We nearly froze but had a great time meeting the Red Rovers of Concord at Tilden Park for Holiday Festivities. Some of us rode the Merry Go Round. 
Some shopped at a tree decorated just for us. 
And we weathered it all just fine.

It was Big Purple Undies day at Holiday Inn in Fairfield. The Molls had lots of laugh, good company, a shopping extravaganza and a delicious buffet lunch. What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. AND for those of us who still had a bit more energy left, we headed over to Berkeley to hear Jeanette and her friends at Berkeley Broadway Singers. Quite an eventful day. Here's the Undies:

And then we had lunch at Houlihan's.

A few crafty molls met last night to learn about beading. We began with this simple to make bracelet (picture doesn't do it justice but it's the best I could do - the beads are red and purple of course). For those molls who missed out, watch your calendar as we will be doing this again.

The Culinary Arts students at Contra Costa College presented the Red Hat Society with a three course luncheon fit for queens today at 3 Seasons Cafe. Our hostess, Rose of CCC, did a wonderful job of gathering more than 80 red hatters from several bay area chapters. Even the table cloths were our favorite shade of purple. We wondered if they painted the walls red just for us. Watch for our pictures in the Contra Costa Times. We had a real sweety, cute photographer coaxing big smiles out of us so there's sure to be some winners. Speaking of winners... One of our own Molls held a winning raffle ticket. She won the shirt and a hat box full of goodies. (Notice also her red hat cat mascot by her left elbow...there is at least one moll who is envious) The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken.

Oh no...one of the Molls escaped. She made it all the way to Georgia. Here she is, caught right smack in the middle of her shinanagins.  The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken. (Gotcha TGL!)

Below is a picture of the RHS Molls who attended the Bay Meadows day at the races. Well, in all truth the only Molls attending were the two in the back, Queen Margie and Princess Jeanette. We shared our table with Sharlee from Benicia and Bobbie from Cupertino. It was a great day. The Turf Club buffet was fantastic. The betting was.... well let's just say that the Molls came out ahead. The Queen was just a bit miffed when in the 7th race her bet on the 4th horse was disqualified. It seems that Jaybo preferred to run the race without his jockey. Assured that the jockey was okay after his big heave ho, we gave old Jaybo big red hat cheers as he made his jaunt around the track and came in 2nd. Not bad for a longshot.

It's summertime and it seems the Molls are all on vacation so our activities are down. There was a parade in Benicia on the 3rd of July and several chapters participated. The Queen didn't think she could make it to the parade but she managed to escape her son's reception just in time to jump into the Queen car. We all had a great time and received plenty of attenton.

Let's have a contest. Here's how it goes. You send me a picture. I post it here. Everyone gets to guess who it is. Prizes.... well maybe someday. And the first "volunteer is..." 
The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken. The RHS Molls wish to thank the Vineyard Vixens for inviting us to join them for the Pleasanton Hotel Murder Mystery Dinner party and for putting up with our Mz Behavior.

On Saturday, May 22nd, 2004 the RHS Molls hosted their 2nd Annual picnic at Waterfront Park in Martinez. The turnout was less than anticipated but for those who braved the cold and cloudy start, we ended up with lots of fun and a few rays of warm sunshine. All the Molls deserve a bit hug of gratitude for their participation in this event. The queen hesitates to commend any individual molls for fear she will forget some in her current state of MentalPauz. Thanks to all who helped in everything from set up through cleanup and everything in between. Yeah MOLLS!!!! The group picture is below. For more pictures please visit www.picturetrail.com/mollqueen

