• Piratey Monkey Fun……

    Today’s Fortune: You will receive a gift from someone who cares about you. It’s crazy how accurate my fortunes are! I get lots of wonderful gifts from my friends, but the one I got last Saturday was extra special. Me and Mom went to Tulsa with Dad last weekend. Dad was meeting a bunch of his camera friends to take some photos in a nice park. We decided that we would spend the day with our friend Aunt Tracy. I did not know that we would spend the whole day in yarn stores, but I probably should have guessed, because…

  • Better late than never…..

    Today’s Fortune: Someone special is thinking of you. I wonder who that might be? I hope it is my dear Dharma! I sure think of her every day. I know a lot of my friends think of me often, too, so it might be one of them. I have a lot of catching up to do. I am hoping things will start to get back to normal, and I will get to blog a lot this week, because so many things have happened to me in the past few weeks! Mom says I should give everybody who has sent me…

  • Aaarrggh, Mateys!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are far more influential than you think. Boy, I sure hope this fortune is true.  It took a lot of convincing to get Mom to let me blog today.  She said I could, but only if I’m quick about it, because she will have dinner ready in a little while.  I haven’t been able to blog for over a week this time.  I hope my friends don’t think I’ve disappeared.  Maybe I can influence her to let me have a lot of blog time this week. I have so much to talk about, I don’t even know…

  • According to my calculations….

    Today’s Fortune: You will be traveling and coming into a fortune. That is exciting news!! I have several trips coming up, so I know the traveling part will come true. And if the fortune part happens, I am ready. Mom bought me a big orange calculator, so I will be able to keep track of my fortune. Even though I don’t have a fortune yet, I am already making good use of my giant calculator.  I use it when I conduct Official Monkey Business. I have spent the last week adding up all kinds of important numbers.  Here are just…

  • Moms and Tractor Blankets…..

    Today’s Fortune: This weekend will afford you personal opportunity. Very true. Today is Mother’s Day. This is a day to be grateful for your Mom, and do nice things for her. I am very thankful for my Mom, because she does all kinds of good stuff for me.  Today, I am helping her make sock monkeys. We have a bunch of them that are underway. We have had a mostly uneventful weekend, and I have spent most of it just resting. Me and Cujo and the new pugs have been enjoying our new John Deere tractor blanket. Mom says it is…

  • A Sticky Situation….

    Today’s Fortune: Some quick thinking will get you out of a sticky situation. I hope this fortune does not come true. We have a very sticky situation here, and I am rather fond of it. My Mom has been buying all kinds of stickers for me! I got them all out the other day, and was nearly buried underneath a mountain of them. My cat Smokey helped me with them. Mom said I could not keep all of the stickers, because she is going to use some of them, and send some of them to her Ravelry friends.  She said…

  • With Great Power, Comes Great Fun……

    Today’s Fortune: You will always be surrounded by friends. This is good news, but I already pretty well figured that out. We keep getting the best stuff in the mail from our friends! Late last week, a squishy package arrived in our mailbox. It was from our friend Packrat400, who is also called Cheryl. Mom said she thought it was for me!! When I opened it up, there was a very nice card and a very pretty felted heart pin.  Those were for Mom.  The part that was for me was a guy named Mike Bison!!  He is something called…
