There's nothing like a blurry picture to give one a disgust of one's photography skills---yet---clearly--I am not the person behind the camera this time. No, indeed, that is me in front of the camera. (The Spouse, the man behind the camera, doesn't use it much and hasn't had the chance to learn how to compensate for its aged eccentricities nor the fact that it has been dropped on its wee head three or four times too many.) Here I am, celebrating the fact that I sold 25 of the 29 books I had brought with me to the Holiday Fair at the elementary school. It mattereth not that I sold 21 of said volumes to people with whom I attend church who were no doubt taking pity on me, or that three of the others went to more kind souls whom I know, and that only one went to a total stranger passing by (she was a hard sale, let me tell you, I practically had to chase her down the aisle which I couldn't because I was so darn twisted up in my blanket to ward off the 40 degree chill that I would have no doubt tripped and done a facer while my quarry got clean away--but all's well that ends well). What I find amusing about this picture is that it looks as if I am holding some festive whatnot in my hand.
If you look more closely (and how can you not when I have added this here scary enlargement?) you will see there is nothing in my hand and that The Spouse snapped this photo whilst I was in the midst of attempting to explain to him the ins and outs of my "special" camera (with a frozen smile pinned to my face because it was cold and because I never knew when he was actually going to push the button). All the other pics he took were even more blurry than these. (Also, my face is not like that of a chipmunk--I was tilting my head up because he standing and I was sitting--and my eyes aren't usually like little slits in my chubby face though my teeth are generally pretty yellow as pictured . . .sigh).
