While I Sort Out the Pictures...

A little trouble getting the pictures from Guatemala uploaded, so taking a post "holiday" to share something I came across while there that really doesn't have anything to do with the trip. Actually, this is really for my immediate family. After well over 30 years, I have found proof that refutes a position that I (and Tony and my mom) took back then. I have totally forgotten the context, but it was something about Daddy explaining something about art to us.

Now, you should understand that my dad has quite an artistic eye and I remember him teaching me about what matches and what doesn't when you're picking out clothes. (From him I learned that stripes that go with plaids. It took me years to put green and blue together because that did not fit the fashion rules of the late 60s, but I digress.) We thought he had a slip of the tongue, a brief confusion, some distraction from three kids bouncing around.

Back to the proof at hand. This is really for Tony who was part of that discussion so many years ago (and the many since then as we fondly recall the discussion of colors). Brown is one of the four primary colors.

For those of you who don't speak Spanish, the title is Primary Colors. There's rojo (red), amarillo (yellow), azul (blue) and then the brown blob under blue. There it is irrefutable proof. Daddy, we owe you an apology. (And just in case there is further discussion, you should know that I have more than one piece of proof.)

For those of you not part of our immediate family, thank you for giving us this moment to work through this.
