She was sitting on a milk crate along Fisherman&#39;s Wharf. It was her sign that caught my attention. That and the little chihuahua whose head was poking out from under her coat. Her sign said, &quot;Just Hungry. No booze. No drugs.&quot; I told her about the $2 Portraits project and she smiled and agreed. When she told me her name was Frog, I must have given her a funny look because she asked if I knew what it stood for. Admitting I didn&#39;t, she smiled and said &quot;Fully Relying On God.&quot; I was rendered speechless.<br><br>I sat down next to her and we talked for a short while. Frog is 50 years old and is originally from Oregon. She used to work in the home health care industry (as a caretaker). I didn&#39;t get the full family history but Frog has 5 children ranging in age from 32 to 12, all girls. The youngest is living with her ex-husband and she has very little contact with her kids. Frog had a bright smile but it was hard for her to talk about her children - there was a sadness immediately below the surface. She perked up when we talked about her dog, Sophie. Frog moves up and down California, spending the winters south where the weather is milder. She is trying to get housing assistance in Southern California but the list is long. She panhandles daily to make enough to eat. <br><br>As our chat came to an end, I asked Frog her real name. After I promised not to use it on my blog, she told me. Despite her travails, Frog did not seem to be in despair. I gave her some $, thanked her for the conversation and wished her well.<br><br>Taken 10/19/11
