I have often seen this woman having coffee with friends at Lund's grocery store in Highland Village, and just as often have admired her hat because the silver band reminds me of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Today I stopped to chat with Marion, a 78-year-old Minneapolis resident who buses over to St. Paul frequently to visit a 90-year-old shut-in friend of hers. We had a lovely talk about her hat and her 11-year-old grandson who has given her some fashion tips. She said that she had been a little depressed this morning, but our chat cheered her up considerably. Guess I'll stop to talk with perfect strangers more often!
Good things happen when you meet strangers.

ReplyDeleteIt's really cool you have the idea to make portrait like this. I think I'm too shy to ask the question if I could take a picture to somebody I meet in the street.
ReplyDeleteWhat's Virginia doing in St Paul?
ReplyDeleteCute cat in a hat, imagine that! Nice portrait!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful post, Kate.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely one of your best, Kate. What a beautiful woman and you truly caught her magic. And yes, you should most definitely stop and talk to perfect strangers more often. My goodness, yes! Not surprised you cheered her up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a heartwarming post! Beautiful lady, beautiful hat, and such a snappy dresser!
ReplyDeleteLooks like she's ready for a trip to the Southwest. Maybe Santa Fe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifu woman, hat, story and portrait! Well done, Kate. Glad that you took some time to spread some happiness. We all need to do it more often. We speak to strangers all the time on line, why not in person!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you were able to brighten this lady's day. What a treat to meet new people! And I bet she is an interesting woman. Only someone neat would wear a hat like that!
ReplyDeleteA portrait with a lot of character to it. An awesome photo Kate!
ReplyDeleteI really like this portrait
