Color Test

I saw this color personality test on another blog, and, of course, now can't remember where. Its fun and interesting. Give it a go and see what color you are. I think mine is pretty accurate.

you are mediumorchid #BA55D3

Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be. Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it. Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.

Do you think it means I'm this color?

Or, am I more like this color?

Have a great Thursday!

16 Years Ago Today

Where were you and what were you doing 16 years ago this morning? We were living in Shreveport and this was Hubs last week of working before his retirement. Our twin daughters lived in OKC and  were able to call us within minutes to tell us they were safe. It was impossible to get calls through after that for several days due to overloaded phone circuits.
Can any of us ever forget this picture?

168 innocent people, men, women and children lost their lives that day and families were changed forever. Today that place where the Murrah Building stood, is now the Oklahoma National Memorial. Its a beautiful restful place memorializing  those lives  lost. The city has done a fantastic job of  building this Memorial as testimony of a senseless tragedy of man's inhumanity to man.

If you ever have a chance to visit the Museum and Memorial, please do so. It typifies that Hope can survive in the face of political terrorism and that no matter if we get knocked down, this country will rise up and survive.

Have a great day and remember those who lost loved ones 16 years ago today.
