On the 10th. of April we had our monthly outing at Chili's. We had the honor of a visitor her name was Donna. She was checking out our group to see if she may be interested in The Red Hat Society. We talked and laughed about various topic's. The food seemed to be pretty tasty. On the 22nd. of April Claudia Judi, and Susan Made it out to Pier 2 to help The Vintage Roses celebrate Red Hat Society week. It sure was nice to run into old friends and pretty much have a wonderful time.

On May the 8th The Victorian Ladies met at Jordans barbecue in Cleveland. The food was so so. Judi showed everyone her new Red Hat cookbook that she bought to see if any of the members would enjoy a book of there own. She promised to pick up the books after attending the next Queens Council meeting in Knoxville. Until next time Happy Red Hatting.

On the 17th of May Susan and Judi traveled to the Queens Council meeting in knoxville. The meeting was held at Bravos. We really enjoyed the food especially the cheesecake. It was to die for. After the meeting Judi traveled further into Knoxville to pick up the cookbooks she promised to the other members and of course after that Judi and Queen Diana from The Fab 50s went shopping in Knoxville. We found these great red hat pucker shirts that were so cute we just could not resist. The whole day just turned out to be a blast.

On the 7th. of June Judi Queen Mum and Vice Queen Susan traveled to Nashville for The Fantasia in Red's Event. We arrived early and did a little Red Hat shopping and we both found these wonderful Red Hat shirts from one of the vendors. What a wonderful score we both got a great shirt plus we got the vendor to come strut her stuff at our event that we will have in August. How Perfect! Let me tell you these Ladies really know how to put on a show. That had this great Motown music with three really good singers. We danced to this music and really enjoyed ourselves. The food was really good and the servce was perfect. I'll tell you if you go to Nashville consider going to the Maxwell Millenium House Hotel it is well worth it. During the event they had a parade of Queens which was really nice and they also showed us different fan gestures and what they meant in the Victorian Era. We were lucky enough to also run in to friends from Knoxville Shirley Perry Sharon Massengill, and quite a few ladies they had with them. The time was just another wonderful red hat event

On June 12, 2008 we traveled to Athens Tennessee to meet with a couple of The Fab Fifties Gals to go the Mayfield Dairy Tour. We took our private tour through the dairy and it was really nice. Of course we cut up and took pictures of each other and just had a nice relaxed day. After the tour we entered the ice cream shop and had the most wonderful ice cream on the planet. Afterwards a couple of the ladies purchased some items in the gift shop and we were on our way to lunch but not before we saw this really cute cow and of course had our picture taken on it. We ended up going to the Western Sizzlin for lunch. We talked and laughed before we said our Good Byes. We hope to do something again with those Fab Fifties they were very charming.

On the 19th. of July Judi Queen Genevieve traveled to the Queens Council in Knoxville. The meeting was held at The Golden Corral. The food was average. The meeting got off to a quick start and it was very informative. Alot of different information was shared and it was really a enjoyable afternoon. One topic of interest was the Bazzar Bazzar which will be coming up on November 13th. which is a Wednesday. Different crafters will come to Buddys Barbecue and display all of there items they would like to sell from what I have heard this is a wonderful event. So save a little extra money and try to take the trip it should be a good one. Happy Hatting

On the 22nd. of July Judi traveled to the Chattanooga Queens Council meeting which was held at The Tea Cottage. Alot of positive info was shared with all of the woman who showed up.

Also a reporter from The Chattanooga Free Press showed up and Interviewed the Queens and put a nice little article including pictures in the paper. Glema also brought her wonderful jewelry and other items just in case we wanted to do a little shopping.
