Anne Taintor caption contest — my thinking cap is ON

Pam Kueber - Updated: March 24, 2024

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

It’s bucket list month, I’ve decided. Remember that time I was a Finalist (!) in the Anne Taintor caption contest? It got pasted up all Anne Taintor professional-like: 

I was a finalist! So proud! 10 Years of Retro Renovation Proud!

Meanwhile, I need to WIN! So I’m gonna start entering her caption contests again! Every month until I WIN! 

Head over here to Anne’s blog if you want to enter, too!

    I love her calendars. I get one each year to hang in my kitchen.

    “Susie, Sweetie, if you wipe your runny nose on that ribbon one more time, Mommy’s going to tell Santa to not bring you that pony…”

    Mother says, Oh yes, you’ll make some man a fine wife someday.

    Mommy, you’re a different person when you take your nerve pill.
