Well here I go starting something new. Everyone will have to be patient as I have never Blogged before. I have enjoyed for sometime the blog of dear friends John and Melanie and their "Year in Exile" Both of these friends have urged me to start my own.
I have titled my Blog "My own Mayberry". I like to share stories of my childhood, stories of my dad, my mom and just things that all of us did as kids in a much simpler and safe time I.E. Mayberry. Wouldn't we all like to be able to go back and spend the day just riding our 5 speed stingray bike all over town, or scouring the neighborhood picking up Coke bottles to turn in for the deposit so you can buy up all the penny candy you can eat.
The Blogs will be in no particular order, they will be posted as things hit me during the day. A Blog may be spawned by a smell that brings back a long ago filed memory or a sound like that of a mockingbird that puts me in my grandmothers backyard when I was 7.
My hope is to get everyone who reads the Blog to just remember those times and share them. I hope as you read my memories you'll begin to remember too.
Jamie.

Finally the long awaited blog begins... I'm a fan already, let the stories flow!
Wow what a fantasy. I am sure phychologists around the world will be held captive, as they research their next subject....the blog is cool, but the books that pop up on the best seller list are what I'm waiting for.
This is awesome Jamie, I am proud, and the subject is perfect...I can't wait....what a guy.
Congrats. Can't wait to hear all your stories. I'm sure they're endless. I especially want to hear ones that are prank related :)
One of the first words I used to describe my impressions of Visalia was 'wholesome', which largely has to do with the fact that Jamie makes it his city of residence.
I am always captivated by Jamie's stories of the past and his profound appreciation for all things wholesome. He's the modern day Jimmy Stewart who can sing like Sinatra and charm like Danny Kaye. Plus he can lay a mean hardwood floor to boot!
I'm thrilled Jamie will be sharing his stories with one and all - he's Chicken Soup for the Nostalgic Soul.
