Yes, I have said it before--it seems in life that we don't remember days, but we remember moments. And this photo offers up a special moment for me, special in that it was utterly spontaneous and really sweet.
After shopping for our usual mundane groceries, Elizabeth spied the flower stand at the market and willy nilly picked up a bunch of flowers of all different types. After chiding her to "put them back", I realized the colors were really pretty together. Realizing that she had already become attached to these flowers, I caved in and bought them and the woman behind the counter turned them into a lovely bouquet.
It was a sunny day out and Elizabeth walked out of the store looking as if she was on her way to a wedding. A man called out, "I think I just saw Miss America walk by."
It was a really special moment, precisely because we hadn't planned it to be.
