Dispatch from Mayberry

There was an hour delay leaving this morning following the storm, but we have made it to Mayberry and are currently  borrowing WiFi signal and a bed from Figlet and Mr. Figlet.

First of all, LSP is delicious! It had been a while since we had seen her in person and OMG she is a big girl now, so very chatty and full of energy! We are having the best time with her, she warmed right up to us and is already best buds with Hubs.

Figlet was nice enough to drive us around today to show us Mayberry and surrounding area. The highlights were:

- Drove by Mrs. Figby's house! It looks just like it looks on the blog! We're hoping to get together with them tomorrow.

- Lunch at the Diner with LSP, then our first ever visit to Trader Joe's which was nice but didn't live up to the mythical proportions I had given it in my head... though I did by a ton of excellent chocolate

We had a fantastic dinner at home, since Mr. Figlet had just returned from a business trip and they were in need of some nice quiet family time. We are going to get out of their air for part of the day tomorrow and head to the city to do some work, but we'll all be catching up later and doing something fun, before the men abandon us to watch football. I'm told there is some sort of big game on tomorrow....

Whaaaaa??? Trader Joe's is the be all end all, especially for inexpensive yet delicious frozen fish dinners. Mayberry is such a delightful town, unless you get lost around Newark trying to find the right exit for the airport. We had a wonderful time with the Figlet clan last year. Have fun with the Figlets and Figbys! I'm sure Harry can show you where to find good coffee and sushi. There might even be a coffee and sushi bar.

Herb, who is not jealous at all about not being in Mayberry! Ok, maybe a little.

Oh, is there a football game today? Who is playing?

I have to agree - I am not a Trader Joe's convert, and as I told you, Whole Foods carries an awful lot of the same stuff under their store label, for the same price. Maybe if TJ's was closer to us I'd go more often - I think the selection changes all the time.
