Jacque Blue

When I was 12 years old the local radio station was having a call in contest. If you answered their question correctly you would win a prize. I don't remember the question or many of the details other then I called, I won, I won a free can of paint at the local paint store. So my dad let me go down pick out a paint color and we were going to paint my bedroom. Any color I wanted! (which was a big deal, because you see my dad was a painter and he would always choose the colors) So I chose this wonderful color, a very very beautiful Aqua Marine, I have always had a love affaire with the ocean and my bedroom was going to reflect that. The man at the paint store wrote Jacque Blue on the cans of paint and I was so excited. My room glowed from under the door. The rest of the house was painted in soft neutrals and greens, needless to say my room was special. I still find myself attracted to that color,as in my garden furniture and collection of glass sea floats. I would like to think somewhere in a dark dusty cupboard in my dad's garage sits an old (slightly old) can of paint with the name Jacque Blue on it.~Jacque
