My heart skipped a beat! I have a new cell phone, with a camera that I haven\u2019t learned how to use. I thrust my cell phone at a Homeboy type who works at the thriftshop and said \u201cQuick, take a picture of that lady for me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He was so inept that I decided to just ask the lady if she\u2019d mind having her picture taken. She was a little surprised but obviously pleased. I told her that I thought her outfit was fabulous. I was mocking her but as I looked at her face, I realized what a terrible mistake I had made. She was a sweet, lovely old woman who had the nerve and creativity to dress up for a day out shopping. She was just trying to look beautiful. And she succeeded, far more than I ever could.&nbsp;\u00a0 See that lamb or doggie thing? That is her handbag! Too bad my phone camera didn\u2019t catch her big green rhinestone brooches.<\/p>\n<p>I promised to bring a copy of the photo to the thriftshop and leave it with the Homeboy. I love this Blue Thriftshop Lady and I hope I can be a better person because of her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to a thriftshop on Saturday and the first thing I saw was a wacky looking&nbsp;\u00a0 lady wearing an amazing get-up, looking through a rack of shirts.