Bay to Breakers Pictures - Thank you Jodi The Beginning: 
The End: (note we all finished but not all are pictured here) 
The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken. Bay to Breakers Sunday May 16th The day didn't get off to a very good start... our chartered bus broke down on the way to pick us up. Fortunately our meeting place was Lafayette BART so it wasn't a big problem. The red faced Queen (and very mad wife of bus driver) offered to pay for BART tickets for everyone. Ha Ha Ha... BART was free from Lafayette!!!! The starting line was the usual Bay to Breakers chaos with 60,000 people tossing balloons, tortillas and questionable objects throughout the first couple of blocks. Our red hatters managed to slip/slide our way through and stick together for a few blocks before we split into several small groups. We ALL made, over 7 miles, it to the end!!!! Most of us elected to skip Footstock and had a great time at a luau behind the Beach Chalet. We feasted on roasted pig sandwiches, corn on the cob and big green apples double dipped in caramel and chocolate. Even though the sign near the finish line claimed that we had only burned 450 calories, we figured we deserved the treats anyway. Oh, and we also deserved the giant cookies and brownie bites from Safeway. The chartered bus did show up for our return trip and took us on a brief city tour. It seemed to me most of the ladies were dozing off but I did hear a few giggles at some of those 40 year old bus driver jokes. One confession now from the Queen: I only took half a dozen pictures. They are on a disposable camera. I'm not sure if they are printable... those darn naked people kept getting in the way. Will finish up the roll at picnic next Saturday and try to find a place that prints R rated pictures. The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken. Tuesday, April 27, 2004
RED HAT DAY APRIL 25th In observance of Red Hat Day some of the Molls gathered together at Waterfront Park in Martinez, to eat, plan our May 22nd picnic, and check out the new banner. Thank you Carole for doing such a wonderful job. 
The plans are coming along great and once the queen gets out from under the pile of work on her desk, she will update all involved. Thank you for your patience! The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken. Monday, April 19, 2004
Dallas Red Hat Rodeo Convention - hey there's way too many pictures to post here. Check out my picture trail website The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken and she's way too exhausted to speak anymore. Monday, April 12, 2004
The Queen apologizes for her lack of Royal News. It seems we have all been a bit busy with Red Hat Activities. On March 20th we went to Buddha's Universal Church to see the play "Profile of Madam Cho." This was a bilingual play complete with contemporary humor and drama. Sorry, no pictures allowed. On March 21st a few of us went to Mare Island for the Daffodil Tea High Tea at one of the officer's quarters. Before the tea we went to church.... sort of.... we learned all about the historic Saint Peter's Chapel and were quite impressed with the performance of St. Patrick's Vocal Ensemble, "the Jazz Tec." Here we are all seated in the church pews like real church ladies. 
Some of us ventured out on a Saturday night, April 3rd, to see Wigged Out at Victoria's Hair on Stage. Several members showed up from local Red Hat chapters adding our usual color throughout the audience. The show was a riot. The Queen did not take her camera. Bad Queen. Okay, the Queen is off to pack her suitcases for the Dallas Convention. The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken Monday, March 22, 2004
It seems that I have created an entry that may be misinterpretted (see Sat. March 20th). I believe that the Global Girls really presented the Molls with "How to Be A Lady" with intent to afford us some humor (we were properly misbehaving). Some of the Global Girls (who are properly attired in their pink hats) are young but believe me they are doing a great job of following their Red Hat Mentors. They know all the "non-rules" and more. We certainly enjoyed their company and look forward to meeting up with them again. I meant no offense whatsoever. What more can I say? Keep your sense of humor, Ladies... life's too short. Or remember, you can always overthrow your queen. The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken. Saturday, March 20, 2004
Big thanks goes to Grace for acting as "Queen for the Day." We all enjoyed our lunch at the Cathay Restaurant. Profile of Madam Cho at Buddha's Universal Church was a delight. And the BART ride amid the war protestors was.... well let's just say it was... interesting. Thanks Grace for a job well done. The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken. When we visited the Global Girls in Reno, they gave us this piece about ladies so we will learn how to behave better:

Several Molls ventured to Reno aboard the Snow Train last week. We relaxed on the way up, spending a bit of time in the lounge listening to music and chatting. Went to see Broadway the first night at the El Dorado. It was quite a hit. Wednesday morning we headed back over to the El Dorado where we found this old car. Well, you can't actually see much of it since we are in front of it. 
We considered climbing on top of the car but decided to go shopping instead. Then along came this cop... 
The cop from Circus Circus was a bit concerned about us all being dressed in our colors. He threatened to call for back up but we persuaded him to join in on the fun. One of the highlights of our trip was to meet the Global Girls from Reno for lunch at the Silver Legacy. Queen Elaine and Queen Margie are seated in the middle of this picture. 
After lunch we went on our shopping excursion. Judy is helping Lesley model a fashionable dress at the antique mall. (Forgive me Lesley - I just had to put this in) 
Now this lady really knows how to dress for a pj party (don't ever utter the word banana in front of her) 
I will be opening my mail box very carefully for the next few days. Someone might try to get even with me. The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken and now is ducking for cover. Wednesday, February 25, 2004
What's coming up? Check out our calendar at www.rhsmolls.com . What's new? We are now stretching, walking and stretching in hopes of successfully completing the Bay to Breakers, or at least making our presence known! The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken. February 21st - Golden Gate Fields - Turf Club The RHS Molls joined several other chapters of the Red Hat Society for a Turf Club Buffet and Day at the Races. We were royally treated by everyone at the track, especially our valet, Don, who parked our car close by for quick retreival. Race # 7 was dedicated to us and McNally's Bar...what a combination. We were well fed and the horses were on the track. We sat back and watched the races, catching closeups on the TVs that were on each table. Some of us strutted down into the track for a closer view of the horses lending the public a closer look at us. Some ventured into the gift shop buying up anything with a spot of red or purple. Most of us placed cautious bets. One of our Molls started out tripling her money on the first race. All of us left poorer than when we arrived, but filled with that air of another successful red hat event.

Valentines Tea - February 14th at Lisa's We celebrated our first "Reduation" for Amy by presenting her with a basket of gifts, nice red hat trinkets and just a few MsChevious items for fun. 
We filled two tables.

Today's event at Buttercup Grill and Bar was a delightful gathering of 35 RHS Molls/Winsome Wonders. Good food, fun people, lots of laughter... what more could we ask for on a Saturday afternoon? A few of us stretched the day a bit longer to see Calendar Girls... there was some extra loud giggles and such from our row but I won't tell who did it... Just that it made the movie all the more fun. Our membership increased by three today. And, there were several inquiries. This looks like it's gonna be a good year. Plans are underway for 3 events in February so watch your email and check the calendar frequently at www.rhsmolls.com Check out the pictures below. Thanks to all who attended for making this such a fun affair. The Queen of the RHS Molls has spoken.
