The Coyote Call (Part 2)

December 3, 2017 by Tammy Gilbert

Last week I enlightened you on Cowboy’s grand idea of a family outing.  This outing included our kids, a coyote call and guns.   Folks, I’m just gonna go ahead and put this out there…
THIS IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN!!
So off we go on our coyote hunting family adventure, armed with coyote calls, guns, snacks and flashlights.  Apparently it’s best to go at night. Coyotes are nocturnal and move more in the p.m.  Also,  Cowboy tells me that it’s easier to see their eyes at night.  Wait…What?? You want me to look an animal in the eyes before I shoot it… no thanks!  I refuse to participate!
  But, being the supportive wife and mom that I am, I offer to drive the jeep, hold the flashlight and hand out snacks when needed.  Fifteen minutes later, we are set up and ready to hunt.
  Cowboy tells us the rules:
Rule #1:  Talk quietly  Rule #2:  No crying
For all of you non-hunters, have you ever heard a coyote call?  No?  Well that makes two of us.  I thought the idea of SHOOTING the coyote was horrible, but no, it’s actually THE CALL itself!   It makes a  sound that mimics a wounded rabbit.  My heart goes out to this rabbit that is wounded.
Back to the story-
The kids start to call the coyotes and the coyotes begin to howl back.  The more they call, the louder the howls get.  Cowboy tells us to watch for their eyes.  He and I sit back and watch the kids.  Listening to their conversation.
BOY WONDER:  (Talking to his sister)  You have to hold the flashlight still so I don’t miss, ok?
SWEET GIRL:  I promise I will but don’t hurt the rabbit, just the coyote.
BOY WONDER:  The rabbit is fake, it’s not really wounded.  But if there was a rabbit the coyote would kill it.
SWEET GIRL:  I see the eyes, just like daddy said.  Get ready to shoot!
Oh lord, here we go.  Our boy wonder is taking aim and he shoots… POP!  The coyote drops and they start to high five each other.
COWBOY:  Great shot!  How are you doing over there sweet girl?
SWEET GIRL:  I’m doing great daddy but you better go and help mom, she broke rule #2 and she’s a mess.
  ‘Til next Sunday ya’ll- Tammy

Did I ever tell you about the time I went to Loweโ€™s to buy paint and it leaked out of my suv all of the way home? Yep, left a paint trail all the way home. But thatโ€™s another story. Dumb salesperson who loaded it. If I ever see him again Iโ€™ll walk right up to him and poke his eyeballs out!

Back to my story-
I turned my music on and painted, danced and painted some more. Time flew by because whenโ€ฆ

There are times in our life that permanent cosmeti There are times in our life that permanent cosmetics makes our quality of life so much easier. Meet Ms Charlotte, she recently celebrated her 90th bday.  She has lived a life of beautiful memories.  Every time I get to see her she is nothing short of glamorous.  Her hair, clothes and makeup are impeccable.  And her perfume reminds of what a glamorous socialite would have worn back in the 50โ€™s. 

When she visited me today I asked her what I could help her with. 

She said that she would never EVER leave her house without her makeup being just right and with her tremors, it takes her a hot minute to get it โ€œjust perfectโ€. 

So I got busy designing her brows and selecting the perfect color for her lower eyeliner all while chatting with her about life.  What a treat!!

Once finished she hugged me and said she knew she had chosen the right artist.  She wanted someone that wouldnโ€™t try to make her look younger or faddish but timeless.

And then she said sheโ€™d see me next month.  I mentioned that  her that we didnโ€™t need to do a touchup on her brows OR her liner.

She says: โ€œOh honey, youโ€™ve done an excellent job on those but now itโ€™s time to do my lipsโ€.

ME:  Your lips? Are you sure?

HER: Absolutely! And no neutral colors for me.  I want fuchsia!  I donโ€™t want to look boring and pale!

Fuchsia it is then!
