Visual Olympics

Colors beaming freely 
Flags waving wildly

Athletes training seriously
Teams competing proudly

Families cheering fiercely
Smiles reflecting beautifully

Bodies leaping strenuously
Minds focusing intensely

Logos worn conspicuously
Pins trading constantly

Music playing ceremoniously
Countries competing peacefully

Flame shining globally
Spirits mixing universally

Paris 2024, Los Angeles 2028...Opa!

Will be entering more posts during the month of August but in the meantime...so excited to know that it sounds 'quite clear' that the Olympics will be coming to Los Angeles in 2028! 

Can't help smiling when I think of those 1984 Olympic memories:

Wide open freeways
Taking my son pin trading while carrying my daughter in a baby backpack
Helping MomMom Wimberg experience one of the highlights of her life, The Opening Ceremony
The music and excitement of the Olympic Village at USC
Trips to the venues in Pasadena, UCLA, Mission Viejo, San Diego
The huge inflated six pack where Sam the Eagle and fun pin traders gathered
Opening our home to our out-of-state family
