Hey Ellen by Allison

Hey Ellen

Today I picked Aaron up from school, and went to a local coffee shop. Walking in Aaron said "hey Ellen" and one of the customers sat near the door turned around and said "hey how are you doing".........."huh..do I know you"........."you said hi....hi Ellen"......."no, I said hey Ellen....look Ellen DeGeneres is on TV"...."oh my name is Ellen also" :-). Anyway he started chatting to this lady.....she didn't mind, as she was encouraging it, and I could hear "I used to watch Ellen when I was a baby"...."why does she dress like a man", that's when I knew it was time to rein him in ;-) lol
Haha, funny encounter that was :D This is gorgeous!! Love the bokeh against the rain.

Haha, I do the same thing only I say "Hey asshole!" when I walk in the door. Almost everyone looks! It's amazing how many people go by that nickname... ;)

YAY - there's my girl :) Allison- I actually signed on to the site today while at work to check on you as I'd not seen one of your pics in what seemed like a few days and I was sorta worried. In all honesty, one of YOUR pics was the deciding factor to me committing to my project this year. Here you are, alive and well with another KICK ASS shot - you go girl, here's my FAV :)
