All photos in the picture gallery are now up to date. I have uploaded or updated all information that I currently have, that includes pictures, calendar, lunch details, and anything else. I hope everyone is having a great summer. I have been very busy working on the landscaping outside, as usual. We finally got our garden in the ground also. Hopefully in a few months we will have some peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, beans, squash, zucchini, cauliflower, cucumbers, onions, and gourds. If everything grows you will see me at the Farmers Market because we won't be able to eat it all! At least I put landscape tarp down in between rows so I don't have to hoe. That will save me lots of time. And thanks to Mother Nature, I have not had to water it on my own too much. Have a great summer!!

August lunch details have been posted at right. New pictures will be posted soon. One of my dogs tore a ligament a few weeks ago and had to have leg surgery this week to repair it so that has put a kink in a few things around here. Hopefully he is on the mend but Mom and I will have to work with him therapy-wise for the next month or two. It's always something isn't it!

So glad to hear that Jackie & Bob Bright had such a lovely 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration!! The Adaland lunch was a big hit also. It's so nice to get out and celebrate with friends on these nice summer days.

I have some good news to report myself. My sister is going to have another baby come end of January :-) Yep!! little Emma is going to get a baby sister or brother and Dowager Queen Sharon will be grandma once again. Hope everyone is having a good summer.

HI HATTERS!!!  I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the warmer weather. I have some pictures from the last few luncheons that I will be uploading soon. I was unable to get to it sooner as I have had some computer problems. Suffice it to say, I now have a brand new laptop (my first) and have reformatted the other computer. Things are getting back in order and so should I!! Thank goodness! There nothing I hate more than dealing with grumpy computers :-(

The June 9th Red Hat lunch is at Adaland in Philippi. Go to Philippi, go across the covered bridge, turn RIGHT as soon as you go thru the bridge and follow the road and signs out towards Adaland. The mansion sits on a hill up to your right. Most of us have been there before so we should probably already know the way :-)

Also, on JUNE 14TH red hatter Jackie Bright and her husband Bob will celebrate their 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY with a Vow Renewal and Reception!!! Their children, Rob & Jane Bright and Mary & Larry Crowder, request the pleasure of your company in celebrating their parents big day!

Some very sad news to report. Red Hatter Betty Jeanne Glass passed away early this morning at Colonial Place in Elkins. She had been in declining health since October. Betty always lit up a room when she walked in and we greatly missed her smile at our last several meetings. Betty was a lovely, lovely lady and we are all better for having known her.

Visitation and funeral details are listed below. There are also links to the full obituary, a video tribute to Betty, and a link to read or express condolences.

At the request of the family, Elkins Purple Majesties Red Hatters will meet at the Lohr Barb Funeral Home at 7PM on Friday, March 21, to pay their respects. Please wear purple and red attire.
