Today was my first visit to the newly re-opened Freezer Fresh. I went twice, just because I could. The owner’s son and my lifelong friend, Tim Franklin, was lending a hand. I watched him ask the girls for instruction on this and that until, finally, I took a shot of him at the milkshake stand. I don’t think he knew whether to laugh or cry. Really, he was too busy to do either. But the photo… it’s so beautifully layered with color and symbolism that I don’t think I could have planned it better: me, and Tim, and the really cute guy sporting the traditional Sorghum Festival ware with a smile as wide as the sky, atop stacks of styrofoam cups and napkins and passing trucks. Yes, it was as fine a day as I’ve ever had, and that banana milkshake never tasted so good.
