6/9 - Mount Airy, NC - Home of Mayberry!

Mayor of Mayberry. Note the length of David's hair - or rather - lack of length of David's hair!

Stern Barney and David! Told you David's hair was REALLY short!

Just a trim, please! David getting hair cut at Floyd's Barbershop

We headed out early for Mt. Airy. It's about an hour away from where we are and a quick one as it's mostly interstate.

We got to Main Street about 10:30 a.m. and headed straight for the Snappy Lunch Counter for a pork chop sandwich. We've been here before know it's a small place and fills up quickly. By the time we finished lunch, it was beginning to get crowded. Please pray for Mrs. Easter. She's the mother of our waitress and she's in the hospital with heart problems.

We went next door to Floyd's Barbershop for a quick haircut for David. You'd think he'd learn about getting a haircut on vacation after last year in Alamagordo, New Mexico......He told the lady he just wanted a trim. I'm glad he didn't ask for anything else or he'd have no hair left! IT'S REALLY SHORT! He won't need a haircut for months!

While he was getting his hair cut, Barney came in and entertained those at Floyd's. There's some sort of biker ride going on so there were lots of bikers in town. He had his picture made with them in a group and then everyone else in the barbershop. Then the mayor came in. He asked where we were from. Everytime we ran into him in town, he'd pull us over to the owner of the shop and tell them about us. He was really a nice man.

Saw a tshirt that really made me laugh. The front read "If a tree falls in the forest...". The back read "Do the other trees laugh?". Another one read "If I had $1,000,000 I wouldn't be wearing this t-shirt!" Saw one other that I shared with my friend Deborah on the phone. She wouldn't wear it, but did find it quite funny.....had to do with bikers! 'Nough said.

We were getting ready to leave Mt. Airy after some quick shopping and saw the line at the Snappy Lunch Counter. Way deep waiting for lunch! Glad we went early!

Headed back to Greensboro to get ready to leave on Sunday!

See ya down the road!
