Okee Dokeee Friends and Neighbors!
What a Teaser yesterday was huh? My Grandmom’s ancient photos really were a bit of a stumper although we DID have some correct guesses as always. Actually the very FIRST right guess was Easy’s Dad who guessed Portugal but then Doggy and Leo got SPECIFIC with their guesses and told us EXACTLY where the photos were taken in Portugal !
Here are the photos again………….
Here’s what Grandmom wrote on the back of each of these photos (which my Mom hadn’t seen until she took them out of Grandmom’s old photo album).
Top photo: Nazare Bottom Photo: Lisbon from St. George in Al Fama
When I posted these yesterday I thought it would be safe in saying that while these were very old photos that had been taken in the late 70s or early 80s, the place probably hadn’t changed much. I suspect that may be true although I bet there are a LOT more people on the beach in that top shot these days than back then! Lots of you thought the photos were in Italy or Greece and I believe there are spots in both of those countries that look very similar to this – my parents have been to Italy and say that’s right about THERE, but Greece (for us) is just a guess.
Anyway, bravo to all of you who even took a stab at it this week since the photo quality was NOT very good. But I thought it would be fun to use old photos and from a place where my parents hadn’t been for a visit but someone in my family HAD!
Who gets hugs this week?
Easy (and his Dad)
Doggy (and his Dad)
AND – I’ve decided starting next week we’ll have an extra added feature on the Tuesday Teaser Tell All. Whoever is FIRST to comment on my Teaser photo CORRECTLY is going to get a special NEW award in addition to my Teaser Hugs………how cool is that? Before I show you the new award, here’s what Easy and Doggy get from me!
And, here’s the official unveiling of the little award that SOMEONE will get every week who is the FIRST to post their correct guess in my comments!!!
WAY COOL HUH?????????????????? Now you have more reason than ever to get here on Tuesday mornings to guess !!
Happy Wednesday Peeps ! Sammy

Hi Savvy! We just came back from reading your wonderful post about Leo and the effort to get him back on his paws! How very nice it was that you updated us with such good news about him eating a bit too! Miss Stella and everybody who was involved in the auction and raffle did such an incredible job – we just helped spread the word and donated some thing to the auction. THEY were the ones who did all the “hard stuff”…..we just tried to make it successful and it sounds like it most certainly was. Big Hugs to you and your parents and the good doc who’s taking care of Leo – all the effort sounds like it’s paying off!
