This was from a Luncheon Harbor Cruise in NYC I took Mom on for Mother's Day. As we were boarding, we were stopped halfway up the gangway for a forced photo shot to sell to us at the end of the cruise. Caught by surprise, and not one to succumb to any pressured purchase, Mom gave an "I'm not buying this photo" sneer. However, even though she hated her expression, she bought it anyway because I was in it with her. LOL As much as she cringed at her expression each time she saw it, she always had this displayed in her living room because of the memory of the nice day we enjoyed — I now have it displayed in my living room.
