Ida in her shack in Alabama

Ida is one of the most lonesome people I know of - living totally forgotten by people around her - far out on the back roads in Alabama's dense forest. Exactly therefore she bursts out in a scream of joy every time I come back to see her.
I have known her for 25 years and she especially enjoys when I bring friends with me - such as Anita Roddick from THE BODY SHOP.
