happy.red.hat.society.day!

Last weekend, while *ac* and I were enjoying our early dinner on the outside patio area of the parish cafe, we noticed a group of four older woman wearing red and purple outfits, with red hats and purple boa's. They seemed quite energetic for older folk, and laughed as they skipped down boylston street. They even posed for pictures with a group of high school aged kids. To make matters even more interesting, *ac* was recently in san digeo for business, and saw another group of women in similar attire. I'd remembered hearing something about a red and purple club, but couldn't place all the details, so decided to look it up online. It's official name is the red hat society and it's a social club for woman over 50. (If you're jealous, and want to be a member but aren't 50, you can be a junior member of sorts. You don't get to wear purple with red hats, but you do get to wear lilac with a pink hat until your 50th birthday.) It turns out that these guys even have their own society day each year, and that day's today! I guess this explains why there've been so many sightings recently. If you're looking for a gift for your mom for mother's day, you could always visit the official site, and pick out your favorite hat. I'm sure there would be chapter to join in her town!
