WELCOME
A Plume of C'attitude is an official Red Hat Society Chapter. Our name means "an aire of pride and contentment in ourselves in spite of aging!" We are learning new things, going new places, meeting new people and most of all having fun and adventures at this special time in our lives. We welcome you to browse our website and wish you the same contentedness in your life.
On the night of the First Christmas, the beasts and birds quickly flocked to Bethlehem to honor the Baby Jesus. Among those visitors was the Cat. Unlike most of the animals, who were somewhat noisy in their eagerness to see the Child, the Cat came quietly on her padded paws. While the other animals pushed forward to look in the manger, the Cat stood back shyly. Nor could she kneel in the praise, as the others did, for she was too awed by the sight to move at all. When the deer, lion, pheasant, rabbit, and fox burst into a hymn to Jesus, the Cat could only make a low, nervous tremble that caught in her throat. As the sun rose in the morning, the animals returned home to the wild, one by one. Only the Cat remained in the stable. She continued to gaze upon the beautiful Nativity scene, unwilling to go back to her home in the forest. Mary noticed how the Cat stayed. She looked upon the animal's proud, serious face and smiled. "I bless you, Cat," she said. "From now on, you will never have to go back to the wilderness. Instead, wherever there are warm homes and caring people, you shall be there too." Today, the gleam in the cat's eyes still speaks of her first life in the wild; her sharp claws and wild, lonely cry at night are other reminders of that time. But just feel a cat purr sweely in your arms, or cuddle up against your leg--and you will think of Mary's blessing of the Cat on that very First Christmas.
Affair of the Heart in Tulsa, Saturday July 15th.
We will meet in the front of the building under the Driller.
Dinner will be at Western Sizzler at 21st & Sheridan at 6:00. Bring your purchases to show off! See you then.

Don't forget your Secret Sister!!!
WOMEN
By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of working overtime... An angel appeared and said,"Why are you spending so much time on this one?" And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart -and she will do everything with only two hands." The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands!? No way! And that's just on the standard model that's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish." But I won't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick and can work 18 hour days." The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But you have made her so soft, Lord." "She is soft," the Lord agreed but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish." "Will she be able to think?", asked the angel. The Lord replied, "Not only will she will be able to think she will be able to reason and negotiate. The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman''s cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one." "That is not a leak," the Lord corrected, "that's a tear!" "What is the tear for?" the angel asked. The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride." The angel was impressed. "You are a genuis Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing." And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happines, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They do not take "no" for an answer when they belive there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when an friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or email you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope, and love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH!!! You are amazing!!!!!
WHEN I AM AN OLD CAT
I shall wear a diamond collar and leave my footprints on white couches. I shall drink my cream with a touch of brandy and spit out my vitamins. I shall sit on the laps of dog people just to irritate them. I shall nap on top of the neighbor's petunias and perch on top of birdbaths and grow charmingly chubby. But for now I must tolerate the dog and use my litter box and not sharpen my claws on the sofa, so no one can doubt the truth that cats are superior to dogs. But every once in a while I wonder if I should be naughty now and then and nip a few toes, so my humans won't be too shocked when suddenly I become an old cat and start to wear a diamond collar. Cat's Motto "No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it." --Unknown
