Hats

With Easter rapidly approaching (four Sundays from now), I decided it was time to start hunting for an appropriate hat for the occasion. Afterall, I had the opportunity to head to the substantial urban area (not really a "big city") of Peru/LaSalle this weekend. The mall includes a Bergner's, which I figured would be the best place to find my chapeau.

Unfortuantely, there were no hats suitable for Easter Sunday at the "big department" store (only a couple straw versions suitable for sitting at the beach). I meandered down the corridor and examined the wares at Sears. I bought a vest (70% off). There were NO hats in the store.

I am dumbfounded. No hats at this point in time! Times have changed more than I thought. My quest is not over, but my disappointment is now evident. I suppose there aren't any hats because many people won't be wearing dresses either. The one parade (see earlier post) that I sometimes look forward in joining may become an event of the past.
