At the Red Hat party yesterday, a woman from Winn-Dixie, the main sponsor of the Gator Bowl Parade came to present our award plaque to the chapter. She said she had never in all her years seen anything like us and the response of the crowd to us. That got a lot of applause. She wants us to definitely take part in the one right before the Super Bowl next year. The plaque had a really nice about 5X7 photo on it of some of our members riding the fire engine in our bikini T-shirts. Guess who is right in the center in a a sort of full length close-up...yours truly!!! I said my own husband couldn't get a picture because he was on the wrong side of the fire engine, but there preserved for posterity is the mayor's mother up top, my dear 85-yr. old friend in front of me, me smack in the center, and a couple of other ladies behind us. It was too wild! The queen is going to let me borrow it so I can have copies made for each of our group. If I'm able, I'll post it here.

LOL! Oh, my word, I didn't think about that. Hope he doesn't have misgivings about your coming after seeing it! Don't tell him I led the conga line to "Shout" part of the time and danced up a storm at the end with other members in a circle dance where we took turns in the middle, among other dances. Some of my friends said, "And Rhonda doesn't even drink!" Probably a good thing...


Here is a link to a recent, more "respectable" picture that partially hides how much weight I've gained. I'm the one in bright coral with black trim to the right of center.

I'd love to see the picture! I remember you telling us about those t-shirts, and I'll bet it was a stitch to see. A picture would bring that to life.

I got copies made yesterday and tried to post them on the board, but they wouldn't load. Then, I tried to email them to everyone here I have addresses for, and it took SO long to load them that I decided not to try to send them. The computer also compressed them into a zip file, which many people can't open. I'm trying to figure out another way to send them. I don't know why they take so much memory. I've posted other photos previously.
