The Chocolate Festival.

Girls, you don't know what you missed today by not joining Princess La Di Dah, Mistress of Merriment and Lady of the Rings. We started with lunch at a french restaurant called La Creperie and had some delicious crepes, and then we needed to walk off what we just ate, and took a stroll down Second Street in Belmont Shore and visited places along the street and had chocolate turtle brownies, chocolate mousse canolas, and chocolate cookies filled with chocolate mousse. Yum-yum! Of course, there were other goodies from bakeries, ice cream places etc. that we never got around to tasting. There is always next year!

FEBRUARY 4-FEBRUARY 9 CARNIVAL PARADISE CRUISE The four ladies that went to Catalina and Ensenada, Mexico are Lady Wants It All, Royal Butterfly, Vice Queen Lady Spin and Win and Queen Lady Sharon. Some of us signed up for offshore excursions and enjoyed the bus trips very much from both excursions. We met with about 30 other red hatters that were onboard this ship, and doing what red hatters do best-have fun! There was a PJ Breakfast, games and prizes, and a tea party. The decorating of our doors was great fun since the doors were steel and we could only use magnets. So we all came prepared in advance and enjoyed doing this activity, too.

As a side note, there has been some feedback regarding the giving of little gifts at the meetings. It is fun, and most appreciated, but it is not mandatory, strictly optional. If you want to give everyone a gift when you are coordinating a lunch and/or event, feel free, but please don't criticize those who choose to or not to.

We are looking forward to another fun filled year.

FEBRUARY 14 TBN, TRINITY BROADASTING The address is: 3150 Bear Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. The time will be at 11:30 a.m. and this will give members time to shop in the store. Then we will have lunch about noon to 12:30 p.m. Then some may choose to take in one of their full length movies after lunch at 1:30 or 2:30-there are different movies at these times. Don't forget this is Valentine's Day, so wear something red (other than the hat if you would like too)!

From the feedback that I have been receiving, this was a good choice of a place to visit. There are some very good food choices on the menu, so try something else other than the senior special next time! There were some people who signed up but didn't show up, so, just as a reminder, please let the Ruby Jewel person know if your not attending an event if you signed up for something, but something else interferes with your plans. Some of us even stayed for the full length movie afterwards.

FEBRUARY 19 Fashions by Nena's of La Habra. $30, lunch choice, Lasagna, cheese tortelloni with chicken in cream sauce or vegetarian lasagna.

What a great time!The Fashion Show by Nena's store had both red and purple clothes, as well as, beautiful clothes for all occasions. Some of us spent time doing what we do best-vendor shopping!

MARCH 13 Luncheon MIMI'S RESTAURANT AT 12:30 p.m. on Brookhurst and Ellis in Fountain Valley. Don't forget to wear "red clothes and purple hat".

We had a great turnout and a great time at our anniversary lunch. Lots of upcoming events were discussed and sign up sheets sent around. Our little waitress was very attentitive to our needs. Everyone seemed to love the tote bags that were given out as anniversary gifts.

There were two guests from the Purple Plums of Fountain Valley. We all enjoyed the above luncheon with tea and scones, too. You lucked out by not getting pinched,if you wore green.
