We, as a family, legally immigrated to the United States of America from the Philippines in 1969. Five years later, we applied for our American citizenship and got it --- hooorray!!!!
Note the price of a gallon of gas back then -- $0.35 😮😐

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Actor / Singer, Andy Griffith, was born on June 1st, 1926. I loved watching reruns of The Andy Griffith Show while growing up (having recently-arrived at the good ol' US of A). I still love the show and so do some of my kids. It's watched almost daily thru Amazon Prime. I never knew until recently that there are lyrics to the show's theme-song, "The Fishing Hole." I loved it being whistled! But now, here is Andy singing the show's opening theme song. Enjoy!
Happy 92nd Birthday, Mr Ed Ames!! Singer Ed Ames may also be known for being a TV Actor (Daniel Boone ), but I will remember him most for his beautiful baritone voice and his solo renditions of two of my very favorite songs from my youth: Try to Remember, and My Cup Runneth Over. LYRICS: Maybe it was the biblical reference (Ps 23); or the fact that two of my dear loved-ones are born in the month of September (son, grandson), but these two songs' words are memorized and are at home in my heart.
This post is in honor of actress Dawn Wells,(Mary Ann), who celebrates a birthday on October 18 (80 years old). She and actress Tina Louise (Ginger Grant) are the only remaining main characters from the show who are still living as of this writing.
The show's opening-scene harbour was pointed-out to me by our Tour Guide while I was in Honolulu (one of my best vacations ever; in the company of my son, sibs, and other relatives). Happy thoughts were triggered once again via my sister & brother-in-law's pictures while they spent a glorious week in Hawaii to celebrate her birthday.
The informative link below will add info to the gaps of what you know about the show's opening season harbour scene. Someone spent a lot of time researching and deserves a shout-out via this post.
