new color

I am not crazy about any of the template choices--BUT

I was really weary of the pink!

Uruguay

I have no idea where that Uruguay came from --I wouldn't do it--and the last post wouldn't let me leave a comment on my own post either.--Something fishy here. Last night and today--The SAME Word for Verification was there for all 5 or 6 tries--

Augh!!--I just tried to post a comment on THIS one--same word for verification as on the other post--and it still won't register a comment---Something seems to be stuck

Back for a 3rd edit:
I just checked on another site that has word verification--SAME WORD and it won't register my post--I guess if I turn off the thing it'll work

No SQUEAKY clean

Let me say--I was assured it was safe--it was full of minerals--everyone had it in the whole town--and the people with wells even had it--unless they dug two wells and went really deep with one. They had that brown water for YEARS--generations even.
Some people did buy drinking water--but we didn't. A glass full did not have much noticeable color. But your white wash could get brown streaks.

It was very soft water-- it was great for soft hair and skin-- It was just hard to tell when all the soap was rinsed--no "squeaky" clean.

Blue is for Boys...

I was looking for a devotional book on Handel's Messiah--because it has a cd in it with the Hallelujah chorus and...--anyway--I found an envelope of pictures at the bottom on the cabinet I was looking into--poor photography--very poor--but the pictures were mostly from our years in Edwards,--Mississippi almost 20 years ago.

We lived in a manse--a parsonage--a church owned preacher house. We lived there for 5 years--at our first church Jason pastored. The second bathroom was a mess--as you see--but the deacons did fix it up before we left. I have mentioned to a few people about the water in Edwards--lots of lignite or iron or something--said to be safe (I drank it:) needed lots of clorox in white wash loads--Made your skin and hair really soft and slippery--hard to "feel" rinsed off. I have said--a bath tub full looked like ice tea--southern tea, strong--or maybe even coca cola.

Well--here it is--only a few inches deep in this bath--
This was the blue bathroom between our room and the boys bedroom. There was a bathroom with a lot of brown in it in the main hall--which Hannah--and later Linnea used. Hence--Jack's oft repeated observation..

"BLUE IS FOR BOYS---





BROWN IS FOR GIRLS"

I was always confused about the "brown", I always expected him to say "pink" but just a few years ago Hannah reminded me about the brown bathroom--that girl is so smart.

Coming up empty

If anyone is interested...
I remember clearly having a thought late in the day 2 days ago that "This would be a good thing to post!!!"
"First chance tomorrow I will do a new post."
Unfortunately, I cannot remember clearly (or even cloudy) what it was.
Not a clue.
Just thought I'd mention it.
