hoping they will have a memorial service after Thanksgiving. I am working some days next week and supposed to make cornbread dressing for my work luncheon on wed.
Put up a tree last night with Sean's help so that is done. Will have lots of cooking to do for thanksgiving, as usual.

MDC, I admitted a precious lady with ALS this week. New diagnosis, just since summer, and she is doing pretty well at this point but her insur@nce wont pay for some of the meds she needs. I hate that~! She has several family members that can help her. I think of you often and wish I lived closer so I could maybe help out some.

Better go finish up my computer input. Love to all.

November 18, 2024 - Msg 120304: Well Porchsters, my compulsion complex has kicked in and I noticed the archive posts from 2024 are listed under 2023. I wonder what causes that....

Good sweep Possum! Remember the days when we'd sweep at least once
a week!? Wish we could do that again. Maybe some new folks will
find this porch. :)
GF--a question for you. I have been enjoying the season 3 episodes
on Me-tv lately, and I noticed in my 'episode guide' that a fellow
named Charles Irving directed 2 episodes. Anyone ever say why?
Was Bob Sweeney sick or something? Just curious.

I watched all the 'Miss Peggy" episodes, and still find it interesting
that the final scene of she, Andy and Opie around the campfire was her last,
Never to be heard from again. :(

What are all of your plans for Thanksgiving? We will watch the Parade on TV, and then We are having about 11 family
members over for a "cold cut thanksgiving!" No cooking, just ordering a meat
and cheese tray to make sandwiches with macaroni salad and potato chips.
A caregiver, who has no family here, will also join us as she will also be
here 'working.' Different times recently, but good.
Thanks again for your prayers. Cecile is a bit weaker, but in good spirits.
We walk by faith and not by sight. :)
Sorry I havent been around much, but will try harder to do so.

APB FOR ALL OF US! HA!

Prayers and God's blessings!
MDC


November 20, 2024 - Msg 120306: Hey MDC, I don’t know the answer to you’re question but I will ask my “Cronies” and see if they know the answer.
Sometimes it’s good to keep Thanksgiving simple, just be sure you have cold cut Turkey sammich’s as a option and it’s ALL good!...👍

Continued prayers for Cecile. You all are in my prayers...

Possum, I make items to put in the Mayberry Days Auction, this year I’m doing a Ernest T Bass treehouse. I even got tiny forest animals to put with it. They came with two really cute tiny Possums and I thought of of you.

I’ll send you a picture when I finish. Last year I made a Barney and the Cave Rescue diorama. It brought in $650 for the cause...SHAZZAM!... 😳

Peace ☮️ Love, ❤️ and Tiny Doughnuts 🍩 To All...... G-F

*And of corse...Turkey 🦃 ....

November 20, 2024 - Msg 120307: Aw,that's cool, G- F! Yes,I'd love to see the treehouse once it's completed.That's great that you help to raise money and SHAZZAM! is right! $650-wow!
Good to see you rocking,MDC- oh yeah,we didn't let the dust gather "back in the day" like it is nowadays. Wish some of the "old" Porchsters would come back and I agree that it would be nice to get some newbies to join us. I'm glad to hear that Cecile is in good spirits. Continuing to pray for y'all.
Hey! to Boo and Billy Ray and any lurkers out there-come join us!

November 20, 2024 - Msg 120308: Hey Porchsters. For Thanksgiving, I'm heading to my cousin's house for lunch, then driving an hour to my sister's sister in law's house. Don't remember how long I've been doing this, maybe 10 years.

I have to be careful not to eat too much for lunch. I don't want to insult my second hostess. Not that long ago, I had an appetite like Barney. Now I have an average appetite at most.

Hey BR, maybe they'll both serve spaghetti! ha mdc


November 21, 2024 - Msg 120310: HaHa MDC, I was just thinking the EXACT thing!..The spaghetti 🍝 episode was just on.
That color episode is one of my favorites...”Goober when this this is all over, I’m going to kill you!”....

November 21, 2024 - Msg 120311: Possum...Check you’re e-mail....G-F
November 21, 2024 - Msg 120312: Yeah,Billy Ray might be in for a lot of oregano on Thanksgiving- ha! I thought the exact same thing,fellas!
Okay,will do, G- F-thanks!

Let me know if the porch needs a sweep                                   Archives
This version of The Taylor's Front Porch has been created to pay our respect to the original porch found on Mayberry.org. Thanks to Frank for all the work he did for Mayberry on the web. We've tried to make this just like Frank's Porch. This is also a tribute to Ollie's "Trivialities" site which was another homage to Frank's porch but is no longer with us.
