WARNING 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 flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at a go
or only bread and pickle for a week
and hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
and pay our rent and not swear in the street
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
when suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

 SC Queens Council Luncheon 3/7/09
 Lisa (Vice Queen/Purple Angel) and I (Queen Cherub) attended the South Carolina Queens' Council (SCQC) Luncheon in Rock Hill on Saturday, March 7, 2009. It was not a bad 2.5 hour ride from Summerville. We had smooth sailing and great conversation all the way.
The luncheon was held at Tropical Island Cafe. This restaurant caters to Red Hatters. They have 20% off every Wednesday if you wear your red hat! How wonderful is that?! The food was delicious. Lisa and I cleaned our plates! We were stuffed on our ride back home!
Big plans are being made for the SC Convention to be held in Charleston in September. Do hope everyone can make it. You won't be disappointed!
 Ready to ride to Rock Hill
 We came from all over the State
 Ready to have a good time
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HAT!
 NICE BLING!!
 A Pink Hatter!
