Red Hat Society Members Shopping and Lunch

Saturday, September 12, 2015

Members of the New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter of the Red Hat Society in Alamogordo, New Mexico gathered in town to do some shopping (the favorite sport of the RHS) and then to Applebee's for lunch. I was unable to join in for the shopping as I was still recuperating from a concussion, but I understand from all the conversation that many good purchases were made.

Queen Ladybird aka Carla K. and Vice Queen Donna had stories to tell about the Indianapolis RHS Convention and Miss Kitty's Social Club event in Durango, Colorado. Several were excited to hear that the convention next year will be in San Antonio, Texas.

Sweet member Lynne. We are always glad to see her when she is able to come.

Gail, a lovely looking Red Hatter all the way

Queen Ladybird (aka Carla K.) finally made it to that end of the table to visit with Gail and Trudy

This was a FUN luncheon and everyone had a grand time visiting and telling stories. The NMRC is quite an eclectic group of women who all get along well and enjoy each other's company. As Queen, I am most fortunate that it has worked out this way. Each and every lady is very dear to me.

Thanks to Douglas A. Kerr, Photography for the great pictures and for driving Queen Ladybird to the event.

This is all I have to say for now.
