The Taylors were always inviting company for dinner. Of course Barney was a regular as was Helen Crump. Gomer ate there when he was a guest, and they had the new doctor, Clara, and Floyd. Howard was a guest as was Fred Goss, Congressman Canfield, Professor St. John, and the visiting minister. Aunt Bee even invited Colonel Harvey and the bug specialist Mr. Wheeler. They also hosted the entire Darling family on several occasions and even good old Ernest T. Bass. They had Big Fred Pruitt for lunch too. However, I don't recall ever seeing Thelma Lou or Goober eating at the dining room or kitchen table. So I would have to invite one of them, and I think it would be Goober, seeing he lives alone in that rooming house and has to eat all his meals out. I think I would make him a big meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans. For dessert a strawberry pie with real whipped cream.
