Back in 1971 I loved and lived with a wonderful man named Barry. We moved into a townhouse that was painted all white. (Please remember it was 1971.) I love colors so we choose bright shades. The kitchen was painted sunshine yellow with Cantaloupe trim and repeating the theme, the living room walls were painted Cantaloupe with Pumpkin trim. The bedroom walls were painted dark Bishop’s Purple with silver stars on the ceiling.

When we were done, we celebrated with wind slouching in the bean bags. I was thanking Barry for being (crazy) and bold enough to have made my vision a reality. He laughed and said “This might be a good time to tell you that I am colorblind!
