Several months ago I was in Quincy IL at a diner and saw a group of women (ok, there was a man or two), who all had large red hats and occasional feathery boas, and various loud red and purple outfits. They appeared to be having a grand old time, enough that I asked them what kind of a group they were- one woman told me "we are the red hats". I thought it was just a local woman's group.... until the bookstore today. I saw a book today on the Society of the Red Hats... a group started by a woman buying large red hats for her friends who were turning 50 and should be enjoying life. This sounds like a great way to symbolically celebrate small wonderful parts of life.
Anyone else run into one of these groups? Anyone got a story of similar groups that get together for the fun of it? (ok, maybe it is just the updated version of the bowling league theme, but I thought it was cool.) Dee Still gotta actually buy and read the book :-) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
