Teaser Tell All

Posted on July 31, 2013 by onespoiledcat

Howdy Everybody! WOW……that was a GREAT Teaser wasn’t it? Hmmm??? Several of you really REALLY did a lot of close examination of that photo but only ONE guessed it exactly right and of course was FIRST with the right guess………

Here’s the photo one last time!

This photo was taken by my Mom in 1990. She and my Dad were on their honeymoon – the SECOND stop of their honeymoon – which was in VENICE, ITALY !!!!! Congratulations to Boomdeeadda for guessing it exactly right and in doing so she was the FIRST (and only) one to do that!!!! These are for you Boomdee:

The Much Coveted “First Right Guesser” Award….

The “I Guessed RIGHT!” award……

If you don’t know about Boomdeeadda you SHOULD. I love her blog (and Mom does too). She’s VERY crafty (as in makes incredibly wonderful things!) and artistic. We love all her ideas! She also has two beautiful girl kitties named Petals and Blossom. Please make sure you visit her blog because I think you’ll enjoy your visit!

Several of you actually DID guess “Italy”…….not Venice, but still Italy – and you were also right so please if you’d like to award yourself the “Big Sammy Hug for Guessing the Teaser” it’s all yours…….there are a lot of rile roofs in Europe and while Mom and Dad have never been to Istanbul, we loved that many of you thought that’s where these particular tiled roofs were located!

The picture was taken from a little rooftop bar on top of the Hotel Ala which was where my parents stayed in Venice. I’ve shared a photo from that time before – might have been one of my first Teasers in fact….a photo of my Mom and Dad having some wine (maybe a bit too much wine…but it WAS their honeymoon after all!!). It was right on a little side canal and just a few steps from the Grand Canal. My Mom and Dad LOVED Venice and it’s my Mom’s dream to return there some day.

YAY! That was fun wasn’t it????? Oh yeah……those of you who didn’t get it right – or even come close to getting it right – or were miles and miles and miles off – or guessed some other planet in another solar system (haha), this is for YOU!

The less coveted but lovely “I have no idea WHERE this photo is from” award……

HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYBODY !!

Kitty Hugs, Sammy

  Oh Mom says the gondoliers were just down below the roofs – my parents hotel (where this rooftop shot was taken) was right on a little canal. My parents ALSO took a midnight gondola ride since it was their honeymoon and the gondolier DID sing Santa Lucia and a bunch of other stuff – – – – it was romantic (although I have NO experience with romance myself…..sniff…..).

      My parents could hear the gondola guys singing ALLL night from their hotel room – of course the windows were open and the sound of all the romantic songs drifted up to their room – funny how every single one of those guys had fabulous voices! Maybe all opera singers go to Venice in their “off time” to polish up their arias??????

  FABULOUS!! WOO HOO!! So happy you won – the only one to guess Venice too – bravo. My Mom adored Venice and cried when they had to board the train for the next leg of the honeymoon which was Lucerne, Switzerland. Of all the places they went on that trip, Venice felt the most like a place she’d lived in before in a previous life (!!!!).
