• Birthday Bananagins!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will soon bring joy to someone. That is a great fortune! I hope I’ll bring joy to everyone just by finally getting to blog again! It has been a month and a half since I got to blog. That is because I have been dealing with monsters non-stop since Christmas. I asked Santa to bring me monsters. Mom told me to be careful what I wished for, and boy, was she right! Monsters are a full time job. Santa brought me a nice new red sweater, monster stickers, monster stamps, and a whole package of monsters, witches,…

  • Easy Rider. . .

    Today’s Fortune: Happy news is on its way to you. I sure wish that happy news would hurry up and get here, because it has not been very fun at my house for the last week. Mom has been busy doing something she calls “Spring Cleaning.” Spring cleaning means that sock monkeys do not have any fun at all, and if we don’t keep a low profile, we wind up having to help. Mom has spent the past five days organizing all of her yarn. We were smart. We stayed out of the way. She finally finished that project and…

  • Our Monkey Family Keeps Growing…

    Today’s Fortune: Your blessings are too numerous to count. That is a good fortune, and very true. I have more friends than I can count, and I get to do more fun stuff than anybody I know. It is good to be me! After I opened my big box from Big Monkey, I helped Mom open the rest of the stuff that finally got delivered on Monday. We had two more Christmas cards from our Ravelry friends! One was from 2MayBoys. Her real name is Dawn, and she is Niklas and Mattias’s mom. Her card has cute puppies and peppermint…

  • Dinner and Darts at McNellie’s!!

    Today’s Fortune: May life throw you a pleasant curve. Hmmm…. it sounds like my fortune thas more fun in store for me! I don’t mind if life throws me a pleasant curve, as long as there are not darts involved. It is time again for another one of my famous Restaurant Reviews! This time, I will be reviewing McNellie’s Pub House in Oklahoma City. McNellie’s is one of our favorite places to go. We took Aaron and Adrianne there for dinner after the museum. My dad really likes McNellie’s because he likes to play darts, and McNellie’s has dartboards on…

  • Astronauts and Oil Tycoons….

    Today’s Fortune: Others enjoy your company. I am sure glad to get this fortune, because it seems that Aaron does not want to have his picture taken with me.  At least I got the Wild West picture of us.  I am hoping he will come around. I am very glad to get back to my blog.  I did not have a chance to blog while I was in Omaha, because I was too tired at the end of each day.  My big brother Shawn did not mind having his picture taken with me, so I will be showing pictures of…

  • Monet and Monkeys….

    Today’s Fortune: Happy news is on its way to you. Another great fortune!!  I can’t wait to see what happy news I get next!   It seems like happy news just follows me around.  I got lots of happy news over the last week or so.   It all came in the mailbox. First, I got some wonderful yarn from our friend Deborah.  Deborah is from a wonderful magical place called yarnmarket.com.  Yarn Market has every kind of yarn you can think of, plus they also have patterns, books, kits, needles and hooks.  They probably have everything in the Yarniverse there!  …
