Well, fellow Mayberrians, if you want the ultimate experience in feeling you are finally in our beloved hometown, then all you have to do is visit with Marsha and Dave at their Taylor Home Inn at Clear Lake, WI. It was all I could do to fight the tears at such an emotional high! Not only will the sight of the outside of the house knock your socks off, the details of the inside will render you speechless; however, Marsha manages to sprinkle what I call Andyisms throughout her conversation while taking you thru everything. I felt like I had met my "soul sister" at last as we both knew exactly what we referred to at all times. But wait, there's more! In the basement is an authentic re-creation of the courthouse. I'm not kidding! I got to sit in Andy's chair and pretend to answer the phone. My little Thel got incarcerated in cell #1. Now I'm not done yet - out back behind the garage is a replica of Wally's fillin' station right down to the pop cooler! This sojourn has been the highlight of my trip and I can hardly wait to return someday for a longer visit. These lovely folks have put so much heart into their "labour of love" that it shows vividly. The entire property is beautiful and well-kept. I cannot recommend it enough, honest. Now hold onto your hats, cuz Marsha will have some big news in a few days (aw, big ain't the word for it!) - you'll be so tickled when you hear!!! Aunt Bee of Orlando
