Hello Everybody!
Did everyone (well not QUITE everyone but LOTS anyway) have a nice 3-day weekend? We did…….we got in lots of R&R (that’s Rest and Relaxation for those of you who never heard of that term before) and food (we all have heard THAT word before!), and some fun thrown in (who doesn’t like that?!?!).
Yesterday was a day of remembering – which is what Memorial Day here is all about. I did that post on my Granddad but also went around to all my friends and read their blogs with their own remembrances and it was one of those “bittersweet” kind of days I suppose.
But today – TODAY is another matter! It’s that time again……..yep – you guys are getting awfully good at these Tuesday Teasers of mine and this one today might not fool you either but one thing I can promise you is that you’ll wonder who on earth took such horrible pictures? Well, it was my Grandmom who took them – my Mom’s Mom – She took them on a trip back in the early 80s with an “Instamatic” camera. She was traveling with a friend and they visited this ONE place although stopped at several cities. My Mom has all my Grandmom’s old photo albums and sadly she didn’t take very good care of all her photos because the albums are a mess. One of these days my Mom says she might get around to taking all of them out and putting them into decent photo albums. In the meantime, see if you can see enough detail in these TWO photos to tell what country she was visiting?????
Sorry about the horrible color – but what can I say? Mom tried to adjust the colors a bit (obiously!!) because the photos were so faded. I wanted to use these because they were INTERESTING! I’m not sure, Easy, but I don’t believe you’ll find a garbage can in sight!!! HAHAHAHAHA
I’ll be anxious to see how many of you guess this one………..I do believe there WILL be some correct guesses though because I have a feeling if you’ve been here (even though these are old photos) this place probably hasn’t change a WHOLE lot from about 35 years ago! Some places are just like that……..stuck in time.
You know what you win right? Those of you who guess correctly will get:
HAVE A FANTASMIC TUESDAY………….Love, Sammy
So have a super duper day…………and I’ll be handing out hugs tomorrow – will YOU be one of those who gets one??????????? Hmmmmm?????????????????

We all put our long ears to the ground and our heads together and decided it was a place where there are lots of packs formed. And the peeps in that pack had to flee to a place where nobody could reach them, cuz who would want to climb those cliffs or brave that surf? It is a place where tsunamis don’t exist cuz if they did those peeps would not have built so close to the sand. And where is there any place for doggies to poop and pee? It’s obviously a pack that doesn’t have a lot of doggies! Love from Mattie the foxhound, Simone the collie and Eddie & Lucy the JRs.

Pam, finished your book yesterday. You must write a sequel. I must know what happens to these characters. Wish my kitties would let me carry them around like Eddy let Bailey, but I don’t feed them tuna regularly. Calista is about the only one who lets me pick her up and carry her. Hope to see more of Bailey, Kyle, Barry, Matt, Eddy (and maybe Sammy too) in the future and find out what decision Tammy makes. Thanks for sending the book, Janet

Hi Janet…..what a nice mini-review! I’m so glad you liked the book – I’d love to finish the sequel even if it’s just because Sam deserves to be a little star along with Eddy BUT I thought when I wrote “Bridge” that the characters were interesting enough – and the town was interesting enough – that they could support themselves in a series. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the read. That’s just GRAND!
