Home And Family

Having had the privilege of attending a most recent Red Hat Ladies Tea, I must say there is no group that can out-do the Ladies in Red Hats! This wonderful chapter of ladies meets on a regular monthly basis, with members, and friends of members, at their “Bring a Friend to Tea” date. This Red Hat Meeting was held at a local Tea Room in Franklin, Michigan. The ladies wore beautiful red hats, purple feather boas, and lots of beads.

Laughter filled the room, as they caught up on the details of their last get-together, and they all greeted each other with the care and love usually reserved for a close friend or a sister. They are genuinely interested in each other and how they are doing. They exchanged new information and kept the laughter going with every cup of tea they consumed. These were not just friends, they were a close family aligned with one common thread, a red hat.

I was in awe of these Red Hat Ladies. I wanted to join. I wanted to be in their company. Perhaps it was because we are of a similar age and background, or is it because we are just ladies keeping the lines of communication open and sharing what we know for the good of all. It must be something special, and it must be something wonderful, because the Red Hat Society is growing daily, as the group of ladies enjoying afternoon tea in this quaint little village, looked and sounded like they were having the time of their lives!
