Today I had to take Boomer to the vet for her annual shots. As I sat in the waiting room a couple came in carrying a small dog. It looked like some kind of wire-haired terrier, small, white, with some black markings. I never talk to people in the vet’s office unless it is clear [...]
Homecoming Parade
This morning there was a Homecoming parade in town. Floats, marching bands, dignitaries in convertibles. The people on the floats always throw candy to the kids along the parade route.
