Interesting info on Aunt Bee. First Link is her home in Siler City N.C. where she retired and lived out the rest of her life.

TVparty!: Whatever Happened to Aunt Bee?

I can be to Mount Airy NC in just over an hour. (The city that was the basis for Mayberry)
You can get a pork chop sandwich and ride in a '63 Ford black and white police car that gives tours.
We do live the "friends over for Sunday dinner" lifestyle, and thought it was typical!
I typically grill, to help keep the kitchen clean.
My wife and I were in Snappy Lunch a couple of weeks ago and I got a pork chop sandwich. The sandwich always makes the trip worthwhile. Larry
Sounds like.....
Sounds like a real Utopia. Worthy of a Twilight Zone episode.
Think...... Having to live perpetual Sundays. Wouldn't that be awful............NOT!!
Missus Fan made dinner tonight, including Greenbean Casserole.
We could solve all the worlds problems.
Missus Fan just patted me on the head and said only if we could get Aunt Bee to cook.
I don't have an Aunt Bee.

P&R, I don't think this is the Mayberry you're speaking of...

Here's what I looked like last Saturday morning. 
I like the episode where the businessman's car breaks down in Mayberry on a Sunday. He can't use the phone and can't get his car fixed so he has to stay overnight. Ainge and Barn are sitting on the porch and Barn says "You know what I think I'm gonna do? Think I'll go home, have me a little nap, then go over to Thelma Lou's and watch a little TV". He keeps sayin' it and really irritates the business man.
Sometimes I can relate to 'ol Barn.
Come to think of it, Ainge too.

I'm surprised
This is the first time anybody mentioned Thelma Lou. Was she hot or what?

After Peggy McMillan the hottest one was the county nurse, Mary who gave Rafe Hollister his tetanus shot.
I really like Rafe too. In fact, I have developed the Rafe Hollister version of health care for myself. When they showed him a thermometer he said he had one on the hen house. They said it was to show him how hot HE was. (Like me he had told them he never gets sick). He said "I know how hot I am....DANG hot"! They said "I thought you said you never get sick?" He replied "Balls 'o fahr, Ma'am, bein' hot aint sick, sooner 'er later yer bound to git cold agin!"
He also told them he didn't need a doctor. "When I was born I had my Momma, when I die I'll have the undertaker, and I don't see no need in messin' it up in between".
My Dad had this same outlook. 'Course, he died at 55, but that's beside the point.
We need a lot more guys like Rafe and My Dad.

Sunday dinner
Sounds like my grandmother's big ol' house next the the Alamakee County fairgrounds ,big wood burning stove in kitchen, big walnut table in dining room. The meat could have been roast beef chicken or ham, always lots of gravy and potatoes, beets carrots or green beans, pie for desert. No one left the table without asking to be excused, wicker chairs on the front porch, the baseball game on the old philco radio in the sitting room.
