The Red Hatters Ride Again

Mom and I had a great time at our Red Hat meeting last night. It was at an old farm house and was very homey and fun. We ate in a big kitchen with tables all decorated with purple table cloths, and pink and red plates and napkins. We each had a champagne glass filled with valentines candies and chocolates and covered with red netting and a silver ribbon as our table favors. We had chili, cheese and crackers and a wonderful black forest cake for dessert. We had kool-aid to drink because it went with our colors...Red, Pink lemonade and grape....
While we were eating a little kid came in the back door...in a hat and carrying a big purple handbag that looked like it had been sat on...
It was Janet's (hostess for the night). GRANDSON!!!! Grandpa had taken him out into the garage and dressed him up like a Red Hat girl....we all about spit our chili out laughing... He ran away pretty quick, so no time for a pic.

The rest of the evening some of them made beaded bracelets with purple and red beads, MK and I didn't make any because we knew if we wanted a REALLY pretty bracelet we would just have Doris make one for us...can't mess with perfection. Some of them were working on scrap booking. We visited and got to know the ones we didn't know for sure. It was fun. When we left we each got a scrapbook, just for Red Hat ladies with a beautiful Red Hat design on the front. So that was our night...with much laughing...too many things to even remember....it started when Wilma put her hat on sideways and it went down hill from there!
We are going to attend the Spring Fling in southern Illinois the first of April, which is a big convention, so I am looking forward to that! Their theme this year is: New York Lady.....guess I need to make a trip to New York to see how they all dress..
