yes, growing older
but not “elderly” yet
in fact, feeling bolder
with new friends i’ve met
make statement of fashion
wearing purple and red
deep colors of passion
circle hats upon heads
fun club for ten lassies
monthly travels around
visit places quite classy
while laughter abounds
we live and we learn
shop & dine as an art
the education we earn
keeps brain cells smart
if you see us round town
please give us a smile
we’re the happy red hatters
“live-out-loud” is our style!

One of my sisters was/is a Red Hatter. She had great fun for years with that group. Also, quite the collection of red hats. Just keep the living life to the fullest.

I just joined the group this past year…one hat and one headband with red flower 🙂

Oh yes! The red hatters – I’ve heard of them. I love your purple dress, too. You sent me back to the original Jenny Joseph poem, just for the fun of it. Keep on having fun!

“When I am old, I shall wear purple…” yes!
