RIP Andy Griffith.
A bit late with my thoughts here. He left our world on Tuesday. And yet somehow fitting that it would be the day before the 4th of July. At least it seems fitting to me. Mayberry is the picturesque small town where everybody knows everybody--and their business but not in a bad way.
A gentler time when Aunt Bea (or mom) was in the kitchen and the family gathered for meals every night. . .plus had hot breakfasts every morning.
A time when parents worked hard for their families and the kids knew their place in the family.
While I didn't grow up watching The Andy Griffith show in real time (re-runs only for this girl!) I did watch Matlock "back in the day." It was another one of those good shows--clean language, good story line, good morals--the kind you are hard pressed to find on current tv.
He always seemed to portray the kind of guy you'd want for your dad or grandfather. The one you wanted in your corner. . .the one who could find the solution to that problem that was nagging at you.
RIP
