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.

    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!

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

    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!

      And, I am ready for a job holding the stop/slow sign at a construction site.

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

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

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

      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.

    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.

      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!

    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!

      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.

    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.

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

      I would put colors on walls, but Mike would be very unhappy soI don't.

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

    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!

    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!

    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. :-)

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

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Eggplant

Mike and I considered ourselves soul mates, but we definitely were not culinary mates.  Mike liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked and he never changed his mind about things like that.  He did not eat mayonnaise.  He did not eat tomato sauce.  He did not eat cooked vegetables except for corn, peas and green beans.  He did not eat onions cooked or otherwise.  He did not eat casseroles ever since they were a combination of things he didn't eat anyway. I did not like mushrooms as a kid and eggplant just made me gag, but my tastes changed,  Foods I found disgusting as a child are now among my favorites--mushrooms, eggplant, avocados, asparagus, eggs, spinach, brussel sprouts, herbs and spices. I will admit that I never developed a taste for liver (nor do I want to). I made this Moussakka a while ago and ate it every day for a week.  I froze half of it but ended up thawing it out right away. It consists of sliced eggplant layered...
