Gosh you all did it YET AGAIN………………I thought that would be a toughie for you yesterday and it wasn’t………..in fact within seconds of the Teaser going “LIVE” we had a right guesser who guessed the right place!
Here’s the photo again:
This is a gorgeous spot overlooking the blue blue waters in Scopello, Sicily !!! My friend Leo of Walk To Rio 2016 had actually cycled in this very spot so he really DID know where it was taken. BRAVO LEO! But someone ELSE guessed “Sicily” first even though he didn’t guess the city like Leo, so because he was first with “Sicily” I’m giving him HONORABLE MENTION!!!!
First though, Leo, you get this little beauty!
First Right Guesser!!
Bad Cat Chris, you get this lovely Honorable Mention badge!
Partly Right….not quite TOTALLY!
Everyone who guessed Sicily, Italy OR Scopello you were RIGHT but not FIRST so you get this one!!
Right but not FIRST!
You dear friends (and family!) who didn’t have a clue……….well……..as you know I NEVER forget anyone so you guys get this!
Uhoh…you blew it!
Now, for some more big news……………I’m going to be pawticipating in the Indy 500! Yep…..well, SORT OF………I’m going to help host the Indy 500 celebration at Tabby Cat Club on race day – May 25th! That’s right……how cool is that? You’ll have to visit the TCC and see all the cool cats in their race cars having some fun…………I’ll be one of them for sure. It will be all day long and should be tons of fun………
Also, my parents deserted me most of the day yesterday (imagine that) and took some time to head up to the Blue Ridge Mountains to drive down Skyline Drive and have lunch at Big Meadows Lodge. HOW DARE THEM! Know what’s even worse? Both of them had fish type items for lunch but they did NOT (REPEAT NOT) bring back a kitty bag for their beloved cat. Nope. Not a scrap. Selfish huh? I think so. They did snap a few pix though – it does look like it was a pretty day to do Skyline. It’s only an hour away from here so a very nice day trip (but that doesn’t excuse them for not bringing me a treat!).
That’s about it for yours truly……………….concats to all of you who knew the Teaser today you smarty pants friends!!!! However next week I already know what photo(s) I’m gonna use and you’ll NEVER EVER guess where they were taken……………..that’s how hard they are – so there! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Hugs and Happy Tell All Day!
