Put on some red lipstick and live a little

Why are fire engines red?

Well, newspapers are read too. Two and two is four. Four times three is 12. There are 12 inches in a ruler. Queen Elizabeth was a ruler. Queen Elizabeth was also a ship. Ships sail the ocean. Fish swim in the ocean. Fish have fins. Finns fought the Russians. Russians are called reds. And since fire engines are always rushin’ around, they have to be red.


Just in case any of you were wondering.

Today I am thankful for the color red.  Red is not on my list of favorite colors.  But there are plenty of things that are red that I do like.  Some of my favorite red things are:

Red raspberries....probably my favorite fruit

Red roses

The red in a beautiful sunset.

The red rocks of Southern Utah.

Lady Bugs.

Red fruits.  Raspberries, as mentioned previously are my favorite fruit, however, I also enjoy red grapes, watermelon, strawberries, apples, and cherries.

Christmas red.  The red of Christmas is the first color of Christmas, symbolizing the Saviors sacrifice for all.

And now for your listening pleasure, I give you Lady in Red by Chris De Burgh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_5iEv0gnjo

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,

I love you...
