Awhile back my daughter and granddaughter suggested Ginga,(That's me) should join the Red Hat Ladies. What!! Did they think I had grown too advanced in age to run with them? Probably so! :(
Well, reading up on the Red Hat Society, I see anyone of age 50 or older can qualify...also they accept under 50's but they have to wear a PINK hat until they reach the proper age ! ;) Well, for sure I'm of the right age to fit right in here! Come to think of it, most of the people I know are, at least 50, or not far from it! EVEN my kids!
Read all about The Red Hat Ladies here!
Although these colorful ladies seem to enjoy things a lot, it didn't seem 'my cup of tea' to join up with people I didn't know. (this shyness thing I have) Oh, well!
A couple weeks back when we went to Orlando to visit the kids, we stopped at an antiques/ flea Market place. First thing I noticed were groups of the Red Hat ladies, decked out in their red and purple and their big smiles!
Then I saw THIS among a lot of other dolls! (mostly babies ) She stood out and I just had to have her! Isn't she cute! She is called Red Hat Grammie!
We went on to visit the kids and I set her up to be admired! Lol- my daughter Tam said,"Mom, she looks just like you!" Tina and Alli agreed! ;)
It must be the hair!!
Or, maybe it's the SMILE!
Well, look at that! She has the same musical tastes as I do, too!
Wonder if she likes Alice Cooper! ;)
Love,
JUNIE
I DO see the resemblance, Junie!! That's hilarious! I really like her.
ReplyDeleteLol the doll DOES look like you Junie!! hehe How cool is that?!! I'm glad you bought her:-) I have read about those red hat groups...I hate wearing hats so I guess no joining their club for me! hehe xox
ReplyDeleteYes, there is a bit of a resemblance! But I think your smile is better.

Janet,
Lol- Thanks for looking!
Yes, I DO look a bit like that red hat Grammie...but that's ok! She's cute!
Junie
(with tongue in cheek) Junie Rose I am so jealous because I always wanted a doll that looked like me and you found yours!!!!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA
ReplyDelete(MOMMA) Mary
Actually-this old Red Hat Grammie has a much trimmer figure than mine-so I feel honored to be compared favorably to her! ;)
Thanks for coming and looking.
Junie Rose
Now that is just too cute...she does look like you!!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to be a "Red Hat Lady"...too young still and I've also wanted to join a ladies Bunko group...sounds like so much fun...
Don't be shy Miz Junie!!
:-D
Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks!;)
LOL!
No, I didn't pose to be a model for that doll- in case you're wondering! :) I DO see that she looks like me!
...but Tammy- you could join up with the Red Hats...only you'd have to wear a PINK hat until you reached age 50! (LOL-I just bet there's not that many wearing the PINK hats!-I've never seen any!)
Junie
I have a few friends that are red hat ladies, but for some reason I think they look pretty goofy...I have never really been that shy, but I just don't think I need to wear a red hat and purple dress to get attention....I can do that wearing normal clothes....I'll probably have all the red hat ladies on my back now.....LOL but I love the doll....years ago when I went to a craft show, they were selling red had dolls with the poem....I loved the poem, and almost bought the doll.....but thats as far as it gets......and you really have a cuter smile than that doll.....(did I spell cuter right?) I added you to my favorites list Junie, I hope you don't mind.....that way I can visit Fl. when i want.....LOL
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDelete:) I probably wouldn't ever join the red hats either- but I DO see a lot of very elderly ladies with younger ones so maybe it's a good thing for some ppl- a good way to get out and do things together!
I DO like the little doll tho, and am glad I got her!
;) I looked through my pictures and found one that was a pretty good match to her! :)
BTW- Was at your site again-and see that you have some poems. I love reading poems and writing them! I have a poem site and also a site for my crafts and collectables-and one just for my Mom Memories. ( all on my side bar)
I'm happy you wanted to include me on your blog roll- thanks! ( I need to update mine , and will soon)
Thanks,
Junie
I became a "Red Hatter" in October. One of my co-workers bought me a darling red summer hat, turned the brim up in front and added one pink and one purple flower on it. All of my co-workers treated me well on my 50th...none of that silly black stuff...it was a real sweet celebration in my honor!
ReplyDeleteI love the Red Hat Grammie...so cute or as I like to often say...so "tootsie"...*smile*

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you are the DF fan who visited me a while back- and told me about the EVER ON Fogelberg website...I searched and searched but can't find the info on you that I thought I had saved! :(
Are you the gal who does the Dream Catchers...If so , I'd like to have the info again of how to get there.
Yes- my little Red Hat lady is very cute. It might be fun to be a part of all that- but I don't know anyone involved around here.
Thanks for coming again- and hope to hear from you.
Junie
Junie,
ReplyDeleteI do not believe that I told you about Ever On and I am not the one who does Dream Catchers.
However, here is the address...

...then I don't know you...
ReplyDeleteI went to that website but had no luck with it-
I guess you have to sign up-and I didn't.
Oh, well- Welcome to my blog anyway! :)

The Red Hat ladies are a hoot. I posted about them some time ago.
ReplyDeleteCaught up with you again I think.
Sorry to be so hit and miss with my reading and commenting.
Our spring flowers are busting out all over too.
