Mayberry moment
My wife and I had lunch at The Cracker Barrel today.I'm sure everyone knows that this chain restaurant decorates with a variety of antiques/replicas.Well,lo and behold,I spotted an axe hanging from the ceiling.I looked around to see if there were a pair of roving eyes behind an old framed painting.Alas,there was not. Amazing how an everyday occurence can relate to TAGS. Dewey in NC In George Washington's day,there were no cameras.One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington show him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others show both legs and arms.Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted,but by how many limbs were to be painted .Arms and legs are known as "limbs",therefore painting them would cost the buyer more.Hence the expression "okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg".Artists knew hands and arms were more difficult to paint. I guess the sculptor who rendered the likeness of Seth Taylor got the premium price as 'old Seth had all of his limbs.However,the sculptor who created the statue of Venus De Milo would not have received as much money back in the day.

Autumn Leaves Festival - Mt. Airy
Had a beautiful weekend in "Mayberry" during their annual Fall festival. Good to see the great sites again in "America's Favorite Hometown". Took our pastor & his family for their first trip to Mt.

TVLand
Hi Gang, Just a heads up, TAGS is back on TVLand today at 3:44pm with episode No. 1. It's on til 6, and the same times tomorrow. I know, they have odd times for starting shows but it's nice to see it back on there as I said several weeks ago it would be eventually. My Direct TV guide goes out for two weeks and shows it the same times for next week. Oh, and each day looks like different episodes instead of them showing repeats like they used to do on Saturday and Sunday. Have a great Mayberry fall day!!!
