Josie always seemed to appear at just the right time! When Jim and I started living on the mountain, there were things we needed to learn and Josie was always there to guide us. One sunny September afternoon, a few months after we moved here, Jim and I were getting into our car, when Josie came walking into our driveway. "And where are you going?" she asked loudly. Feeling a little on the defensive, I stammered that we were going to the dentist. "No you aren't." she said firmly and with authority. I gave her a puzzled look. She explained that the roads in the valley were flooded due to the recent heavy rains from a hurricane, and that we would have to wait until the water receded before we could go anywhere. Apparently floodng was not uncommon with such heavy rain, and the dentist office was completely understanding when I called to say we wouldn't be there. And Josie was there to keep us safe.
Then there was the time that Josie showed up at the house Jim and I were building. That place was way up the moutain and much further away from Josie and Marion's house. It was a Sunday evening, and I was working frantically in the garage, staining exterior window trim boards before it got dark, because the crew needed them the next day. Jim was out of town, and I was trying to do the job by myself, with only one hand and hobbling around with a cane weeks after a hip replacement. There I was with many 12 foot boards spread out on saw horses, slathering them with stain and then acrylic. And here comes Josie, walking up the drive. She began helping me with my project, with both words of encouragement and physical labor.
How did Josie know to show up, just when she could be the greatest help? It was uncanny. I came to think of her as my guardian angel! Thank you, Josie.
