Hear Ye, Hear Ye!
Geography Class is now in session!
Welcome class……please put your cellphones away, your paper airplanes, and spitballs because it’s time to LEARN SOMETHING!
We had an amazing day yesterday with a lot of guesses popping in – ALL DAY LONG. Part of that was because we had two posts yesterday – one for the Teaser and one for my Fifth Blogaversary………but it DID bring more traffic to THIS blog than normal so thanks to all of you “newbies” visiting us yesterday and guessing the Teaser – I hope you’re back today to find out what’s what and who’s who and most of all WHERE WAS THAT PHOTO TAKEN???
Thanks for that rousing cheer SuzieQ!
Let’s thank our GUEST TEASER before we show the photo and “TELL ALL” shall we? The Teaser was sent in by my pal Speedy the Bun and his Mum Miss Rachel! This is for you my friends!
Here’s the photo!
It’s a certified WHOPPER isn’t it? Where was it taken? CORFE CASTLE in Dorset, UK! It’s so hard to tell from this shot but this is a GORGEOUS spot to visit – here are two photos AND a link to more info:
Isn’t this pretty? Here’s a link for more info!
So who got what??? Well Oliver and Calvin were our FIRST COMMENTERS – WOO HOO – you boys get this:
The REST of you, get this!
Once again I apologize for having an impossible Teaser………will next week be any better? Maybe……can I promise that? Heck no. Do I want you to have a challenge and maybe learn something about a place on the planet you don’t know anything about purrrrhaps? Heck yes.
PROFESSOR SAM
Today’s Blog – Part TWO
First of all, thank you to everyone who was kind enough to wish me a HAPPY FIFTH BLOGAVERSARY………..it was beyond wonderful and so many sweet comments here and on Facebook and it made my old heart sing! What also made me sing was the support you all gave to Angel Forrest and his Mum Bev for the beautiful posts you all did in their honor AND the support you showed for my Commentathon to honor them as well. The Commentathon was my promise that for each comment left about my blogaversary, Mom and I would donate $1.00 to my local shelter where my parents adopted me 16-1/2 years ago. They can use money and other contributions just like almost all shelters in existence today – most of them struggle to give proper care to their sheltered animals and donations go a long way. Mom and I are still tallying up the comments we got from you on the blog but it looks like a HUGE number as of the writing of this update – we will report to you tomorrow what the final tally is but it’s going to be GREAT! Our shelter will be so thrilled.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts….
you made Forrest’s day SO special.
Together we can do ANYTHING!
Hugs from me and Mom to Angel Forrest over the Bridge, Miss Bev and family, and to all of you……….
