Hello Students! Come in and take a seat….
It’s time for us to spill the beans about yesterday’s Teaser photo…….are you ready?
Alright then let’s go…………………..first of all I will let you know who our FIVE (yes I said FIVE) First Commenters yesterday were! Now we know that’s a “bumper crop” of Firsties but we are confident (mostly) that the Cheer Team will take that in their stride when it comes to doing their cheer later………..it’s a big load of names for sure! The winners of the new FIRST COMMENTER badge are:
Phenny, Kitties Blue, Friends Furever, The Cat On My Head, Two Devon Cats, and Kolytyi!
This is for you!
Concatulations First Commenters!!
Now here’s the photo we used yesterday – it was one of my Mom’s………………..
This is the beautiful “Luray Singing Tower” – a carillion tower with 47 bells that was built in the town of Luray, Virginia by the Luray Caverns, in 1937. Here’s a link to more information if you’d like to learn something about it. Mom and Dad have heard the bells and they are BEAUTIFUL!!!! CLICK HERE
So who was the lucky ducky who figured this one out FIRST yesterday??????
Miss Jackie of TWO DEVON CATS!
You are the FIRST to get the new FIRST RIGHT GUESSER BADGE!
And several others guessed it right after Miss Jackie did……………..all of YOU get this new badge:
Then of course we have a new Greenie for those of you who guessed but guessed incorrectly………………
Our Art Department at Ding Dong Sheep School hopes you like the new badges……………….they worked hard to have them ready for this week!!
Big Cheer for All our Winners This Week?
Gosh, I didn’t realize we had so many people in our audience today…………………..(cough cough).
Well time to have our Cheer Team come in and cheer their little socks off for all of our winners today………………..we had a bunch of them and I hope they got a good soak in the hot tub before they came – they will be in a good mood!
OK Team – we know it was a challenge with five First Commenters……………sorry about that but you did a good job. Now go get your soakie time!! I see Sarge is already enjoying his time off today:
This was a great Teaser……………..and who knows what we’ll find for you NEXT week! Anyone who has a photo they’d like featured on our Teaser Tuesday should send it in to our Mom via our email address. We’re always looking for TOUGHIES!
So who’s UP for lunch????????
Congratulations to the winners. It looks such a beautiful place,I would love to hear the bells.

I was going to google bell towers but didn’t even know which country to start in, probably France and Italy. When I saw Dianna’s comment after mine saying it looked familiar I wondered if she had sent the photo in. I went to her blog to see if it said where she lived which it did, so then I knew which area to start in. Et voila! My first search brought up 3 bell towers and one was obviously the right one.
I was then surprised this morning to see it was your photo and not Dianna’s.

HAHAHA…………I think almost everyone who lives in Virginia has been to the beautiful Luray Caverns and seen the tower…….the Caverns are spectacular but that tower has such BEAUTIFUL music from the bells too. You are smart to figure out how to follow the trail after Dianna’s “looks familiar” comment and you got TWO BADGES today which is GREAT!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too

Carillons and bell towers are such pretty things. I am glad they are still around and that they even have professional players! There is a set of bells where my parents lived, and there is a famous bell tower in Parliament in Ottawa, Ontario. And at the U ofM and MSU here in our hoe state of MI. I have heard them all..and more as well:)
Love them so much…and my mom told me it always reminded her of her homeland, where the bells summoned peeps to church, and for other things, too. Including the time of day!
Concats to all that slew of firsties!
