Golden Yellow

This collage featuring Olga Korbet, the golden girl of the ’72 and ’76 Olympic Games, will be familiar to those of you who follow my Monday Bouquet.

Her never-to-be forgotten gold medal performances and a smile that is as heart warming and magical today as I remember it in 1972 are worth re-visiting in this official YouTube video from the International Olympic Committee: http://youtu.be/c2NGqI6FqeQ

Twinkling lights from the 22nd Annual Gingerbread Village, which we enjoyed seeing at the Sheraton Hotel in Seattle a week ago; well worth the visit.

take care of the pennies

coins

Shove ha’penny; penny for your thoughts; the threepenny opera; sing a song of sixpence; will you sell for one shilling…?

These coins of days gone by may be gone, but none are forgotten.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Gone But Not Forgotten

Circa 1972, just the MGB is gone, but definitely not forgotten. However, the beautiful young gal in the matching flame wig is as gorgeous as ever.
