My stomach clenched as I scanned the familiar list of activities that made up the weekend: the Pet-and-Person Beauty Contest, the Agility Contest, the 5K Run, the Obedience Trials, Microchipping the 2-Mile Waalk, and the Closing Ceremonies on the green. Throughout it all, restaurants like mine were allowed to run a booth where we handed out our coupons and free samples, and sold our signature espressos.

A signature espresso sounds great! I need to try this meme some Thursday.
ReplyDelete+JMJ+
ReplyDeleteI find that I'm more curious about the narrator's apparent nervousness than I about his (her?) signature expressos!
