MLMM Friday Faithfuls

The color on this chart that jumps out at me is cyan. A remarkable thing happened in 1967 as I was living in Houston, Texas, sitting in a Big Boy restaurant with my husband. I was pregnant and it was summer, no air conditioning in our car and every Friday night we went grocery shopping and ate out. I was young, nineteen, and a trip to the store was exhausting in hot humid weather. By the time we got into the checkout line at the grocery, I had to sit down by the side, feeling faint. When we were in the restaurant and waiting for our hamburgers, I spotted a young couple and their baby. The baby was dressed as a girl, had red curls and unbelievable eyes, the color cyan. They stood out as bright as the swatch of color you see above. I was a redhead and I thought, I hope our baby is as beautiful as she. I had a boy with dark brown curly hair 😀 and no redheads, or cyan eyes.
