Saturday Husband
Walter and I were waiting for our order of beignets at a packed Café du Monde
in New Orleans’ French Quarter. I was busy people watching when it registered
that couples and groups all around us were snapping photos, all with heads
close together.
Couples, groups of
girlfriends, parents and kids, all enjoying a festive, perfect day. I caught
the photo frenzy.
“Walter, I want a
picture of us.” He took several shots with my camera.
Where’s Hubby?
His attempts caught
me but missed himself.
He handed me the
camera for me to try. I got both of us in the frame but a wobbly hold created
fuzzy results. Hubby tried teamwork, me aiming and snapping with his hand
steadying my forearm.
Success!
And that is our
record of a happy day, just in time to stash the camera and enjoy the beignets
that arrived hot and piled with powdered sugar.
This is a WONDERFUL picture, and a reminder of a good day. You should use it as your Christmas card!
