This week at Rainbow Connections, we've been searching for gold.

The image

And some of us have found it!

The image

We've been dazzled by glitzy, glamorous, gold.

The image

We've seen gold in places as simple as a golden brown pie fresh from the oven.

The image

We've seen gold that's extarordinary and extra special...

The image

And we've seen gold that's very ordinary...

The image

We've seen gold inside our houses...

The image

And outside, in nature...

The image

We've seen real gold, and we've seen fool's gold.
The image

We've learned that it takes just a little gold to turn something ordinary into something very special.

The image

We've seen gold everywhere we look!

The image

And now, we'd like to give all of this week's winners a gold star!

The image

Thanks Sherrie once again for all your hard word work and excellent presentations of the themes and the final theme weeks' winners. You do an outstanding job. I congratulate all the winners this week; and I appologize for not being able to get comments on alot of pics. It seems something is not working quite right on my computer, the images are not coming thru, just boxes with red x's in them. To say the least it is very frustrating. Hopefully I can figure out the problem and get it corrected. Thanks again for your continual hard work!
