If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere. – Marilyn Monroe
We discovered a few little things around the area on Wednesday. First of all there is a great little market just around the corner on Broadway. It is the Superstition Ranch Market. Fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts and a few other locally canned items were available. Prices were fantastic. We had to stop and make a few purchases.
We went down the road a little more and parked halfway between Beall’s Outlet and the Goodwill. I ran to Beall’s and Terry wandered down to the Goodwill. He always thinks he’ll find some treasure as he mulls through the hardware and stuff. Neither one of us made a purchase.
Lunch was at the Wild Berry Diner. The building wasn’t anything special but the food and wait staff were fantastic. It was a great little place for lunch and probably would be for dinner too.. There was even a gathering of Red Hat Ladies at the table behind us. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a group of women actually getting together all with red hats. I guess there’s more to it than what I knew.
Other than that we stopped at a car wash. Our vehicle was still carrying the dust from the road. It’s amazing the nice people you can meet at the car wash. We met more Canadians and agreed to meet in Yuma in January for a meal or two.
We also washed the windows inside and out on the RV. It wasn’t that we were overly ambitious. It’s just that we had white spots on them left over from the Blue Beacon’s wash job.
A perfect time to head for the swimming pool is about 6:00 around here. We headed that direction and spent an hour swimming and then relaxing in the hot tub. We had them both all to ourselves. Everyone else was eating dinner probably. We got back to the motorhome just in time to watch Hell’s Kitchen.
That was it. We didn’t wander around much but the day was full and the weather gorgeous.
Isn’t life grand?
"Does anyone know exactly what they do or get together for? Is it just to dress in purple and wear red hats?"
ReplyDeleteNo, it's primarily to laugh and have a good (and sometimes bawdy) time. The idea is to resist society's ideas of how we should become nice old ladies. I have a purple pantsuit and a red visor so I'm ready if I ever decide to join a red hat group. :)
I was a Red Hat for about 2 weeks. I never did officially sign up because they were all "old". If not in age in style. And, the clincher, they all talked about dead husbands.
ReplyDeleteSome chapters work with charities.
Red and purple were not considered colors that one wore together at the same time - so this was a way for "older" women to say - I don't care what society says, I can wear and do what I want.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Superstition Ranch Market in Apache Junction and we shop at it all the time. Love it - so fresh and the prices are fabulous.
