So they loaded up the truck...

The Beverly Hillbillies, remember them? What a wacky bunch! Grandma reminds me of my mom, ready to smack you upside the head with country wisdom. Ellimae and her cute critters, she always cracked me up. Jethro was a real country bumpkin and he loved the ladies. And poor Jed, always trying to keep everyone's head on straight. He walked around saying, "now granny!". Joey loves it, when around six o'clock, we start singing the theme song. "Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed, a poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed. Then one day, he was shooting at some food and up through the ground came a bubbling crude, Oil, that is! Black gold, Texas tea. Well, the next thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire, the kinfolk said: 'Jed, move away from here!' They said, 'Californey is the place you outta be!' So they loaded up their truck and they moved to Beverly, Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars!" Honest, when it gets to the part "the kin-folk said: 'Jed, move away from here! They said, 'Californey is the place you outta be!'... Joey's eyes light up and he has a great smile on his face. Hum, wonder why? And we really get into the part 'so they loaded up their truck and they moved to Beverly'...Davey looks over at me and says, "You did that!" We watch the show together and laugh, we really enjoy it. Good clean fun. And they learn life lessons, too. Like how to cook possum in gigantic pots, how not to woo ladies, how to bathe "critters" and how to give your banker "agita" and, like Jed: how to be generous and wise, all while taking care of the family. Tune in to 'Nick at Night', evenings at six and enjoy all the hilarity. From Our 'Californey' Front Porch to yours...Ana & Andy.
