Two happy photograph stories, while I'm on the subject:

One. When we all got back here to Fredonia, I snuck into Tom's dad's car a little tupperware of cookies and a card, as thank you for putting me up for that week earlier this summer. The card'd come out really pretty, I used a photo I took in the park in Huntington, that Tom and I walked around one day.. it was really pretty there, and the picture was of this little area by the pond where there are trees all around and there's a little stone bridge connecting a little island to the main grounds.
Tom told me the other day.. his dad really, really loved it. He was all complimenting the composition and saying it was well-framed, with the trees and the placement of things and all of this.. and he walked around the park trying to sort out where I'd taken it from - it turns out the bridge area is one of his favourite spots in the park.
That.. really made me happy, for a lot of different reasons. ^____________^
(And it's so sweet, seeing how much Tom and his dad are alike.. I can so picture him doing the same thing. *g*)

Two. I'd gotten prints made of this picture for both Tom and I, picked up some frames, gave him his for our anniversary.. it's sitting on his dresser now. A friend of his stopped by the other day to hang out awhile, and saw the picture.. and asked Tom in surprise if he and I'd gotten married! *falls over giiiiiggling* (*and blushing!*) Apparently at first glance, it'd looked to him like Tom was wearing a suit and me a dress.. *giggleblushes all over* It was too cute, I wish I'd been there to see how flustered and adorable Tom must've been.. *G*
