Red Hat New Year

Happy New Year to all my sister Red Hatters!!!  It feels like forever since I have been able to attend a Red Hat event.  One of my goals this year is to try and clear some time for it instead of booking EVERY weekend a year in advance.  I know I'm good for this month and February.  March - already hosting an event.  The dates for April and May are not out yet and I know those two months are difficult.  My fingers are crossed for the first weekend in May as it is my birthday month and I'd love to wear my wonderful red dress again.  Time will tell.  At any rate --- back to the present!!!  I am available today and I am looking forward to it.  Let's go!!!

Fonda is our host for this gathering and my picture of her didn't quite turn out, so I'm borrowing one from our Queen, Cynthia.  Here's Fonda AND Cynthia.

We are at Frankies Mexican Cuisine in Richardson and the food is wonderful.  It is a bit dark in here and I'm seated behind a VERY long table, so photo opportunities are at a bare minimum.  It is what it is today.  Giving it my best shot --- here are a few of the ladies around the table. (Incorporating the flash helped with some and highlighted a box in another, I just have to laugh today.)

Thanks to Cynthia, I do have proof that I attended.

It is Jenn's birthday and I am fortunate to sit right across from her and enjoy the moment each step of the way.

A wonderful Bundt cake has a bit of difficulty coming out of the package, BUT --- Fonda has it rescued in no time. All it needed was a red hat.

And candles.

And some kazooing

Happy, Happy Birthday Jenn.  So fun to chat with you.

As we are wrapping things up, Mister is in the parking lot waiting for me and I grab him to take a group photo ---- smile, Y'all.

With that, it's a done deal.  The Girl Scouts are out and my sweetheart is off to purchase some cookies while I say my good-byes.  Until next month, ladies ---- keep smiling and never, ever act your age.
