Just Cuz I Can

Thinking of TV past--especially those scenes that still make smile even after all this time!

Yep, yep anything with Barney Fife back in Mayberry
Beaver Cleaver like when he got stuck in that cup on the billboard--
Or anything the Evans Family on Good Times, before Daddy James died-
Lionel Jefferson's scene with Sammy Davis Jr on "All in the Family"--
And this one when Florence realizes Billy Dee Williams is her living room...ahhh..

Could go on and on and ON about memories-good and bad-however, I won't. Not right now.

I do picture being back in our house in Iowa with my belly filled with Dad's dee-lish bar-b-q. Dad would situated in his chair, while I sat across from him. The cats (I hauled 750 miles from Dallas) and Dad's hound called a truce and snooze somewhere. With King Edward cigar in his mouth, and ashes sprinkle on his shirt, Dad clicks through channels on the remote.

And then Dad finds the channel that takes us to where we both like to go: Mayberry

Memory--indeed.

I am blessed.
