The great white way

A TOTAL
WHITE OUT

Snow and cold
have returned to
central Montana.
While flakes and
frost may chill,
one must admit
that wintertime
is beautiful. The
"color" white is
magical. What
was once dull
can suddenly
become beyond
spectacular. It's
purity renews,
transforms, and
surprises. Who
doesn't like the
white stuff?
THE PERFECT
COMPANION

In my opinion there's
nothing as handsome
as a gentleman in a
freshly pressed white
shirt. My better half
always looks his best
in just that. The pure
chic of this wardrobe
staple works for both
men and women. For
the times when dress
shirts aren't the most
appropriate - anyone
can opt for a classic
arctic white polo or
tee shirt. No matter
the occasion you'll
look your best. Don
white day or night!
EXPRESSED
SERVICE

The perfect setting
can be one of life's
simple pleasures.
Just starting with
a perfectly pressed
and starched table
cloth lays a solid
foundation. Once
anything is placed
upon such a pure,
white platform it's
transformed into a
work of art. Layer
upon layer magic
starts to set a stage.
Suddenly simple
sustenance is now
a special event.
BON APPETIT!

WAKE UP CALL

When one must make
their bed and lie in it -
crisp, brilliant linen
is the only way to go.
I've tried "designer"
bedding, yet I find the
only bed that comforts
this restless roue is a
total white out. Color
has it's place but NOT
in my bedroom. Well,
at least not if we're
talking about linens.
The same applies to
the bathroom. White
is my preference for
all things terry. Not
only is it pretty, it's
also sanitary. Just
call me Mr. Clean!
PERFECT
MIX UP

Don't get me
wrong, I like
color. Yet my
soul always
stirs whenever
I see a white
bouquet. Years
ago flowers
shifted the tide
in Frank's favor.
He knows that
the way to this
man's heart is
an all white mix
of roses, stock,
orchids, lilies,
and hydrangea.
Consider it my
secret garden.
HOW SWEET
IT TRULY IS...

I rarely go over to the
dark side. Chocolate
lovers aside, I adore
anything white. As a
boy Mom made sure
a cake was always on
hand. Often that was
Angel Food. Such a
light and fluffy mass
was even better when
smothered in a mess
of peaches, pineapple,
or strawberries. All
topped with whipped
cream! I also adore
a coconut layer or
vanilla icebox cake.
As long as it's not
chocolate I'm happy!
TILL DEATH
DO US PART

Not always for the
pure of heart, white
is if nothing else,
bright. Depending
on one's culture, it
either symbolizes
the start or end of
something important.
While some think
that black is the only
option, white always
stands out and what
could be better? So
why not strut your
stuff in a blaze of
glory? Whether
one dons, devours,
or decorates white
is always in season.
