"a kiss without a mustache is like an egg without salt"

How well do you know Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" mustachioed friends and family members? Almanzo Wilder grew a mustache after his marriage, and he apparently sported one for the rest of his life.

Some of these photos are easy to identify; a couple might be new to you. Come back on Monday to see how well you did. xxx and Happy Birthday, Almanzo!
