The seagulls were waiting for us when we took a lunch break.

Sallyanne packed a picnic lunch for us and it was so good!

Notice that the seagulls were hoping for leftovers.

Hey! I hope someone took a picture of YOU, Vermontcat. :D

Looks like the weather was nice for a picnic. :)

We are having a great time. Siegmar and Barbara have been on their own for a couple of days now. Tomorrow we will go to the Branford Marsalis concert in Burlington - but first, some good Vietnamese food. Maybe the diet can weight, I mean wait, a day or two. Gosh, I know that I have gained some weight, but.....

Back to the important topic. I think Siegmar and Barbara are getting the best treatment from my cats. They love having S & B around the house. It is one continual kitty festival at Camp Vermont. Every now and then Cinnamon will run past, but for the most part, our quiet (?) time revolves around the three Abys!

Stay tuned!

SAS

Thank you Vermont Cat, for taking such fun photos and showing us around the Shelburne Museum. I know that B & S were thrilled to meet you and spend time with you!

P. S. I lost my button, that is why only Siegmar and Barbara are wearing one. But most of you know that I "lost my buttons" a long time ago!

[Cataholic]

Great photos! But...I wonder...what little buttons did S and B have on in the photos? They reminded me of the ones we get that say, "I voted today"....but, I am thinking they aren't..UNLESS it is the election of the most cutest Abby?

I noticed those too, and thought they probably meant they were paid up visitors to the museum. ;)

Great photos, but I with ramanth - we want pics of you too! ;) :D

Looks, and sounds, like Barbara and Siegmar are continuing to have a most wonderful vacation! I can't wait until they get back home to see all their wonderful photos.

SAS - quite time with 3 Aby's, isn't that an oxymoron? ;) :D :D

Thanks everyone.:)
Sallyanne, I am hoping that you will have some Camp Vermont photos to post of your kitties and their houseguests.

Cataholic, Debbie is right, the stickers show that they paid the admission.
Here is a link for anyone who would like to see what exhibits are at the museum.
Shelburne Museum (http://www.shelburnemuseum.org/)
Barbara loved the new quilt exhibit and we all loved the artwork collection.
Unfortunately we couldn't take flash photos in some of the buildings.
We loved one painting of a cat that looked a lot like my Samantha.
I even found a postcard of it in the giftshop on my way out, I meant to take a photo of it and post it.
Sallyanne did bring her camera but I don't think I saw her take any photos.
Siegmar took lots of wonderful photos but you all will have to wait until they get back home from their vacation to see those.
So sorry, no photos of me this time.:p

[Barbara]

I just noticed that we forgot to take a picture with Zoe!!!! Silly us!. Lost our buttons too!

The Shelburne museum is gorgeous. You just wouldn't know with what to start but Zoe showed us around- we were so lucky! Yes, there is a portrait of one of Samantha's ancestors so she must be of noble origin!

Three funny monkeys here are the best hosts you could imagine- not like my boys at home who did the snake thing as well as Lady E:o

This morning I woke up with one kitty (Chloe) between the quilt and the sheet and one under the sheet. This is what I call lasagna kitties:D

Sallyanne is a very good cook. Her wraps (at the picnic) were wonderful and we got to taste some gorgeous dinners. We all will bother about our weight later.

Pet Talk made all that possible- I just cannot believe it that I am here and could meet some of my online friends.

Again, beautiful weather, great scenery and wonderful company - and cats!

Thanks for sharing this trip with us. :)

[auggie]

I’m extremely jealous!
Can’t wait to see more pictures.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I have waited all day to see these photos. My internet connection was down and I just spent two and a half hours talking to India and then Omaha.

Anyway....glad to see you continue to enjoy great hospitality, interesting sights, and sweet kitties!

[shais_mom]

YEAA!!!
Great Pics!!!
Hope you have a wonderful 'rest of your trip!!!'

[gini]

Wonderful photos and I am so happy that everyone is having such a good time. Yes, I am jealous too.

Pet Talk has widened our horizons has it not?

(Sara, sorry about your computer - yes one day I talked to Manilla, India and Nova Scotia - all in one day - just trying to get my computer up and running.) But, no we aren't losing jobs here in the U.S. are we??

Wonderful pictures! Barbara I do believe your visit has caused the invention of a new Pet Talk term - Lasagna kitties!! We must add that to the Furminology Dictionary! ;)

[Randi]

Wonderful pictures! I'm so glad you're all having a great time! :D As Gini says, PT has definately widened our horizons.

The Sheldon Museum looks like a beautiful place!

Sara. I'm sorry about your computer connection, hope you'll be up and running soon again! :)

Enjoy the rest of your holiday and the lasagne kitties! :D

[Vio&Juni]

Wonderful sights, weather, hosts, kitties .... I wish I could go on vacation right now.

Glad, B & S have good time. And we have good time watching and reading about their travels :)

[sasvermont]

This morning B & S left for Mass. and then Maine. They shall return though, so I am not so sad, just lonely.

We had a wonderful time, I do believe, and the cats were perfects little hostesses! They slept with our guests and kept them warm!

I will download a few photos this evening, I promise.

Off to cut the grass now.

What a wonderful duo, that Barbara and Siegmar, make!

SAS and her lonely brats:cool:

[Randi]

Sallyanne, I'm glad you enjoyed their stay too - yes, aren't they lovely people! :) I'm sure one of the highlights for them was to wake up with your kitties in their bed. :D .... Would you have made a bet on that before they came?? LOL!

I'm so looking forward to see your pictures! :)
