Today my red hat group, the Scarlett O'Hatties, crowned me Queen with much pomp and circumstance. My sisters, Sue and Darla, were in charge of the ceremony which included oaths of office, proclomations, toasts, a robing, toasts, a crowning and more toasts. Darla started the proceedings with a trumpet blare - she does not play a wind instrument so it sounded like and old man blowing his nose. Off to an hilarious start. Then she "decommissioned" our Queen Lynn, and swore me in. Sue wrapped me in a lovely red satin robe (worn my a ballerina at the Opera House - her daughter, Julia), and placed a ruby encrused crown (my tiara) on my head. Such frivolity. We had the wait staff as our audience and I'm sure the tale is being told over dinner tonight in many a household.
I got right down to business - "I do have an agenda" - updating our roster, welcoming a prospective new member and making announcements about Red Hat events area and nation wide this coming year. The convention in Coeur d'Alene looks interesting to me. Maybe just the Saturday events, tho. Don't know if I could handle three days of red hat foolishness.
Our waitress brought our lunches and we visited for the rest of the time we had together.
I want to thank those who put this event on and those who attended. I had a great time and hope to fulfill the role of Queen to your satisfation.
Queen Mum Leonna
