Carol Perkins: Hats make a grand day out Previous Column: Farewell to the Beach Carol Perkins As I was leaving the house, Guy insisted on taking a picture. "The kids need to see this." The kids are now in their fifties. "You know," I said. "I'm really only twelve inside." He insisted I was maybe only five. The child within us is always present, but because of life and living, it becomes increasingly suppressed. I try to keep mine handy on occasions like this one. A few weeks ago, one of my friends passed out witch hats to our lunch group and asked us to decorate them for our Halloween lunch, which fell on Friday, October 31. She offered a fifty-dollar gift certificate to the winner. What a neat idea, I thought. As always, I waited until the night before to put mine together, but I had all my decorations, and with the glue gun in hand, I was prepared to launch. I had green web stuck to me like a real spider web. Why stop with a hat, I thought. I had ordered a gray wig to see how I would look with gray hair, and it arrived just in time. It lay perfectly on my shoulders, making it ideal. I threw on a black poncho with fringe and made up my face with green eyeshadow and smoky lipstick (I had no black). I was having so much fun! When I met up with the rest of the ladies, I was impressed with their hats, decorated with everything from dangling ghosts to fall flowers. I was initially concerned that I'd gone overboard with my outfit, but it was too late for a change. At the restaurant (Rex's in Nancy, KY), we were definitely noticed! Following a delightful lunch, the owner assessed the hats and declared mine the winner. I was thrilled! Getting fifteen women organized for a group picture required the child to leave and the teacher to come out when no one was listening to anyone else. We couldn't stand around willy-nilly and get a group shot. This was a once-in-a-lifetime event and needed to be captured! The moment captured, we left and drove down the road to Haney's, where the warm, sweet smell of fried pies greeted us. What a wonderful day we had, thanks to a great idea and a willing group of ladies. Share your thoughts with Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com, or with CM readers using our Comment Form.
