A Colorful Hodgepodge
Hey Y'all ....It's a Hodgepodge Kind of Day....
Joyce ask the Questions.
We answer the Questions.
1. Do you make an effort to see/hear live music? Last time you went somewhere for the live music?
Does a High School band count as live music? If so, then I listened to our local High School band play as they marched in our town's Annual POW WOW this past Saturday...
2. According to HGTV the colors of the year for 2026 are mostly decided. Top paint companies declare a color of the year, and decorators will incorporate that into their new year home and room designs. Here's what's on tap in terms of paint trends for 2026 (check out the link here to see photos)
*Sherwin Williams - universal khaki
*Behr - hidden gem
*Valspar - warm eucalyptus
*Dutch Boy - melodious ivory
*Glidden - warm mahogany
*Krylon -matte coffee bean
*Clark and Kensington - Hazelnut Crunch
*Graham and Brown - divine Damson
*Dunn and Edwards - midnight garden
First Question - did you know there were so many different paint manufactures? Which color on the list most appeals to you in terms of your own decorating style? Do you have plans to do any painting in your home in the coming year, and if so might you choose a color from this list?
Most of these companies I have heard of...with the exception of the last 3 on the list. My family has been in the home building business for YEARS.
I think my color out of these would be the Sherwin Williams....Universal khaki
Actually...I am in the process of selecting paint colors for my in-laws home that we are having painted.
No...I have already decided to go with Heirloom brand paint...."Irish Garden" for the bottom portion of the kitchen cabinets and "Snowbound" for the top cabinets. The rest of the house will be snowbound as well
Now, forget painting walls, which color name appeals to you most?
None of the above...but I do like Sherwin Williams "Agreeable Grey."
3. What's something in your life you have to do-watch-or participate in that's about as exciting as watching paint dry?
This one is pretty easy!! It is still 90 degrees and above here in East Texas. I am still having to water 50 pot plants and with the heat and the humidity...this is one thing that is totally NOT exciting. Watching paint dry is boring and I feel the same way about watering in the heat.
4. Tuesday, October 14th is /was National Dessert day...did you/will you celebrate? Tell us how? What's your absolute favorite dessert. Yes, just one..I know!!
Unfortunately, I did not participate in National Dessert Day! Well...unless animal crackers are considered a dessert.
My absolute favorite dessert is: Egg Custard Pie... this is an oldie and few people make it anymore. My mom made the absolute BEST Egg Custard pie ever. I usually can not stop with just one slice!! Second favorite is...Just kidding! Joyce said only one!!
Borrowed Photo:5. Perhaps today is the day I will.....................
I will try liver and onions!! Who am I kidding...I have no desire to try liver and onions.
I've made peace with spinach, and I'll nibble on kale,
But liver and onions? That ship done sailed!
Even if Grandma says it's fine,
That duo just ain't this girl's design.
You can smother it, butter it, or try to disguise,
But one whiff of onions, and I roll my eyes!
So pass the biscuits, honey, and let's agree...
Liver and onions ain't ever for me!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Totally Random Thought here:
I was in a Bath and Body Works store today to make a few gift purchases. I do not know how the workers deal with all the different fragrances ALL DAY LONG. In one corner of the store..someone is spraying "Pomegranate Citrus Fizz"
and on the other side of the store, the smell of "Merry Berry Martini" is circling around everywhere. Add another 30 different scents, and WOW...It becomes difficult to breath.
Just saying...I don't think I could do it.
Hope you all have a Blessed Wednesday, and May your day be kind, cozy and as good as a warm cup of hot chocolate!!
Shug...💜
