Episode 1048

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Bert sits in Hooper's Store forlornly reading a postcard and orders a luncheon meat sandwich (not too spicy and hold everything). Mr. Hooper complies and finishes setting out some saucers when Susan comes in and asks Bert about his postcard. Bert explains that it's from Ernie; he's staying with his aunt and uncle who have a cabin on Lake Winnewonga. With Bert's permission, Mr. Hooper reads the postcard out loud which is filled with all the activities Ernie's been doing with his "old buddy," Tom.
Susan notices how depressingly Bert is staring at his sandwich, and relates to him a story about the time Gordon went away on a fishing trip and left her home feeling like she was missing out on something (even though she admits to not caring about fishing). Bert says he feels the same way: left out, lonely, and resentful of the fact that Ernie's only been gone three days and he's already got a new "old buddy."
Susan reveals that her experience with time away from her spouse eventually made her realize that there were all kinds of things she could do on her own without anyone else around. So she spent a couple of days taking out all her photography equipment (including setting up a number of tripods all over the house), and occupied herself with taking pictures and developing them for two solid days. Bert cheers up at the opportunity to polish up his paper clip collection, which is hard to do with Ernie around. He's so excited that he heads home to start digging into his hobby, leaving his sandwich behind for Susan and Mr. Hooper to share.
