Cheers erupted at 7th and Montana this morning as the Dignified Walking Lady -- known for her long walks and arctic sense of style in 80-degree heat -- returned to Our Favorite Starbucks after a long hiatus. Last seen on October 28, 2007, the Dignified Walking Lady hasn't changed a bit. Her outfit -- a tweed skirt, heavy winter coat, woolen scarf, gloves and a broad-brimmed hat -- is the same. Her ivory-tipped walking stick is the same. Her limited command of the English language is the same. Even my conversation with her was the same. "Hello," I cried, "So nice to see you, again. Beautiful weather we're having, isn't it?" "Hi," she replied. "It's almost like Summer," I said. She smiled in response, tightened her scarf, waved goodbye and continued along her merry way. I, for one, am relieved to see her back in action. For a while there, I was afraid she might be stuck on an iceberg, floating out to sea ...!
Bless her heart...despite her garb, she'd still be cold at Nutwood! Brrr! 8° and dropping!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Beth
Hope it was not global warming that brought her back :o)
ReplyDeleteLove that hat, not too keen on the socks though.
ReplyDeleteGaz ;-)
She seems very nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's refreshing to have a little dignity after suffering through the newspaper thief and the Jittery nutcase and the like. (i know we hear mainly of the wacko's and there are a lot of really fine people there but you know what I mean).
ReplyDeleteMarty She is looking for the TiTantic
ReplyDeleteA good day, is a day above ground (or something like that). The Walking Lady is not only above ground, but walking. Kudos to her for enjoying the fresh air!
ReplyDeleteI have some clothes for her I will be mailing you.
