Sally Rose -- Missouri

My friend Sally. A prolific writer and wearer of
cowboy hats whether she needs 'em or not.

“I can wear a hat, too, Paul!” she yelled when she saw me.

“I see that!” I said. “And you look good in it, too,” I told her. “Lemme take your picture for My Hats Blog.”

So she let me take her picture while she was working at our writers’ conference Check-In desk last November.

“Oh, you know, I grew up in Oklahoma and wore a cowboy hat all the time. Moved up here and only wear it once in awhile now. But I like your hat, Paul.”

(I like it when people say, 'I like your hat, Paul.')

I see her every month at other meetings. We’re good friends and she always finds a way to tease me about something. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
