I did do a post on my blog for it. I am having difficulty getting the bluejay to work correctly. Maybe you could help me. I tried to literally drag it but it wouldn't work. I copied the address and it didn't show up correctly either. hugs, Ellen<BR/><BR/>Ellen at sweetmemorymakingmom.blogspot.comsweetmemorymakingmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440750507921730240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-75357005439763089792008-09-30T01:55:00.000-04:002008-09-30T01:55:00.000-04:00Hi SallyThanks for the tour, and thanks for hostin...Hi Sally<BR/>Thanks for the tour, and thanks for hosting blue monday.

Your blue houses are fun to see. Personally I can't imagine a blue house except for my Aunt Shirley's very old Victorian home in MI. Blue looks awesome on her home. A lot of those homes are from the fifties. I know because I grew up in a house like those. <BR/>Real modern slanted roof and tar and stone roofs. My parents lived in that house for over thirty years. My dad was a contractor and built it. It cost a whopping $5,000. We had six kids and one bathroom. lol. We never thought a thing about it. I know my brother would sneak out and go in the bushes from time to time. After all he had 5 sisters to contend with. lol.<BR/><BR/>Love and hugs, JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-82737165063380050822008-09-29T11:05:00.000-04:002008-09-29T11:05:00.000-04:00Hello SallyWhat a perfect post for Blue Monday...B...Hello Sally<BR/>What a perfect post for Blue Monday...Blue Houses!

Some were good, some were bad and some were very bad :) Being a PINK girl myself, blue has not always been one of my favorite colors but I am beginning to enjoy the softer shades of blue more and more all the time and it is slowly creaping into my house to blend in with all my pink.
