Happy Colors

I was very happy to notice these bright colors at the JCPenney store when I was there last.

It seems as though it is always easy to find pastels and muted colors but not always brighter hues.  I snatched up some tee shirts and a flower patterned skirt.

I am a "spring" but bright, clear colors of spring.  Have you ever had your colors done?

Scam alert!  We have gotten a few of these robocalls.  They say that there is no free lunch and we keep that in mind.

  1. I love the skirt -- and I love that it matches ALL of the shirts and I do love your choice of colors. I see a trip to JCP in my future!

    1. I wore that skirt when Mike went to the cardio lab and got compliments all day long.

  2. Funny -- I like the brighter shades, too. I just found that color green you have there in a golf shirt on sale at Macy's!
    Peace,

    1. I had better stock up. I tend to be rough on tee shirts.

  4. Ohhh - I like those vivid colors. Is the skirt maxi? I'm thinking of shopping for an ankle length skirt - but summer weight.

    1. The skirt is knee length. I have noticed that the maxi length is popular again. My legs are my saving feature, though.

    1. I report them to the Do-Not-Call registry, but as the article points out--these call come from crooks who do not care about such trifling things.

  6. As we get older and lose some of our natural plumage, it is nice to kick it up a notch with bright colors. I don't know my colors.
    If I don't recognize the caller ID, I just don't answer.

    1. As usual, we were the last people on the block to get caller ID--just got it last fall if you can believe it. What a wonderful invention!

  7. I love the colors too. It's great you can wear every one of the t's with the skirt.

    Funny, I live in Canada and I've been getting similar calls. I've tried hitting zero on the phone over and over again in order to get a live person, hoping to get removed from their list but no luck. We have do-not-call list and I'm on it but it doesn't stop these calls!

    1. I guess there are downsides to technology--or maybe to human nature when there are those who are so quick to find ways to take advantage of others.

  8. I really love those colors too and would have been drawn to them. Did you see any tablecloths? I have been looking for a colorful tablecloth that doesn't cost a fortune. I could make one, but I don't have a working sewing machine at the moment.

    Yes, I have had my colors done. I am a winter.

    Thanks for the alert.

    1. I did not look for tablecloths that day, but now I want to go shopping for one. I am so suggestible.

    1. You live where bright colors never look out of place, too.

  11. I don't think I ever *really* had my colors done. My sister (who had had hers done) told me I was . . . what . . . ? I can't remember. But I do love those colors that you've chosen! Bright colors=Happy!

  12. It was all the rage many years ago, getting your colors done. i haven't heard too much about it lately, but I still carry my little swatches around!

  13. The only thing I remember clearly is that I wasn't supposed to wear pastel yellow, but SCHOOLBUS YELLOW. ...and that aqua is good for everybody.
    I smoked and drank back then, though, so I'm probably a different color now. :-)

  14. I love the bright colors. No skirts for me, though. My legs are NOT by best feature.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
