What’s that beat up 1930s Ford doin’ in the driveway? Oh well! I’m starved! Momma! Get the door for me so I can haul in these pies! What the? Watch out! There’s a ding dang monkey wearin’ one of those little red hats swingin’ from Meemaw’s antique chandelier! And what’s that racket in the kitchen!
“Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.” Ploink!
“What’s’a’matter with ya? Ya nuts?”
“Hand me that turkey.”
“Why soitenly!”
Oh. My. Ever. Livin’. Gosh! Meemaw’s done hired The Three Stooges to cook up Thanksgivin’ supper! I sense a disaster! I sense a disaster! What the? I smell smoke! Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Watch out!

FREE! FREE I SAY! But, y’all need to keep your receipt. Plus you’d still be responsible for the sales tax or the mean ole IRS will slap Ben into a new tax bracket! Right! So anyway Ben says if you’re gonna buy jewelry as a gift this Christmas, why not buy it from Whidby Jewelers and get a chance to get your fab gifts fo free foo!
Wow! Let Ben pay for your Christmas y’all! I totally dig it and just know my handsome husband will too!
