Darlene

You might remember this girl from an earlier post of mine. 

 

She is twenty seven years old...divorced from her first husband and currently engaged to be married to her second one.

She hangs around Burbank and I hang around Burbank.  In the Lord's providence ...we've talked three times over the last three years.

Darlene graciously obliged me again when I pulled out my phone and asked her if it would be alright if I snapped a few photos.

She works with yarn and usually has pet rats...last time four but this time only one.   

This purse...she made out of an old pair of pants. 

She never uses a pattern for any of her designs and she has an itchy foot.  That is why her sneaker is off.

P.S.  It is not always the wisest thing to do...taking photos of homeless people.  Each situation is different.  With her...I feel somewhat safe.

Both times...her brother -in-law has shown up...almost immediately to make sure things are cool.  He is very protective of Darlene.  When he appears... I bid my farewells and head out.
