The Royal "Boogie on Down"

            Did you once surrender your royal crown to the next “queen?”  Or, did you not ever have a crown in the first place?  Great! Now, you are free to “get your own.”  Get a crown you never relinquish, and, while you’re at it, your own majorette boots! It'll help.
           Jill Conner Brown and her Sweet Potato Queens laughed their way into my life about 10 years ago, and their Zippity-Do-Dah attitude plays well. 

Another fine gaggle of girls takes as their goal “stamping out global boredom.”  The Red-Hat Society gathers as a social club with no philanthropy, no fund-raiser.  No other goal than to have fun together, the majority of these members claims to be above age 60.
          While I am not a card-carrying member of either group, their good humor and wacky-attitude provide sugar for morning coffee. Add Mary Engelbreit's wit and my attitude improves. That will be important, as it's about time to boogie on into the age of Medicare.
