I am so glad you liked my portrayal and that you like the series, and rest assured that I saw each and every one of your comments as they were made - and they made me feel so good! Unfortunately, the real world got in my way and played with my time and my emotions, and surprisingly, this dramatically affected my ability to make art and to blog. And even to visit and comment. But I am back. Within the next few days I will be posting again (I hope). Thanks again, so much.

I like how Florida women wear jewelry right along with their sneakers. Through this series we all get to spend some time with your chosen people from the street....it reminds us that people are basically the same wherever.

I can see her tired after a trip to Publix standing beside the road wondering if the "new man" in the apartments will show up at the bingo game.... And now you have identified yourself as a serial drive-by snapper!! I was chuckling at the "didn't turn my head"(smile) I also like the description of you and your accountant as having "more character". I MUST remember that.
