1. Congrats to all the winners!

These are wonderful pictures...

We are so fortunate to have such wonderful photographers here on DU!


And.....I remember that song! Yeah, I'm old. Very sweet.

2. Not sure knowing the

song would give away your age at all. Replays of Tammy, Gidget and Shirley Temple were a mainstay for Sunday afternoon movies when I was a kid. Oh and can't forget the Elvis movies. LOL

7. I had to watch it just for old times...Tammy had about as much luck with love as the Cartwright boys

As soon as a woman fell for Ben, Adam, Hoss or Little Joe she either got sick, died, fell for someone else or became a nun. Bonanza was not kind to the ladies....

8. Wonderful winners

Great contest!

Congratulations to everyone.

9. Congratulations to Rdking647 and to Handmade34

both are very deserving wins in a tough field filled with photos where one was more beautiful than the next. I was surprised that in that stellar lineup my photo did as well as it did. I think that sweet pensive young girl just grew on people.
Thank you CC for so ably taking over the running of the contest in a pinch.

Great job CC and I must admit I have never seen "Tammy and the Batchelor" but might find some time to check it out...



I had this 6 course dinner --wishing I was sitting on my houseboat porch-- to celebrate my 2nd place win (although I am honest enough to know sometimes things are merely quirky )
