Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.la peregrinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10992459469931809488noreply@blogger.comBlogger18461100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919068.post-18276960270997145862012-01-27T11:11:00.000-06:002012-01-27T11:11:00.894-06:00Visions of 1960's Teen Life in American Advertising 3 You can give you hair that Summer look (All year long) That Summer bright, sunny light, Summer look (All year long) With Summer Blonde (The gentle hair lightener!)

The original copy of this photo is stained in places and I used a photo editor to clean it up as much as I could. As you can see she has been posed to conspicuously show her wedding ring. This makes me think the photo was taken soon after her marriage to my father but I may be wrong.
