Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 11, Issue 181
Hey, Mayberry friends. This morning I spent some time with my mother-in-law, and he's a wonderful person,(bless her heart.) She makes the best pickles you've ver put in your mouth. I would like to try those pickles, being a pickle nut myself. My late aunt had a pickle recipe that was so fantastic I sent it off in the mail and it was included in a cookbook published nationally. I keep a jar of 'em in the frig all the time. I won't post it here, but I will send it to anybody who wants it. I call them "Sweet Garlic Dills." My wife says they are so good you would slap a possum across the jaw just to get at a jar of them. Jimmy Dean ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Tobbaco
In the episode with Jeff Pruitt he says his neighbor Bertha can pick more tobbaco than him. As far as I know that is the only time growing tobbaco was spoken of in TAGS. Quite a few barns were shown on the show, the Flint barn, the Frisby barn, the Jubal Foster barn, the Tate Fletcher barn, and the barn that Eddie Brooke hides in. In every one of these barns we see hay but no tobbaco. And in all of the times we see someone driving in the country, no one passes a tobbaco field. That is strange since North Carolina plants more acres in tobbaco than any other state in the union. Strange. Orville Hendricks - Trying to sell my butter and eggs. Me and Martha do not raise tobbaco, we have all our land in chicken feed. _ The New Busy is not the too busy.

Earning Money as a Kid
I just finished watching the two episodes where Opie worked at the drugstore and the grocery store. They sure brought back memories of how I got money when I was a kid. I would be very interested in hearing how the rest of you got money when you were a kid. Like Opie my friends and I would find pop bottles and redeem them for two cents each. We would go to the town dump and hunt around until we found some. Another source of money was cutting out coupons in magazines for grocery items. Our small town grocer would give us cash for the coupons. Of course back then there weren't many coupons used and they were usually for very small amounts, but we could get some extra dimes and quarters doing this. Then we also had Kool Aid stands on hot summer days. Of course I tried selling numerous items like greeting cards and flower seeds, but like Opie and his Miracle Salve, that usually was a disaster. When I got a little older I sold the Sunday newspapers on the steps of our drug store on fall days when the druggist and his wife would go to Packer games. When I hit 13 I began my five year stint as a pinsetter in our local bowling alley where we were paid ten cents a game and we had to set two lanes at a time. I could actually earn as much as five or six dollars a week doing this. However, my best source of money was a parking lot outside the dance hall just down the street from where I lived. There were wedding dances there just about every Saturday night so early Sunday morning I would sneak out to the parking lot and walk up and down it until I covered every square foot. It never failed that I would usually find a few dollars in change each Sunday morning. I even found an occasional dollar bill and one time had the great good fortune of finding a ten dollar bill. Now I would imagine many of you must have had some interesting and creative ways to make money as a kid. It would be great reading all about them.

RE: weather
<... We're having some dry, hot weather here in NC. Two weeks with no rain and above 90 degree temps. I've learned that everybody complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it. Did Calvin Coolidge say that? Well, just what did Calvin Coolidge say? Oh yeah, "I do not choose to run." Yep, he said that. -- I believe Calvin Coolidge also said, "Ninety-two."

RE: pickles
<...When done, there's not a pickle in heaven that can hold a candle to hers. I hope she'll enter them in the county fair next year... -- You might want to encourage her to enter the shirt-washing contest too. But watch out. Like Clara with pickles, Aunt Lucy is pretty stiff competition. Don Good (aka Will Hoople) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
