Favorite Colors

Well, Mike and I have been in Blanding this past week painting Doug and Caroline's kitchen. (Why were we painting the kitchen? See this link.)This afternoon, family was over and we were talking about the reunion. Marjorie was showing us the tags she's created for the display table. Caroline then said, "Oh, red is mother's favorite color."

Did you know that RED was Margie's favorite color? I didn't.

The next obvious question was, "Did your dad have a favorite color?" Quickly Caroline responded, "Yes, Blue."

So, we quickly decided that for the reunion, except at the temple of course, we should all wear RED and/or BLUE. This shouldn't be too difficult since we are all in town for the 4th of July celebration anyway. So, come dressed in RED and/or BLUE! P.S. The dress code is casual!
