Mayberry Days

Well I just got back from my first trip in Mt. Airy. It was alot of fun. It was me, my mom, my dad, and of course Lucy. She was such a jerk. Everyone LOVES her! "Aw! look at that cute puppy in the dress!" "Aww! Is she friendly? Can we pet her?" Yea, that's how it was the whole time. We went to Mayberry days in the small town of Mt. Airy (the home town of Andy Griffith)and they had tons of Andy Griffith lovers and apparently dog lovers walking the streets. We had so much fun. They even had ducks at the camp ground we stayed at that we got to feed. One had a wounded leg and he limped around and swam really slow. We left on Wednesday and came back today (Saturday). I had two fried apple pies, ice cream, dr. pepper, cheerwine, Snappy pork chop sandwich, popcorn, jelly beans, and a hot dog in the town. The last two days we were there it was rainy and cold. The parade at the end was pretty neat too. On Friday my dad got a hair cut at Floyd's Barber Shop. It took the sweet old man like an hour to cut my dad's half an inch of hair. Floyd's Barber Shop is to the right of Snappy Lunch which is the only still-running restaurant that was operated during the time that Andy Griffith was growing up. We saw alot of the characters from the show like Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), Jackie Joseph (Romena), Maggie Peterson (Charlene Darling), and we saw David Morris which is the son of Howard Morris (Ernest T.Bass) Most of the characters passed on and Andy Griffith never makes an appearance. We are leaving again tomorrow for Mt. Airy but we're dropping my dad and picking up Marina, Grandma, and Aunt Betty. So it'll be me, my mom, Lucy, Marina, Grandma, and Aunt Betty yea wow it's gonna be crazy. I really wanted to put some pictures of our trip on here but I had some technical difficulties so I'll put some from the Internet now and some later from my camera!

Flower Power

If were a flower, I'd plant myself were the sun shines all the time. I'd plant my self were the sun shines all the time and right beside a river. I could drink and drink and drink all day and soak up all the sunshine until there was no sun left for anyone. If I were a flower, I'd live on a deserted island.....near the sun and beside my river. I'd live on a deserted island so that no one would bother me or step on me or try to pick me. I'd be the best, prettiest flower ever and I would never die. I'd live forever. Now that I think about it, I'd be all alone! No one but myself, the sun, and the water! Maybe I could make friends with a tree and he could stay on the island with me and be my bff. wait if I make friends with a tree he will block my sunlight. I know, I'll make friends with another flower and he could stay on the island with me and be my bff. Wait if I make friends with a flower he will soak up all my sun and drink up all my water! I have a great idea! I could make friends with a cloud and he could stay on the island with me and be my bff. Oh wait if I make friends with a cloud he will block my sun, drink all my water, and take up my whole island. Maybe I should just stay planted in my pot.
