by annwood

Update:  comments are closed, votes are being counted , winners announced later today.

****************************************************************************

Thanks  to all of you – a panel of expert judges has, with difficulty, narrowed the field to twelve and a winner will be chosen by your vote. Also,  as a thanks for your time, imagination  and enthusiasm 2 prizes will be awarded – one bundled up bird for the caption contest  winner and another bird will be awarded to a name chosen at random from the voters. Please vote by number (and only once) in the comments section of this post  and I’ll announce both winners by the end of the day Friday.

Okay, everyone! Take a minute and say your goodbyes. I’ll be sending you back to clean up your workspace and then get in your box. We will miss you around here! Make it work!

Darlene had told only her best friend, Eliza, but by the time her mail-order groom was set to arrive, the whole town had heard about it.

If only Henry had seen that it was a glass window…

    #1, without question. Well, maybe a little uncertainty because #12 does combine theatre, poetry and current events……no, I’m sticking with #1

    This was definitely a tough one, but #7 came out on top in my book. Thanks to everyone who submitted captions–they’re wonderfully inventive!

    #7 is in sync with the shipping you are doing on birds. Like it.

    I actually came on to add a comment about 2 weddings and a funeral and saw that it was already mentioned (12) but when I read #8 I thought- why bother, that is just to flippin’ hilarious. So I vote for #8.
