Have we got a contest for you!
Our official anniversary was 5/22, but the Wenches decided it would work better if we celebrated our anniversary on Memorial Day with a big fanfare.
We're going to celebrate in style, with a fun contest, a flurry of free books, and some downright adorable photographs of the Wenches as children. Later today, I'll be posting individual pictures of the Wenches, and your job will be to identify who's who. You'll be sending your guesses to Sherrie (that would be me!). Anyone accidentally sending their guesses to the blog will, unfortunately, be disqualified.
Here's the way it works: I'll post a childhood picture of each of the Wenches. You'll study the pictures and send your best guesses to me. The person guessing all 7 pictures correctly will win an autographed book from each of the Wenches. In case of ties, the names of those who guessed correctly will be thrown into a hat and I'll draw one name as the winner.
If you think this will be an easy contest, think again. Several of the Wench kiddie photos will stump you!
As an added bonus, we're going to make the contest even more fun by encouraging you to add captions to the pictures. You can do that via the comments feature, but DO NOT include your guesses on the photographs or you'll get disqualified! Each Wench will give one book to the person who, in her opinion, supplies the best caption to her picture.
So get ready. Put on your thinking caps. And to prime the pump, here's a kiddie picture of me when I was about six-years-old. And no, I don't have a high forehead. My bangs started out just above my eyebrows, but Mom kept trying to even them up with scissors. The result: an uneven fringe that stuck straight out, high on the forehead. ~Sherrie

LOL! You guys are funny! Too bad my picture isn't part of the contest. Still, it's good for a warm-up exercise for the real thing. I'll be posting the actual Wench pictures shortly ...

Charming photos. I identified Sherrie-- of course, that one doesn't count.

Sherrie, you were so cute! When I look at your photo I want to break into song... "Doe is a dear, a female dear. Ray a drop of golden sun..."
