On a rainy afternoon I stepped out my front door to go marketing , walking down the street, framed nicely for a photo, I met Maid Marion. On her way to a hardware story to get the screen repaired she gracious consented to having her portrait taken. While chatting I learned that she originally is from Evanston and Chicago, Illinois, where I once lived while sowing my wild oats, but she is now living in Minnesota. In my neighborhood! She went to Grinnell for college, and we discovered another coincidence. While in school she knew another student whom I taught when he was in high school where I used to teach. I love all these little human connections and surprises!
how cute is she with her frame! :) nice to have so many connections with a newly-discovered neighbor. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere's Robin Hood when you need him?
ReplyDeleteI think he was home, waiting for the screen to be repaired and delivered!
DeleteShe has a great smile!
ReplyDeleteWild oats, eh.
What a cute photo of Marion that you took and what a perfect opportunity to get to know a neighbor.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...the days of wild oats! Isn't it nice to meat friendly neighbors?
ReplyDelete(I'll be traveling 'til mid-June. I'll have some posts in my absence but won't be visiting other blogs. See you when I get back!)
Nice smile. Here's more coincidences: We lived in Chicago and Glenview and I spent many hours in Evanston. I also lived in Minnesota - Wilmar, Duluth, and Minneapolis. Not St. Paul, though.
ReplyDeleteSure looks the Marion kind...
ReplyDeleteSmall world, and a good portrait!
ReplyDeleteYou meet such nice people, they are all so happy posing for you. You have a talent to please them and have them smile.
