The Taylors' Front Porch
Pull up a chair! Have a sit-down an' shoot the breeze with us. Later on, maybe we'll go down to the drugstore to get a bottle of pop .  .  . maybe see what's showin' at the Grand .  .  .  . What you gonna do tonight, Barn?

I'm really glad you enjoyed your day trip. Good to hear your blue mood went away 💙.
Oh yeah, getting up so early and just go go going all day long is very hard. One day at a time, though and I trust that things will get better.
Thank you and MDC for your continued prayers. They mean a lot to me.
Blessings to all.

possum once more
August 14, 2026 - Msg 121550: Work,work,work!I even had to sweep the Porch! Geez... lol

Thanks for checking GF. Lydia might know.
The ep guide has the Gus name, and then Jim's name in parenthesis. Hang in there for just a bit more Possum.
I know how tough that is, as I also did similar for my dad.

Well, I was going to go to Durango, CO, and Mesa Verde,
to visit my niece who is working at MV, but alas, she
just got laid off from the lodge there, and is going back
to Flagstaff. Flag is about 3 hours from my house,
so I may go there in Sept.

APB FOR CHARLOTTE, JULIE, NN, MD, PH, AND ALL!

Prayers,
MDC

Oh Possum, that is wonderful news! God is good, as RO would say.
Yes, will continue to pray that everything will work out.

GF-A question--how early do you think I should reserve a room
at the Mayberry Motor Inn for the '27 meet up?
Also, I recall when you and ASA would 'talk shop' about always
having items like fan motors on hand, and I think of it more
as lately there have been a lot of
Grainger commercials here, and I think of you two when they say,
"The guy to get it done!" :)
We are facing another 4 or 5 days with 112 to 115, but then
that is just August in the Phx area! C'est la vie!

Praying for all,
MDC
August 17, 2026 - Msg 121557: MDC...If I were you, I’d call Mikel at the Motor Inn, he keeps “the book” as he also does for Mayberry Days. Floyd hasn’t officially determined the date yet. ( He made it a week later this year than last year ) So I really don’t know if it will change back or not...

Mikel will put you down in his book regardless of the week. So yes it’s never too early. The early bird gets the room...lol

I DO miss Asa’s shop talk as do I miss going to Grangers’s for parts. They had a system of getting parts that nobody could beat....

Possum....That is AWESOME NEWS!...🙌🏻🙏🏻

August 18, 2026 - Msg 121558: Thanks, y'all but not going to get that particular house after all. Landlord doesn't work with third parties ( shades of Helen Crump- ha!) and the VA program is a third party,so there's that. However,the VA caseworker found another house he thinks we'll like and it's in the same neighborhood for less rent. Will send the info on it for daughter to take a look- see. We are trusting the Lord to put us into the right home. Will keep y'all posted.

possum again
August 19, 2026 - Msg 121559: Sounds like good news, Possum. Lord let things go through as needed~!

Not a lot to report on my end of the porch. Its been hot but that is nothing new on my end of the porch. MDC is dealing with triple digit heat for months now.

Have to get ready to go to an appointment with Bruce with a new ortho doc to see what we can do with his back.

Blessings,
Boo

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.
