Garry,

My Mom can literally recall the exact shades of any color and match it perfectly without having a swatch in her hand. And she has an incredible eye for decorating. So much so that one of the high end custom interior decorating companies in a nearby town pursued her for years trying to get her to work for them. She never did it. I wish she would have. She is very talented.

Well, I am the one that moved away--first. Then my folks bought a larger ranch further east of where I grew up and they moved. It isn't that far. About 1 hours. It just seems so far when I use to live less than 1/4 mile away.

I did not get 1 ounce of the interior decorator, color stuff from mom. Nada! My sisters on the other hand. It isn't fair. One is an artist deluxe. Wood carving, painting, drawing. The other has my mom's same eye for color and the same ability to decorate. Then---there is me. Bummer!
