We were surprised to learn that Momma’s restaurant, our neighborhood hangout run by Louise Fairbanks, was going to open on Easter. Nothing much around her is open on Easter, especially restaurants, bowing to the one holiday that hasn’t been turned over yet to discount shopping. Louise said last year she had three customers all day, none at the bar. So we figured that Momma’s was the appropriate place for us to take a break from digging the lilac bushes and eat at Momma’s, a place we are very comfortable. My Easter lunch was a turkey wrap with coleslaw, Maria’s was a veggie wrap.

Louise did have a few people in there, but I browbeat her into posing at the bar. She is a strong woman, and strong woman make for great photographs. Some day I would love to open a Strong Woman Photo Gallery, but that perhaps ought best to be done by a female photographer. For some reason, I don’t want to photograph strong men.
