The Peachy Story - (Ben, Tim and Philip loved this story about their Uncles Jim and Don)

Once upon a time, there were two boys that lived on a farm... their names were Jimmy and Donnie.

They were usually good little boys, but every once in a while they got into mischief.

Well, their mother went to the store in town and bought some big, beautiful, ripe, yellow, yummy peaches! She was so happy! She took them home and washed them, peeled them, cut them up, cooked them... then put them into big glass jars and put lids on the jars. Then she took the big glass jars full of peaches down into the cool, dark basement. She put the jars high onto shelves in the basement.

jars and jars of peaches

When she was finished, she looked at the jars of yummy peaches and she was soooo happy because she knew that now her family would have yummy peaches in the winter when there were no fresh peaches!!! Then she walked back upstairs and did not come down into the basement for several weeks.

When she did come back down stairs later, she looked over at her jars of peaches.... but she was horrified!!!! She just couldn't believe what she saw!!!! There.... were.... almost.... NO .... JARS OF PEACHES on the shelves!!!! She wondered what happened to my peaches?!?!?!?!?.... Then she said.....

Jimmiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee.... Donnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee...... you boys come down here right this INSTANT!

The boys came running to their mom right away! Then she said to them, "Do you boys know where my peaches are???????" They said...... "yes, mother....".

The boys took her a long way out into the field where their playhouse was.... and do you know what they found in their playhouse????

That’s right!!! EMPTY JARS OF PEACHES!!!!!!

Note: Dad always tickled the boys at this point & they loved it!
