Another great Christmas has come and gone. Great presents from family, great time spend with family and a trip back to Mayberry.
Let me explain.
Our family left Charleston at 2:3o pm on Tuesday with hopes of being in Twinsburg 4 hours later. Try...6 1/2 hours later instead.
One hour into our trip..our car begins to make a noice that sounded like thousands of people cheering at a football game.
Since there was not a stadium in sight..we knew it was something with our car.
We found ourselves in a small country town in West Virginia called Fairplain. We asked around and everyone recommended Ron's auto clinic 4 miles south.
We made it to Ron's 1 and 1/2 hour before he closed. Ron assured us that he would have us back on the road soon.
We unloaded and proceeded to wait in Ron's waiting area.
The children began playing cards on top of an auto parts box and I asked the weary receptionist where the nearest coffee shop was.
She informed that the best cup of coffee could only be found down the road at the Fishin' and Huntin' shack.
I passed.
The mechanics were half dressed in a mechanics uniform and their hunting clothes.
It was like a scene out of mayberry RFD and I expected Goober to walk in any moment.
The car was fixed and $519 dollars later we were on our way.
I wonder if we stayed longer if Aunt Bee would have fixed us dinner.
We'll never know.
