Darlings, I hope you enjoyed the always fun Red Dress Run and Dirty Linen Night.
Unfortunately, I had to miss both because I was committed to going with my talented darling friends, Connie Born andSula Tedesco, to the International Red Hat Society Convention at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and convention in Nashville. I had a ball and returned tired from attending a myriad of fun events but full of admiration for the 1,100 members ranging from 50 to 95 years old who attended from all over the world. I learned that, as years go by, I am not getting older but BOLDER.
On our way to Nashville, Connie and I stopped to see our beloved longtime friend, Marda Burton at her home in Laurel, Mississippi. She looked great and was thrilled to see me and Connie!
For some reason or another I just can not get into face book to do my photo link so I will do it in the next one.
