I started thinking about the color pink and it’s meaning, I knew what Pink was, but thought there must be some history to the name!
First thanks to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for all her hard work on Pink Saturdays..be sure to visit her first, then stop over and visit White Sheep Farm..I just re-found this blog this past week, I had enjoyed it but guess I did not have it on my favorites list:( Anyway, the author is an awesome lady so stop by!
Pink is a pale red color; the use of the word for the color we know today as pink was first recorded in the late 17th century . The color Pink itself is a combination of red and white. Other hues of pink may be combinations of rose and white, magenta and white, or orange and white.
In Western culture, the practice of assigning pink to an individual gender began in the 1920s.
From then until the 1940s, pink was considered appropriate for boys because being related to red it was the more masculine and decided color, while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color.
The use of pink in familiar phrases can help a designer see how their color of choice might be perceived by others — both the positive and negative aspects.
Good pink

Aren’t these tulips fabulous, took this picture last Saturday at the Copley Square in Boston, MA..
Thanks for stopping by to visit, I have been gone for the last 3 pink Saturday's and I sure missed being involved! Have a great weekend peeps!
We have been gone from home for 18 days now, fly home from Boston tomorrow evening so by midnight, we hope, we will be HOME. 19 days is probably just too long for both of us to be gone. We are so grateful to my brother and parents for helping out with the dogs, it’s the only way we can relax when away knowing THEY are taking good care of them! It will be a good, long while before we are gone like this again. I am actually anxious to get home, get in a routine again, get our butts to Weight Watchers or another plan, and continue emptying boxes and all… this break from it all was probably just what we needed.
We docked here in Boston on Friday morning, and sharing a hotel/apartment with our friends Rob and Susan, who live in southwestern Michigan. We met them on a similar cruise in 1996. I love Boston, we were here four years ago and I still love it. It’s a vibrant city, lots of great food, great people and so much beauty and I especially love all the history here. Wish we could spend more time, but will return once again to explore.
Here is our hotel, called the Hotel 140
We are in a one bedroom apartment..the building is the YWCA building, built in 1929…Lots of Charm!
yes, two beds in the one bedroom..good thing we like each other!
Carl and I took a LONG walk yesterday morning, probably about 3 miles or so..saw some beautiful neighborhoods…enjoy!
A young man named Eric and his 1 year old doxie Oscar! I was so happy to get to pet a little doxie..I guess I am really needing to be home! Eric was very gracious!
Later in the afternoon we got in the car and headed south to see our friends Jan and Dennis, who were such gracious hosts to us.. We went to dinner at their Club, it was wonderful. A good time had by all!
Susan and Jan!
A beautiful backyard waterfall and pond..
Dennis, Rob & Carl
Delicious appetizers!
I had lobster mac n cheese oh my so goooood!
Jan and Susan checking out design and fabrics in Jan’s studio. Jan has had a handbag and jewelry business for several years, and her items are wonderfully constructed with love and care! Check out her shop at Jayelle Designs
Thanks for stopping by..we will start packing up tonight, and just do some very local walking in the morning as we need to head over to the airport by around 2 or a little earlier to return the rental car and get through TSA and to the gate..
Will post again in a few days after I get home and settled a bit…later!
