The Bread Line

In the Great Depression there were bread lines. People waited for hours to receive a morsel of bread for their families. It was a shame to be so poor that you had to wait on line for bread. It was by need and not by choice. Last night my husband waited on a cake line. He wanted to have a cannoli for dessert and drove 3 miles to his favorite bakery. He took a number at the door. His number was 83 and they were only up to 50. He waited so long that he needed to come back to the car for a 5 minute break to rest his leg. He then got back on the line. In total, he waited 35 minutes. I would have walked out when I saw number 83. I hope he enjoyed his cake.
