Camille and Don’s Louisiana Reception

We’ve known Camille most of her life and Saturday she and Don married in our Parish Church.
The family held a fun Louisiana reception, and this was their “first dance.”

 


One of our French traditions is a “money dance” where you pay to dance with the bride and groom. Kathy gets a dance with Don.

. . . for ice cream


My entry into the Street Photography Salon for October. Didi Gilson’s Comment: “The desatch (my shorthand term for less saturated colors) of course gives the photo an apt old-timey effect which is effective. As does the boy’s offering his tempting wares. There’s the handwritten sign & the “SUMMER IS HERE” slogan and impression with the large, comforting tree and crowd in the background (park or back yard)… the webbed chair & cooler waiting for us to relax with some possibly handmade treat. I’m not sure if I find the orange color of the cold stuff outrageously endearing, appetizing or just sort’ve an enigma. This photo has a Norman Rockwell appeal.” My reply: “Oh yeah! David’s Ice Cream flavor of the week was Peach that week, and that was the real color; in fact, trying to get the ice cream right led to the muted colors in the whole scene, (that I kinda liked.)” Her reply: “Ah, that’s PEACHY, Sonny. Thanks for settling that for me. I can understand you going for that palette to suit um… the fruit!”

Happy Birthday, Kathy

We had a  birthday weekend in New Orleans celebrating Kathy’s birthday.  We spent time with Adam and Savanna, and Kathy’s folks went with us.  Had some Birthday cake after the Saint’s game.  Nice weekend.
