Last night Den and I watched an old episode Andy Griffith. It was 1964.
Opie was taking care of some baby birds who had no mother. He kept them in a cage and fed
them worms and bugs, but then the day finally came when Andy had to convince Opie it was time
to let them go.
Opie was so worried his little birds wouldn't be able to fly on their own. He fretted but finally let
them fly off one by one. Afterwards Opie was sad and said to Andy, "The cage looks awful
empty don't it Pa?"
Andy's response: "But don't the trees seem nice and full!"
That was exactly what I needed to watch yesterday on Tyler's 30th birthday!
Here's that part of the show I'm talking about.
Forget the first part (I don't like it so don't watch it) just go to about 4:00.
Look what happened last night
Just a little pre-graduating gathering for our DIL Amy.... Not everyday a Mom of 7 and a Grandma of 7, graduates from college. It was not ...

We can learn a lot from Andy! We have a few seasons of that shown on DVD and my grandsons love watching it! that and the Dick Van Dyke show. I have ALL the seasons of that as it was my favorite. Life lessons were better taught in Mayberry though. Love the episode you shared. Thank you!
That was such a good show. Wish we still had some like it on TV!
