The Very Definition of Impetuous…

If you looked for impetuous in a dictionary, you would find my mother in the definition.  Mom’s and my little dilettante ended up with us carrying both Maggie and Caramel out to the veterinarian for their annual booster shots and a checkup this afternoon.

“You will be glad to have it done,” mom told me patting me on the knee as we drove to Dr.Thomas’  I had vehemently complained that I didn't want to do this today earlier.  For some reason, I just haven’t felt entirely up to snuff and have found it hard leaving the threshold that is my front door. 

I will have to admit that mom was right, though.  I am glad to have that finished with for another year as it’s traumatic to the dogs and equally traumatic to their owner.

Chicken Livers Anyone?

I was just standing in Mrs. Florene’s bright yellow and cheery kitchen a moment ago as she was frying french fries and chicken livers on her stove. 

“Stay and eat with us!” Mrs. Florene begged. 

“I am fixing to head home,” I shyly replied as I waited for George to return from his room with some things he owes me.

“Do you like chicken livers?” Florene asked inquisitively.

“When I was younger, I loved them,” I told her. “But they have grown out of favor as I have gotten older. Their taste can me kind of overwhelming and strong.”
