I knew that!!

You know, it does remind me of a little story. I was in 6th grade, and mom had made me a beautiful dress with a dropped waist and pleats all around the bottom. It was a blue and green plaid – almost exactly the colors of your mom’s tea party, the big green bush and the deepest blue of the tablecloth.

I was beside myself because EVERYONE “knew” that blue and green didn’t go together! My grandmother took me outside and had me look at the trees against the blue, blue sky. She said, “Are they pretty?” Yes, they were pretty. “Well”, she said, “if God thinks blue and green go together, don’t you think it’s ok for your dress to be blue and green?”

I’d forgotten that until your blues brought it back – thank you!

Hi Linda – isn’t it amazing – the memories we have stored in the backs of our brains that need something to stir them up? I wish I could just go through that stock pile and look at each one, rather than having to wait for something to nudge it forward. Your story reminded me of a 7th grade story. I had some blue suede shoes (can you believe it?!) that I wanted to pair with a green outfit. My mom just couldn’t see how it would work, and discouraged me. I was standing in the grass next to my mom one day, and pointed out how lovely the shoes looked peeking through the grass. She was sold, and let me purchase the outfit I’d been yearning for.

My mom sewed for me too – aren’t we lucky?! I sewed for my children, and now that my daughter is having a baby, I have been busy sewing, and she has finally agreed to let me teach her how to sew.

Finally, finally, I sit here reading around in blogworld. I’ve re-arranged the living room so the rest of the family can see the TV but here in the wingchair, in a corner, with a reading lamp, I don’t have to deal with the blare of it all.

Wonderful picture and fun entry on the good old blue moon. What a treat, really.

So, we are going to rendez-vous in the spring, yes? You are more than welcome here in STL and /or we can meet up somewhere “halfway” as Jeanie mentioned.

Stay in touch. We can do this!

Rendez vous sounds good to me… half way works too. Spring time!
It is so dreary dreary dreary. I would rather have a blizzard than this melting freezing, dirty snow, nastiness on the road. Ah well – this too shall pass. Thanks for dropping in, after your big Miami adventure – lucky you!

Here’s to blue, Carl! Cheers

Here’s to a year that’s blue only in color — not in mood!

Sounds good to me, Jeanie.

Thanks for the wishes and kind words, ds. Here’s to adventures!!

Thank you for the kind words, litlove – HNY to you too!
