Here's the Red Hatters

Well, here we are.  Our first gathering was at the Landmark Restaurant and it went off very well.  I think I was the only one that knew all the others, but it  didn't seem to matter.   We have three more gals coming in next month which will be a total of 12. 

  We are calling ourselves "The Sweet Violets."  Anyone remember that old song?  

 This month I am the Queen Mum so I have been practicing my Queenly wave, arm bent at the elbow, hand cupped slowly swiveling back and forth.  I wish you could see how nicely I do this.  I was born to do this!!!!

Sweet Violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets

There once was a farmer who took a young miss
In back of the barn where he gave her a lecture
On horses and chickens and eggs
And told her that she had such beautiful
Manners that suited a girl of her charms
A girl that he wanted to take in his
Washing and ironing and then if she did
They could get married and raise lots of
Sweet violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets

The girl told the farmer that he'd better stop
And she call her father and he called a
Taxi and got there before very long
'Cause some one was doin' his little girl
Right for a change and so that's why he said
If you marry her son, you're better off single
'Cause it's always been my belief
Marriage will bring a man nothing but
Sweet Violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets

The farmer decided he wed anyway
And started in planning for his wedding
Suit which he purchased for only one buck
But then he found out he was just out of
Money and so he got left in the lurch
A standin' and waitin' in front of the
End of the story which just goes to show
All a girl wants from a man is his
Sweet Violets
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over with sweet violets
