Happy Caturday!

I am submitting this photo of Jimmy for this week's "The Look" theme.

He has a drop of water on his chin because he just came from the water bowl.

This was a real coup for Muse. He loves these two fluffy boys & has been relentless about getting them to include him.

Skiing down Juarez on a sunny afternoon at Taos Ski Valley.

A sunny window + access to my bed: that's what Jimmy is thankful for.

I did put the bathmat there--hoping to occupy Jimmy for a few minutes. The acorn squash was really only there to keep the bathmat from sliding off the counter.

(series of 3)

correction: I called Jimmy "Otis" the first time around.

He's probably wishing for some sunshine, like me. It's been cloudy and raining for days and days.

(That last part is from Jimmy. He ricocheted across the keyboard.)

...the last of the Bentonia Bluesmen

He just ate a big meal, so he might just be zoned out.

Jimmy seemed a little sad this morning. He was staring out of the window, so I brought him some warm clothes from the dryer. At the last minute, though, I stuck a few warm pieces into the cat bed. He crawled in immediately, but he did at least consider the pile. (series of 3)

The light was passing through his right eye!

Well, this is what happens when you read the theme for the week on a Sunday morning and then take photos 4 days later. I remembered "attributes" and forgot to zoom in close.

However, I liked the light on Jimmy's whiskers against the shadows of the bushes in front of our house. I cropped the photo but didn't alter the exposure at all. The lighting was harsh and the shadows were dark but they did make Jimmy's whiskers show up.

I go into work very rarely (I work remotely from home) but I do have to go in this morning so I'll be back to comment on everyone's Happy Caturday posts this afternoon.

Happy Caturday: Attributes

as usual - if you see Jimmy - you see also having a more or less big stick in his mouth

When I placed warm, just-dried laundry on the kitchen counter, Jimmy could not have been more happy. I took lots of photos; thank you for your indulgence.

The sun breaks through the clouds.

MY FAVORITE THINGS:

This is my last bottle of a store pick bourbon purchased from a discount liquor store in Bluffton Indiana. This particular batch Is sweet and smooth, caramel and vanilla. The Jimmy's Picks I have purchased since have been good to very good, but they are not this.

Jimmy selected a barrel of bourbon and then specified the variety of wooden staves used for additional aging. steeping staves as it were.

I do not care for the regular line of Maker's Mark or any of the editions I have tried, it is hugely popular and widely liked by other people. I believe I have an unsophisticated palette.

An interesting, useless and meaningless fact; this is the only label I have seen printed as Jimmy Pick, all other bottles have been Jimmy's Pick.

From my Favorite Things album.

(For anyone who doesn't know Jimmy, he has great fondness for the dish drainer.)

I'm sorry for all the embarrassing things I've put you through. I really do respect you and promise to start treating you with the dignity you deserve.

Love,

Kerri

PS Have you by any chance seen Leo's super cute candy cane antlers?
