Leaving Ohio

We are back on the road again after spending a short month living with Nan’s mom. People keep asking, but YES we both enjoy staying with her. We got a chance to see some friends while in Ohio, and now we are heading for Florida to spend Christmas with my mother. We probably won’t be back to Ohio until next October. We left Ohio Monday morning and drove to Mt. Airy, NC to stay at the Mayberry Campground. Not only is this the home of Andy Griffith, it is also the home of Eng and Chang Bunker, the original siamese twins. Apparently they traveled the world and decided to live in Mt. Airy after meeting a pair of sisters and getting married. You are probably wondering why sisters would marry siamese twins. Well, I saw their pictures and they make Aunt Bee look like Pamela Anderson. I was told that when the got married they all lived in one house. This didn’t work out too well, so they moved to a farm with two houses so each wife would have their own home. Then the brothers would spend about 3 days in one house, then go over to the other house for three days. Between the two of them they had about 20 kids. Freaky.
We are staying here four nights because they have such a good rate here. We paid about $63 for the four nights. They owner said if we want to stay the month it’s only $300 per month until March, but we want to head for warmer weather. We bought an electric mattress pad yesterday since it’s getting into the 30's at night and our furnace is burning up a lot of propane. With two people, a dog, a cat, and an electric mattress pad, the bed was pretty comfortable last night.

  1. Hi, Rita and Bob are just north of Ft. Worth, TX, and had a low of 33 last night with a dusting of snow. More predicted. We're heading south to Austin after my nieces Baby Shower in Dallas on Sat. I enjoy reading your blog. You inspired me. If you haven't, check mine out at http://reetandbobrving.blogspot.com/
