This is site is designed to introduce you to my book  Mayberry Reflections, the Early Years. It was released in October of 2006 and was published by Westview Publishing in Nashville, TN. It is a collection of episode summaries and  personal reflections on each of the first 127 episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. The book includes a special feature about the Taylor Home Inn Bed and Breakfast which is located in Clear Lake, Wisconsin. Also included are a number of black and white images which will give you a close and personal look into the wonderful Taylor Home Inn Bed and Breakfast. A special tribute to Don Knotts is also included.
 
I wrote the book as a way to preserve and share many of the wonderful values that were portrayed in the lives of the many folks living in Mayberry.  This new book about Mayberry, North Carolina, is written in a way that should appeal to people of all ages and backgrounds.  Whether you are new to Mayberry or a long time fan, I am sure you will find this new book a wonderful addition to your family reading material.

I have been a fan of The Andy Griffith Show for many years which results in my spending considerable time adding to my collectibles from that wonderful classic television show. I have the complete Mayberry Hawthorne Village set complete with all figurines and accessories. I am currently receiving each new winter Hawthorne Mayberry Village piece.  I also have a set of Andy Griffith dishes with plates and matching mugs that feature Andy, Opie, Aunt Bee, and Barney. Also included in my collection are two complete sets of trading cards, neckties, sweatshirts, tee shirts, steins, numerous books, metal posters,key chains, refrigerator magnets, and all eight years with every episode of TAGS on DVD.
