Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Our senior center ladies put on a "high tea" yesterday. Actually, a friend's wife did all the proposing, planning , and all the other work while a bunch of other ladies stood around smiling and saying "look at the wonderful job we did." Anyway, we were asked to wear or fanciest clothes and prettiest hats . Some people didn't. They were mostly the ones who complained about not having coffee and the dainty finger foods that were provided. One couple bitched so loudly and disruptively that I went over and dropped the price or their two tickets on the table and told them the leave. The man said he wasn't going to leave, but after I reasoned with him he decided to go. I pulled out a pin stripe navy suit (one of three quite expensive suits that I bought when I was still in business for myself.....AND IT STILL FIT ME!!! ) added a light blue brocaded vest and a gold double chain Albert chain with a carver ivory eagle's head drop and a pen knife, added my firebird silver and ivory pendant with a small chip of turquoise, and put a flag pin and a lapel pin on. I stacked this on top of my best Sunday-go-to-meeting boots and capped it off with a beaver free trapper's style hat with a leather bill, and a silver Mexican concho with a red tail hawk feather decorated with beads, died porcupine quills, and a sprig of someone's blond hair My God, I was was gorgeous! I mean I already am, but really! I didn't sign up to compete, but I came in third in the hat contest as a write in vote. I was told I could be "One of the ladies" now......I don't believe I will, though. I ate way too much, too, and it was all good except for the clotted cream.

So obviously this is not what you were wearing. What were you wearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Ah. I did not read it as you having a "free trappers hat" made of beaver. I read that as a "trappers hat" that did not use any beaver in the making of it - a "beaver free" "trapper's hat". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Gotta say though, The muskrat - top left - is the best looking of these hats. Better than the beaver - bottom left. Probably because the fur is short. The other pelts have longer hair, which makes the hat look shaggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
