[OT] Red Hats ~ for Bron

[Guest guest]

LOL! Now i had wondered about that. Lately i have

seen ladies out to dinner or out downtown sporting

those aweful red & purple hats, and i wondered what

that was all about. i sort of figured it was some club or

maybe they were part of a singing/choir group. *lol*

Thanks for the info; i think that is great.

Every winter, When the great sun has turned his face away,

The earth goes down into a vale of grief,

And fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables,

Leaving her wedding-garlands to decay--

Then leaps in spring to his returning kisses.

~ Charles Kingsley (1819 - 1875), Saint's Tragedy (act III, sc. 1)

You're welcome, PT. How interesting, that you've actually seen groups of

ladies doing the red hat soiree; I've never seen any so far. But I keep my

eye out. <wink, wink> LOL
