Stated that her and Dee (my niece) knew which I was and gave my other readers a hint that I had a green dress.
Well, my challenge this morning to her is: BUT, can you name all of us?
Now she can probably name everybody, but can she put the correct name to each face?
Years ago, one of my brothers stopped and spoke to her when she was babysitting. She was walking to the Super Pantry where her father worked at the time.
That night she told me one of her uncles stopped and spoke to her. I ask her which one, since after all there are 6 boys in the family. Her answer was "Well, I don't know which one it was, but it was Dee's dad."
But that's nothing to be ashamed up, I stopped at a gun show in Arthur one Saturday to see a former fellow employee of mine. While there I saw two of my nephews, and they couldn't name me either. They just knew it was one of their dads sisters..
It didn't take their parents long to know which one it was since our older sister probably would never go to a gun show.
So wonder how she did in the challenge:
Front: Dad - Andrew
Mom - Esther
Left to right - doing each head as you go.
Martha Ann
Levi
Abraham (Abe)
John
Daniel (Dan)
Albert
Verna Irene (me)
Sovilla
Edward
But that is not our birth order.
Birth order is Sovilla, Edward, Albert, John, Levi, Abraham, Daniel, me, and Martha.

Hi Verna, congrats on being the featured blogger today. I will try to jump over to your favs and read their blogs too.
You grew up in a nice size family! Always somebody to chum around with huh?
I can relate to the story today. I have been married to my husband John for 33 years this July, but before that I was married for 9 years. So, when my girls,(ages 4,8and 9) and I joined John's family, we were amazed at how big his family was.
There were 7 kids, (counting John,...and he was the oldest). His dad came from a family of 10 kids and so there were a lot of Aunts and Uncles and cousins around when he grew up. There are 33 cousins in John's family.
My kids were always confused as to who everyone was when we would go to reunions and gatherings. It even took me a couple of years to really know who everyone belonged to!
But my girls,...to this day don't know some of them! (:>) Part of that was because we didn't see them very much,...not because I had dumb girls...haaaaa! (smile)
I hope you will have a great day.

Hello Verna! I read your post on your baking mishaps and I just had to laugh because I have done the same thing many times! In fact one time my mother-in -law was over visiting me and she had to throw baking soda on a fire that I accidently started in my oven. Totally embarrassing. But we had a good laugh ^+^
I love your blog and have enjoyed reading it.
I am still a new blogger but leaning new things each day.
I hope you will stop by and visit me.
The May give away has started....and next week I will be blogging from Disney World.
