Beach Blast Re-Scheduled

Our June 21st BEACH BLAST BINGO has been changed to July 26th due to an illness in our host chapter. Wishing Hilda and her family a speedy recovery.

Change your calendar date girls, freshen up those tube tops and thongs and get ready to hit the sand!

Beachless Beach Blast!

Land or Sea, us old (some young)broads know how to have a good time. We're Clemmons bound on June 21 with our imagination in tow. If we're told we're at the beach then the beach it is....Thanks to the PURPLE BUTTERFLIES of the TRIAD for hosting this event of beach blanket bingo, catch of the day door prizes, shopping on the boardwalk, flip flop 50/50 raffle and top it all of with a sea side luncheon. Adorn those red or pink hats, put on your sun screen and we'll see you at the beach.

Failed Attempt

Deborah or myself managed to get to the Queen's council meeting on May 3, 2008. Deborah was sick with crud and I've torn some cartilage in my knee and still under doctors care as I up date this long ignored blog spot on May 18. Missed seeing our regulars and missed the chance to meet new friends. Hope to see every one soon.

Have a RED HAT day.

Shine up those Scepters

Wishing every one a safe and happy journey to the Queen's Council in Winston Salem tomorrow, Saturday May 3, 20
Don't forget to wear flowers on that spring bonnet.

Happy 10th Birthday

Red Hat Society

APRIL 25
The year was nineteen ninety-eight

And on one special day

A group of girlfriends joined their hands

And ventured out to play.
They went to feast on scones and tea

On April twenty-fifth

They never could have guessed this thought

Would prove to be a gift!
Around the lacy tablecloth

They sipped and munched and chatted

In shades of purple they were garbed

And each one was red hatted!
Drinking tea and giggling

They had their best time, ever

When had they shared such fun before?

The answer? It was never!
So they decided on the spot

They'd meet like this again.

They'd ask their other friends to come

And tell them where and when.
This new "Red Hat Society"

(Yes, that's the name they chose)

Began that very afternoon

As everybody knows.
Now friendship, fun and sisterhood

Are spreading 'round the world'

Cause nothing is as fun, it seems,

As playing with the girls!
A Birthday Poem from Sue Ellen

Laughter is the best medicine!

Q: Where can men over the age of 50 find younger, sexy women who are interested in them?

A: Try a bookstore-------under fiction.

Q: What can a man do while his wife is going through menopause?
