blue christmas

"'ll have a blue Christmas....without you"

 Maybe you are traveling to visit family, near or far.

Memories of travels are everlasting.  I always remember visually and associate places with color.

A comment was left about Paris blues and yes, Paris at night is a city awash in dress blues.

I shall never forget the trip I took to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I was a teenager in high school and went to visit my sister and brother-in-law.

Elvis Presley died and there was a blue sort of sadness all over the land.

 I think everyone was blue and glued to the news. 

There was a quiet hush.

 

We listened to Elvis Presley music and soaked our sorrows in yummy comfort food.

 We escaped to the shops and museums to look at art and architecture.

I bought a pair of blue suede shoes.

Do you ever get the blues at Christmas?
All I want are deep dark moody blues.
Blue velvet, blue polish, blue everything.
Navy blue, sky blue, cobalt blue, admiral blue, yankee blue, electric blue.

All I want for Christmas is blue.  Everything blue.

I spy blue. Nothing says summer more than that of the color azure blue or the entire range of mediterranean blues.

Azure blue takes me to the ocean.

What color takes you away?

Apparently I am not the only one who finds beauty in the blues. Read this.

Thank-you goes out to my sister Liz for sending me this article.

rhapsody in blue

One color that keeps playing over and over in my head like "Rhapsody in Blue" are all the beautiful shades of cobalt, aqua, turquoise and lapis and hydrangea blue. I want to add blue touches to my home and listen to Porgy and Bess. Blue is so friendly, don't you agree?
