Nothing new on my end of the porch really. I have had a lighter work load this week, which is appreciated. Friday is going to be a tough load, though.

Blessing to all!

Hello everyone! I had a fairly busy past few days. Getting some more
'stuff' done, but also went to lunch with friends, and have also been
working on some gardening, and hedge trimming. My dear other half used
to be quite the gardener, but me?, not so much, but I am trying. :)
I have a few doc appts coming up in this next week, yearly trip to my
cardiologist, and a 6 mo skin check at the dermatologist. When growing
up here, I was one who used to put on sunTAN lotion!! I dont even think
that sunBLOCK was a 'thing' back then.
Good to see Boo, Charlotte, KY girl and all.
Let's keep things going.
Love to you, and God bless,
MDC

Oops, didnt mean to chew my cabbage twice!


March 16, 2025 - Msg 120562: We're fine here,MDC. Thanks for your concern. Just a lot of heavy rain,thankfully, but other folks in places like Missouri and Alabama weren't so lucky. Tornadoes out there- I know that our Mayberry Tribute Artist ," Otis",well his hometown got hit hard but thankfully he and his home are fine. Sending prayers out to Gordo,Alabama and to all who were affected by the storms.
Gotta go get supper out of the oven before it burns! Peace and love!

March 20, 2025 - Msg 120568: Hey Porch,

I caught this last night (since I am a trained noticer)...in the episode, "Aunt Bee, the Warden" during the dialogue of Otis telling the Gordon boys they lowered the quality and he found somebody who delivers, his right collar (our left) keeps going up and down.
Also, is it me or did Otis come in really drunk, then composed himself enough to talk to Andy, Barney and the Gordon boys, then become stinking drunk again when he and Andy pulled up to his house? Seems like his drunken stooper had a slight lull during him talking.

Have a good 'un.

Hey JM, those are some good ones, I got out my dvd's tonight, and will watch that episode.
I'll check that out.
Well, I finally got my taxes done. I am still old school,
and fill out the senior form by hand, and state too. but also just use the standard deductions. Not enough to do a sch A anymore.

I sure hope the SPOT, BIG MAUDE, KY GIRL, and CHARLOTTE
are all doing ok after that storm that went thru their areas.
PLEASE CHECK IN when you can.
And, yes POSSUM, we need a good springtime song! :)

Prayers,
MDC

Good Sabbath to all. Please check in when ya can. MDC


March 24, 2025 - Msg 120571: I'm right here, MDC! Hope you are adjusting to the changes, I'm sure it's hard at times. I am facing many challenges with my Mr. Possum but am thankful that he is doing as well as he is. I don't sleep for worrying over finances. I don't know how we're going to make it now that he can't work,but God knows and I'm trusting and keeping the faith. Still, it's hard,especially at night when my mind goes to all the worries. Y'all please keep us in your prayers. Love y'all. Take care.

Possum, I urge you to read Philippians 4:6-7.
I pray that it will give you some peace. It helped me
thru many nights to sleep better.
Try to not be anxious. He is right there with you.
And as Psalm 23 says, you are walking THRU a valley,
there is an outlet, you're not stuck IN the valley! Praise God.
My prayers are with you and Mr. Possum. :)
Peace,
MDC

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.
