The Red Hat Society's Laugh Lines Stories Of Inspiration And Hattitude

by Sue Ellen Cooper

Life begins at 50! And the women of the Red Hat Society are proud of it. In The Red Hat Society's Laugh LInes. Sue Ellen Cooper and the women of the RHS celebrate the life experiences that have made them who they are today. Over the years, they've accumulated well-earned laugh lines and cry-lines from wonderfully funny, incredibly touching stories that will warm readers' hearts and touch their souls. Just as there is so much more to each of these women than a purple outfit and a red hat, there's so much more to their lives than the RHS--"from their husbands, children, and grandchildren to living life fabulously after 50. This book is a collection of some of the most touching and funniest stories that they want to share with their sisters, and is filled with sidebars recommending their favorite books and movies. With contributions from members across the country, this collection is bound to thrill all Red Hatters--"and those who soon will be.

I was a pink hat (under age 50) member of Red Hat Society in 2005 when this book came out. We had a launch party on Red Hat Society day, April 25, at Pierce City's bookstore, Willow's. I bought the book and took it home but only flipped through it. I had no intention of reading it.

Fast forward to October 2005 when our RHS chapter had a Halloween dinner with another local RHS group. It was those ladies who told me my story was published in Laugh Lines! Sue Ellen Cooper had asked RHS members to send her stories about our experiences and I sent in a story about not being a crafter before Red Hat Society and asking my friend to help me learn. Never thought it would be chosen for the book.

The only reason I rushed home from dinner that night and grabbed that book was to see my story in it!

I enjoyed portions of this book but other chapters annoyed - particularly those that just seemed to list anecdote after anecdote. I would have liked to have seen less examples and more detail in those that were included. The premise is great but it needed some serious editing.

I picked it up because I love the Red Hat Society novels and I started out enjoying this book. However, it became a bit tedious. I think it was the format more than the content. I did make me want to find a Red Hat Chapter and join.

This book was not so great...but a gift so I read it. Really not well written but humerous..

Loved this book! Lots of great stories of women celebrating being women & over 50.

Thanks to my momma for gifting it to me last Christmas.

This was far more about red hat groups than I ever wanted to know.
