JeanieSpokane: Living It Up In Purple

Yes! I am a member of the Scarlett Snickerdoodles. We have 15 or so members and most are from the Coeur d’Alene area and a handful from Spokane. It is a totally wonderful group of women. The rule is we have no rules! Our Queen Mum (president to you lay people) elected herself and invited her friends to be in this particular chapter. She appointed her best friend as Vice Mum. :) We are between the ages of 51 and 65. We have slumber parties, tea parties, hat parties, eating parties, lunch parties, dinner parties (we revolve around FOOD), and massage parties (where we bring our own food). We wear red hats and decorate them to the nines with ribbons, feathers, flowers, pins, jewels, anything that's pretty. We like to wear purple too because our mothers always told us "have you really looked at yourself in the mirror??? Do you realize that you clash???" And so we exuberantly, energetically, noisily, raucously clash/JeanieSpokane. More here
