The Purple Hat

Passing the Purple Hat to You IN honor of women's history month and in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, 'Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.' There would have been more 'I love you's' More 'I'm sorry's.'

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute.look at it and really see it .. live it and never give it back. STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what
Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

June 4th Meeting

Our meeting for Thursday, June 4th, is lunch and tour at the Spring Hill Historic Home at 1401 Springhill Lane NE in Massillon. Since this is in close proximity, we will leave you to make your own carpool/travel arrangements. Lunch will be Chicken Salad served on Lettuce, Cherry Congealed Salad, Fresh Fruit, Mini Muffins, and Ice Cream Balls with Chocolate Sauce. Lunch will be served at 11:30. The cost of lunch will be $14 including tax and tip. We would like to collect lunch money as you arrive so we will not be concerned with that after we eat. A tour of the home will follow lunch at 1:00 or 1:15. Cost of the tour is $5...seniors $4. The home is not air conditioned but the dining area in the parlor has fans and good circulation. We recommend that you dress in comfortable red hat attire for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. But do not forget your Red Hat!

Parking is on the hill pass the house. Passengers can be dropped at the front of the house to avoid walking down to the house. Enter the house through the front door where there will be someone to greet you. On the map that was handed out at the last meeting, it does not show Springhill Lane NE on the map which is the street south of Springhill Ave NE (past the Lake Ave intersection). Turn left onto Springhill Lane NE not Springhill Ave. Attached is a better detailed map.
