STEP RIGHT UP LADIES AND GENTS AND ANIMALS OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS!
TIME FOR THE TEASER TELL ALL!!
That was a good one as it turned out…………wasn’t it? However we did have a FIRST RIGHT GUESSER……..and several RIGHT GUESSERS as well………………so before I give you the info on won, let me show you the photos one more time!
Mom took these photos on a vacation many years ago she and my Dad took to Boston……however, the photos aren’t FROM Boston, they are ones she snapped while visiting Plimouth Plantation, near Middleboro, Massachusetts! Here’s the website for the Plantation – it’s a really FUN website so please visit it if you have time…….. CLICK HERE. The recreated village takes you back to the 1600’s in a really wonderful way………..here’s what Wikipedia said:
Plimoth Plantation is a living museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA, that shows the original settlement of the Plymouth Colony established in the 17th century by English colonists, some of whom later became known as Pilgrims. They were among the first people who immigrated to America to avoid religious persecution and to seek religious separation from the Church of England.[1] It currently is a not-for-profit museum supported by admissions, contributions, grants and volunteers.[2]
It took my parents a while to visit everything – it was just so fascinating. Everyone was in clothing of the period and were occupied doing “every day life” in the village………there was a smithy, women cooking in the homes over open fires, farming, tending livestock……everything as authentic as it could be. If you approach one of the volunteers in costume to engage them in a chat or ask a question, they will respond as they would have in the 1600’s.
SO – who was the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER you want to know??? It was the Kitties Blue of The Cat On My Head! That’s right! This my friends is yours!
I’m giving an Honorable Mention to our fabulous Teaser buddy and pal, Mr. Leo because HE actually named the Plantation (although he neglected to name the town and State) – so Leo this is for you!
Everyone else who guessed right gets this one:
And those of you who were in the CLUELESS category get THE GREENIE!
Now wasn’t that FUN? Let’s do this again NEXT Tuesday – what do you say?
HUGS, Sammy the Teaser
P.S. If you’re looking for something ELSE to do today – visit the Tabby Cat Club where we’re having almost an “instant replay” of the Cat Scouts Riverboat Trip!
Oh, well done anyone who guessed it right – first or last as we wouldn’t have had a clue!

Concats to the winners. Mum thought it was a museum village. There was an exhibition several years ago on Plymouth Hoe which is about half a mile from the Mayflower Steps. They had photos of those houses and she remembered the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod and named their settlement after Plymouth UK which is where we live.

Hi Sammy, The Human is being so unhelpful I can’t do a thing with her. Guess what? One of the teachers quit on the first day of school! It was a SCIENCE teacher! So my English-major Human was teaching chemistry and madly helping to interview applicants and Thank Cod they hired someone today–whew. Man, what a hot mess this has been and frankly she’s been feeding me but not much more. We are really looking forward to FRIDAY!!!

Poor Spitty – this definitely is not the treatment a Kingly Kat deserves that’s for sure…..that’s just plain AWFUL that a teacher quits on the first day of school! Imagine that….why not ahead of time so things could be properly covered???? Just mean!!!! Your Human stepping up and taking over was a REAL help but also made it rather difficult for her to keep her head above water I’m sure. I should think that once the new teacher gets settled purrrrrhaps things will get back to whatever passes for normal around your house! I’m still waiting for NORMAL here………
