About a year or so ago, one of my friends started a chapter of the Red Hat Society. She recruited many of the over 50 women of our church...including my Mom. For many months, they bugged me to join, but I resisted... Being only 49, I really wasn't ready to be a Red Hatter. What I didn't know was that there is a provision for someone like me... Women who are "looking forward" to celebrating their 50th birthday are able to join the group as a Pink Hatter. After attending a meeting last Christmas, I decided to go for it. On the right is one of the three pink hats that I have purchased... I think it is my favorite.

Sadly, I will no longer be able to wear my pink hats after December 11th when I turn 50. While I have never really loved the color pink...for some reason, my year as a "Pinkie" has made me come to love it!

SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..... even though my days as a "Pinkie" are numbered, and others view the Big 5-0 as being some kind of ungodly curse, I am able to celebrate each day without fear. Being in the company of some really wonderful, creative, fun and loving women who have already broken the 50 year barrier has allowed me to celebrate my milestone birthday proudly. I am confident that when I finally turn in my pink hat, I will gladly trade it in for a Red Hat. Life DOESN'T end at 50.......... It has only just begun AGAIN!!!!!!!

Now, where in the heck will I find purple clothes???? :)

Tyrese Turns 7

You just got to love this kid! Wearing a Happy Birthday hat that his cousin made especially for him, Ty Ty is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his cake. He knows that once he blows out those candles, he can start to open his presents!

You should have seen his face when he opened his Lego Star Wars II games...and to top it all off, a box of Star Wars Pez dispensers. What more could any child ever want!


Tyrese!!!!! Pawma loves you!!!!!! Posted by Picasa
