![]() Happy that you found us! We are a small group of Red Hatters from the Minneapolis and surrounding area. Our group ages vary from 34 years old to 92 years old. Each of us has a royal name. I am Queen Late Bloomer. Each lady was told that they needed to think of a royal name, and if they didn't I would name them. They all have found their names in very short order. Guess they didn't trust me. I don't know Lady Poope Pants has a ring to it, don't you think? THE RED HATS IN THE SUNSET PRAYER THE SENILITY PRAYER : Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Poem
The Poem that started it all "Warning" by Jenny Joseph When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . . She goes on to say maybe she should start now.

RED HAT TEN COMMANDMENTS 1. Thou shalt use your Red Hat powers for good deeds (bring joy and laughter to all you meet). 2. Thou shalt eat thy favorite foods, including chocolate. After all, diet is just a four letter word. 3. Thou shalt be a kindred spirit in your sisterhood. Keep your confidences and friendships strong. 4. Thou shalt put on the glitz! Wear purple glory, big red hats, flashy jewelry, feathers: be a Dame! 5. Thou shalt play. Be young in heart and mind and your body will follow--at least most of the time! 6. Thou shalt welcome the curious and explain the wonders of Red Hat to all who ask, especially small children and handsome men. 7.Thou shalt accept the things you cannot change, big or small. We're good at rolling with the punches. 8. Thou shalt aspire to anything in life at any age. It's never to late to skydive. 9. Thou shalt honor thy age and the need to be a little bad. 10. Thou shalt repeat the first nine commandments,over and over and over. posted by Sassi Ladi, Carol Sayres | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
