We took our queen-sized mattress and box
springs to a recycle place today. And Joe made a run to the landfill with dead
electronics. On the drive to the mattress recycle, with the box springs tied to
the roof of the car, along with the foam mattress keeping the trunk door from
fully closing, I thought of the Clampetts. I loved The Beverly Hillbillies.
I loved that they stayed true to their core values
in spite of their sudden found wealth. Back in the day I identified with Elly
May, (Donna Douglas). Today, I identify more with Granny (Irene Ryan). It wasn’t
until I looked up the show on IMDb today that I discovered Granny had a proper name
– Daisy Moses.
Coming from a small town of 400 people in Ohio,
I sometimes felt as awed by other people and cities as the Clampetts felt by
Beverly Hills. Just like they kept some of their country ways, I kept my small
town mid-western ways.
I think I’m going to see if I can find the
series online and watch it.
The nice part about retirement for me is that
I can go off on tangents when one thought leads to another!
We have packed up everything for the movers
except for last minute things on Sunday night. I spent a good part of my day working
on trip plans and doing loads of laundry (blankets, sheets, towels) so we could
pack more stuff. Got our trip plans
outlined up to April 28th when we plan to be in In Pelion, South Carolina.
