This afternoon I watched a performance from Smile Theater called Raging Grannies. It was entertaining and quite a delightful way to spend the afternoon. As it happens, there was a group of the Raging Grannies there in the audience and I was sitting next to them at tea. They are a local group and I was invited to join. How cool is that?!?!?!!!! Information on them can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raging_Grannies I feel like I am going back to my teen years when I protested California Grapes and Vietnam! ;-) Now all I need are "Grannie" clothes.
It turns out that the afternoon became a double whammy. There was a Red Hat Group there as well. This group was from out of town but took my name and number and low and behold I received a voice mail from the Queen Mother of a local group. It looks like any day now I will become a Strawberry Tart! I just have to confirm at a better hour to make phone calls. Time to dust off my Red Hat clothes!
This is turning into a fabulous week! I hope yours has started as well as mine has! Blue Monday indeed!
