Call us Uncle Chuck

Hey Uncle Chuck,

Remember this hat? Yup , it belonged to you. Somehow, I have your one year old Easter outfit, your bible, and this hat. Need to chat with you about Dad's birthday present. Give A and Z a kiss from us!

( in your Bible you wrote.... Dear God, I thank you for giving my family the mony to go the the Dodger game. P.S. I sorry my writing is messy)

The Story of a House that needed some paint

My house is screaming, it needs to be painted. So comes picking colors. Should be fun , right? No, not fun. My Hubby, the painter is doing a fab job scraping and prepping. As I try to pick the colors. I have gone from, all white, to yellow, blue , gray,green. I want something different! Dog'on it! My Dad and Mom's new house (which is beautiful) is gray with white trim and red door, which is what I was considering, but I don't want to be just like my Mom. (love ya mom) I have been pulling pages from magazines for years now, anyone else? or just me. I have a little file going. As I was looking through the file for inspiration I noticed something. Blue. Lots of blue.
I want that house in the bottom picture. Is it possible? Is that like asking your hairdresser for Brooke Sheilds hair when you have 2 hairs on your head? I did narrow down colors thanks to all the magazine pages. The name of the colors are "Piece of the sky" and "Dark Cherry tart" I love the names of the colors, so I must love the colors......
