The other day I was cleaning out my desk, and I came across an old memory stick. The cameras I have now don’t even use that kind of memory stick, so I checked it out to make sure there was nothing important on it. Imagine my surprise when I found several pictures from 2009! Here they are – they aren’t the best pictures, but I thought y’all might like to see them anyway.
Sugarbutt on the counter, eyeballing the daily harvest of habanero peppers.
Musta been snack time! Sugarbutt and Tommy on the counter, Spanky (awwww!) and Kara on the floor to the right. Joe Bob in the middle, and next to him are some of the True Blood kittens!
Same snack time, different angle. See those two little gray kittens in and among the True Bloods? That’s Jake and Elwood!
Hoyt, in Fred’s desk chair. Doesn’t he look like a smug little monkey?
Sugarbutt and Tommy, brudderly love.
This was the first (AND LAST) year we had turkeys. They spent a lot of time on the side stoop, staring in at us.
“Don’t mind if I do!” I can’t swear to it, but that very well might be the turkey we named Hjonkie. Because that’s the kind of sound he made – “Hjonk! Hjonk!”
Hydrox and Keebler from the Cookies litter.
They adored that bed. Silly boys.

“What? What you want, lady?”
Maria gets a belly rub.
Eyeballing the feather teaser.
Angelo, lookin’ smug.
Mariette, staring at the door. Why? I have no idea. Maybe it was speaking to her.
More feather teaser gazing.
Dennis, slightly disturbed.
Maria in the front, Mariette in the back. I just love the stripes and spots on these kittens!
“You making me nervous with all these pictures you’re taking, lady. STOP IT.”
Yesterday, Angelo walked over to me, let me pet him, and then flopped down against my leg. FINALLY, I’ve convinced him that I’m not so bad! I’m sure it won’t be long before he’s actually climbing into my lap, the way his sisters and brothers do. At one point yesterday, I had Maria, Orlando, and Dennis all piled up in my lap, cleaning each others’ ears. So CUTE.

Sugarbutt, in his KatKabin in the back yard. You can tell that this picture is from a couple of weeks ago, because (1) the ground is dry and (2) the sun is shining. I’m starting to think we’re never going to see the sun again!
