Wondering what to serve those friends and family who pop in over the festive season?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you like Jelly and Olives, you're in luck here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Better yet, you can premake them for unexpected visitors! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked a few of my favourites from the images of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BadAndUglyOfRetroFood" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;">Bad and Ugly of Retro Food</span></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Some Friday's, nothing less than a Blue Sequin Suit, silver ukulele and gold boots will do.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can relate to this picture.<br />
I'm a ukulele player (a learner - it was a new years resolution to learn an instrument) and I<br />
have had many a hairstyle similar to Tim's over the years thanks to some unfortunate perms.<br />
Never owned gold cowboy boots though - something I hope to rectify.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's to Tiny Tim! We shall dub him the Earl of Freaky Friday </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Heather knew Dawn wasn't right for Troy.<br />
Her tight fishtail braid began to ache on her head as the photographer fumbled with his lens.<br />
Why had Troy chosen Dawn to sit on his hip for the photo and not her?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dawn easily attracted men with her strawberry blonde hair, petite frame, and kind nature,<br />
but Heather knew her bond with Troy ran far deeper and stronger than his feelings for Dawn.<br />
<br />
Troy had trusted Heather to put blonde tips in his perfect perm one lazy Saturday afternoon,<br />
and she'd felt comfortable enough with him to explain why she never wore flip flops or sandals due to her slightly webbed feet.<br />
One day, she would leave this town, and make something of her life to pay for the surgery<br />
to have it corrected.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heather decided to politely smile and get this over with.<br />
She'd let Dawn have her battle victory today, but the war for Troy's heart was far from over. </div>

Hello there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a quick one to say g'day and let you know I am moving house this week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Change of Internet and phone provider means our new home won't have the Internet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and phone installed for a week or so. (Say what now?! No Internet?!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until then, I will collect a trailer load of freaky folk to present to you in a Freaky Friday very soon.</div>

After the Comb Over carnage from last week, I thought we'd take a walk through nature.<br />
All you need is some fresh air and a song in your heart.</div>

There he is! That's him.<br />
Norman Ray - the man with the plan.<br />

I think Chuck took a wrong turn on the way to the<br />
speed dating luncheon.<br />

Raymond's motto was simple - Love me, love my harp.<br />
He didn't make it to the speed dating luncheon either.<br />
Perhaps he could give Chuck a lift back to his car.<br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dIRBLtkqOqw/U-x0wn-wOjI/AAAAAAAAJMI/08siGdWqt00/s1600/Frankie+Valli+and+the+Four+Seasons+1975.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dIRBLtkqOqw/U-x0wn-wOjI/AAAAAAAAJMI/08siGdWqt00/s1600/Frankie+Valli+and+the+Four+Seasons+1975.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obsessed with this song this week, and indeed anything related to the<br />
"Jersey Boys" and Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons at present.<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw the musical "Jersey Boys" a few years back, and the movie twice over the last few weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I made peace with the film being quite different to the musical, and the songs not<br />
translating off the screen as well as they do in live theatre, I really enjoyed the movie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, you don't get to hear much of the song in the film. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps because the film is based on the original Four Seasons, and "Who Loves You" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wasn't released until 1975 when Frankie Valli was the only original member still performing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although, original Four Seasons band member Bob Gaudio continued to write<br />
and produce songs for the Four Seasons including "Who Loves You" and<br />
"December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" and Frankie Valli's solo career.<br />
<br />
<br />

It's the 1970's version for me. Great tune!!<br />

Coco Palms Resort on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, is famous for being the beautiful backdrop and shooting location for part of the 1961 Elvis Film Blue Hawaii.<br />
Elvis Presley stayed at the resort (Bungalow 56 if Internet info is correct!) while filming took place.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The resort boomed as a tourist destination after the films release and became one of the number one venues in Hawaii for weddings and honeymoons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In 1992, a Hurricane Iniki ripped through the island and the damage to the resort was catastrophic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many insurance companies in Hawaii went bankrupt, and with no finances to rebuild and restore the resort, the Coco Palms went to ruins and has remained that way for over 20 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The property was reportedly acquired by Investors in 2013, who have plans </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to redevelop, restore and reconstruct the resort to it's former glory for reopening in 2017.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Our endeavour is to revitalize the grounds and rebuild, while preserving the soul of the iconic resort". - Tyler Greene Manager of Coco Palms Hui.(<a href="http://www.travelweekly.com/Hawaii-Travel/Insights/Hyatt-will-manage-Coco-Palms-Resort-on-Kauai/" target="_blank">source</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But while finalising my post to publish this evening, I found an online report and TV news broadcast of a fire that occurred at the Coco Palms Resort this weekend just gone 5th July 2014. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to the report, many of the remaining original buildings and rooms have been</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
destroyed in the fire. Very sad indeed.</div>

There are many images of the Coco Palms resort online, but whilst searching, I discovered<br />
Messy Nessy Chic's post about the Coco Palms in her 'Abandoned Hotel' series. The pics on messynessychic were great in that they had a real sense of 'then' and 'now' about them.<br />
I picked a few of my favourites to share here, but if you would like to see many more great photographs (with original image source info) and read more about the resort, please head on over to the awesome messynessychic <a href="http://www.messynessychic.com/2014/01/23/elvis-presleys-abandoned-tiki-paradise/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">here</span></a>. : )</div>
