Alone in the Cold

Joe left me today! Not for good (I hope). He went to Florida without me. He's driving down with Dr. Tomusk. That makes me a little nervous. Two senior citizens with no female supervision. Joe gets lost driving in parking lots and Tommy is a little less than observant sometimes. Everyone stop and say a quick prayer that they make it in one piece. Not to mention they have a kayak tied to the top of the car. If nothing else, they should be easy to spot; the kayak is bright yellow. I am staying behind here in frigid Ft. Wayne to help take care of grand babies and stay close to my mom. Mom by the way asked me why I was letting Joe go to Florida by himself. As if I control his every move. Ok, maybe I think I control his every move, but in reality he does have a mind of his own. Besides, he deserves all of the pleasures in life that come his way. He's worked hard and he is a good and selfless man. I just like to think that he needs me to take care of him. He can take care of himself, he just wouldn't do it well enough to suit me. Actually I think it's me that needs the supervision. I tend to get myself in trouble when I don't have Joe around to keep my crazy ideas in check. Maybe you should say a prayer for me too, that I don't cut off a finger using my saw or fall off of the roof because I think I can straighten the weather vane on the barn myself. (I have thought about it.) When were apart I guess we're both a little aimless, but together we're a good team. I miss him already!
