"Daddy left me, Dukey. He took the truck, left me a note. He made the lasagna. It was Momma's recipe. We had a terrible fight, and he left me to take care of the farm. You got to help me Dukey, I can't do it alone!!" Clara looked at Dukey, pulled the note out of her pocket and handed it to him.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Dear Clara,<br/><br/>This may come as a surprise, and I am sorry about that. I decided to take some time away from the farm and see some of the surrounding areas. I know that Dukey will take of you, and even though we don't see eye to eye, I am sure he cares for you.<br/><br/>He will take care of you, or I will take matters into my own hands when I return. By the way, I have taken Sukey with me so I am not totally alone.<br/><br/>You have the farm, you are grown enough to know how to care of it, you know where everything is. Responsibility comes with becoming an adult. I trust you and Dukey will be able to do what needs to be done. I will be in touch soon.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Daddy</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Besides, we got young'uns floating in the oven.."<br/><br/>
