white load

"Let's go see the colors on the wall" - I exclaimed to my daughter.

To which she replied, "But, what's to see?" They are all white.

Yes, clever, cunning whites freshly painted on my walls.

Fresh buckets of white akin to an all white load of laundry.

While I have had my fair share of living with color, I am now taking a breather and welcoming all white, simply white, snow white, intense white, super white, and snow white, moonlight white.

Has this ever happened to you? Were you a color devotee and then you changed to all white environ or have you always lived in all white?

We will see how long I can live with the new white environs once we are settled in.

For now, I am off to toss in another white load.

first name basis

Ben and I are on a first name basis.

For so many years, he was Sir Benjamin Moore to me, but now that we have gotten to know each other really well, he said. "please, call me Ben."

Is there anyone in your world that you now call on a first name basis. I can think of a few others, like "Kate" - "Ralph" and "Oscar."

You can call me "Patricia" just never "Pat!"
