Teaser Tell All

AND THE WINNER IS……………….(you didn’t think I’d tell you that FIRST did you??)   HAHA….no you have to wade through my traditional greeting on Teaser Tell All day and see the photo and blah blah blah before I tell you who won.

Here’s the photos again:

If you guessed Cape Cod, Massachusetts you were RIGHT !!!!   My Mom and Dad have been there SEVERAL times.   Beautiful spot – gorgeous Inns and B&Bs, and endless beaches and breezes.

But enough about how gorgeous it is…………who was the FIRST to guess correctly?   Hmmmm???  It was Flynn of TWO DEVON CATS!  That’s right – Flynn’s parents had seen some of Cape Cod on a cruise and recognized that beach……………so Flynn gets this little goodie which is one of my specially designed (by my amazing graphics department…..cough cough) JUST for the holiday season!

All the rest of you (and we had bunches of you who were right) can help yourself to this to post and declare that you KNEW:

 

Those of you who really did NOT know…….well, don’t feel bad – you’re in good company – but you also still get a special holiday version of THE BIG GREENIE and that’s not so bad right?

Thanks to everyone who peeked and guessed…………I love Tuesdays so much.   It’s fun to show photos and everyone guess where………..I know a lot of the photos are places some of you (and us) will NEVER SEE and travel to but it’s still fun to guess…….at least I hope you have fun with it!

Until next Tuesday – – – – – when we agonize again over a photo or two!

Hugs, Sam the Tease

 

P.S.  If I’ve missed sending you a Holiday card – WHOOPS….we send out so many sometimes somebody gets left out unintentionally – so I’m posting it HERE for anyone who’d like to have it.  It’s posted with my sincere love for you, and hope that you have a beautiful holiday no matter WHAT you are celebrating these next couple of months.

Teaser Tell All

Good Morning All!

You know, when I posted those two pictures yesterday I thought “it’s TOOO easy” – but then I remembered that not everyone has seen all there is to see (including my parents actually) and that just because my Mom and Dad had been there – LOTS of people probably haven’t !

Anyway, here are the photos one last time:

My parents took these shots out on Cape Cod in Massachusetts……LOTS of years ago so who knows if it’s still this beautiful and free of condos and townhouse communities (!!).  Anyway, it looks like a place you could have a great hike don’t you think?   My Mom took lots of photos on that trip – mostly of lighthouses all along the Cape – because she was actively painting and wanted to paint lots of light houses – which she did – from her own photos.  After I tell you who gets hugs for guessing right, I might post a couple of her lighthouse paintings (although you’ve all seen them before!).

Who guessed right?  Wanna know?  Say please……. (HAHAHAHAHA)……..the winners are:

Dianna from These Days of Mine, Katie and Cocco from My Mini Pet Pig, and my buddy Easy from EasyRider Blog !    AND, since today is Miss Katie’s birthday and she and Cocco were one of the “right guessers”, I have a special birthday hug for her too!

BIG SAMMY HUGS for Teaser Winners

AND

SPECIAL BIRTHDAY HUG FOR MISS KATIE (Cocco’s Mom)!

Congratulations to everybody…………..we sure had some good guesses………….

Here are a few of Mom’s lighthouse oil paintings – mostly from Cape Cod photos she took!

This is one of Mom’s paintings that doesn’t “live” here anymore – wouldn’t it be fun to climb up those rocks and poke a paw in that little hole full of water??? This is Pemaquid Point Light.

Another one of Mom’s paintings…and wouldn’t it be FUN to play in that grass???

Now, I want to let you know that I’ve already received the first entry in the “BEST PJ’s” competition that we’ll be having May 10th at my BLOGAVERSARY SLUMBER PAWTY.    I do believe this competition is going to be TOUGH to judge – I’m glad I won’t be doing it!  – YOU will be picking the winner.  I’m sure you want to enter yourselves in the contest right?  Just send a photo to my Mom not later than May 8th so she can get a voting poll ready for my Blogaversary post.

YES THERE WILL BE PRIZES FOR THE WINNER !!!!!!! 

YES WE WILL HAVE SNACKS INCLUDING POPCORN (WHAT’S A SLUMBER PAWTY WITHOUT THAT??!!)

YES YOU SHOULD HAVE PAJAMAS ON IN YOUR ENTRY FOR THE BEST PAJAMAS (ALTHOUGH I KNOW SOME OF YOU SLEEP AU NATURALE!)

I can’t wait to celebrate with all my friends at my two year Blogaversary………so grab your jammies, get your human to snap a photo, and send it to my Mom at junekimm@aol.com

For those of you who just HAVE to know who the first entry was from……………EASY WAS FIRST !!!

Kitty Hugs, Your Pal Sammy 😀 😀 😀

A Picture’s Worth 1,000 Words

One of my Mom's paintings....but wouldn't it be FUN to play in that grass???

Saturday!  Yippeee!  I was staring at this painting in Mom’s studio while she was answering email….wondering what it would be like to be right there playing in all that grass.  Imagine the voles, field mice, grasshoppers, and little beach creatures there are hiding out just waiting for a hunter like me to come along!  I don’t have any high grass to wander through here at home – Mom keeps our grass pretty well mowed down to the three inch height – so playing in grass is pretty limited to munching the occasional missed clump or leaping up to capture a lawn moth and holding it down on the grass with my paw.  I have to wonder though about how all that grass along the beach in this picture would be to poke around in.

Mom said she took the photograph that she painted this from on Cape Cod when she and Dad were on a vacation “way back when” (I think that means before they got hitched….you know…..when dinosaurs roamed the earth 🙂 …).  They were walking along the beach while Mom snapped pictures.   Dad told her years later that he almost asked her to marry him that day.  A year later he finally did ask her – they were on another vacation then – up in Kennebunkport, Maine. 

Funny how photos or paintings have memories attached to them sometimes huh?  This is one of Mom’s favorites – – – I suppose knowing the story behind it, I “get” that.  But then, I’m a sensitive kind of cat…………….. 🙂

Happy Saturday Peeps!
