In my continuing quest for ladies with hats, I saw Renee heading my way (I hope I spelled this correctly). I waited a few seconds before approaching her, so that we would meet at a spot with decent light. She was a bit shy, but was not (too) hesitant.

She was born in Sarasota and went to a local high school. She still LOVES the area. When Renee walks around town, she meets her old classmates and even dogs that she knows. She would never leave.

It's refreshing to meet someone who is not constantly hunting for greener pastures.
