Guest blogger for a day on Corey Amaro's Tongue in Cheek. An honor. To win one must submit a story idea. The competition was fierce and her readers loyal. I suggested an advice column. "I have a white sock and sandal wearing husband. What's a peep toe wearing wife to do?" Most reader's suggestions came in the way of "Not interested in any guest blogger. We only want France, the brocante and you Corey."
I had won along with Kiki from Paris. She too likes to take photographs and sent me a gracious note congratulating me on the shared win.
The story idea would be told in photographs. For two months, my husband questioned the photographing of his sock drawers. Leaving him with this thought. "She likes them and I should wear them more often."
I immediately changed story idea.
Which lead me to story idea number two.
Chelsea,
Corey's daughter.
She was spending a semester in San Francisco on an exchange program from France.
We had planned to meet.
A blind lunch date.
Reservations for two at the Zuni Cafe 1:00 PM on a Sunday afternoon.
I brought my camera.
Tucked it into my bag.
Postcards for Corey…
Gift for a Mother who missed her daughter terribly.
Charming, beautiful and funny Chelsea.
Full of love.
We had lunch and shared an espresso.
She spoke of home, family, life, travel, school and dreams.
Captivated.
I soon forgot about the camera in my bag.
Which leads me to story idea number three.
We had skipped dessert.
So, here it is.
Guest blogger for a day..
If we had ordered dessert.
