"Oh there's no place like home for the Holidays..." unless it's our annual trip to the Rock Financial Center for their Red Hatter Christmas Luncheon.
There's so much good to tell about, it's hard to decide where to start. Let's see; there's the friends, (old and new!) there's the shopping, there's the delicious lunch, there's the shopping, there's the pictures taken with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and did I mention the SHOPPING?!
Some arrived very early to get a jump start on the many Vendors tables which lined the exhibition hall. Others came just in time for lunch, choosing to fortify themselves before heading off to shop. Upon arriving in the Banquet Hall, we immediately spotted our tables because our chairs were adorned with our beautiful Plum Pretty chair covers. They were the envy of the other Chapters, and we caught some sneaking a picture. I think we can look for some pirated copies at our next big Hoot!
Starting off with a delicious salad plate, then moving on the traditional Turkey, mashed potatoes, and dressing, we moved to the finale... a very decadent chocolate mousse. To quote Rachel Ray, "Yummo!"
Then, vendors beware, you are about to be stormed by a sea of red and purple. We shopped till we dropped. Ornaments, jewelry, special gifts for Christmas, and sinful indulgences were the goodies we acquired on our outing.
After a brief rest period, the last of the troopers headed for home, happy in the fulfillment of another successful Red Hatter outing.
Our Queen Carolyn was the organizer for this event. We are already looking forward to next year's Luncheon, and are happy that it has become an annual event not only for Rock Financial, but for our Plum Pretties as well!
Thank you Queen, we all had a Holly Jolly time!
Respectfully yours,
Lady Hatter Chatter Brenda
(for Queen Carolyn)
