Finally found her…

8/26/06. For those of you who saw the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory….This is my “Golden Egg”. Actually I wanted it 25 years ago but finally got it “NOW”. We put Veruca safely in the garage last night and now the real fun begins.

This is what started this adventure. That’s me with the pony tails and saddle shoes. Note the 65 Corsa Vert in the background. It was evening orchid with a white top.
